Career

Bosco–Caesar started as backup dancer for choreographers LOLLYPOP and Farah Khan.

Next they choreographed a music video for singer Raageshwari’s number "Oye Shava". During the filming of the video, ad film director Prahlad Kakkar happened to walk in and, in turn, asked them to choreograph a few TV commercials he was shooting with cricketer Sachin Tendulkar.
