In an interview with ANI, Rohit recently talked about how Ajay is his biggest supporter. "I dropped out of school when I was in 10th and worked for 15 years. I struggled and worked a lot. During this time, Ajay started his company. By then, I had worked a lot with Ajay in Suhaag, Haqeeqat, and Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha. But before Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha, the previous movies did not do well or were not completed. Then he started his company and told me, 'You come with me and we will work together.' Then, I started working in Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha. I was an associate director there, Raju Chacha, and all these films, and then after 13-14 years, I told him I wanted to direct, and he said sure, and then I narrated to him a script, and he said we should do it," Rohit said."That film was Zameen," he added.

I didn't have to struggle to get my first film because before that already that 15 years or 14 years of hard work had gone," Rohit shared. Exploring Ajay's filmography, Shetty emphasized the actor's versatility. "He has done everything," Rohit said, referencing Ajay's diverse roles in films like Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Zakhm and Raincoat. He also revealed that Ajay Devgn is usually quiet.
