Shah Rukh Khan and Rohit Shetty did
wonders at the box office with their first
collaboration, Chennai Express in the year
2013. Rohit again directed SRK in Dilwale in
2015, but it did not create that magic which
Chennai Express did.
During an interaction with us, when Rohit
was asked about a comedy film which he
would like to remake, to which he stated, "I
already have the rights of Angoor. I don't
know when will I get to make it."
Now as per reports in a leading daily, Rohit
and SRK are keen on recreating Angoor on
the big screen. When asked about the same,
he said, "If you give SRK (a film like) Angoor,
he will make it into a watermelon! It's a very
sweet story. But when we try to make a
simple film bigger, its essence and
sweetness diminishes and it goes into
another zone. I can go to a hill station, and
make a film like Angoor in two months and
come back. But I'm still wondering if I want
to make a film on that scale or not."
Rohit was further asked about making
movies which are larger than life. He replied,
"When we were kids, we looked up to
filmmakers like Vijay Anand and Manmohan
Desai. Later, when we worked as assistant
directors, we were inspired by filmmakers
like Mukul S Anand. Back then, they didn't
have big budgets but even then they made
grand films. Now we have the budgets and
technical advantage, but strangely, fewer
grand films. My schooling in movies comes
from films of those days. So for me, cinema
is 70mm, larger than life. When someone
sees a film in theaters, it should be a big
cinematic experience."
Well said!
Meanwhile, Rohit's next directorial is
Simmba starring Ranveer Singh in the titular
role and co-produced by Karan Johar. The
film is the remake of Telugu film Temper and
will release on December 28, 2018.
