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."
