If you have back-to-back flops and you're not a star's son, it depends on your destiny or contacts. People say 'No, I'm not going to take this director/actor, he's given four flops,' they forget the day when the same person was a hit.
The pain that you hold is yours. There is not a single pain quite like it. Nobody else on God's green earth can feel this pain, or have the indescribable feeling of pride you will have when you overcome it. This pain is not your curse; this pain is your privilege.
This whole game of hit and flops will always be there and I have survived because I am hit. I think industry works on hit and flop.
Marathi film producers conveniently blame the audience. If there are 70-odd flops in a year, there are a few that are hit because the same audience comes to the theatres.
I'm getting into single malt whisky.
So if radio flops, and MTV flops and everything flops, it doesn't matter, as long as we're still playing and kids are coming to our shows.
The director does not have anyone to blame but himself. He or she cannot hide behind anybody. If a film is a hit, everyone gets the credit, but if it flops, only the director can be blamed.
There is always pressure. If you make a flop film then you are under pressure to make a hit film. If you make a hit film then you are under pressure to surpass your own standard or at least deliver another hit because the audience also has expectations.
He taught me the difference between a good single malt whisky and a bad one.
After doing extensive research, I can definitely tell you that single malt whiskies are good to drink.
Yeah, tell me I'm a bottle of single malt scotch, she thought. That's the way to my heart.
Hope of gain lessens pain.
I love champagne, but I don't have champagne every night. If I go out, and I want to have a drink, I'll have a glass of champagne.
Hey, single malt scotch, youre thirty years old. When are you going to settle down and get married to my stomach?
People will watch your film only if it's good. Another star's flop won't make your film a hit. So my race is with myself.
This isn't champagne anymore. We went through the champagne a long time ago. This is serious stuff. The days of champagne are long gone.
