When asked about his experience with releasing a commercial film at this scale, the director said, “The surprise was the failure because you obviously don’t set out to fail. Also, this was not a very stubborn, I-will-only-deliver-it-this-way kind of film. I thought it was a pretty accessible, straight-arrow film, and the emotions were universal.”
He also spoke about whether he feels if he disappointed the film’s producer Karan Johar and lead actor Alia. “I do feel it. I feel it majorly. I mean, they are supremely supportive, and there is no ounce of letting me feel like this. It is something that I have to grapple with,” he said.
According to reports, Jigra has performed below expectations at the box office. It’s current earnings stand at Rs 22.45 crore.
