Rohit Dhawan on the success of ‘Dishoom’

Rohit Dhawan, brother of Varun Dhawan, and director of movie ‘Dishoom’

(2016) expressed his happiness on success of the movie.

According to��Times of India, Dhawan said,”I can’t talk about the numbers, but I was expecting 100% positive feedback. Movies like these are not made too often in India. It is a western genre. The film has a fresh narrative with regard to the screenplay and how the events unfold. Our intention was to make a fresh masala film. And I strongly believe that we have achieved that. We are used to watching those regular,��over-the-top Hindi masala films. But in ‘Dishoom’ (2016), you can believe every character”.

The director added that he takes his own time during work. When he was questioned about his plans for ‘Dishoom’ (2016) sequel, he said,”There is no fixed plan. I’m not the most ambitious person. When I’m making a film, I’m ambitious about getting it right; I want the movie to reach the maximum number of people. But I take my own time. I’m a bit lazy. I like watching movies and reading. I have a bunch of boys that I hang out with. My wife tends to complain a lot about that. I have dreams, but I’m not someone who chases them immediately. My dad (David Dhawan) and I are poles apart. He is a rare and gifted film-maker. I’ve always maintained that you don’t choose movies, movies choose you, when you are born in a film family. The same was the case with me and Varun. You can’t avoid comparisons when you have a famous father who has had such a successful career“.

‘Dishoom’ is a 2016 Indian action-adventure film written and directed by Dhawan starring John Abraham, Jacqueline Fernandez and his brother Varun.
