Speaking with Film Companion, Rohit mentioned that he is confident about his movies and isn’t in support of ‘killing innocent people’. The filmmaker said, “Obviously, I’m against killing innocent people, I’m against them taking the law in their hand. But if someone is shooting at you, you won’t welcome them with open arms, would you?”

Rohit further added that the trolls don’t bother him. He said, “Darr hona zaruri hai in the society (You need to instill fear in the society). I firmly believe in this, and its okay if I get trolled for saying this. I’m clear in my head about what I’m saying. All of us here are cultured people, but that life is a totally different life. Imagine if you’re going to office and you’re meeting a druggie, a rapist, someone who has chopped the head of an innocent person. When you deal with those kinds of people, you have a different frame of mind altogether.”

Rohit’s next directorial Indian Police Force is slated to release on 19 January, 2024, on Amazon Prime Video.
