Filmmaker Rohit Shetty is on a roll. He has many theatrical projects lined up his way, along with his OTT debut. Being one of the most-praised directors in the film industry, he delivers only hits back-to-back. Though he associated his name with many blockbuster cop films, long before he had made audiences laugh with his comic films, the 'Golmaal' franchise.
Now, in a recent conversation with Pinkvilla, the filmmaker unveiled his future projects and shed light on his 'Cop Universe' films and the much-loved 'Golmaal' franchise.
When asked about 'Golmaal 5' with the original cast, Rohit confirmed that the film could be his next after 'Singham Again.' The news excited all the fans of the comedy films. The director said, "'Golmaal 5' will happen for sure. Looking at the response, I will have to make it a little soon. I think you will get Golmaal 5 in the next 2 years." He added that the next film in the comedy franchise will be bigger than the rest, because of the shift in audiences, and what kind of content people wish to see.
“I think, cinema in today’s time has to be grand and bigger than the likes of 'All The Best' and 'Golmaal,' which I made back in the day. By big, I don’t mean action. I can’t add action in 'Golmaal,' but I can amp up the scale in the genre. There are so many fans of 'Golmaal,' and I am making this brand for the fans. The next 'Golmaal' film has to be bigger, and better though it’s a comedy franchise,” he added.
Continuing the conversation, he expressed his desire to direct a film that does not belong to his cop universe. He said that he feels "the need to make a film like 'Chennai Express.' If I crack a story which is good and grand, I will make a fresh film."
Meanwhile, the filmmaker is busy shooting for 'Singham Again.' For the upcoming action-fuelled film, he stated that it "is 10 times bigger than the first 'Singham.'" But for now, Rohit’s upcoming 'Indian Police Force' is slated for a release on January 19 on Amazon Prime Video, which marks his OTT debut. Speaking of that, he promised that the series "is almost as big as 'Sooryavanshi.'"
