YOU ASKED IT | 9 August, 2024

One reason why Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha not take even a decent opening last week?

– The audience was simply not interested in seeing the love story of a middle-aged couple — Ajay Devgan and Tabu.

What is more important for an actor — talent or luck?

– Talent and luck are both important but probably the most important thing is to be be a part of commercially profitable films.

Why have stars stopped giving interviews to TV and online channels and making appearances at malls?

– Many stars feel — and wrongly so — that interviews and mall appearances don’t translate into footfalls in cinemas. They don’t realise that just like they don’t stop acting in films because one film of theirs flops, they should similarly not stop the traditional ways of promoting their films simply because the promotion did not work in the case of one or two films. Many of them also feel that since they are on social media, they don’t need anybody to reach out to their fans as they can do it themselves through social media. But this is also a fallacy because it is one thing to put out things yourself and quite another to answer queries put forth by the media persons.   Â
