The Bollywood industry is one where there are a variety of films; from super blockbusters to horrible flops. Some of these movies are exceptionally well and some are worse at such a point that it makes people question, “why did the stars do the film?” Today, we bring to you a list of such big superstars who have openly regretted about doing certain films in their career.
1. Abhay Deol – Aisha
After clicnching high praises for films like Oye Lucky Lucky Oye and Dev D, Abhay did Aisha, which was a an extreme big flop. When asked about it, Abhay told the media:
“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 ever be part of a film like Aisha in my lifetime. It’s not the kind of film I’d like to do.”
2. Shahid Kapoor – Shandaar.
Shahid Kapoor was having a bad phase when he signed Shandaar. The movie went on to become his flopest ever. Responding to it, he said:
“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.”
3. Saif Ali Khan – Humshakals
Saif had a horrible flop with the release of Humshakals. He swore to never repeat another mistake like it and told the media:
“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.”
4. Govinda – Kill Dill
Govinda played a mind-blowing negative character in Kill Dill. However, due to a lack of good script, the movie was a big flop. Reacting to it, he said:
“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.”
5. Ajay Devgn – Himmatwala and Rascals
Ajay Devgn, although has a very popular presence in the industry, yet his hilariously degrading movies like Himmatwala and Rascals were a huge flop. Talking about it, the superstar said:
“80 percent 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.”
6. Emraan Hashmi – Good Boy Bad Boy
Emraan Hashmi had a pretty successful Bollywood career. However, Good Boy Bad Boy is one such film that has always led him to jokes and trolls since it was a huge flop. When asked about it, he told the media:
“Good Boy Bad Boy toh aisi movie thi ki kitchen hamesha ke liye band ho jaaye.”
7. Katrina Kaif – Boom
Katrina probably had the worst start of her career with her first film Boom being a definite flop. Talking to TOI, she said:
“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 film-makers expect me to do all the stuff that they see in Boom.”
8. Twinkle Khanna – Mela
The flopest actress of Bollywood is probably none other than Twinkle Khanna. Referring to her movie Mela, Twinkle wrote over her Instagram:
“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.”
9. Amitabh Bachchan – Aag
Even the most hit superstar of Bollywood, Amitabh Bachchan regrets doing a film in his career. It is none other than Aag, a Ram Gopal Varma direction. Talking about his experiment with Aag, he said:
“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.”
10. Priyanka Chopra – Zanjeer
It was surprising how Priyanka after giving a phenomenal performance in Barfi, signed a film like Zanjeer which didn’t highlight her character as lead.
“Sometimes we make mistakes.” Priyanka Chopra told Times of India.
11. Rahul Bose – Maan Gaye Mughal-e-Ajam
Rahul Bose, after having a huge hit like Ashiqui, signed a movie like Maan Gaye Mughal-e-Ajam, which was a big shocker as well as flop. Rahul Bose told Times of India decades ago:
“Only I know the sleepless nights I have had over my film choices” and we bet Maan Gaye Mughal-e-Azam tops that list.”
