Rohit Shetty has mastered every genre, whether it be comedy, romance, or action, with ease. He began his career as an assistant director and stunt director before directing his debut movie, Zameen, in 2003. In September, Rohit will complete 20 years as a director and, according to him, 30 years overall in the business. The director is now filming Indian Police Force, his first web series with Sidharth Malhotra playing the lead. Along with Ajay Devgn, he plans to resume his Singham franchise. The pre-production will soon begin. Khatron Ke Khiladi is currently airing, and we still have a few days of filming left for the Indian Police Force.

At the same time, Singham Again is already being prepared. People will quickly learn about it. Rohit Shetty reflected on his 20-year journey and said it had been "magical." He added that despite experiencing ups and downs, he never lost sight of the importance of being honest. "When I travel back in time, my first movie wasn't a success, created the second one (Golmaal), which gained popularity. I produced an action movie that gained cult status, and then out of nowhere, the reality show Khatron Ke Khiladi—previously hosted by stars Priyanka Chopra and Akshay Kumar—came my way.

Although I had no idea how the people would react, everything ended up working out for me. What more could I possibly want? He revealed. However, I must say one thing, whatever I did, I did it completely honestly, the filmmaker continued. Although you must work hard, you must also be sincere in your work. Whatever the outcome—success or failure—honesty should always remain intact. Apart from Zameen, Sunday, and the typical All The Best, Rohit hasn't experienced many failures in his career. Cirkus, his family comedy starring Ranveer Singh in a dual role, managed to end his winning streak.

When questioned about his biggest learning because it is true that one learns more from their failures than their accomplishments. He laughed, don’t try that thing again. According to Rohit Shetty, while one is working hard, mistakes can happen. "There isn't just one thing that goes wrong in a movie that makes it bad. The entire movie is terrible. When something succeeds, everyone will discuss what went well, and when something fails, what went wrong. But nowadays, one can usually tell what is good and wrong. I've always believed that in order to be successful, you must also accept your shortcomings.

You can't hold them accountable. I don't think it's okay to escape since I want to work hard while I'm here. I do not wish to run away from failures. Rohit Shetty said with a smile that they were a little disturbed, but just for two days as we pondered his coping strategy in the wake of Cirkus' box office flop. "Because you have so many other things to do in your mind because of your culture. The entire team returned to work within just two days. We actually flew to Hyderabad to film for the web show in approximately a week. Rohit Shetty, who is returning as a host on Khatron Ke Khiladi 13, recently tweeted a video declaring 'breaking some laws of action' with the program.

Being over the top, he responded when questioned about the regulations he had broken in his career as a director. The audience has, in my opinion, been incredibly understanding of the type of work we undertake. The majority of the time, they have enjoyed the excess. I believe that I have never followed the rules. Finally, talking about his future intentions for an all-star season of KKK with a few Bollywood celebrities, he said with a chuckle, nobody will provide me with the dates. They would suggest that you make a movie with me in those 50 days.
