A report by The Times of India quoted Ramesh Taurani, who produced the 2018 Hindi action thriller film Race 3 which is helmed by D’Souza, as saying, “I spoke to Remo’s wife. A stent (a metal mesh inserted in surgical procedures to make blood flow freely in blocked coronary arteries) has been put. He is stable now.” The report also quoted D’Souza’s friend Aamir Ali, who spoke to him over the phone, as saying, “Remo is much better now. He has always been a fit guy and I see him being as fit as before again very soon.”
