'Both are very hardworking': Rohit Shetty talks about Shah Rukh Khan and Ajay Devgn's working patternsAuthor : AZIndia News Desk
Rohit Shetty has worked with major superstars of the country and delivered hits with them. The ace filmmaker started off his journey as a director in the year 2003 with the film Zameen. Soon after that, he directed several blockbusters namely Golmaal: Fun Unlimited, Golmaal Returns, Golmaal 3, Singham, Bol Bachchan, Chennai Express, Singham Returns, Golmaal Again and the latest being Simmba. Rohit is all set to direct Akshay Kumar for the first time in his upcoming directorial Sooryavanshi.
At the recently concluded International Film Festival of India (IFFI) held in Goa, Shetty was asked about working with both Ajay Devgn and Shah Rukh Khan. He stated, "Their working pattern is the same. Both are very hard working. I have never seen a day when Shah Rukh or Ranveer (Singh) or Ajay come on set and say that they are tired. You will see them sitting in one corner and rehearsing their lines. Where they are today is because of the sincerity towards their work, and because they never took for granted the notion that they are stars."
Rohit went on to share, "I have done so many films with Ajay, but even today when he has a long scene or a dramatic scene or an emotional scene, you will see him rehearsing with my assistant director. The same goes with Shah Rukh."
Talking about Ranveer, the filmmaker said, "He always said ‘I am your hero. I was born to do your film’. That was three years ago. We had done an ad together, too. I had told him that whenever I will get the right script, we will do a film together."
He concluded by saying, "He has so much energy, you need to channel it in the right way. That’s what happened in Simmba. He enjoyed the film more than anything. He is a mad guy and very sincere about work. He even made a T-shirt that read: ‘Rohit Shetty ka hero’. He is a superstar."
