After Junaid Khan-Sai Pallavi’s Ek Din failure, Aamir Khan opened up about how deeply film failures affect him emotionally. The actor said that whenever one of his films fails at the box office, he goes into depression for a few months. He compared the pain of a flop film to “losing a child” because of the hard work and emotions involved in filmmaking.
During a recent interview, Aamir explained that filmmakers create movies for the audience. When viewers do not connect with a film, he believes the mistake lies in the work of the makers. The actor shared that he takes audience reactions seriously and honestly accepts when a film does not work.
Aamir also revealed that he never ignores problems in a film. He said he carefully watches the first cut and makes changes if needed. According to him, many successful films were improved after heavy editing and reworking. He mentioned movies like Delhi Belly, Taare Zameen Par, and Laapataa Ladies as examples.
The discussion started after the poor box office performance of Ek Din, starring Junaid Khan and Sai Pallavi. Even though the film received praise from critics, it failed to attract large audiences in theatres. Reports stated that the movie earned only around Rs 5.44 crore worldwide.
After Junaid Khan-Sai Pallavi’s Ek Din failure, Aamir once again showed how personally he connects with cinema. His honest words about failure and emotional struggles have caught the attention of fans and the film industry.
