It Affected Me But Didn’t Deter Me

Actress
Rakul
Preet
Singh
had
two
major
Bollywood
releases
this
year,
John
Abraham’s

Attack
and
Ajay
Devgn’s

Runway
34.
Unfortunately,
despite
headlined
by
stars
and
mounted
on
an
ambitious
scale,
both
the
movies
failed
to
set
the
cash
registers
ringing
at
the
box
office.

In
a
recent
interview
with
News18,
Rakul
Preet
reacted
to
the
underwhelming
performances
of
both
the
films.
The
actress
said,
“I
would
lie
if
I
say
that
it
didn’t
bother
me
at
all.
It
affected
me
but
didn’t
deter
me.
I
believe
in
this
saying
that
people
trying
to
bury
me
don’t
know
that
I’m
a
seed.
Nothing
breaks
me.”

The
actress
told
the
news
portal
that
she
feels
that
there’s
no
formula
to
a
successful
films.
Singh
said
that
her
last
two
box
office
failures
helped
her
in
getting
a
better
understanding
of
what’s
working
and
what’s
not.
According
to
Rakul,
it
also
helped
her
to
retrospect
and
reflect,
and
that
she
is
very
proud
of
them.

“In
the
post-pandemic
world,
there
are
multiple
reasons
behind
a
film
not
working.
But
I
don’t
think
that
box
office
dictates
the
quality
of
a
film,” the
publication
quoted
her
as
saying.

Speaking
about

Runway
34
in
particular
where
she
shared
screen
space
with
Ajay
Devgn
and
Amitabh
Bachchan,
Rakul
Preet
said
that
the
film
was
extremely
well-reviewed
and
everyone
who
watched
it
told
her
that
they
didn’t
know
why
it
didn’t
work.
She
said
that
as
an
actor,
the
best
one
can
do
is
to
give
it
all
and
she
is
lucky
that
her
performance
in
that
film
was
appreciated.

Rakul
said
that
her
takeway
from

Runway
34
was
her
experience
of
doing
the
film,
the
learning
and
her
growth
as
an
actor
and
a
person.

She
also
shared
her
take
on
box
office
numbers
and
said,
“I
consciously
make
an
effort
to
not
be
affected
with
them.
We
should
go
past
it
because
everything
is
so
dicey
now.
A
few
other
films
also
met
with
a
similar
fate.”

Workwise,
Rakul
Preet
is
currently
busy
with
the
promotions
of
her
upcoming
film,
Akshay
Kumar
starrer

Cuttputlli
which
is
an
official
remake
of
Vishnu
Vishal’s
Tamil
hit

Ratsasan.
