FLIPPING CARS WITH BLAZING STARS
From being a filmy young boy who started his journey at age 16 to being known as “Ye voi jo gaadia udata hai”, Rohit Shetty’s journey as one of Bollywood’s most successful directors has been nothing short of magical. In a candid interview with Exhibit Magazine, Rohit unveils his lesser-known side, as well as a first-hand insight into the world behind his lens.

YOU LOVE POWERFUL MACHINES THAT TEAR UP THE ROAD, AND YOU ARE UNSTOPPABLE JUST LIKE THE JEEP. HOW HAS BEEN YOUR JOURNEY?

My journey has been, I would say, adventurous. It was quite a filmy like a boy who starts his journey at 16 and has seen a lot in life. Dad is one of the finest action directors of his time, and I wanted to be like him, so I started doing car stunts at the age of 18. All I ever wanted to be was an action director, so I started with it, and I got to work with Ajay’s father, a renowned action director. I learnt a lot from him, and then I was working as an assistant director. Gradually, it started with being an action director and then every other thing happened with the flow. Before working as an AD, Ajay, with whom I was working started his production. Then came a turn in my life where he said now you direct a film now and that how everything happened. That’s why you see in all my movies that cars blow up and action scenes because the action director is still there inside me.

YOU’VE HAD A LONG HISTORY WITH CARS. YOU’VE DRIVEN THEM, BLOWN THEM APART, SEND THEM HUNDREDS OF FEET IN THE AIR. WHICH MOMENT IS YOUR FAVOURITE ONE AMONG THEM?
