If I make a `Rowdy Rathore`, it`ll be a flop: Anurag Kashyap

If I make a `Rowdy Rathore`, it`ll be a flop: Anurag Kashyap
Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap's expertise lies in making different roughly cinema and he candidly admits that if he's given a role to make a movie like "Rowdy Rathore", he cannot do it.

"I can't make a 'Rowdy Rathore'. If I make a 'Rowdy Rathore', it will likely be a flop. It should be made with a conviction. Prabhu Deva had a conviction. He believes in what he's doing. It's important to believe in what you're doing.

The day I start internally believing in a film, that is within the mainstream zone, I WILL BE ABLE TO make it," Kashyap told reporters Tuesday at a press meet.

Kashayp says that as a moviemaker he feels whenever a film makes money on the box office because that mone is used for the promotion or making of alternative films.

But together he feels audiences should encourage a movie like "Shanghai" too.

"I am sad about people not watching 'Shanghai', but I CAN'T be sad about any film making a living. UTV is making a living out of 'Rowdy Rathore' and they're going to spend that cash to advertise my film 'Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana'," he said.

"Today Viacom 18 is spending money on 'Gangs of Wasseypur' because they've earned enough money from 'Kahaani'. So I'M not sad about any film making money, but yes it does make mefeel rethink when 'Shangahi' doesn't do the way in which I AM HOPING it would," he added.

Dibakar Banerjee's "Shanghai" is a major film that talks about problems within the country and it opened to rave reviews, however the box office response has not been so overwhelming.

"I sat down with Dibakar an afternoon before and he said this may increasingly be the scenario. I USED TO BE hopeful and i'm always an optimist. 'Paan Singh Tomar' rotated and did something which I'M really happy about. 'Shanghai' didn't and i'm still hoping. I DON'T BELIEVE that I CAN be ever sad about 'Rowdy Rathore' making money," he said.

Meanwhile, part one in every of Kashyap's crime thriller "Gangs of Wasseypur" is able to release June 22.
