Singham Again’s Ramayana references: Rohit Shetty says a scene like Dharmendra pretending to be Lord Shiva in Sholay impossible today

Only in Express | Bigg Boss 18 evicted contestant Arfeen Khan says he started praying 5 times a day on the show: ‘I haven’t done this in years’

Rohit further commented that in today’s environment, he can’t create a character like Laxman Chopra (Shreyas Talpade) from the Golmaal series, who stammers, without being accused of mocking a person with a disability. “If I were to make the (Golmaal) movies today, I will get trolled saying I am making fun of stammering. That’s the difference (between then and now). Even if that’s not the intention… he is one among the heroes in the film. Now we are very scared and judgemental. We have to constantly speculate as to if people will get offended about something or not. The Golmaal movies have a cult following now and we are not laughing at that person but the situations he has found himself in. Nonetheless, if the movie were to release today, I would definitely face trolling,” he pointed out.

Starring Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, Sanjay Mishra, Vrajesh Hirjee, and Mukesh Tiwari in key roles, Rohit has directed four Golmaal films — Golmaal: Fun Unlimited (2006), Golmaal Returns (2008), Golmaal 3 (2010), and Golmaal Again (2017). In 2022, the director made Cirkus, starring Ranveer Singh, Pooja Hegde, and Jacqueline Fernandez, which serves as a prequel spin-off to the Golmaal films.
