Rohit Shetty: 'Simmba', 'Zero' clash would've affected box office numb

Shah Rukh Khan's Zero and Ranveer
Singh's Simmba are both much-awaited
big-ticket movies, which were earlier set
for a clash during the Christmas season.
Now they will release a week apart to
avoid the box office collections getting
affected, says Simmba director Rohit
Shetty.
Talking about the potential business that
might get affected due to the release of
these two films, Shetty said here on
Friday: "I think one week is enough and
there is no competition. Earlier we were
planning to come on the same day, but
then we went into a discussion.

"We decided not to come together
because that would affect numbers. It
was a mutual decision. If the film does
well in the first week, it will go on. Rohit
was present at the Jagran Cinema
Summit where he spoke about
understanding the pulse of the mass
audience for the commercial cinema, in
which he has carved a niche with films
like Golmaal, Singham, and Chennai
Express.
Asked if he is interested in making a
biopic on someone, Shetty said: "If I ever
want to make a film on a personality, I
would love to make a film on Maratha
warrior Shivaji Maharaj. I can make it
really well.

i dont know rohith is the right person for shivaji maharaj. but i wish someone make it. it will make a terrific cinema. i think shahrukh will be a good choice.

Vicky Kaushal would make a good choice for Shivaji though he is a bit taller...I doubt whether Rohit is serious abt making a movie on Shivaji...
