Director Rohit Shetty has collaborated with many of Bollywood’s biggest stars over his career including Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Sanjay Dutt, Abhishek Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Kajol and others. He has directed several highly successful blockbusters that continue to be cherished by film enthusiasts. In a recent interview, the filmmaker discussed his casting strategy, sharing his thoughts on working with some of Bollywood’s finest performers.
During a conversation with Pinkvilla, the filmmaker was asked about his strategy behind pulling off an ensemble cast for his movies. He expressed his joy when actors, for whom the roles are specifically written, agree to work with him. But, he added that it is not important for him to cast a big star. Rohit Shetty stated, “I am always happy and satisfied about that rather than being ‘See, I got this star to my film.’ More than that, its like ‘We have written and thought of this actor to play this character and they’re performing this.’ That is the satisfaction that you get.”
Meanwhile, all eyes are on Rohit Shetty’s upcoming film, Singham Again. The filmmaker recently wrapped up the shoot and shared a heartwarming note celebrating the legacy of his franchise. He shared a video which stated, “Today we complete 13 years of Singham and look at the magic of destiny. Today we also wrapped Singham Again with Ajay sir. This is my 13th film with him as a director but the journey began back in the 90’s when I was working under him. 33 years later and we are still going strong. See you at the cinemas this Diwali.”
The clip was accompanied by a caption that read, “13 years of Singham, 33 years of brotherhood @ajaydevgn #SinghamAgain.” The video honours Rohit’s friendship with Ajay Devgn.
Singham Again also features Kareena Kapoor Khan, Akshay Kumar, Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, Tiger Shroff, Arjun Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Shweta Tiwari, Siddhartha Jadhav, Dayanand Shetty and Ashutosh Rana. Rohit Shetty has constructed a cop universe in Bollywood with three major films, Singham, Simmba and Sooryavanshi, which starred Ajay Devgn, Ranveer Singh, and Akshay Kumar, respectively
