When I try romantic films, 'Chennai Express' is the result: Rohit Shetty

What is Rohit Shetty's idea of romantic films? 'Chennai Express', says the director and adds that as a filmmaker his priority is to make a film that entertains the masses and recovers money.

When asked why he doesn't make full-fledged romantic film, Shetty said: "When I try to make a romantic film, it turns out to be a Chennai Express." Released last year, the Shah Rukh Khan-Deepika Padukone-starrer was basically a romantic comedy, but it had the Shetty element in the form of high-octane action scenes, an art that the director has mastered over the years. People accepted it and it became one of the highest grosser of 2013.

"It depends on many aspects. What happens with my films is that it is always a big budget film with a lot of money pumped in. I need to recover that money because I cannot make somebody sell his house because of my film.
