Karan Malhotra opens up about Shamshera's flop

Filmmaker Karan Malhotra has finally opened up about his recent directorial Shamshera falling flat at the box office. Sharing a heartfelt note on Twitter, he wrote, "Shamera is mine."

The film starring Ranbir Kapoor, Vaani Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt, among others, was released worldwide on July 22. Despite effective promotions, the film did not attract footfall at the theatres. 

Addressing the failure, Karan wrote, "My Dearest Shamshera, you are majestic the way you are. It is important for me to express myself on this platform because here is where all the love, the hate, the celebration and the humiliation exists for you."

"I want to unimaginably apologise to you for abandoning you for these past few days as I could not handle the hate and rage. My withdrawal was my weakness and there are no excuses for it. But now I am here, standing beside you hand in hand feeling proud and honoured that you are mine.

He further added that he will face everything together, the good, the bad and the ugly. "And a huge shout out to the Shamshera family, the cast and crew of Shamshera. The love, the blessings and the concern that has been showered upon us are the most precious and nobody can take that away from us. #Shamsheraismine #Shamshera." According to reports, the film has grossed Rs 36 crore since its release.
