Rohit Shetty: From Golmaal To Simmba; Secrets That Made Him The King Of Masses!

Rohit Shetty is the king of action and commercial cinema. There is no doubt that the audiences like me are always enticed when I see a Shetty film like Golmaal or Singham with a tub of popcorn at Gaiety Galaxy Cinema. This is because he is flashy, experimental and flamboyant.

His first film Zameen(2001) for which he was a scriptwriter didn’t do well at the box office. It was during this time that he met Ajay Devgn with whom he was an associate in ‘Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha’, and ‘Raju Chacha’. He has learned the crux of commercial filmmaking post the failure of his first film. What is the true story behind Rohit’s glamour of making his audiences do the “Aankh Maarey” to his films? let’s go through the reasons:

Golmaal

Ajay Devgn had been very supportive for Shetty during the making of Golmaal. The idea was narrated by Neeraj Vora. He became a household name with this biggie. The Bollywood hitmaker cracked the Rohit Shetty formula with these films. People believed with Golmaal 3, that Shetty as an action director could really make brilliant comedy films. Also, the amalgamation of Tusshar Kapoor, Shreyas Talpade and Arshad Warsi with Devgn created magic at the box office. With Golmaal franchise, the audiences built a strong connection with Shetty.

Audience interest is the supreme power

Shetty is also known to cater to the taste of the audiences. His masala entertainers see the protagonist smashing the villain on the head. Also to add, no film of his is complete without the *Seethi-Maar* dialogues. “Aata maajhi satakli re!” from Singham Franchise is still remembered fondly even today because of Devgn and Kajal Aggarwal. Ranveer Singh as Simmba took the box office by storm by collecting 240.22 Crores. Relevant issues related to society were shown in these films. In this film, he has tried to show the subject of rape cases which is quite relevant in India. The film was much appreciated by the class and mass audiences.
