New Delhi:
Filmmaker Rohit Shetty has put the fourth installment of popular Golmaal series on hold as he finishes shooting of Bol Bachchan with Ajay Devgn and Abhishek Bachchan.
The director says he does not want the audience to get tired of the comedy series, which revolves around the antics of four friends.
"Yes, we have put on hold plans for Golmaal 4. I am not going to work on the film this year or next year. May be in 2013 we will start shooting for it but even that's not too sure. I would love to make other films in the interim," said Rohit.
Though his Golmaal films have done well at the box business, Shetty wants to come up with something unique to begin the fourth movie.
"I always work on fresh ideas and if that's not true then I could have put two more heroes other than Ajay Devgn and Abhishek Bachchan in 'Bol Bachchan' and sold it as Golmaal 4.
"But I didn't do that. Good stories are available, but then they should justify the brand that you are selling. I don't want to cheat audience by giving them something in the name of 'Golmaal' when I myself is not convince," he added.
Shetty, who finished Singham in just 132 days, is in no hurry to finish Bol Bachchan.
"I am tired after working hard on 'Singham'. I am in no mood to make Bol Bachchan in such a short time. I would wrapit up by January next year," said Shetty.
The director, who started his career in 2003 with Zameen, says that over the years he has learnt how to take care of business and economy while making a film.
"Singham was made at a cost which was 25 per cent lesser than that of Golmaal 3. I could have increased the budget but what's the point in doing that?"
Shetty is looking to remake Gulzar's 1982 movie Angoor with Shah Rukh Khan but says it is too early to talk about theproject.
"I had narrated the idea of remaking Angoor with Shah Rukh a few months back when he was in India. However I gotbusy with Singham soon after. There was just one meeting between us, that's about it. I guess it would be very premature on my part to talk about that further," he added.
