Bollywood had a lot of big failures in 2022 and one of them is Ranbir Kapoor’s ‘Shamshera’. The high-budget movie was made on a budget of nearly 200 crores and it ended up getting 50-60 crores. The movie ended up as one of the biggest disasters in his career.
Directed by Karan Malhotra, this film is bankrolled under the prestigious ‘Yash Raj Studios’ banner. There were good expectations on this film before the release. Apart from Ranbir, well-known artists like Sanjay Dutt and Vaani Kapoor played key roles in it. Recently, the ‘Brahmastra’ opened up about the reason for ‘Shamshera’ disastrous result.
He said, “Shamshera was a big box office disaster, but the biggest mistake with the film was that I stuck on a beard. When you’re shooting in the heat, and you stick on a beard, it’s like your face is melting.” Apart from ‘Shamsera’, he talked about his another failure which is ‘Jagga Jasoos’ directed by Anurag Basu.
He stated, “It’s a film that I produced. It was a passion project. It was directed by Anurag Basu. It was a very heartwarming and sweet idea, but it didn’t do well, which really hurt. That’s the only film in my career that hurt me.” Talking about South cinema, he told, “They’re doing really good storytelling. It’s not taking itself too seriously. It’s got all the songs, dances, action, friendship, and comedy. So it’s a multi-genre film, but those are hard films to make because we try to make them, and keep failing. So we’re really proud that a film like RRR is making an impact in Hollywood.”
Ranbir is currently working on Luv Ranjan’s comedy entertainer and Shraddha Kapoor is the heroine in it. He is also working on ‘Animal’ under the direction of Sandeep Reddy Vanga’. It is a crime thriller and has Rashmika Mandanna as the female lead. Script works are underway for ‘Brahmastra 2’.
