40 Quotes by Rohit Shetty

I know my audience, and they, in turn, know my cinema. When I pick a subject, it's for a family audience. I shoot and edit my films keeping them in mind. I'm dead sure about the product that bears my name.

My audience loves seeing me pump large amounts of money into action and sets. And it works. I'm not saying that films made within a budget are wrong. But when audiences come to see my film with their families, I guess they are spending at least 10 per cent of their monthly income. I don't want to cheat them.

Working out is a healthy habit: it helps you stay light and energetic. At least, that is how it works for me, and over the years it has been one of my greatest passions.

Earning money is not a sin, and the bottom line is growth.

By nature, I am a low-key person and like being behind the camera.

I was keen to direct an action film, and when Reliance approached me for the remake of Singham, I saw an opportunity to return to my first love.

My grandmother and both my parents worked in Bollywood.
