Saif Ali Khan calls Vikram Vedha’s failure ‘extremely disappointing’

Actor Saif Ali Khan, in a recent interview, said it was “extremely disappointing” for him to witness the poor box-office performance of his film, Vikram Vedha.

In an interview with CNBC-TV18, Khan said Vikram Vedha was appreciated by many, and with him and actor Hrithik Roshan in the lead, it was expected to do well, but it didn’t. “The reason we should be very polite to each other is because nobody has any clue of what works and doesn’t work,” Khan added.

On being asked about the majority of Bollywood films not performing at the box office, the Tandav actor said, “I have no idea, but something is happening. People will continue to make movies. Prices will keep fluctuating because some of our pricing is insane. We pay people astronomically and the returns have been not good.”

He also said that only two per cent of the population actually pays to watch films, but if the number increases to 20%, it could make it a wealthy industry. However, he noted that people will have to make money to pay for films.
