Rohit Shetty likely to return for ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi’ Season 8

‘Golmaal Again’ director Rohit Shetty, who hosted the 5th and 6th season of the popular reality show ’Khatron Ke Khiladi’, is likely to return as the host of its 8th season.

It was Rohit’s favourite actor Ajay Devgn who put out the news through a tweet yesterday:

“Shooting non-stop since past five months. Getting a much needed break, waiting for Rohit to leave for ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi’,” Ajay tweeted.

Arjun Kapoor, who hosted the previous season, will be busy promoting his upcoming film’ Half Girlfriend’ followed by ‘Mubarakan’ which releases in July.

Shetty recently announced his most successful franchise film ‘Golmaal Again’ for the Diwali weekend.

  • Funny how readers of Indicine have changed their opinion. Initially when 2.0 was announced for Diwali, everyone were in favour of 2.0 saying Golmaal 4 has no chance.

    http://www.indicine.com/movies/bollywood/golmaal-4-vs-robot-2-0-diwali-2017/

    Just have a look at the poll results and likes vs dislikes ratio for the comments.

    Now everyone started saying that Golmaal will be blockbuster, family audience will prefer G4 on Diwali, blah blah blah. Just wait for the teaser and trailer of 2.0 and the buzz will grow again. Golmaal Again will be turn out to be another Housefull 3.

  • Mr. Rohit Shetty, you paid tribute to Thaliava Rajnikanth in your film Chennai Express through “Lungi Dance”…..and now you are clashing with Rajni’s 2.0 …… what was all that tribute for ? You said in many of your interviews how you are a big fan of Rajni..and you respect him but why did you decide to clash with 2.0 then ?…. is business more important than the word respect now ? You can find any other dates and Golmaal 4 will easily do 150 Cr business …but you decided for a three way battle when 2.0 and Secret Superstar was already announced….have some mercy on 2.0 producers because 400 cr is at stake….

  • there are only one khiladi of bollywood and that is Akshay Kumar sir can’t wait for this diwali. 2.0 is storm no one can stop it to broken every BO record

  • 2.0 will crush golmaal again mark my words, I was huge fan of ajay sir, however, since he started doing golmaal kind of films the respect is decreasing, please do company, ouatim, deevangee, gangajal kind of movies why are you ruining your acting prowess

  • Why to release golmaal again on diwali it doesn’t makes sense it will be a mindless comedy movie we all know public will watch it any time as everybody loves entertaining movies and golmaal is huge brand in india but diwali deserves a event movie like 2.0.

  • @Yousaf

    What’s the point bringing in bringing Akshay into all this? Why should he run?

    @Akash

    We don’t pray for that too happen GA going same way with H3 you and I know that very well. Yes the buzz for 2.0 will still be higher but wishing bad for a movie that had announced way back its releasing on Diwali and the makers keeping quite can be called a calculated tactic or due to unfavorable date for its release 2017 shows lack of inbuilt confidence.

    @Sujan

    It takes a lot of pain to budget a high octane movie and looking at present scenario the initial antispated collections won’t be the same. Happen with Shivaay too. Personally even I would not have wanted the clash because I dont know of Akshay but am skeptical GA if can collect 160-170…I wanted more. Both movies will recover but Ajay and Akshay breaking their highest grossing records(DOMESTIC) looking at stake now though anything can happen. Let’s see what comes up next and a solution comes out too…I have a feeling SS will shift date.
    Wishing both the movies high collections and something both parties can sit and amend. Either one releasing some days before or after…
    Arguing till tomorrow won’t change anything for now….I have no personal grudges with 2.0 like how his fans have for Ajay rather wishing their team the very best.

  • Kuttiya fans spotted. Their logic is that just because someone respect someone, they shouldn’t release their film. Yeah riiiight.

  • 2.0 will crush golmaal again mark my words, I was huge fan of ajay sir, however, since he started doing golmaal kind of films the respect is decreasing, please do company, ouatim, deevangee, gangajal kind of movies why are you ruining your acting prowess

  • @100% true @akash
    Yes it’s all about perception. If the posters of 2.0 had created such buzz imagine how huge the teaser and trailer would be!

    And on other hand there’s this Ajay who is using a franchise to fulfill his lust for Diwali. He himself made a big film last year so doesn’t he know the importance of solo release on for such films on big holidays? Akshay always had bigger potential than Ajay to release his film on EDX. If Akki had known earlier that Ajay would be doing this for his big film even he would have booked Diwali 2016 for Housefull 3. It’s not that he can’t, after Khans it’s him and Hrithik who have the potential to grab big festivals.

  • @aisha
    At times when festivals and holidays are being booked in an advance of even 2 years it doesn’t matter who has booked it first.
    Let me give you an example- Suppose Ajay had booked Diwali for Shivaay 2 yrs in advance and Salman has announced a film for the same date in 6-12 months advance. Obviously Ajay would move. U can’t say Ajay should get Diwali just because he booked it first. The bigger star earns it at the end of the day. Same happened with Padmavati.

    Talking about 2.0 and GA, let’s not talk about which is a bigger film. In North, Golmaal is bigger but in South, All India level and worldwide 2.0 is way ahead. My point is both films have the potential to pull audience from every nook and corner of the country so it is pointless to afford a clash and dent their business.

  • “Akshay always had bigger potential than Ajay to release his film on EDX.

    So what happen since Golmaal vs AR none of Akki movies has been released Diwali if he had the potentials? You are so funny….we all saw what his big Ouatimd did around that period…. He had to move it for Srk CE. His last Diwali Hit is over decade ago! 12 years to be precise.( You thank Rajni Sir for bringing back Akshay to the EDX platforms in which your fans always cried why isnt Akki getting EDX). That’s what happened he had to move his movie for a bigger Star while in Ajay’s case once he books Any festive period He must release have that in your mind. Thats his zone and yeah the Distributors are the ones that persuade Consistent stars to release their movies on EDX so I dont know where you got your “if Akshay wanted? ” You think he would in his sense release H3 along with Shivaay? You think he never thought so?? Yes over the years biggest banners like Yash and Dharma can clash their movie with Ajay but…. …and listen 2.0 is a Tamil movie with the main lead Rajnikant ,all your stories here just makes no sense. Well move on its okay d way you think(LOL)!! You can easily gather lots of sympathy votes using opaque off points ….It takes lots of guts to be booking for Diwali consecutively over a decade 1st always and retaining that release date which forms the elite EDX club….Ask any learnard movie fan which Celebrities have been consistent with Eid Diwali and Xmas anytime they announce it…you get your answer! Funny Rocky telling us if Akshay wants?? I dont want to be harsh on Akshay by following your logic I too have ready made answers but am just being myself….the me in me gives ne no room to Castigate Akshay for now thats why am just giving you a diplomatic reply. So no need for any long discussion,I already know how myopic your mindset is and its good as you try to feel Mr Good but unfortunately trying to Troll Ajay makes it more clear where you are going too. Am off have a nice day.

  • @aisha
    I would have respected Ajay if he had played those clashes in a clean way. Let content do all the talking and if u’re not confident about ur film just avert the clash. But he went on to create two of the most ugliest clashes ever. Atleast OUATIMD played a clean game with Chennai Express.

    If Akshay was really desperate for Diwali why didn’t he release Singh is Kinng on Diwali 2008. SIK was the most anticipated movie if 2008 along with Ghajini and was a record opener on non-holiday and second highest that year after Ghajini on Xmas holiday. I hope I don’t need to explain the level of Akshay’s stardom during mid 2007-09. So tell why didn’t he release Singh is Kinng on Diwali????? Was he scared Ajay(Golmaal Returns) would crush him???

    And yes Akshay could have released Housefull 3 Diwali 2016 if he wanted. It was always a bigger film than Shivaay.
