Rohit Shetty is an Indian director/cinematographer, born on March 14, 1974, in Mumbai. Rohit’s father was a master stuntman, M.B. Shetty, and his mother was a minor Bollywood actress, Ratna. When he was seventeen, Rohit started his career as an assistant director to Kuku Kohli in ‘Phool Aur Kaante’. He made his own directorial debut in 2003 with ‘Zameen’ starring Ajay Devgan. While his first film was not successful, Rohit’s next movies were very successful action comedies: ‘Golmaal: Fun Unlimited’ (2006), ‘Golmaal Returns’ (2008), and ‘Golmaal 3’ (2010). All starred Ajay Devgan. Ajay also starred in Rohit’s hits: ‘Singham’ (2011), ‘Singham Returns’ (2014), ‘Bol Bachchan’ (2012), and ‘Golmaal Again’, the highest-grossing film of 2017. Rohit also made two blockbusters with Shah Rukh Khan: ‘Chennai Express’ (2013), the fifth highest-grossing Hindi film ever, and ‘Dilwale’ (2015), the sixth highest-grossing Hindi film ever. In 2018, Rohit released the third film in Shetty’s Police Universe (the two Singham films are one and two). ‘Simmba’, starring Ranveer Singh and Sara Ali Khan, had mixed reviews but became the third highest-grossing film of 2018. Rohit released ‘Sooryavanshi’, on Diwali of 2021. Akshay Kumar starred as the head of an anti-terrorism squad. The release delayed because of coronavirus was the first major release from Hindi Cinema after the lockdown and became the highest-grossing Hindi film of that year. In the future, Rohit will be working on ‘Indian Police Force’ for Amazon Prime Video.

Ever since I was a little girl, I loved a good story. As an American, most of the movies I have watched were made in Hollywood. As I got older I lost interest in Hollywood movies and started watching Bollywood movies. Now I enjoy Tollywood, Kollywood, and Mollywood films as well.
