Filmmaker Rohit Shetty has failed to mint moolah at the box office with his latest movie, Cirkus, starring Ranveer Singh in the lead role. The film, not only has failed to impress critics, but also has barely witnessed any footfall in cinema halls. But there was a time when Shetty’s movies became hits despite poor reviews from film critics. Movies like Chennai Express and Singham mostly received negative reviews but made moolah at the box office. It was then that the filmmaker had said he hardly cares about reviews of his films.
Karan Johar then asked Rohit Shetty if the film will be a superhit, would what critics say matter. The Singham director replied, “It won’t, at all.”
Zoya Akhtar, who shared the couch with Shetty during the episode, added, “We are a nation of critics. You don’t look at a painting and say its background should have been red. You won’t listen to the chanter and be like there should be trumpets. But everyone is a filmmaker.”
She added, “The audience needs to respond to the work that’s put out there not because this has made Rs 200 crore and this has made Rs 100 crore.” Shetty opined that the audience asking for a Rs 100 crore hit is like them judging a film if it is a silver jubilee.
Before Cirkus, Rohit Shetty had delivered hits like Sooryavanshi, Simmba, Golmaal Again, Dilwale and Chennai Express among others.
