Rohit Shetty silent about movie cast

Mumbai: Filmmaker Rohit Shetty chose to keep mum when asked about the star-cast of his upcoming as yet untitled movie.

There were rumours that the Chennai Express director had roped in Bollywood’s most favourite on-screen couple Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol — who starred in Karan Arjun, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham and My Name Is Khan — for the project.

“We are yet to finalise the star-cast. Let everybody finish with their casting and what I am making, then we will come out with the official announcement. We are waiting for that to get over first,” Rohit told reporters.

The 41-year-old director recently wrapped up the shooting of his TV outing Khatron Ke Khiladi: Darr Ka Blockbuster Returns in Capetown, South Africa. This will be his second stint as a host on the stunt-based reality show.

When asked how he juggles between movies and other commitments, Rohit said, “It was just planned. We started planning about this show three-four months in advance and blocked our dates in a way that I am not shooting. [Then] we start a season after a film releases.”
