Despite its stellar cast that included Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan, Thugs Of Hindostan struggled to reach the Rs 150 crore mark. Khan - famous for his sharp judgment of scripts - revealed that he has tried to reflect on what went wrong with the film.
In a gesture that reflected his thorough professional attitude, the leading man of the Rs 300-crore Diwali offering stepped up to take responsibility for the film's dismal performance.
Director Sajid Khan who, too, has been away from the scene after being called out in the wake of the #MeToo was spotted at designer-turned-filmmaker Vikram Phadnis' mother's funeral.
Vikram Phadnis' mother died on Sunday, February 10, and a lot of Bollywood celebrities offered their condolence to the ace designer of the tinsel town.
