Rohit Shetty, who is known for his sense of humour as well as daredevilry, is all set to host an awards ceremony for the first time. The director has been roped in to be the main host of the upcoming Zee Cine Awards. Says a source, “Rohit is known for his one-liners and comic timing. Also, all the actors are comfortable with him. Besides, he has a pulse on what the audience wants. His films like the Golmaal series and Chennai Express prove that his movies are among the biggest entertainers. Even the action-adventure show that he hosted on television has been a huge success this year. It was among the top five shows on the small screen. The filmmaker is affable and entertaining, which makes him the perfect host.”

When we contacted Rohit, he confirmed the news, “Apart from direction, I also like hosting shows. This year, I will host the Zee Cine Awards.” Incidentally, the director will be co-hosting the awards with popular stand-up comic Sunil Grover. With Sunil, who has a great sense of humour and Rohit teaming up, it should be a laugh riot.
