Rohit Shetty reflects on the failure of 'Cirkus': 'Don't see a point in blaming... '

Filmmaker Rohit Shetty opened up about the failure of his previous release, 'Cirkus.' The film starred Ranveer Singh in the lead role and a humongous cast. The film failed to impress the audience and badly tanked at the box office.

Talking further, Rohit Shetty told India Today in a recent interview, 'I make sure to surround myself with people who are honest with me. So, when a film doesn’t do well, I know it. Hence, I have always believed that both my successes and failures are mine. There is no point shying away from it.

When a Singham or a Golmaal did well, that was also mine, so when a Zameen, a Dilwale, or a Cirkus failed, that was also mine. I don’t see a point in blaming anything else. I know what we did. We, obviously, went wrong somewhere. It was made right after Sooryavanshi and in the middle of the (Covid-19) pandemic for the workers. It was a small film meant for the audience of that time.'

'My team tells me every 5 years, you are grounded by such failures. I ultimately aim to live up to the expectations of the audience and I do feel a sense of responsibility to give them back the love they give me,' he further added.

'Cirkus' was based on William Shakespeare's play The Comedy of Errors, It also starred Varun Sharma Pooja Hegde, Jacqueline Fernandez, Murali Sharma & Sanjay Mishra in a pivotal role.

Rohit will soon be seen as a host on Khatron Ke Khiladi 13 and will also mark his OTT debut with Indian Police Force.
