In a recent interview with Times Now, Manushi Chhillar opened up on Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’s box office failure, the actress shared that box office numbers are not in the actor’s control. She wants filmmakers to see her do something on the screen.
"I was like ‘Arey, mere to life me bohot kuchh overnight hua hai (I thought to myself that a lot in my life has happened overnight)’. Not that I haven't worked hard for it. But I used to think that if I'm focused and dedicated, then I am sure I will get something out of it, and I have gotten something out of everything,” Chhillar said. “But yes, as an actor, you want your films to do well. You want people to watch you, to like you, like the film and enjoy and have a good time and feel entertained.”
“Sometimes, it doesn't happen, which is completely normal. That's something I have made peace with. For me, the only thing is I need to be doing a good job and exploring new things. I need to also have filmmakers see me do something on screen. So, I think that was my takeaway. Box office numbers are something that, as an actor, you don't have any control over so whatever I don't have control of, I don't think much of it.”
Bade Miyan Chote Miyan is directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, the film features Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff in lead roles and Chhillar, Alaya F and Sonakshi Sinha in key roles. The film released in theatres on April 10. The film recorded a total of Rs. 47.52 Crores in India.
