Ajay Devgn will always stand by me: Rohit Shetty

Rohit Shetty made his directorial debut with the Ajay Devgn starrer ‘Zameen’ more than a decade ago in 2003. Since then, the two have worked together in 9 films. In fact, Rohit has only directed two films that did not feature Ajay and both of those (Chennai Express, Dilwale) featured Shah Rukh Khan in the lead.

Now with reports that all is not well between Shetty and SRK after their 2015 Christmas release ‘Dilwale’ failed to beat the competition, Rohit returns to work with Ajay in the fourth Golmaal film.

Talking about the relationship he shares with Ajay, Shetty said “‘I know Ajay is one guy who will stand by me whenever I need him. Sanju (Sanjay Dutt) is another. I love them. I know Ajay since the last 26 years. With him, even if there’s some work to be done, if I tell his staff or my staff, I know it will happen, so I don’t worry. That understanding is there between us. There is an unspoken understanding between us.”

Shetty also spoke about his other friends in the industry “Some of them are not from the film industry. There’s Prasad, Amrish and Bhaskar, who are all in different professions and they are all my childhood friends since my school days in Dahisar, where I used to stay with my grandmother. I met them when I was 10 years old and have been friends since.”

”People feel that when one achieves fame, one leaves the past behind. With me, it has never happened that way. These guys have been with me since the last 33 years and nothing has changed between us in that time. I didn’t leave my roots behind and carry forward different people who came into my life” he added.

  • Waiting for third movie of Srk and Rohit Shetty.

    May be it happen in 2018…

    Good luck for your upcoming projects Rohit Sir…..

  • To be frank…actor like SRK calliber should avoid such directors..he should also avoid farah khan..let salman ajay and others do movie with him..SRK as actor is not made for such role..he is in different league if acting is considered.SRK , AAMIR ,AKSHAY and HRITHIK are the true actors and superstars

  • Srk took credit of ce success and blame dilwale failure to rohit…. Unfair…
    That’s why rohit goes toward ajay again…
    Goalmaal again will be huge…
    Ajay rohit combo is back

  • next diwali -golmaal 4
    so next diwali is also devgan wali
    i think ,shivay v/s admh will also be like md v/s rustom
    md will be rule in masses in weekend & in both masses & classes on week days ,same will be happen with shivaay
    rustom & admh will work in classes but if md & shivaay will be extraordinary ,admh & rustom’s final verdict will be average
    p.s– my personal opinion

  • if we minus box office records then akki and ajay be considerd same as khans,but money is everythink,so khans place above these two.
    ajay is the only current superstar get 2 national award and akshay is considerd one of the best action star in the world and best comic star in india.

  • Worst Director Ever..
    No Skills Only Flying Cars…
    I Dont Like Him…
    Ajay Sir Dont Waste Your Tym To Work With Him…
    Work With Prakash Jha.

  • ajay & hrithik r two of the most unlucky actor in the industry ,they have the potential to score big but always faces clash but they never fear of clash
    sos could easily earn 150 crores but faces clash with jthj
    same ,bang bang could easily earn 200 cr. but he also had to face clash
    now ,this year they both r trying to do something different with a big budget movies but they r facing clash
    hope they will not face any clash in coming time

  • The relationship between Ajay and Rohit is extremely solid and trustworthy . In 1991 when Ajay made his debut with PAK Rohit was the assistant director and after 12 years Rohit worked with Ajay in Zameen in 2003 . Zameen was a failure but still Ajay stood by Rohit and did Sunday and Golmaal . Golmaal started the success of Rohit and presented Ajay in a Comic role which he wanted to do since a long time . I hope this friendship grows more and more in the coming years . I hope Rohit makes a solid turnaround after making CE, SR and Dilwale in the last 4 years . !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @indicine
    Ranveer singh announced an international(indo-chinese) project along with rohit shetty through his twitter account, its rumoured that tamnah bhatia will share screen space with Ranveer singh, Please post an article along with details

  • SRK is a so selfish actor and businessman!
    When Rohit gave him an only blockbuster in years, he kissed him (Rohit).
    But when Dilwale failed to become a Hit due to SRK’s own ego to destroy SLB, he solely put blames on Rohit’s Shoulder. Pathetic.

  • Well according to sources Rohit blamed srk for Dilwale’s release date as the failure and srk blamed rohit that he could have made the movie better….

  • Yes, Ajay is the genuine person who brought Rohit into the industry. Yes, Ajay could trust him blindly.
    By now, Rohit must have realized how big fake is the person he worked with in 2013.
    That fake person simply dumps his friends/colleagues if they can’t fulfill his desire of big success or satisfy him.
    Such a selfish and cruel creature that actor is.

  • Rohit Sir, you are at your best when you work with Ajay. The only movie of yours featuring Ajay that I did not like was Singham Returns as ti lacked that typical homour element that your movies generally have. Also the outrageous flying cars are not necessary everytime, just keep that to minimum and focus on more comedy and content.

  • now its official ,mohenjo daro bdget is 115 crores including advertisment and HR’s fee and already recovered 60 crores from sattelite & music rights.
    NOW where r those haters who were saying ,MD budget is 150 cr., 180 cr ,it will be flop ,etc.
    now it will be superhit for sure ,hope it will be blockbuster
    MD ROCKS ,HATERS (akki fans) SHOCKS.
    STORM IS COMING TO DESTROY HATERS. BE SCARED

  • All the best for you Rohit brother… SRK is the main villain in Dilwale’s failure, he has got too much of head weight, but pride goes before a fall…

  • @indicine Pls update about Sultan collection,it has done 299.90cr by today according to Official Figure and should cross 300cr yesterday,it was a very long time when sultan article was published.

  • He is a good director but he can only direct ajay devgan he wasted his two movies with srk specialy doing dilwale which was his worst movie

  • Nobody can’t predict ajay sir opening day collection . Nobody expected Singham Return will collect 32 crore opening . I think it will open 25 crore not less than it .
    @ Aisha I was expected u will thanks to # sunny he appreciated Shivaay trailer . I know u hate him but u should say thanks to him as well as akkians . Hope u will say thanks .

  • Since DILwale has flopped Rohit has taken shelter of ajay and his Golmaal brand.
    He knows his type of masala films aren’t working nowadays

  • @Indicine
    AAMIR Signed THUG or not???
    There are rumours that AAMIR will start shooting for THUG soon
    So plz confirm that.

  • I personally love watching Rohit’s movies irrespective of how the film is received by the critics. His films are very entertaining.
    After the super success of Chennai express Rohit should have come with a much stronger script, but sadly, Dilwale wasn’t even on the level of Chennai express it was really pathetic. The climax was hugeeeee letdown. The comedy didn’t work either.
    So all is not well between srk and Rohit.
    The fault should be laid on Rohit for his direction not srk . ( he ) is just an actor.
    So we hope he never works with srk again.
    But I will always watch his films !!!!!
