Filmmaker Rohit Shetty, who has delivered several blockbusters in his career, said that it doesn’t take too long to get feedback about projects these days, thanks to social media. However, he also highlighted the trend of fan club wars, which are often instigated by actors themselves.
In an interview with The Lallantop, Rohit said that he knows which actors in the industry are behind the constant trolling, but prefers keeping quiet out of respect.

When asked if the information on the internet is manufactured or planted, Rohit said, “No, I am not talking about the influencers. Wo toh aadhe se zyada set hote hai. Main baakiyo ki baat kar raha hun (Half of them are planted. I am talking about the rest of them).”
The filmmaker, known for his cop universe films such as Singham, Sooryavanshi, and Simmba, poke about the warring fan clubs. “There are fan clubs. Kisi ek hero ki film release ho rahi hai to usse gaaliya de rahe hai, koi troll kar raha hai (If an actor’s film is releasing, the other star’s fan clubs will abuse him, troll him) I feel the comment section should be removed,” shared Rohit.
The filmmaker said that he was shocked when he came to know who all participate in these underground battles. “I have worked so much with the police, I know the cyber cell. Ankh ki sharam ki wajeh se main chup ho jata hun kai baar. (Our of respect I stay quiet. I’m shocked to see some of the people who indulge in this).”

Rohit further said, “It will take me five minutes to reveal everyone’s reality, but I have respect for them because no one does this to me, but they know that I will get to know.” Talking about trolls, Rohit said, “It is their (trolls) job to take Rs 1200 or Rs 1500 and spread negativity. It has become very easy to build someone up or pull someone down.”
Rohit recently made his OTT debut with the series Indian Police Force, starring Sidharth Malhotra, Shilpa Shetty Kundra and Vivek Oberoi. His next theatrical release will be Singham Returns with Ajay Devgn in the lead.
