Ahan Shetty Shuts Rumours Of Losing Films Due To High Entourage Cost
In a conversation with Hindustan Times, Shetty shut the rumours and said, "I know there were articles written about me, saying that my entourage cost was high, and that’s why certain films didn’t happen, and none of that was true. I knew that, people close to me knew that, and my producers knew that too. But you just have to be thick-skinned in this industry."
Further, he added, "Going forward, it might get worse. These things affect you, but you shouldn’t let them bother you too much because everyone has the right to their own opinion, and that’s life. You learn from it and move on. When Tadap came out, there was still technically a lockdown. We were at 50% occupancy in theatres, and a lot of theatres weren’t even open, and after four days, we went down to 25% capacity, and we lost five states."
Have To Be Thick-Skinned In This Industry: Ahan Shetty
"For the year after that, it was very up in the air in terms of the industry, films weren’t working, people weren’t going into the theatres. So, a lot of self-doubt crept in. I also lost a lot of people in that time in terms of not being with them or not being friends with them anymore. So that also taught me who’s there for you at your highs and your lows. It was a lot of life lessons and many lessons in terms of my career," Ahan shared.
Concluding the chat, the Border 2 actor quoted, "I’m taking this phase as Ahan 2.0; it is like a new beginning for me. There was quite a long gap for me for various reasons. But this is definitely a new beginning, and I am very excited for it."
