If this is directed at me, I am far from bashing the actors (as actors) I am pointing out the idiocy of blaming one person for a film's failure or success. Many many people are involved in the success or failure of every film (except maybe Salman who it sometimes seems can "sell" absolute crap) Also, remember Kangna immediately complained that her best scenes were edited out of the film...hardly taking failure head on. Only a week later did she "accept" failure.

I was talking about her accepting the failure in her rajeev masand interview. Though talking about her best scenes being cut out is not really bad, especially when she worked so hard for those scenes and her character. Julia's arc was a bit lacking, they could have added more scenes to make it more rounded, for shahid's character, too.

Btw, wasn't referring to you. 😊

"And while he doesn't blame his actors for the performance of the film, he has said"in no uncertain terms"that working with his actors on set was not conducive to his own creative growth. His famous last words on the subject: 'I'd forgotten [at the time of signing them] that everything one hears about actors is usually true.'"

He didn't blame them for the film's failure, he blamed them for making the filming miserable. I don't know if you've ever had the experience of working in an environment where everyday is a struggle to get through the day (I have unfortunately) but it is the exact opposite of what a creative person (well any person really) needs to perform optimally. For example, I can imagine him settling for shots that weren't his ideal to avoid having more conflicts, etc. So if he's telling the truth, having a miserable environment on set could certainly have affected the end product.

edit: I still haven't seen this film so have to take everyone's word on the climax but I struggle to understand when audiences accept ridiculous scenes in successful films (Bajirao riding toward the enemy's army all alone with scores of arrows raining down upon him, every single one of which he deflects or just miraculously miss him) that a bad climax could be blamed for the failure of a film. And if it had a bad script then not only the director but also the producer and star cast all should have known since there was a bound script prior to filming.

Corporate bullies are the worst. I had worked in a similar environment during my internship. My mentor and her juniors were such horrible people.
