Your last theatrical release, Kaalakaandi (2017), and your upcoming film, Baazaar, both were delayed. Does this affect you as an actor?
It depends on why a film is delayed. In the past, there have been instances of films with bigger actors not releasing at all, and I would wonder why. In my case, Kaalakaandi was a low budget experiment and they had to find the right release date. There was also a discussion about releasing it directly on Netflix. Even for Baazaar, they were looking for the perfect time to showcase it. If someone says that my last few films haven't done well and hence the next can't be released, I would feel bad, but that was never the case.
But that was the word in the trade circuit. It was only after the success of Sacred Games, that makers decided to come out with the film.
I wish the situation was different and my films had worked, but what can I do about it? I would be more than satisfied if some of my recent releases would've done well [laughs]. But, by nature, I am happy and content. Over the years, I've become a better actor because I've realised that my energy and confidence does not depend on a Friday verdict. I know my job and over time have understood it better. I believe, that there is certain amount of karma in my profession. If you are good at your work, looking great and performing well, at some point of time, everything has to work out.
