A lot of buzz was created by ‘FAN’, the latest release of superstar SRK. Unfortunately, this buzz didn’t convert to good numbers at box office and eventually ‘FAN’ was a flop. Even though it starred King Khan in the lead, the 100 crore mark wasn’t possible.
By the end of 2nd week, the movie just earned 80 crores. One can obviously understand how SRK must have felt after 2 constant flops, Dilwale being the 1st and this being the 2nd. However, SRK states that he has experienced many failures and so, they don’t have an impact on him.
What SRK has to say about his career?
Talking about ‘FAN’ indirectly, SRK states that he feels really sad when he’s not able to deliver something. However, he doesn’t feel sad for the fact that the movie couldn’t make 200 crores. People have assumptions that he might be worried but SRK says that film-making is a business and he has seen too many failures.
He adds something more!
Further, on being asked about losing, SRK says that it becomes too personal. He deals with it genuinely by becoming quiet and spending time with kids. He also feels scared as he doesn’t wish to transfer that sadness to his family, even though they can sense it. However, he adds that his sadness isn’t a result of his failure at box office.
Talking about people’s perceptions!
On being asked about people’s perceptions about him, SRK adds that “Sometimes, yes, but not the blatantly extreme ones. But sometimes, some people’s points of view do [affect me]. See, I feel I must be really emotionally important to them, for them to have such strong views about me. I must be making a difference to their lives, for them to really care that much. Having said that, they (people’s opinions) have their own little pricks and pins, and you do feel them sometimes.”
These are definitely some good ways of dealing with failures! Keep it up SRK!
