SRK
Reacts
To
TOH
Failure
Shahrukh
Khan
says,
"It's
a
little
personal
and
I
don't
know
whether
it's
right
to
say
it
or
not.
This
is
something
that's
saddened
me
and
so
I
want
to
share
it.
When
it
happened
to
me
personally,
I
wasn't
so
sad,
but
this
time
I
am.
There
are
people
who
have
given
excellence
to
cinema
for
years.
A
film
can
be
good,
a
film
can
be
bad;
none
of
us
can
ever
claim
ki
maine
duniya
ki
sabsi
achchi
film
banayi
hain."
SRK
Stands
By
Aamir
&
Big
B
"Mr
Bachchan
and
Aamir
have
been
people
who
have
constantly
contributed
to
the
excellence
of
cinema.
The
greatest
contribution
to
Hindi
cinema
in
the
last
10
years
has
been
from
Aamir,
and
with
Amitji,
it's
been
even
longer.
Now
if
a
film
of
theirs
(Thugs
of
Hindostan)
doesn't
reach
the
level
that
you
expected
it
to,
does
it
take
away
from
what
they
have
done
for
cinema?
"
SRK
Felt
People
Were
Too
Harsh
To
Aamir
"I
think
some
people
have
been
a
little
too
harsh.
It's
heartbreaking.
It
doesn't
mean
that
their
spirit
is
broken,
they
are
all
amazing
artistes
who
will
bounce
back.
But
one
needs
to
be
a
little
less
harsh."
SRK
Praised
Stree
But
Also
Said
That
TOH
Was
Fantastic
Too
"I
think
Stree
was
fabulous
and
we
need
to
make
20,000
films
like
that.
But
I
also
think
that
Thugs
of
Hindostan
is
fantastic.
Sometimes
we
do
go
wrong,
but
Aamir
has
never
done
a
film
in
which
he
hasn't
put
in
his
best...
I've
known
him
for
20
years.
And
if
there's
anyone
who
can
put
in
even
more
effort
than
Aamir
-
which
Aamir
will
also
agree
-
it's
Amitji...
and
at
this
age!
SRK
Roots
For
Aamir-Big
B's
Good
Heart
To
Make
Something
New
For
The
Audience
"They've
come
in
with
good
hearts
and
great
talent
and
tried
to
make
a
film
which
tries
to
open
up
a
new
genre.
I
may
be
speaking
out
of
turn,
but
just
like
we
have
embraced
Stree,
we
need
to
give
some
leeway
to
films
like
Thugs...
that
attempt
something
different."
'Props
To
Aamir
&
Big
B
For
Their
Attempt
To
Make
An
Adventure
Film'
SRK
also
added,
"An
adventure
film
has
not
been
made
in
India
in
decades.
probably
Parasmani
(1963)
in
black
and
white
was
the
last
one.
Thugs
has
tried
to
introduce
this
genre
and
kabhi
kabhi
upar
neeche
ho
sakta
hai.
But
the
fact
remains
that
in
our
cinema,
we
haven't
made
an
Indiana
Jones
and
screw
the
comparison
yaar,
humne
Pirates
of
the
Caribbean
bhi
nahin
banayi.
So
props
to
them
for
the
attempt."
SRK
Recalls
His
Experience
With
Ra.One
&
Jab
Harry
Met
Sejal
"I
have
faced
this
with
Ra.One...
woh
galat
bann
gaya,
but
at
least
mera
effort
tha
to
introduce
superheroes
into
our
cinema.
Effort
can't
be
derided
like
this.
If
it
was
my
film,
it
would
seem
like
I
was
taking
it
personally,
but
yes,
I
am
taking
this
personally."
I
let
people
down
with
Jab
Harry
Met
Sejal,
which
was
an
utter
flop.
But
I
didn't
want
to
let
anyone
down;
I
just
liked
the
fact
that
koi
story
nahin
thi,
sirf
ek
ring
ke
chakkar
mein
the
two
people
kheechey
chale
jaate
hain.
It
was
very
organic,
slice-of-life
thi.
The
other
day
I
met
a
director
who
mentioned
the
term
‘slice-of-life' and
I
said,
‘nahin,
poora
pumpkin
do
mujhe
iss
baar'
(laughs).
SRK
Concluded..
"What
I
am
saying
is
that
we
need
to
give
everything
a
chance.
If Zero works,
it
will
give
people
encouragement
to
make
films
that
are
even
bigger
in
scale
and
story.
And
if
we
keep
doing
it,
then
maybe
one
day
we
will
be
able
to
make
a
good
Mahabharat
too. Nahin
toh
sirf
bahaar
waale
hi
hamari
stories
banate
rahenge.
Aur
hum
dekh
ke
sochte
rahenge
ki
humne
Gandhi
kyun
nahin
banayi?"
