Rohit Shetty directed SRK in Chennai Express
Highlights
- Director Rohit Shetty, whose last film Chennai Express was a blockbuster, says superstar Shah Rukh Khan is now like a family to him. Rohit teamed up with Shah Rukh for the first time in Chennai Express.
- "No equations have changed for me after this film in the industry. It is just that I have made a great friend, a family member in Shah Rukh Khan," Rohit told PTI in an interview here.
- His new found friendship with Shah Rukh is often a talking point in the tinseltown, because the director is also a good friend of noted actor Ajay Devgn. Since the time he started directing films, Ajay has been a regular feature in all his films, except for Chennai Express. With Singham 2, the Rohit-Ajay combination would be back for the ninth time, after their last outing with Bol Bachchan in 2012.
- After Rohit finishes Singham 2, he will most likely make another film with Shah Rukh, which would again be a wholesome entertainer.
- "We had a great time making Chennai Express, it was a learning experience working with Shah Rukh, it was a positive experience. We will do a film together. It will be that (masala entertainer) way only. We are just at planning stage at present, nothing is finalised. I can't say anything more as I don't know what the project will be like when it's complete," Rohit said.
- While Rohit has made sequels of his two popular franchises Golmaal and Singham, he has no such plans for Chennai Express.
- "At present there are no plans of sequel as the story is not like that. Chennai Express doesn't require it. But Shah Rukh Khan and I are definitely working together for a film," he said.
- The duo is also planning to produce Marathi films. "It is at the planning stage. It is too early to talk about it. There are a few friends who have narrated scripts and they want me to produce Marathi films. I am looking forward to it. What kind of a film it will be, I can't say now," Rohit said.
