Rohit Shetty to blow up SRKs new 4 Cr vanity van in Dilwale

Bollywood director and SUV-destroyer Rohit Shetty, has announced that he will raise the bar in his upcoming film Dilwale with Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan. The "Chennai Express" director has reportedly added a scene where King Khan's new vanity van, reportedly worth INR 4 crore, will leap high into the air before blowing up in spectacular Shetty fashion.

As Bollywood fans may know, Shetty's films are known for their actions scenes featuring cars and jeeps being blown up. So when it was time to discuss such a scene for Dilwale, the director decided that he wanted something much bigger this time.

"I'm aware that a lot of people watch my films for either Ajay Devgn or Shah Rukh Khan. But besides making movies with them, my own signature is the fact that at least a dozen jeeps and cars will blow up at some point or the other. In fact, I've heard that most of my fans wait for this scene and walk out of the theater right after, just like how Emraan Hashmi's fans walk out once the love-making scene is over. With Dilwale marking yet another SRK-Kajol reunion, the stakes are high this time and expectations have reached the skies. I cannot have a banal scene with a few random SUVs blowing up this time. I was thinking hard about how to make it bigger, and that's when SRK showed me his all-new swanky, glittering vanity van worth 4 crore," Shetty told The UnReal Times.

"Shooting this scene will be the most challenging thing I've ever done, even more daring than my stint at Khatron Ke Khiladi. We've got to get this scene right in one single take. Just imagining this stunning 4 Crore beast leaping up in the air gives me goosepimples. Ah! Just can't wait!" Shetty added.

Meanwhile, the Baadshah of Bollywood said that while he was disappointed that he will have to bid farewell to his vanity van so soon, he would do it since the script demands it. "Yeah, it is disappointing. But I'm sure that the prospect of this very scene is going to fetch 100 crore at the box office, so taking 4 crore from there and buying another bus won't be a problem. Bade bade deshon mein, aise choti choti baatein hoti rehti hai, senorita!" King Khan told our correspondent.
