Aamir Khan had told that after the film flops, he locks himself in the room for 2-3 days and weeps a lot. Do not talk to anyone. How do you handle after the movie flops?

On this, he said, ‘At the same time, I brought 37 rupees in this city on 3 June 1981 in a pocket. I think I am always successful accordingly. After 540 films, if I am saying that my picture did not work, I was ruined. No … I have no hope from myself about this. I feel a lot of strength. And to make a film like Tanvi The Great, you have to become a good person and brilliant director. Also, you need courage to make such a film.

‘I am very happy. I meet people and say that my picture did not run. Syara ruined. I do not cry at all. Yes, there is trouble. I am not comparing myself to Aamir. Aamir has his own method. But I wonder where the railway used to sleep on the platform. Where I am running so much school now. God is very kind. Work is still being done. Anything can happen.’
