Aditya Roy Kapur says he was out of work after consecutive failures, didn’t sign anything new: ‘It was a tough period’

“There have been vulnerable moments, like films not working, or when one hasn’t had work. A few films didn’t do well and I didn’t like anything (that was being offered), maybe because I was vulnerable at that point of time. It was a tough period where I wasn’t liking anything and not working for a while. Having a strong support system, like friends and family, is an assured way to get out of it.”

When Kareena asked if there was a specific way he deals with failures, Aditya said it differs from film to film. Pointing out that nearly a year is spent on making a film, including the “crazy” promotional cycle, he said that when the film flops after all that, it leaves a huge void.

“You put in a year of work in it, then you promote it intensely, so you are drummed up to that level of euphoria. If it does well, great, but if it doesn’t, sometimes it is jarring. It always does hurt, it takes time to seep in and for you to come to terms with it. I am on my own, before I go out in the world again,” he added.

Aditya began his career with the Salman Khan and Ajay Devgn-starrer London Dreams in 2009 and gained wider recognition through the Shraddha Kapoor-starrer Aashiqui 2 in 2013. He went on to star in popular films like Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, Ok Jaanu and Kalank. He was last seen in The Night Manager, which was his OTT debut and will be next seen in Metro In Dino, paired opposite Sara Ali Khan.
