Highlights

  • Director Rohit Shetty, who has delivered blockbusters galore in Bollywood and currently awaiting the release of Singham Returns, doesn't believe in taking success for granted and so continues to put his "100 percent" into his films.
  • The director Golmaal series, Singham, Bol Bachchan and Chennai Express has a pulse of the audience's taste.
  • Does that put an additional pressure on him to surpass the success of his previous films?
  • "No, it is not about the pressure," Rohit said.
  • "It is the approach that matters the most. You cannot take your success for granted. After Chennai Express, when we were writing Singham Returns, we knew the pressure. Today, that is why I am not nervous,” he added.
  • "See, I don't know the fate of the film and I can't boast of the business. But whether the film is a hit or a flop on Friday, my honesty will be there. When I sit with my team in my office, I would feel 'Yes, we gave our 100 percent to the film'. The rest is up to the audience," he said.
