Abhishek Bachchan: A flop film destroys you as a human being

Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan is gearing up for the release of his film All Is Well. The actor who inspite of being a star kid had to make a niche for himself in the film Industry with sheer guts, as this is not an easy task when your father is the megastar of Bollywood.

Though Abhishek Bachchan has immense acting potential, he has seen a string of flops in his Bollywood career. Abhsiehk has always taken failure in his stride, but during a recent media interaction has accepted that it is tough for an actor to cope with his film not doing well at the box-office.

Abhishek Bachchan confessed, “If we give a flop film, people stop taking our calls, then it does not matter whose kid you are. It’s true that people put a lot of money to make a film. But no actor goes there wanting to make an unsuccessful film. We make it with complete conviction and when we are told this is not good enough, it crushes us. That’s the worst feeling on earth and it destroys you as a human being. It takes a person of immense strength to wake up the next morning and face the world. If a film doesn’t do well, you have done something wrong. So if that happens, you take it on chin and weather the storm.” he says.

He further added that, “As an actor when you are asked about it (why a film flopped), it is uncomfortable. You don’t enjoy it. So actors come up with really flowery language and great ways to avoid going into that space. The reason we make up excuses is because we don’t want to confront the truth. But if a film doesn’t do well then we are living the truth.”

All Is Well stars Abhishek Bachchan, Asin, Rishi Kapoor and Supriya Pathak.
