It’s his birthday today, but blockbuster filmmaker Rohit Shetty has no time to count the bouquets that will arrive in huge numbers. Instead, he is buried neck-deep in the script of his next film Dilwale that is set to go on floors on March 20 in Mumbai.

Rohit confirms, “The film has Shah Rukh Khan with Kajol, Varun Dhawan, Kriti Sanon, Vinod Khanna, Kabir Bedi, Johny Lever and Varun (Choocha) Sharma. It is being made by Red Chillies Entertainment in association with Rohit Shetty Productions. It is not a remake of any film and will release this Christmas.”

His last two films ” Chennai Express with SRK and Singham Returns with Ajay Devgn ” brought in envious box-office numbers. Speaking of how with great success, comes even greater responsibility, Rohit adds, “Frankly, I never take my audience for granted. So, each time I launch a film, I work doubly hard.” Ask whether he has any birthday plans and he says, “Every birthday, I resolve to work more than the previous one. Work is my adrenaline and while I do enjoy spending time with family and going on personal holidays (laughs), work is what gives me that special something.”

As he literally juggles three meetings within his own office space, Rohit says, “For eight months, there has been too much speculation about Dilwale. Shah Rukh sir asked me to announce my star cast and start shooting without much ado. So now, please let me make my film the way I know best.”

After the blockbuster Chennai Express, it’s an unofficial remake of Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi for superstar Shah Rukh Khan and superstar-director Rohit Shetty.

The film, which goes on the floors in March, will star Shah Rukh Khan and Varun Dhawan as brothers.

A source in the know reveals, “The basic plot is like Satyen Bose’s Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi and also shades of Mukul Anand’s Hum. Shah Rukh’s role is a mix of Ashok Kumar in Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi and Bachchan Saab in Hum. Shah Rukh Khan plays the Ashok Kumar role of a seeming misogynist while Varun Dhawan playing the flirty sibling is just the opposite.

Like Kishore Kumar in Chalti Ka Gaadi, Varun Dhawan has a love interest, Kriti Sanon (who steps into, ahem, Madhubala’s role). Varun keeps teasing and challenging his brother about his lack of interest in women…until at mid-point in the plot it’s revealed that Shah Rukh had a woman in his life in the past, who deserted him. The experience left him shattered and disillusioned about love. This is where Kajol is supposed to come in.”

Apparently, Kajol is yet to give her nod, while the rest of the cast is all set. The untitled film begins shooting in March and will be released for Christmas this year.

Says the source, “The film’s main plot is like Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi. But the treatment would be like Rohit Shetty’s Golmaal series with many comic actors pitching in.”

Shah Rukh Khan and Rohit Shetty are all set to team up again after the huge success of ‘Chennai Express’.

According to a report in mid-day, Rohit Shetty has decided to remake Amitabh Bachchan’s hit film 90s film ‘Hum’. A source quoted to mid-day, that things are being finalised for the film and it will be a remake of Mukul Anand’s ‘Hum’.

According to the report, SRK will be seen playing Big B’s character in the film and for Govinda and Rajinikanth’s character Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra are being considered but nothing has been finalised yet.

Rohit Shetty has always entertained us with his films and he is back again taking the franchise several notches higher in every aspect of film making! His recent film ‘Singham Returns’ has won critical as well as audience acclaim.
A gripping story, high octane action, power packed performances by the cinema icons of the country and foot tapping music complemented with memorably cult dialogues makes Rohit Shetty’s films a hit.
