Ranbir opens up on Shamshera and Jagga Jasoos being flop
After a four-year absence, Ranbir made his screen debut with Shamshera. Prior to his well-received Brahmastra release in September of this year, it came out in July of this year. While calling it as his “hardest film” to ever work on, he said “It was a big box office disaster, but the biggest mistake I made on Shamshera was that I stuck on a beard. When you’re shooting in the heat, and you stick on a beard, it’s like your face is melting.”

Ranbir also discussed Jagga Jasoos, his 2017 movie starring Katrina Kaif, which he referred to as “another disaster.” Their hopes were not met at the box office because of the lengthy delay of the movie. Ranbir said, “It’s a film that I produced. It was a passion project. It was directed by Anurag Basu. It was a very heartwarming and sweet idea, but it didn’t do well, which really hurt,” and added, “That’s the only film in my career that hurt me.”

Ranbir speaks on Bollywood’s box office failure
In response to box office failure of many Bollywood films, he said “entire culture of going to a theater for a community viewing of a movie seems like it’s dying, and it’s only there for the big ticket films.”
