Rohit Shetty: I dont want to make an offbeat film; Im happy making people laugh Director Rohit Shetty, known for making commercial masala entertainer films, says he does not want to make a serious offbeat film as he is happy making people laugh. The Golmaal series director said he is no mood to experiment. No director wants to make a flop film. Also, it is not necessary that all commercial will do well. I should feel like doing something different from within, as of now, I dont like making an offbeat film. I am happy making people laugh, Rohit said in an interview here. He also added that he is happy with success of Salman Khans latest release Kick and does not see it as competition. Today, you have Rs 100 crore club instead of silver and golden jubilee. Box office has always been very important for directors, he said. The Chennai Express director said he is happy on success of Salman Khans latest release Kick and does not see other films success as a competition. We all make films for audiences to enjoy. So, if a film does a good business, I dont see it as competition, he added. On his long term association with popular Golmaal series and now taking Singham as a franchise film, Rohit said he has tried making films of different genres like comedy and action. It is not that we only want to make Golmaal and Singham series films. I was making comedy films for some time and then I thought of trying an action one, and we came up with Singham, Rohit said. Rohits last directorial venture, a romantic-comedy Chennai Express with Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone, had set the cash registers ringing, making Rs 200 crore business. Ask him if he is willing to try different genres such as thriller, horror or a biopic film, he said, There are no plans as of now... There is no particular subject or person in my mind for a biopic. Sticking to his trademark mass entertainers, the 41-year-old director is all excited about his next release Singham Returns with Ajay Devgn reprising the role of a cop. When we were making Singham, we did not think it will become such a huge brand. We are happy everyone loved it, but there are no plans as of now for the third instalment. It all depends on how this (Singham Returns) works, Rohit said. Singham Returns also starring Kareena Kapoor releases on August 15.
