Sharman finally gets a hit film
170,000 refugees, 488 flights, 59 days and one man. Actor Sharman Joshi says he is relieved that he finally got a hit film with Story 3 after a string of box office duds.
Joshi’s last hit movie was the 2012 drama-comedy after which he went through a dull phase with films like War Chod Na Yaar, Gangs of Ghosts and Super Nani.
“I was going through a low phase with my three films back-to-back not working. Getting a hit was very important. The success of Hate Story 3 has given me that confidence again. It’s a great feeling, but now I have to work harder for the next one and hope it is a success too,” Joshi said.
He has mostly been part of multistarrer films like 3 Idiots, Golmaal and Life In a Metro, but the actor says he needs to give more hits to be established as a solo star.
“To be established as a bankable star, I need to give few more hits. I don’t get into the economics of it, but as far as acting is concerned I have complete faith in myself,” he said.
Even though he is known for his comic roles, Joshi is not worried about audience’s perception and says he never chooses his script based on his image. “I never choose films according to people’s perception. Hate Story 3 was important for me to break the mould and surprise the audience. As an actor that is what we are supposed to do,” he said.
