Why Piyush Mishra thinks 'Shamshera' failed to impress audiences

Actor Piyush Mishra, who wrote the dialogues for the film Shamshera, has opened up on the failure of film which was a comeback for Ranbir Kapoor after a gap of four years.

Mishra shared that many thought script of the film was the reason of its failure but according to him, it also had to compete with the ‘revolution in the south.’ Talking to Hindustan Times, he said ‘I also didn’t understand why it didn’t work. People said it didn’t work due to the script. I think we have already seen fantastic stunts so many times. Now you will have to compete with them, the revolution in South.’

He added, ‘Baahubali was not merely CGI, it also had a very solid script. To compete with a Baahubali, you will have to write an equally brilliant script. Pushpa also had a very good script, it wasn’t made just like that. Adding CGI is only beneficial when you have a solid script, CGI without script is of no use.’

The 'Gangs Of Wasseypur' fame actor also mentioned that he ‘will be more careful in future.’ He mentioned that for a good script there should be a good screenplay.

'I derive my inspiration only from the screenplay. Dialogues depend on the screenplay. It’s not possible to write dialogues for a bad screenplay, at least for me it’s not possible,' he said.

The actor will next be seen in ‘Kanjoos Makhichoos’ that also stars Kunal Kemmu and Shweta Tripathi.
