"Saawariya is a flop and we should leave it," Sajid Khan 16 Nov, 2007 08:07 am ISTlRyan Lobo/INDIATIMES MOVIES
It's been a fruitful year for your family. First your film turned out to be a big hit and now your sister's film? "More than the success of our film OSO and Heyy Babyy I am happy because my sister is pregnant, and she's going to be a mother soon so for me that is priority number one. However I am extremely sad that my friend and producer of Heyy Babyy , Sajid Nadiadwala lost his father and this has led to mixed reactions as Sajid and I were extremely happy that we have scored the biggest hit of the year and at the same time we were sad as he lost his father due to cancer. So now I am happy not just because my sister has made the biggest hit of the year but the biggest hit of Indian cinema. In terms of box office results ' OSO ' is number one. Can you beat it? You have been maintaining a rather low profile during the making ' OSO '? "I am by nature a very low profile kind of person, I move out of my house only when I have to work and I have to do any thing that is work oriented like giving an interview or for publicity for my film. Only then I move out otherwise I don't party I don't drink or anything, not even premiers and all." Every star in Bollywood made their special appearances but you were conspicuous by your absence. Didn't Farah offer you a cameo? "I was not in ' OSO ' because I was busy with my own film." Were you involved in the making of ' OSO '? "No. I have never helped Farah with her work and at home also." (laughs). What do you think of ' OSO '? It is great film; like I said earlier, it's not just the biggest box office hit of the year but also the biggest hit of Indian Cinema. And Saawariya ? "I don't think much about Saawariya , I saw it and I didn't like it. Saawariya is a flop, and we should leave it on that. And one thing if it could have had one basic ingredient called the script and a better screen play there was some chance of its survival. The film is very well shot but still it's an art director's film, but still I bought a ticket and went to watch it but didn't like it and I guess I am in the majority." What's your reaction on the ongoing exchange of war of words between Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Farah? "I guess very honestly that it's not much to talk about as he has made better films and this is not his final film." Bhansali said that he's not comfortable making movies with 40 plus actors who removes their shirts in public? "I think that it's an incredibly very stupid statement. Because I guess statements are meant to sensationalize, sometimes I feel that the person who make these statements also don't take it that seriously." |
