Most of the filmmakers oscillate between hope and dread before the release of their films and director Rohit Shetty is no exception.

His forthcoming film "Golmaal" is set to roll on July 14 and he is experiencing mixed feelings for the same.

"'Golmaal' is a very colourful and youth-oriented film. The promos have caught everyone's attention and the expectations seem to be sky high, which has got me worried. I hope I can live up to everyone's expectations. Besides, all the actors have done a marvellous job," said Shetty.

His directorial debut "Zameen" was out-and-out action-thriller but it didn't work well at the office.

One wonders what prompted him to switch to another genre?

"I don't want to restrict myself to a particular genre. I want to explore new horizons and when I heard the script of 'Golmaal', it got me really excited."

Apart from "Golmaal", which stars Ajay Devgan, Arshad Warsi, Sharman Joshi, Tusshar Kapoor, Paresh Rawal and Rimi Sen, Shetty has three other films in the offing.

One is an untitled action flick with Balaji Telefilms and the other two are with Ramesh Sippy and Shree Ashtavinayak Cine visions respectively. The cast of none of these films has been finalised yet.
