Ranbir Kapoor talks about 'big box office disaster' 'Shamshera'; here's what he said

Actor Ranbir Kapoor attended the Red Sea International Film Festival in Jeddah on Wednesday. The actor opened up about the failure of his movie, 'Shamshera', and the continuous failure of Hindi movies at the box office during the ‘In Conversation’ session at the event.

As quoted by Pinkvilla, addressing 'Shamshera's failure he said, 'It was a big box office disaster, but the biggest mistake I made on Shamshera 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.'

The 'Barfi' actor also mentioned the film the failure of which hurt him the most and said, 'Jagga Jasoos is 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 the dismal state of the Hindi film box office, he told Deadline, 'The entire culture of going to a theater for a community viewing of a movie seems like dying, is there only for the big ticket films, but I hope with strong storytelling, and renewed vigor, Indian cinema will come back.'

On the work front, Ranbir Kapoor was last seen in 'Brahmastra' co-starring actor-wife Alia Bhatt and is currently shooting for Luv Rajan's untitled, co-starring Shraddha Kapoor.
