R. Balakrishnan and Amitabh Bachchan’s much-anticipated third film Shamitabh turned out to be a box office disaster, but they are all set to collaborate a fourth time.
The duo earlier worked together in Cheeni Kum and Paa.
Bachchan graciously accepts the failure of Shamitabh.
“The film has not done well at the box office because the audience did not like it, period! For me, my work is the most enjoyable and comforting experience. Challenges [have been] there in each project that I have done and shall continue to be so.
“Shamitabh has been as challenging as Paa or any other [film] that I have worked in. And working with Balki is a joy, simply because he keeps challenging me with roles that I may never have done before,” said the 72-year-old.
Bachchan says he is grateful to Twitter for the constant feedback on his films and performances.
“Twitter followers have been large and I am most grateful to those that contribute to the platform. It has given me an opportunity to express myself to others and to take back their expressions. It has been most rewarding.”
So would the actor consider Shamitabh a turning point in his career?
“Every film has been a turning point of my career. I have no idea what the future has in store. That will have to come from the writers and directors,” said the iconic actor.
