Rohit Shetty Sets the Record Straight on Social Media Misattributions

Filmmaker Addresses Misinformation

Renowned director Rohit Shetty has recently taken to social media to clarify the spread of false information linked to him. Using his verified Instagram account, he informed his followers that he does not have accounts on Facebook or X, asserting that Instagram is his only official platform for communication.

The clarification comes in response to a viral Facebook post that misattributed comments to Shetty regarding a roast by comedian Gaurav Gupta during a special episode of Bigg Boss 20. This post criticized the comedic approach taken towards contestants Scout OP and Love Gill, implying that humor should not come at the cost of belittling others. Many users mistakenly believed Shetty authored these comments, prompting him to clarify his online presence.

Warning Against Impersonators

Clarification on Digital Presence and Professional Updates

In his statement, Shetty urged fans to be vigilant about fake profiles. He stressed that any account claiming to represent him outside of Instagram is not legitimate. He asked his followers to avoid engaging with these impersonators and to disregard any content they share as his official viewpoint. This initiative aims to curb the spread of misinformation among his supporters.

While addressing these digital issues, Shetty remains focused on his upcoming projects. He is gearing up for the production of Golmaal 5, the next chapter in his beloved comedy series. This film will bring back the original cast, including Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, Shreyas Talpade, Kunal Kemmu, and Sharman Joshi, with Akshay Kumar joining the lineup. The movie is slated for a theatrical release on January 8, 2027, marking nearly a decade since the last installment, Golmaal Again.
