Shahrukh Khan’s Chennai Express has undoubtedly broken all past records of Bollywood. A humble actor that he is, Shahrukh recently credited the film’s dhamakedaar success to Rohit Shetty, the director of the film, and also wished Shetty the very best for his next project Singham 2.
Shahrukh Khan said that he sincerely wished Singham 2 surpasses the box office success of Chennai Express.
A sequel to 2011 superhit flick Singham, “Singham 2” will see Ajay Devgn reprise the role of Bajirao Singham. The first one had crossed Rs.100 crore mark.
“I would pray that Inshallah his (Rohit Shetty) next ‘Singham 2’ does much more business than ‘Chennai Express’ because he deserves it,” Shah Rukh said here in an interview.
Talking about Chennai Express, and thanking his director Rohit Shetty, Shahrukh Khan said, “Being a director is a very lonely job. So you don’t just thank them, you just stand by them. For the film also, as an actor, and as a friend we all tried to stand by him (Shetty)….”
SRK’s Red Chillies Entertainment co-produced “Chennai Express” with UTV Motion Pictures.
He added that “the goodness” that Rohit Shetty brought into the film has benefited everyone – him, his co-star Deepika Padukone and Disney UTV. “So we all are very very thrilled and we would like to stand by him, wherever he is as a director,” he added.
