Game hasn't done well at the box office but Abhishek is not hiding away from the world. Instead he is going full throttle for his immediate next film Dum Maaro Dum which, thankfully for him as well as the audience, is seemingly far better poised than some of his earlier efforts. However, despite his Goan thriller exuding good vibes, he is unwilling to pass the buck for the failure of not just Game but any of his earlier failures.
"I stand by each of my films whether they work or don't", says Abhishek whose Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey as well as Raavan didn't do well in recent times, "After all,if these films would have done well, I would have got maximum appreciation and praise as well, so why run away? I take every film of mine personally. I am not a coward."
“I take every film of mine personally” – AbhishekHowever, now that he has tried to be different in his last five outings including Paa as well as Delhi 6, none of which has followed a conventional route of story telling, is doing Dum Maaro Dum an indication of something far more commercial that could ensure sure shot box office success?
"Shall I tell you something", Abhishek says in a confiding tone, "If someone tells me that 'Hey look, here is a story and if we make a film on this it is going to be X amount of business at the box office' but I realise that I won't enjoy the experience of making it and instead would be thoroughly bored, I wouldn't work on it. In fact if I work in it and the film even turns out to be a hit, I won't enjoy that success."
If sheer commercial success is not really his reason for doing a new film, what really goes in his mind before he decides to give a go-ahead to a project? Isn't the basic desire of any actor is for his film to be accepted well commercially?
"It can't be just commerce", immediately says Abhishek, "It has to come down to the basic criteria that whether the film has excited me or not. My heart has to be convinced to do that film. It is as simple as that."
