Rohit Shetty Shuts Down A Journalist For Questioning The Casting Of The Villain In Sooryavanshi

Mumbai, November 15 - Filmmaker Rohit Shetty having an interview tour over the super success of his recently released, "Sooryavanshi", which he held back for more than 18 months to give a theatrical release. The Akshay Kumar-fronted cop-drama is very well accepted by the audiences and everyone has nice things to say about this film. ## However, despite all the love and positive word of mouth from the audiences of every type, there is a certain media group that has been questioning the casting of the villain of a Muslim outfit in the film. In a recent interview with The Quint (via opindia), the journalist pointed out that the 'good Muslim' and 'bad Muslim' scenario in the film is problematic.## Rohit Shetty, however, countered the question with a befitting reply and asked the journalist why no one had a problem when he cast Hindu villains in his previous three cop films. He questioned why the Hindu villains from the previous films were not objected to because of their caste. ## "If I ask you one question... Jaikant Shikre (in Singham) was a Hindu Marathi. Then a second film came where a Hindu godman was there. Then in Simmba, Durva Ranade was a Maharashtrian again. In these three, negative forces were Hindu, why isn't that a problem?" Shetty countered. ## He went on to say when the journalist tried to counter his remarks, "If there is a terrorist who is from Pakistan, what caste will he be?" Shetty said that such controversies had changed his point of view about many journalists. He said, "It changed my point of view of a few journalists whom I used to like. That oh, they are portraying it like I have seen in brackets somebody writing bad Muslims being preached by upper-caste Hindus, which is very wrong. We never thought that way".## The basic plot of "Sooryavanshi" is about Pakistani terrorists plotting more attacks in India after the 1993 Mumbai blasts, and the hero's efforts to stop them. Shetty's cop films have always been centered around celebrating Police for the good work they are doing on the line of duty. When The Quint journalist asked Shetty about his point of view on Police brutality, Shetty said, "Whoever asks me about my viewpoint on Police brutality, I only ask them to shut down Police headquarters for one day. You dial 100, and there is no one to answer".## Stay tuned...

Rohit Shetty's Next In Cop Universe, Singham 3 To Be Set Against The Backdrop Of Article 370 In Kashmir?

Mumbai, November 11 - Filmmaker Rohit Shetty has set the bar a notch higher with each of the films in his cop universe, which had begun with Ajay Devgn-fronted "Singham" in 2011. Akshay Kumar-starrer "Sooryavanshi", which was released on November 5, is the latest film in Shetty's cop world and with this, he has maintained his hit status. ## The maverick director will once again be back to give the third installment of the Singham franchise, and with this, he aims to take his cop franchise to the next level. The last Singham film, "Singham Returns", was released in 2014, and since then, there were rumors of the third part but it wasn't made official. ## While Shetty hasn't announced "Singham 3" officially yet, it was revealed that after the release of Sooryavanshi, the filmmaker has locked the plans for the third Singham installment. The movie will kick off where Sooryavanshi ended, and according to reports, Ajay Devgn will be up against terrorists in the film and it will reportedly be set against the backdrop of the removal of Article 370 in Jammu & Kashmir. ## Reports have also stated that the draft is still in progress and the makers are all set to take the project on floors next year in September after Ajay Devgn completes his ongoing projects. The buzz around the development is that it will be shot in the real locations of Kashmir apart from Delhi, and Goa in a quick span. ## The makers have reportedly set the Independence Day 2023 big screen release date of the film. Meanwhile, Shetty is currently working on Ranveer Singh-starrer "Cirkus". It is Shetty's first comedy film outside the Golmaal franchise. It has been planned to release on Diwali next year. ## Stay tuned...
