The heart and hard work behind Rohit Shetty’s terrific action

When it comes to action involving cars, it doesn’t get any better than Rohit Shetty in Bollywood. The director has his very own unique style of filming his famous car sequences, but to make his vision look realistic on the big screen, hundreds of people put their life at risk.

“I wanted the scale (of Dilwale) to be much much bigger this time. I created a team where I had my stunt drivers, my stunt team, the Bulgarian team, the South African team.. they all came together for Dilwale. That’s how it all started”

“To bring my vision to the big screen, 150-200 people put their life at risk. Before every shot, there are two sounds. One of the ambulance starting and the other is fire brigade. If there is some mishap, they will reach there to save that man.. I want to show that.”

“People ask me quite often.. why do you blow up cars so often. It is sad. I used to get angry and feel sad. What my entire team goes through, no one thinks about that. It is very sad..”

“It’s not like we purchase the car, make a person sit inside and blow it up.. We work on the car, day and night, to prepare it for the scene. We prepare it so that, the stunt man who sits inside the car, his life is in risk. Anything can happen to him.. ”

“When you have your people.. all you need is support from him (god). I just tell him.. see to it that everything goes right. I have done my bit, you take care of the rest.. he always takes care of me and my stunt team”

For the rest of the video, several unimaginably dangerous scenes are shown. Rohit gets emotional as he talks about his stuntman getting his 2 year old son to the sets of the film..  before performing a car stunt that puts his life at risk.

  • Aftr cing the stunning new BM trailer…i think Mastani wil b a superb! film…garbagewaale luks like a diffrnt version of humshakals

  • Dilwale everyday looks different. Have nothing against Srk except his fans most times. Had we all lived in harmony without egos and pride including arrogancy then all the Khans pre releases would make us storm the cinema and not praying for one of their movie to sink day 1 but again it’s hard no? Look Aamir Salman Shah Rukh are trend setters. At their age what they are still doing is out of the world. All above 50 but still ruling. After seeing Shah Rukh my respect grew a little more because. Dangal Sultan Fan Raees will Rock. from a honest Salman fan from Moscow.

  • Indicine I love your site. We are many over here that frequently tune into your site. Enjoy the fan wars but later still go to bed knowing all of them can’.t be equal but are all Bollywood Hottest properties till date.
    @Ved. interesting statistics for Rohit Didn’t know. I love Him both as film maker and as a person. Surprisingly all his clashes he won was with Mr Akshay kumar
    All the best beat Blue
    Golmaal 3 beat Action replay
    Channel express beat Ouatimd. may be that’s why their fans are always seen as ladybugs. So much hatred for King and Singham.;-)

  • Just one word: CRAP. this mindless mediocre movie wont earn half of pk. This is probably the worst Christmas without megastar aamir khan.

  • Anand_The Original : what is this Deshdrohi deshdrohi you are yelling everywhere… Get over it! What Deshdroh ur talking about??
    and indicine please don’t approve these comments. Please

  • @anand the original kuss mother ….!!!
    doesn’t matter how hard u try to bring srk down ,he will give u consecutive slaps ..
    just wait after Christmas u idiot….!!!!

  • Ha ha ha, so many 2011 born actor’s fan are barking here like dogs after recent debacle prdp..

    @SUSH this is 1992- onwards ruling megastar shahrukh khan’s movie not some 2011 born actor’s movie. Better pray for lultan weather it will survive in front of raees.

    @Anand the original auto, dilwale will crush manipulated prdp and Sick within 10 days. Dilwale will cross 250 Cr with clash and if BM receives negative response, then all records in danger including BB. Wait and watch out you auto drivers. This is not some 2011 born actor’s movie which only chases records.

  • rohit if u have dare then make movies like fast n furious k, dnt blow cars jst like toys n dnt put 200 lives in danger 4 dis bullshit car scenes, u jst make comedy movies n leave srk, otherwise ur career will b ruined

  • Evn dilwale doesnt brake any record…but still it will touch da audience…
    Nd rohit dhetty is such a great person hates off to him..love to be srkians.

  • @Fake, it’s just nothing but the results of anti-nátional acts committed by your icon. And ask your mates @XZone and others to stop Salman a criminal. I will stop calling him a Deshdrohi although it is a proven fact.

    @Pakistani Javed, since you are a Pakistani, no doubt you will support his anti-Indian acts. But I don’t think your mother has given you a good upbringing. Else, you would not be scolding here, Kuss Muv, Kuss Omak.. Get lost..

    @Rice Bikhariwala, Challenge accepted. Don’t go and hide in the red holes if it (multistarrer garagewaale) fails to beat Kick.

  • Isn’t Rohit dashing? I trust Rohit. For those who use to think his movies are nothing but flying cars with computer graphics here you go. From actors to stuntmen they always give their best in doing these difficult moves. Quite impressed with Shah Rukh thought only Ajay suits these high level of raw +hi tech action stunts. Anyways for once I never doubted Srk action ability he is a real man never scared as you can see from the video clip. Dilwale is a must watch this December. Respect once more Action Genius Rohit Shetty.

  • Have seen some interviews of Rohit shetty and trust me he is such a very humble and down to earth personality. Doesn’t talk about too much about his films but never gives you fake hope. His work and his words both match the audience expectation and Rohit will be biggest reason if Dilwale scores unexpectedly despite of clash. As you need Raju hirani, rohit shetty or Kabir Khan behind the camera for movies like 3i,pk,CE and BB.
    Best of luck to Dilwale and big salute to all the stuntsman for their hard work.
    Thanks RCE to post the video.

  • Srk spoke upon intolerance then he is a pakistani.
    And lallu supportinng yakub and crushing people on footpath is a true indian.

  • @anand, doesn’t matter where I am from !
    Ur saying all this becoz ur a criminal fan ..
    do not worry the time will come when bhai goes to the most pitiful situation and no one is gonna support him by then…!!!
    Try as much as u can dilwale will blacken ur face and will easily cross 250 crore
    just because a few idiots like u have started to screw themselves doesn’t mean everyone will not watch dilwale…….!!!!
    I want to see such of hater in real world trust me then u can come to know my anger towards such types of people !!!!

  • The best action director of today era …

    No one compit him for action..

    And rohit and srk..big and best combo…

    Love u srk….the Don..

  • @sky, thank u bhaya……!!!
    trust me I don’t hate aamir I have great respect for the ace of bollywood but some of his fans keep bashing srk without any reason…… that’s why I had always to bash aamir….. !!!!
    appreciate ur comments thanks from a crazy srk fan

  • @Anandi the fake, it’s not a challenge. it’s a warning. you better don’t hide anywhere after the hurricane called dilwale which will easily cross 250 crores.

  • @Raees Rice wala : Do you know the story of ‘Charlie coming with 300 crs storm in Diwali 2014’ ?? If you had heard you wouldnt have dare to say this !!!!!!!!!!!!! Lol

  • @Javed : You have been barking same thing since start of this years that 2015 will end Salman’s career. What happened ?? Jiske saath Khuda aur dua hoti hai uska koi bal bhi baaka nahi kar sakta. First BB and then PRDP and now clash with Dilwale proves your every prediction is going down the sewage drain !!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Too much fun !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Hats off the stuntmen who put their lives on line to Entertain us !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But Rohit needs to do something different rather being a ‘Car crash fetish’ !!!!!!!!!!!

  • Rohit Shetty uses all Duplicates for the action sequences. But SRK gets the credit. The credit should be given to duplicates for doing good stunts not Rohit shetty or Hakla.

  • @hrithik I never predicted 300 Cr for happy new year because I knew that its a typical Farah khan’s movie and she is arguably the worst director in the country, so I cant be that foolish to expect 300 Cr from her, it might be some other moron fan of srk, but I never predicted 300 Cr. But this time I am super confident that dilwale will cross 250 Cr because this time dilwale has everything from the biggest megastar srk to the best entertaining director Rohit shetty to best iconic pair of srk-kajol and the youth icon varun dhawan and the competition doesnt have a superstar so dilwale is the hottest property choice for viewrs and i am damn sure that BM will need extremely great reviews and WOM to survive against the hurricane called dilwale, so I don’t need to worry, even in worst case it will stop cross 240 Cr. And one more thing, the past history also speaks whenever rohit shetty faced clash with superstar akshay Kumar, still rohit’s film became blockbuster then just imagine what would happen when rohit will clash with a small star like ranveer Singh’s boring war film and this time with srk who is the undisputed clash king, so just think about that. Dilwale will surely break kick’s record.
