Rohit Dhawan: Movies choose you, when you are born into a film family

Even as the success of his last film 'Dishoom' is just beginning to sink in, Varun Dhawan's brother Rohit Dhawan says he is a lazy filmmaker. We say, the man is doing a damn good job at work, nevertheless. Talking about the feedback to his film, he told a daily, "I can't talk about the numbers, but I was expecting 100% positive feedback. Movies like these are not made too often in India. It is a western genre. The film has a fresh narrative with regard to the screenplay and how the events unfold. Our intention was to make a fresh masala film. And I strongly believe that we have achieved that. We are used to watching those regular, over-the-top Hindi masala films. But in

Dishoom

, you can believe every character."

He isn't laidback but the man surely takes his own times at his work. When asked if 'Dishoom' will turn into a series, he said, "There is no fixed plan. I'm not the most ambitious person. When I'm making a film, I'm ambitious about getting it right; I want the movie to reach the maximum number of people. But I take my own time. I'm a bit lazy. I like watching movies and reading. I have a bunch of boys that I hang out with. My wife tends to complain a lot about that. I have dreams, but I'm not someone who chases them immediately. My dad (David Dhawan) and I are poles apart. He is a rare and gifted film-maker. I've always maintained that you don't choose movies, movies choose you, when you are born in a film family. The same was the case with me and Varun. You can't avoid comparisons when you have a famous father who has had such a successful career."
