Ranbir Kapoor's recent release 'Shamshera' met with a disaster talk and it was made on a budget of over 150 crores. Reports suggest that the buyers will not get more than 40-50 crores. Directed by Karan Malhotra, this film is bankrolled under the prestigious 'Yash Raj Studios' banner. There were good expectations on this film before the release. Apart from Ranbir, well-known artists like Sanjay Dutt and Vaani Kapoor played key roles in it.
On Wednesday, director Karan penned an emotional note to everyone who worked on the film. Supporting his director, Sanjay Dutt who played a strong role in this flick has come up with another heartfelt letter. He says, "Films are acts of passion - passion to tell a story, to bring to life characters you've never met before. Shamshera is one such labour of love to which we gave our all. It's a movie made up of blood, sweat and tears. It's a dream that we brought on screen. Movies are made for audiences to relish. And every movie finds Its viewers, sooner or later. Shamshera found a lot of people hating on It: some of the hate came from people who didn't even watch It. I find it horrible that people don't respect the hard work we all put in."
He added, "I admire Karan as a filmmaker, and mostly as a person. He is one of the best directors I have worked with in my long career of four decades. He has the knack of giving characters that strike a chord. We did that with Agneepath, where he gave me Kancha Cheena to play. The process of working on it was brilliant. He hosted me again with Shamshera and what a ball of a time we had making this film, and bringing to life Shuddh Singh."
He further wrote, "Karan is like family and success or failure aside, it will always be an honour to work with him. I stand by him always. Shamshera will find its tribe someday but until it does, I stand resolute with the film, the memories we created, the bond we shared, and the laughs we had. The hardships we went through. I thank the whole unit - cast and crew of the film who stayed with the film for four years. Through the pandemic, through my own personal rough times. Ranbir and I have forged a bond for life with this film. His craft and ability to depict emotionality on screen is par excellence. It pains to see how people we so eager to spew hatred on the work of one of the most hardworking and talented actors of our times. Art and our commitment for it transcends the hate coming our way. The love we feel for the film and its people goes beyond everything that's being sold. Baaki kuch toh log kahenge, logon ka kaam hai kehna! #ShamsheralsOurs."
