Ranbir Kapoor breaks silence on ‘Shamshera’ failure, reveals the ‘biggest mistake’ he made while shooting for it | Hindi Movie News

Ranbir Kapoor’s last film ‘Brahmastra’ minted big at the box office, but his previous release ‘Shamshera’ was a huge box office dud. Recently, the actor opened up about the film’s failure and the ‘biggest mistake’ he made while shooting for ‘Shamshera’.

Period action drama ‘Shamshera’ marked Ranbir’s return to the big screen after a gap of four years. He referred to it as the hardest film he has worked on and told Deadline at the Red Sea Film Festival, “It was a big box office disaster, but the biggest mistake I made on Shamshera was that I stuck on a beard. When you’re shooting in the heat, and you stick on a beard, it’s like your face is melting.” Ranbir also addressed the failure of his home production Jagga Jasoos (2017), co-starring Katrina Kaif. Ranbir shared, “It’s a film that I produced. It was a passion project. It was directed by Anurag Basu. It was a very heartwarming and sweet idea, but it didn’t do well, which really hurt. That’s the only film in my career that hurt me.”

Ranbir Kapoor also spoke at length about his future plans. He shared, “I have always wanted to direct and make a movie. But I’ve really not mastered the courage to write a story. I have always waited for a story to come to me naturally. But the f*** up is that I’m not a writer, and I’m really shy when it comes to sharing my ideas with other people. But I’m working on it, and it’s something that is in my ten-year plan: To start directing movies and hopefully act in them too.”
