Rohit Shetty interested in what new generation is making

Rohit Shetty, known for directing commercial films like "Chennai Express" and "Golmaal - Fun Unlimited" series, says he keeps tab on the new breed of filmmakers.

"I want to know what the new generation is making and which is being appreciated by the audience. I keep a tab on new filmmakers and they are doing a great job. I recently watched '2 States' on DVD," said Shetty, who is currently busy promoting "Singham Returns".

He says Kareena has an important role in the film that also stars Ajay Devgn.

"Though 'Singham' is about Ajay; Kareena is also playing a key role in the film. It's not that we have roped her for five songs and all. She has an equally important role in the film," said the director.

"If I come across a good script, I would love to make a lady 'Singham' with Kareena," he added.

"Singham Returns", which releases Aug 15, is co-produced by Ajay Devgn Films, Rohit Shetty Productions and Reliance Entertainment.
