Mumbai: The Ajay Devgn-Rohit Shetty duo is elated over the weekend collections of Bol Bachchan, and are now planning to advance the shooting dates of Singham 2, says a report.
Asked about it, Devgn said, Singham 2 was always there. He, however, refused to commit a date on when the sequel will roll.
Where's the hurry, asks Devgn. Presently, Rohit, Abhishek Bachchan and me are savouring our Bol Bachchan success. Besides,Rohit and I have other commitments to finish before we get on to Singham 2, said Devgn.
Rohit Shetty said: "When people asked me if there's friction between Ajay and me because he is doing Himmatwala next and I'm doing Chennai Express, I always suppress a smile.In my heart,I always knew we'd do Singham 2 after finishing Chennai Express."
Rohit adds, "One of the reasons I was keen on a Singham sequel is because this film got Ajay and me tremendous respect from the cops and the janta.
"It has been playing on a certain television channel since August 2011 for 35-40 consecutive weeks.I think that is a record in itself.It also garnered the highest TRP when it premiered on the same channel a year ago."
Says Rohit: "It's not some ego trip for us.We found a fresh story for the sequel and that is why we started talking about a second part. The part one of Singham was a remake, but our sequel is not a copy."
The director says he cannot reveal anything more because the script would need at least five months to be finished.
The report said, an elderly lady walked several miles to Rohit's office just to see what the Singham director looked like.
Admits Rohit: "It is true. I was moved when this old lady walked miles to come to my office. She gave me a hug and said,I have seen Singham several times in the theatre and later in re-runs on television. I like the film immensely and I was curious to meet the guy who has made it. God bless you."
