John Abraham and Sharvari starrer Vedaa failed to impress at the box office. John, however, said recently in an interview that he is very proud of the film. The Nikhil Advani directorial, released on August 15, suffered because of a three-way clash with Stree 2 and Khel Khel Mein.
In an interview with Radio City, it was mentioned that the movie hasn’t exactly done well, and John said that he stands by it anyway. “It’s a brave film to do. I wanted to work with Nikkhil again after Batla House. Honestly, more than success and failure, it’s the message that you’re sharing via your film that’s more important. We’ve told it in an entertaining way, but there’s no getting around the fact that the subject is heavy. And if people aren’t interested in watching films with heavy subjects, that’s their choice. I respect it. But you have to face the subject at the end of the day.”
He continued, “I’m very proud that we made a very good film. This is possibly Nikkhil and my best work together. Often, there’s regret when your film doesn’t work commercially. You feel bad. Usually, it stems from uncertainty about the film itself. But with Vedaa, we’ve got practically everything right. Our cast has performed brilliantly, every department, from cinematography to action, has done well. People will find things to complain about with the screenplay, and that’s fine. We respect everybody’s point of view. But I’m proud we’ve made a good film.”
