Ahmed Khan Is All Praise For Hit Machine Rohit Shetty

Ahmed Khan is a choreographer-turned-filmmaker, like Farah Khan and Remo D’Souza. He is currently in news for his upcoming directorial offering Baaghi 3, starring Tiger Shroff, Shraddha Kapoor, Riteish Deshmukh and Ankita Lokhande in important roles. Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala Entertainment, the action thriller hits the marquee on 6^th March, 2020.

When asked about his influences, Ahmed Khan does not waste a single second in mentioning the name of hit filmmaker Rohit Shetty. The director says that he loves the way Rohit Shetty shows his films. Giving an example of his immensely successful Golmaal franchise, Ahmed Khan says that though it is a comedy franchise, Rohit Shetty puts action in it.

He says that Rohit Shetty loves to catch the nerve of the audiences and serve them what they wish to watch, but smartly enough, slowly and gradually, he will start showing action. It is like, ‘If you want to watch comedy then watch it, but in it I will show you action too.’

However, Ahmed Khan goes on to add that a dance film may prove to be a challenging affair for the Simmba (2019) director. He says that making musical dance film, like how Subhash Ghai made mass hysteria films by engaging 200 dancers in his musically-bound films, will be challenging for Shetty. However, it will be a nice thing for him as he is a huge director.

Ahmed Khan says that he does not understand films in which a boy comes from Mathura and shows his journey. He is quick to add that he is not insinuating anything towards any films released lately, but he is just talking about films made in large scale with their heroes coming in high speed. Even women-oriented films like Chandini (1989) and ChaalBaaz (1989), he loves.

Rohit Shetty is next coming up with Sooryavanshi, starring Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif in lead roles. The actioner is scheduled to release on 24^th March 2020.
