Director Rohit Shetty, who unveiled the trailer of his much-awaited Golmaal Again in Mumbai on Friday, said he had good reason to take his time with its story.
Asked why it took him seven years to make the fourth Golmaal film, Shetty said: “We were waiting for the right story. We didn’t want to cheat the audience with a bad story under the Golmaal brand. So we worked hard to crack this story and when it finally happened, we made the film.”
The trailer launch event was attended by Ajay Devgn, Tabu, Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, Shreyas Talpade, Kunal Kemmu, Parineeti Chopra and Prakash Raj.
With very few films being box office successes these days, there are few comedy commercial films being made and only a few directors who dabble in the genre.
Shetty joked: “Why do you want to increase my competition? It’s good that there are very few like Sajid-Farhad, myself and David Dhawan [making thee movies]. We are enough.”
Actor Arshad Warsi, who is familiar with the funny genre said: “The fact is that it’s not easy to make comedy films. And that’s the truth. A lot of people attempt it and fail miserably. Very few have managed to make good comedy films. It’s not easy to write it ... Everyone thinks if you can crack a few jokes, you can write a comedy film. But it’s quite the opposite.”
Golmaal Again will release on October 19 in India.
