Vicky Kaushal, in a new interview, revealed that he had doubts before signing Zara Hatke Zara Bachke. Further, the actor added that the film’s success has now put him in a ‘super positive’ mindset.
Vicky Kaushal’s last release Zara Hatke Zara Bachke struck a chord with the audience and impressed at the box office as well. In his latest interaction with a leading publication, the actor expressed his happiness over the film’s success and confessed that he had his reservations about the Laxman Utekar directorial.
While speaking with Hindustan Times, Vicky said that Zara Hatke Zara Bachke being declared a hit is very special to him for many reasons. The Masaan star said that since the film was his first theatrical release post COVID-19 pandemic, he was curious to see the reaction and was nervous and excited about the film’s fate. According to Vicky, watching people go to theatres to watch a movie turned out to be the biggest joy.
The actor told the portal, “All these conversations were making us nervous wondering if people would turn up in theatres for our film, which is not a visual spectacle or high on action or mounted on a big scale. But, the audience could relate to the subject around middle class values and struggles. Clearly, audiences are no longer discriminating between budget or scale or stars or cast. We felt so happy to get that validation by the people who watched it.”
However, Vicky also added that he is not really fixated about his film’s box office figures, but the notion it laid out.
The publication quoted him as saying, “People’s love is our biggest motivation and encouragement to keep bringing stories which we feel instinctively. I was having my reservations about the film, but looking at the packed houses and people resonating with the subject, goes beyond numbers. It means the world to me. For any film or an actor, it’s not always about contributing to the revival of big screen business. It’s about showing that people will resonate with the content you make. People just want to come to the theatres and connect to the story and characters with honesty. That’s what has been proved.”
Talking about the film’s success, Vicky shared that this acceptance and validation from audiences has put him in a “super positive mindset” and made him “hungry to give in my more than 100%” in he does next. He also reveal that he tries to stay detached from the fate of his projects as much as he can and that helps him to keep his head steady, and feet grounded.
” The night that I don’t get sleep is when I feel that I could have done better or the day was not good in terms of my performance. When a film works, it gives me happiness, if it doesn’t, it does affect you, but it’s important to keep yourself slightly detached. When a film comes out, it’s important to believe that the film is no more yours and that it belongs to the audience,” the Bollywood actor explained.
On the work front, Vicky Kaushal has Sam Bahadur, Mere Mehboob Mere Sanam and Chhava in the pipeline.
