Gauahar Khan talks about Rocket Singh

The actress expressed her belief that the film was way ahead of its time and feels confident that if it was released today, it would have been a blockbuster, due to the script and performances. She also mentioned that everything happens for a reason. She said, “If Rocket Singh had to release today, I think it would have been the biggest blockbusters with the kind of film that it was, with the kind of writing that it had, with the kind of actors that it had. It just came way ahead of its time and that time the industry was not ready for a film like that. For a simple film that was so strong on paper, so strong in performances that it should have probably swept off all the awards that year.”

Gauahar added, “I got a nomination, I was in debut and Best Supporting Actor, and I got one award as well. I think if it had reelased today, I would probably have been the next superstar to have hit the market. But I also believe that everything happens for the best. If I hadn’t debuted with Rocket Singh I wouldn’t be the actor that I am today. I was exposed right at the beginning to a director like Shimit Amin who gave me the opportunity to do a film like Rocky Singh.”
