I have fear of experimenting: Rohit Shetty

Rohit Shetty has found the right recipe for entertaining the audience -- by making grand, massy films -- and doesn't want to meddle with it by trying something small as he "fears to experiment".

Known for his flamboyant style of over-the-top comedy and action, Rohit says it would be unfair if tomorrow he decides to make a smaller film "just to prove a point".

"There is a fear of experimenting. I don't want to cheat my audience. When they come for my films, they know there will be songs, 'dialogue baazi', action, comedy. Tomorrow, if I make a small film just to prove my point, I don't want them to feel 'Oh we didn't spend the money to see this'. I am just worried about that," Rohit told PTI.

The man behind hits like "Golmaal" and "Singham" franchise, adds, "I know if I make a small film it will not be that successful or grand, which is fine, but I don't want anyone to get misguided and spend the money on me."
"This is the most difficult genre to make. Great film shot in a room is easier but a mass film shot on a road, with 1800-2000 people shooting action is a lot of hardwork. It is sad that commercial cinema is looked down upon. A lot of hardwork goes into it."
"People used to say, 'He has taken an action hero, he himself is an action director and they are making a comedy which will be a disaster'. When 'Golmaal' released, life changed. The whole fear of failure went away from me by a large sense."
