After calling Vicky Kaushal 'Next Ajay Devgn', Rohit Shetty says he'd like his son to take the same route as him

As a longtime admirer of Rohit Shetty’s illustrious career and astute insights into the film industry, I find myself in agreement with his sage advice to nurture new talent gradually. His anecdote about Vicky Kaushal‘s journey from web shows to small roles and eventual stardom is a testament to the power of persistence and patience.


Rohit Shetty has firmly established himself as one of Bollywood’s most reliable directors. Lately, the star of Singham Again, Vicky Kaushal, was referred to by him as potentially the next Ajay Devgn and expressed his wish to collaborate with him. Additionally, the filmmaker also hinted that he would advise his son, Ishaan, to emulate the career path of the actor from Mahavatar.

In a chat with Mashable India, Rohit Shetty spoke about wanting to collaborate with Vicky Kaushal. He admired Vicky’s versatility and his journey, which started on web series, moved to minor roles, and eventually led to stardom. The director even noted that if his son wished to enter acting, he would advise him to earn the audience’s favor first.

Referencing the career trajectory of the Chhaava actor, Shetty emphasized that he didn’t suddenly appear in the limelight but rather, he experienced growth over time. He suggested that, when it comes to launching a newcomer, an approach similar to Kaushal’s would be beneficial.

If my son wishes to start his acting career, it won’t be through a film by Rohit Shetty. Instead, I suggest he focus on smaller roles in web series initially, gain recognition, and then consider moving into films. This is essentially how Vicky’s journey unfolded.

During the same discussion, Shetty praised the acting careers of Kriti Sanon and Alia Bhatt, highlighting their impressive journeys among the new wave of actresses.

If you’re not familiar, Rohit Shetty’s son, Ishaan Shetty, joined the Central Film School in London last year, which was 2023. His father, feeling proud, even posted a heartwarming picture as he saw him off.

Rohit Shetty’s last directorial, Singham Again turned out to be a box-office success.
