To call "A Lot like Love" dead in the water is an insult to water.
Nobody in Hollywood ever sets out to make a bad movie ever but about 99% of the time, that's what happens.
When it's a bad movie you want to release it quietly. You try to keep it a secret like an STD.
Over in Hollywood they almost made a great picture, but they caught it in time.
Trying to make a movie like 'Warcraft,' and trying to do it in a unique way... you get killed by a death of 1,000 cuts.
It's not fair that people wrote that all of my films had not done well. There were a few films like 'Nippu,' 'Devudu Chesina Manushulu' and 'Sarostaru' which were really bad. But, 'Veera' and 'Dharuvu' had done well. Strangely, people have added them to my 'flop list.'
We were to work in a film titled 'Zabardast'. Unfortunately, this film didn't take off. After this, I never got another chance to work with him, I regret not having worked with Dilip Kumar.
If you plan to miss this movie, better miss it quickly; I doubt if it'll be around to miss for long.
I came out of the failure of 'Mister' rather fast. It took me just three days.
Some movies work and some don't.
["Where the Buffalo Roam" is] horrible pile of crap. [Bill] Murray did a good job. But it was a bad script. You can't beat a bad script. It was just a horrible movie. A cartoon. But Bill Murray did a good job. We actually wrote and shot several different endings and beginnings and they all got cut out in the end. It was disappointing.
I've personally been involved in movies where people on set were talking about awards for the movie, and I bought into the hype. And then the movie would come out, and not only was it not good, it was horrible.
I believe 'Takkari Donga' didn't do too well. But I had a blast doing the film.
They screwed up 'Raise the Titanic!' so badly, I stay away from Hollywood. I won't cheat my readers with another piece of crap.
I've done some films that, on paper, were really interesting and special. And for some reason, when they got on screen, it just didn't work. Well, I didn't get to watch the film before I decided to do it.
of one hundred movies there's one that is fair, one that's good and ninety eight that are very bad. most movies start badly and steadily get worse
It's possible for me to make a bad movie out of a good script, but I can't make a good movie from a bad script.
All of Hollywood was convinced that 'Gone with the Wind' would be a colossal disaster and rather hoped it would be.
Euthanasia is legal in Hollywood. They just kill the film if it doesn't succeed immediately.
There have been things over the years that didn't work. 'Body Of Lies,' directed by Ridley Scott, which I did with Russell Crowe and Leonardo DiCaprio, is a really tight action thriller, but when it opened in the U.S. it was number two to 'Beverly Hills Chihuahua.'
The failure of 'OK Jaanu' hit me hard.
Sometimes I do movies that aren't any good, or sometimes I might not be any good in them, or sometimes they don't do very well.
I was terrified to do 'G.I. Joe.' I had no idea how to do one of those movies. I was kind of scared. You know, if one of those doesn't work, it's a huge hit on your career. People are like, 'Well he couldn't make a $170 million movie work. I don't want him in my film.'
When a film doesn't do well, people start doubting you as an actor.
When a film fails, the lead actor is always blamed for it.
