• Rohit Shetty, a successful Bollywood filmmaker, expressed his desire to work with Vicky Kaushal.
• He praised Kaushal’s journey from web shows to stardom, highlighting his versatility and journey.
• Shetty also praised Kriti Sanon and Alia Bhatt for their journeys as female actors.

Rohit Shetty has established himself as one of Bollywood’s most bankable filmmakers. The “Singham Again” director recently called Vicky Kaushal the “next Ajay Devgn” while expressing his desire to work with him. Additionally, Shetty admitted that he would encourage his son, Ishaan, to follow the career path of the “Mahavatar” actor.

In a recent conversation with Mukesh Chhabra on Mashable India, Rohit Shetty shared his desire to work with Vicky Kaushal. He praised Kaushal’s versatility and journey, from web shows and small roles to becoming a major star. Shetty also mentioned that if his son decided to debut as an actor, he would encourage him to take time to earn the audience’s acceptance.

Citing the example of the “Chhaava” actor, Shetty highlighted how Kaushal didn’t emerge suddenly but experienced gradual growth. He expressed his belief that if a newcomer were to be launched, they should follow a format similar to Kaushal’s.

“Kal ko agar mera beta wants to become an actor if he tells me it won’t be ke Rohit Shetty hai ek film bana raha hai it will be ke use chhod do…4-5 cheezein chhoti chhoti karte karte 5 saal do pehle uss cheez ko, uske saath saath 5 saal ke liye aur chhod do, kahin web series kar rah, uske saath vahan chhota role kar diya, vahan se recognition mila, logon ne accept kar liya fir aao…Vicky ki journey vo rahi hai (If my son wants to debut as an actor it won’t be a Rohit Shetty film. I’ll leave him to explore web-shows, smaller roles and once you get the acceptance from the audience then come in the films. That’s what Vicky’s journey has been),” he mentioned.

In the same conversation, Shetty praised Kriti Sanon and Alia Bhatt for their journeys as actresses in the new generation of female actors.

For those who may not know, Rohit Shetty’s son, Ishaan Shetty, enrolled at the Central Film School in London in 2023. The proud father also shared an endearing photo while dropping him off.
