Not aiming at Rs 100-cr mark for 'Kai Po Che': Abhishek Kapoor
News

By Puri
Director
Abhishek
Kapoor,
who
is
basking
in
the
success
of
Kai
Po
Che,
says
he
is
not
aiming
to
make
Rs
100
crore
at
the
Box
Office.
Starring
Sushant
Singh
Rajput,
Amit
Sadh
and
Raj
Kumar
Yadav
in
lead
roles,
the
movie,
which
hit
the
screens
last
Friday,
witnessed
a
good
response
on
its
opening
weekend
and
has
reportedly
earned
Rs
18
crore
till
now.
Evidently,
Kapoor
is
happy
but
does
not
consider
that
the
new
definition
of
success
is
the
entry
into
the
elite
club.
"I
think
it
(Rs
100
crore)
is
silly.
Beyond
that
I
would
not
like
to
say
anything.
For
my
films
I
never
aimed
for
them
to
do
X
amount
of
business.
All
I
want
is
the
audience
to
like
and
enjoy
the
film," Kapoor
told
PTI.
"As
far
as
Kai
Po
Che
is
concerned
I
don't
aim
for
any
number
or
figures.
I
am
happy
I
have
touched
the
hearts
of
audience.
Their
reaction
to
the
film
holds
more
value
to
me
than
anything
else,"
he
said.
"People
have
liked
the
film
and
I
am
really
happy
about
it.
We
all
have
worked
hard
for
it
and
our
efforts
have
paid
off
well.
Even
the
actors
are
getting
good
response
for
their
performance
in
the
film.
We
are
elated.
We
hope
to
work
again
with
the
same
cast,"
the
director
said.
Kapoor
adapted
Chetan
Bhagat's
book
'3
Mistakes
of
My
Life' for
the
big
screen
and
titled
it
as
Kai
Po
Che.
"When
I
read
it
(book)
for
the
first
time
I
found
it
very
attractive
as
the
film
is
about
India
in
a
simple
way.
I
wanted
to
make
a
film
based
on
India
and
want
everyone
to
see
this
film.
When
I
got
into
it
I
realised
it
is
not
going
to
be
an
easy
task,"
he
said.
"This
book
is
about
politics,
friendship,
love,
religion
and
earthquake
all
in
equal
measure.
But
when
you
make
a
film
there
has
to
be
a
theme
or
trajectory...
We
chose
to
revolve
it
around
friendship.
Then
you
remove
and
add
things
from
the
novel
and
you
end
up
making
a
different
entity,"
he
added.
After
he
directed
Rock
On
it
took
almost
four
years
for
Kapoor
to
come
up
with
this
film.
"It
took
a
while...
I
did
not
intend
to
take
such
a
long
time.
All
I
wanted
to
do
is
make
a
good
film...
So
it
took
time.
It
is
not
a
race
as
to
who
makes
a
film
first.
Hoping
my
next
film
does
not
take
that
long
time," Kapoor
said.
His
next
project
would
be
with
UTV
Motion
Pictures
again
and
with
Ekta
Kapoor.
The
filmmaker,
however
refused
to
divulge
details
about
it.
