On a sunny Mumbai day, Rohit Shetty arrives to shoot with us. The filmmaker quickly exchanges a few greetings as he rushes into his vanity to get dressed. A couple of minutes later, he is already on the floor, letting the photographer direct him, shot after shot. He is truly a man of less words, more action.

Shetty is three decades old in the industry. Born into a family where he’s grown up seeing his father, MB Shetty, doing crazy stunts and action sequences, it was a natural progression. At a very young age of 17, Shetty found himself on the sets of Ajay Devgn’s debut film Phool Aur Kaante (1991).

He was working as an assistant director, but not for long. In 2003, he decided to direct films. Surprisingly, his first hit was not an action film. Golmaal became a cult classic, a film that has added four chapters since and is one of the most successful franchises in Bollywood.
