Sooryavanshi: Rohit Shetty Says Some People From Industry Were Betting Against Film's Success Before ReleaseEarlier while speaking with PTI, director Rohit Shetty had said that the success of his latest directorial is yet to sink in.
The filmmaker was quoted as saying, "I am a guy who waited for 19 months, if I had to earn money, I would have done that earlier. I make films with absolute honesty. With this film, I was only worried that I should not go wrong with the belief that people will come to the theatres."
He continued, "I could not sleep the night before the release, I was awake till 12.30 in the afternoon. I had my sleepless nights because nobody knew what was going to happen. The one tag that will change after Sooryavanshi is that commercial films are made for money."
Sooryavanshi has Akshay Kumar essaying the role of a brave cop who sets out on a mission to foil a terrorist attack on the city of Mumbai. The film also has cameos by Ajay Devgn and Ranveer Singh.
