Since the time Bombay Velvet turned out to be a dud at the box office and was declared a huge flop, the industry has shown immense support for its makers and actors. But a friendly word of comfort came in from the most unexpected quarters for lead actor Ranbir Kapoor when Salman Khan spoke up for the film and its cast.
The two actors aren’t the best of friends in the industry given their history with Katrina Kaif. But the Bajrangi actor spoke in defence of Ranbir when he said, “I can understand what a lean phase can do to an actor. I’ve been there too. Not just Bombay Velvet, but any film that flops should be a closed chapter for everyone — the makers, cast, critics and audience. The more you brood over it, the more it affects your ability to move on in your career. Let the guy (Ranbir Kapoor) be. If one hit film isn’t enough for an actor to survive in the industry, one flop film doesn’t give anyone the right to write off an actor.”
Salman has avoided talking about Ranbir and Katrina for years, but made an exception during an interaction during the celebrations of Bajrangi Bhaijaan. Salman’s comment is probably and indication of the fact that the actor wants to let bygones be bygones. Whatever the reason, we’re sure Ranbir appreciates the support.
