There were reports that Love Story 2050 opened at 20 per cent and 30 per cent and Aamir Khan was sabotaging the film to promote his nephews films.
Q: How would you respond to a critic who says you can’t act?
A: One out of 50 reviews that I read said I can’t act. I hate saying this myself because it sounds wrong but 49 of the reviews have said that a star is born.
Q: Almost every critic has also said that you act like Hrithik and you dance like Hrithik…
A: I disagree. Barring four or five critics, who, I think, are very blatantly prejudiced and biased.
Q: In retrospect, do you think that you should not have released the movie with Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na.
A: I did not release my film with Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na. Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na was released with my film. I think we announced the film much in advance. Then we got a hint from somewhere that Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na was being planned for the same day.
Q: Since you guys wanted a solo release, could you guys not push your film?
A: It would be unfair to the next producer who was releasing the film on 11 July. The producer wanted to release on the 4 July, however, he shifted the release on 11th because of me.
Q: Do you think it is wrong on Aamir Khan’s part to release the film with you?
A: Whatever decision he took, was I think, thought over and was right for him. I have no grudges at all.
Q: But there were so many reports before the release that you guys are saying that Aamir was trying to sabotage your release. Did you say that ever?
A: It is impossible for me to make a statement like that. It is absolute wrongly reported. I don’t even think my dad has ever said it. I don’t think anyone from Adlabs has ever made it. I don’t think that even a spot boy working on my set has ever made that statement.
