Arshad Warsi on ‘Bachchhan Paandey’ not doing well at the box office: Let’s not get into it | Hindi Movie News

Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi recently starred in the highly anticipated ‘Bachchhan Paandey’ sharing screen space with Akshay Kumar and Kriti Sanon. The film received mixed response from audiences and critics alike and couldn’t cross the ₹50 crore mark in its first week.

Having said that, recently during a media interaction, when it was said that the film was a success, Arshad was quick enough to respond saying it was not a successful film and in fact asked the media personnel not to lie.

According to a report by a news portal, during the media interaction, Arshad even added, “It was a good film, but unfortunately it happened, some things work, some things don’t. I feel it just went through a bad patch, there were various things that made it not as successful as it should have been. It is a big film, it should’ve made a lot more money, but it is still not a loss, it covered its money.”

When asked if he thinks that film didn’t do well because it was not released on an OTT platform, Arshad said, “No, I don’t think it is the OTT effect. Okay, I’ve got an answer for that, but I’m not going to say it. Let’s not get into it, it is a different space.”

Helmed by Farhad Samji, ‘Bachchhan Paandey’ is a remake of the Tamil film Jigarthanda which was released back in 2014.
