Filmmaking is team work and when a film doesn't work, actors should take discredit for the failure, suggests actor-filmmaker Ajay Devgn, who is gearing up for the release of Singham Returns, his ninth film with director Rohit Shetty.
Currently director Sajid Khan, a college friend and colleague of Ajay, is in the line of fire for the Humshakals fiasco. His cast is blaming him for its box office debacle.
‘When a film works, every actor tries to take the credit for the film, but when it does not work, you should take the discredit too because filmmaking is a teamwork,’ said the 45-year-old in a group interview.
The actor-producer, who has come a long away since his first film Phool Aur Kaante in 1991, admits that the director is the captain of the ship and as a result the onus is on him. ‘Yes, the director gives maximum inputs. Sometimes he says, 'Trust me'. But somewhere it's your mistake too.
