Shah Rukh Khan opens up on Jab Harry Met Sejal failure: It was an utter flop
Bollywood Badshah Shah Rukh Khan, who is all set wow the audience with his upcoming release Zero, has opened up on the failure of Jab Harry Met Sejal. The film, directed by Imtiaz Ali, also starring Anushka Sharma, failed to impress audience and critics alike.
In an interview with Telegraph India, King Khan opened up about Imtiaz Ali’s Jab Harry Met Sejal- which flopped at the BO.
Shah Rukh Khan said, “I let people down with Jab Harry Met Sejal, which was an utter flop. But I didn’t want to let anyone down; I just liked the fact that koi story nahin thi, sirf ek ring ke chakkar mein the two people (SRK’s Harry and Anushka Sharma’s Sejal) kheechey chale jaate hain… it was very organic, slice-of-life thi. The other day I met a director who mentioned the term ‘slice-of-life’ and I said, ‘nahin, poora pumpkin do mujhe iss baar.
” According to reports, Jab Harry Met Sejal could only garner 60 crore approximate business at the box office. Having received praises from all quarters of the industry, it must have been a huge relief for SRK after JHMS turned out to be a huge disappointment. Jab Harry Met Sejal was a 2017 film directed by Imtiaz Ali and the film had Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma in lead roles.
Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan’s Zero is s one of the most anticipated movies of the year. The teaser of the film was released earlier this year on Eid. The movie has been in headlines ever since its inception. Well, there are many reasons for it - firstly SRK would be playing the role of dwarf and its one-off sort of a role. We have never seen a superstar being that experimental and fans are waiting to see him in this all-new avatar.
