Don't make sequels to cash in on title, says Rohit Shetty!

An Indian filmmaker Rohit Shetty is very well known for his successful Bollywood franchises like ‘Golmaal’ and ‘Singham’ and he feels that makers of the movie should not venture into making sequels just because their movie does well. The most important thing is to find a right story.

Today, Rohit Shetty along with his team gathered at the Jio MAMI Movie Mela for the discussion. At the Movie mela, Rohit talked about the feasibility of sequels. He said that it totally depends on the audience and the makers cannot make the sequel just because the first movie had done so well. Nowadays the sequels of the movie are made after twenty years. He meant that the sequels are made of the movies which were made even before he was born.

He believes that the movie should do well on satellite and on television and once if the audience appreciated the movie after the month of its release only then one can think of making a sequel out of it and that too even if you are getting the right story and not just to cash in on a title.

All the actors from the movie are a part of the panel discussion. The movie features Ajay Devgn, Tabu, Parineeti Chopra, Arshad Warsi, Tushar Kapoor, Kunal Kemmu, Shreyas Talpade in the lead role and Nitin Mukesh in supporting roles.

Actor Arshad Warsi was also a part of the famous ‘Munna Bhai’ franchise. He also shared his opinions of the sequel he said that if the characters are liked that you can actually make a sequel out of it. You can not make the sequel out of a good movie however, he said that you just can not make the sequel out of the blockbuster hit movie ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’, which was a very good film, but if we talk about the movie Golmaal we can actually make a sequel to it because everyone knows the characters.

They have even made the sequel of the movie ‘Munna Bhai’ because the audience was aware of all the characters in the movie. In the movie ‘Munna Bhai MBBS’, Arshad Warsi played the role of Circuit. The movie also features Sanjay Dutt and Vidya Balan.

About the movie, Ajay Devgn said that when they all started the movie ‘Golmaal’ they did not know that they will make a sequel of the movie. But he said that once the movie started showing satellite value and they all were very much sure that the people want the sequel that is how the second sequel of the movie ‘Golmaal’ was made. Then the second installment of the movie worked really well then they all decided to make the third and even third sequel was a great hit and now Rohit Shetty is coming up with the fourth sequel. Rohit has even hinted at the possibility of the fifth installment of the Golmaal franchise. He was just waiting for that how people will respond and react on the fourth sequel of the Golmaal franchise.
