Rohit Shetty recently gave his opinion about Sooryavanshi’s box-office collection reaching to 200 crores. He quoted (interview to Pinkvilla) “If the intent was money, I would have given it to OTT and earned 10 times more “. Fans couldn’t agree more with this as the movie opened well and both critics and viewers gave thumbs up to the masala entertainer.
Director’s career graph has been so impressive by having more than 10 superhits in his kitty. His upcoming projects are Cirkus (Ranveer Singh) and Singhm 3 (Ajay Devgn). Rohit Shetty further discussed the box-office evaluation of Sooryavanshi, and pointed out that regardless of pandemic issues, the movie was able to pull crowds towards the theatre. Even he admitted that although Sooryavanshi opened with 50% occupancy, it went on to score near to 200 crores. We couldn’t agree more with him as the movie had all the masala-entertainer contents. In a further revelation, he added “It might have done 300 crores if we had 100 percent occupancy. But I am happy because 10 years down the lane, people will remember Sooryavanshi as a film that opened the cinema halls for the Hindi film industry.
After a point of time, it was not about money. We all wanted to revive theatres. If the intent was money, I would have given it to OTT and earned 10 times more than what we did now.” About Cirkus, he added “Thanks to the pandemic, otherwise, this would have been my 17th film. Cirkus is one film that I always wanted to make and we started it during the
pandemic. Sooryavanshi was ready and we were waiting for the theatres to open But my technicians were at home and I wanted to restart the cycle for them.
Much like Sooryavanshi, Cirkus also has a history. It was the first film to get into the production stage. So many producers and directors visited our sets to see how we are shooting. This one is for my technicians.” In the end, he also stated, “We didn’t make a comedy film for a long time. After Golmaal Again, we moved on to Simmba and Sooryavanshi, so it was a collective instinct to make a comedy now, that too with Ranveer, since we had not done this genre. His presence made it even more exciting.”
Well, filmymojo team wishes all the best to Rohit Shetty and eagerly awaits his upcoming releases.
