Where is Aamir Khan’s “loyal audience,” asks Vivek Agnihotri?

In a recent interview, director Vivek Agnihotri attacked the movie Laal Singh Chaddha starring Aamir Khan. The majority of people didn’t go to see the movie because they didn’t truly understand what it was about, according to Vivek, who said that “bhakts” are to blame for the failure of the movie. He also stated that “people saw his honesty in the film” and compared the movie to Aamir’s successful film Dangal.

Laal Singh Chaddha is an official Hindi version of Robert Zemeckis’ Oscar-winning 1994 film Forrest Gump, which starred Tom Hanks as the title character. It was adapted by Atul Kulkarni and directed by Advait Chandan. Additionally, Laal Singh Chaddha depicts several historical incidents in India as perceived from a man’s perspective. The movie premiered in August.

Vivek stated, “I have a really rational question to ask and then I will end,” in an interview with Kushal Mehra. Then you can respond to my question. Laal Singh Chaddha is a good example, and I hope Aamir Khan hears me and gets it because I’m not just some random person. I am speaking truthfully. Everyone in the business claims that “bhakts destroyed the movie,” but are you aware of how many votes Narendra Modi receives in India? Is 40% acceptable? Therefore, let’s remove this 40–50% from his audience. And where are the other 50% of people?

“In the worst-case situation,” he continued, “you might at least have some devoted audience. And if you don’t have a committed following, then all you did was fake and fraudulent. You were deceiving people, so why do you even demand 150–200 crore? If the boycott was legitimate, it wasn’t violent this time. The boycotts against Dangal were violent. Theaters were being closed by people. Some theatres burned down during protests for the movie Padmaavat, although it was a huge smash. People recognised your honesty, which is why Dangal became a smash hit. People saw that you put on weight to play a father, but can anyone explain to me what Laal Singh Chaddha is about? Nobody is aware of that

After collaborating with Alia Bhatt, director “ki band baj jaati hai,” Vasan Bala explains why

Vasan Bala, who directed Alia Bhatt in the ill-fated Jigra, has opened up on his experience working with the actor.
Vasan Bala collaborated with actor Alia Bhatt for the first time this year in the jailbreak thriller Jigra. While critics praised the film, it did not work at the box office. A minor controversy erupted around the time of the release when a statement from Vasan about producer Karan Johar sending his half-baked script to Alia was misconstrued. Now, the filmmaker has opened up on his experience working with Alia, emphasising that she spoils her directors.

Vasan Bala on working with Alia Bhatt

In an interaction with Mashable India, Vasan said, “I think every director who I love should get an opportunity to work with Alia Bhatt. They will be spoilt and then unki agli film mein band bajegi (They will suffer in their next film),” adding, “She has no entourage, nothing, she is always ready. Sometimes, I didn’t even have to communicate how I wanted a scene; a gesture from my end would be enough for her to understand what I needed in that shot.”

The filmmaker also recalled a day on set when both he and Alia let loose and welcomed a more fun environment on the otherwise grim film set. “Usually, sets are funny, but this film lacked humour, so the environment on the set used to remain quiet serious. This one day, we had a lighter day, and we were just chit-chatting and laughing,” he added.

Made on a budget of ₹80 crore, Jigra underperformed at the box office and collected only ₹55 crore worldwide.
