Is Rohit Shetty SCARED Of Aamir Khan’s Secret Superstar? Golmaal Again Is My COSTLIEST Film, He Says

Superstar.

Frankly we don’t think we should brood too much over the
clash because we have two very different films from diverse genres at the
box-office. Having said that, in his interview with DNA, Rohit does acknowledge
that there’s a lot at stake with Golmaal Again.
Firstly, it’s Aamir Khan he’s worried about. Does Aamir
Khan’s constant success ratio scare him? It should, considering Aamir is known
to pull a rabbit out of the hat. Secret Superstar has had two special
screenings and Bollywood can’t stop raving about the movie. And Golmaal Again?
Reports about the movie are yet to trickle in.

Secondly, it’s the moneys. Golmaal Again is Rohit’s costliest
film. “This is the costliest film I have made. Costlier than Chennai Express
and Singham Returns. If you see the film, the grandness and scale and how we
have shot, CGI, you will realise that,” says the filmmaker.
He admits that he has pulled out all stops this time, “The
budget of Golmaal Again is almost double of Golmaal 3.”

Thirdly, it’s the tepid response to his last film Dilwale,
yet another Diwali release. Even Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol’s magical casting
couldn’t rescue that sinking ship. Admitting to the failure he says, “During
Dilwale, I was scared because I had gone off track, away from the script and
away from my audience and catering to Shah Rukh-Kajol audience.”
But this time the ace director knows who his audience is and
he is certain they will be satisfied. "I do not know how big it(Golmaal
Again) will be and whether it will be a blockbuster, but the audience will come
out satisfied, that’s for sure," says the filmmaker.
