Rohit Shetty on changing ‘Dilwale’ script for SRK-Kajol

Filmmaker Rohit Shetty has admitted he tweaked the original script of ‘Dilwale’ to cater for the fans of Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol.

In a frank interview with Komal Nahta, Shetty spoke about the underwhelming response ‘Dilwale’ received at the box office last Christmas.

He said, “Dilwale is the only film I have made without conviction, yet. I got intimidated by the need to cater to Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol’s massive fan following. The initial film was to be a tri-hero project about three brothers and Kajol’s track was to be of a mere four to five scenes. This change was also by my own willful voluntariness. We went wrong with it, in the process.

He added, “Critics, friends and others would come to meet me and tell me that they’d gone to the theatre to watch my brand of film, which wasn’t what they saw.”
