Times when actors shared their thoughts on certain roles they regretted doing in their popular films.
Many times fans wonder why their favourite actors took up certain roles as they looked misfit in those characters or didn't fit in their filmography entirely. Not just that, there are actors who without shying said which films they regret doing and call it a mistake. A few actors namely Abhay Deol, Ajay Devgn, Amitabh Bachchan, Emraan Hashmi, Govinda, Katrina Kaif, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Saif Ali Khan, Shahid Kapoor, Twinkle Khanna and many others shared their thoughts on the film they regretted doing.
Check it out in detail below:
1. Abhay Deol
)
Abhay Deol is one actor who believes in calling a spade a spade. Earlier during an interaction with The Times of India, Abhay had said it blatantly that he regretted doing Aisha. The actor stated, "The movie had nothing to do with Jane Austen’s Emma as it was reported. When I was shooting, I realized that the film was more about clothes than actual acting. I even read reviews of the movie that praised the clothes. I would like to say today that I will never be part of a film like Aisha in my lifetime. It’s not the kind of film I’d like to do."
2. Ajay Devgn
)
Ajay Devgn had revealed that he got a rough idea that his films namely Himmatwala and Rascals won't work at the box office. The actor during a press meet said, "80 per cent of the times, I have come to know while shooting that the film won’t work. I have not seen those films during the trial shows. I have not seen Himmatwala and Rascals till today. You get that feeling."
3. Amitabh Bachchan
)
In 2007, Amitabh Bachchan received backlash for playing the role of Babban Singh the main antagonist in the remake of Sholay titled Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag. During an interaction with a media agency, when quizzed about the failure of the film, the legendary actor stated, "That you ask him (Ram Gopal Varma). Whenever a film is made and I am part of it. Whatever mistakes would have happened (failure) or whatever good things would have happened I take responsibility for that. I feel an actor and a director should be held responsible for the failure of a film. I won't say I made a mistake. I worked on the film with all honesty. Maybe it was not the right decision, we accept that."
Big B added, "I can't put my finger on it. I feel if I am part of a remake film I take it as a compliment. Whether a film should be remade or not is the decision of producers and artists involved. Some films have been made and they have been successful but it is a debate. In a way, it is like complementing the original and in a way saying don't touch the original because that is the best."
4. Emraan Hashmi
)
Emraan Hashmi had his share of flops but when asked about one film he regrets doing, the actor had said, "Good Boy Bad Boy toh aisi movie thi ki kitchen hamesha ke liye band ho jaaye."
5. Govinda
)
During an interaction with Bollywood Hungama, Govinda revealed why he took up the role of a villain in Kill Dill which was a debacle film. The veteran actor stated, "I asked my wife and my children about it. They very honestly told me that I didn't have much of a choice. The kind of roles I wanted to do were not coming my way and I wasn't keen on the kind of offers I was getting. My family told me to take up the offer, or I'll be left behind."
6. Katrina Kaif
)
Katrina Kaif's debut film is Boom which she wishes to wipe off from her filmography. Earlier during an interaction with The Times of India, the actor had shared, "The film wasn't planned, it just happened. It might not be a great launching pad, but I get to work with a legend like Amitabh Bachchan. When I signed the film, I was not aware of Indian culture and tradition. Had I known that aspect of India, I would not have done the film. I would not do anything like that again. And if this means that I won't get to do films anymore, I won't, especially if filmmakers expect me to do all the stuff that they see in Boom."
7. Priyanka Chopra Jonas
)
Priyanka Chopra Jonas played the female lead in Ram Charan's Bollywood debut Zanjeer. However, she had a limited role and it was her next film after a kickass performance in Barfi. While talking about Zanjeer, Priyanka told The Times of India, "Sometimes we make mistakes."
8. Saif Ali Khan
)
Sajid Khan's Humshakals has been called out by masses and declared utter flop at the box office. The film has Saif Ali Khan as one of the leads and said that he will never repeat a mistake like this movie. The actor told The Times of India, "The film didn't have a script as such, it was all there in Sajid's mind. I did whatever he asked me to. I did the film thinking that it will help me expand my market, but obviously, that wasn't a clever idea. I've been introspecting a lot and will never repeat a mistake that was Humshakals."
9. Shahid Kapoor
)
Shahid Kapoor revealed he has three of his films on his list which he regrets starring in. The actor told Filmfare, "Shaandaar being the first on that list. Chup Chup Ke maybe I wouldn’t want to do and maybe Vaah! Life Ho To Aisi because I think it was trying to be an international film and we didn’t have the kind of expertise to do that kind of computer graphics."
10. Twinkle Khanna
)
Twinkle Khanna often tells that her film Mela was the last resort and she hardly took a look back at acting. The writer once wrote on her Instagram page, "Certain things, I suppose, are timeless! This popped up in my messages today and what can I say except Mela has certainly left a mark or a scar, whichever way you look at it, on me and the rest of the nation."
