MUMBAI : Former Miss World Manushi Chhillar made her acting debut with Samrat Prithviraj which starred Akshay Kumar in the titular role. She once again was seen with Akshay in Bade Miyan Chote Miyan which also starred Tiger Shroff and Alaya F. The actress had to undergo a rigorous physical transformation for her role.
Manushi recently revealed, despite being a vegetarian since childhood, she had to turn a non-vegetarian for the film. The film however, didn’t do well and failed to live up to audiences expectations. Speaking on the same, Manushi said, “I was like ‘Arey, mere to life me bohot kuchh overnight hua hai (I thought to myself that a lot in my life has happened overnight)’. Not that I haven't worked hard for it. But I used to think that if I'm focused and dedicated, then I am sure I will get something out of it, and I have gotten something out of everything. But yes, as an actor, you want your films to do well. You want people to watch you, to like you, like the film and enjoy and have a good time and feel entertained.”
She further revealed, “Sometimes, it doesn't happen which is completely normal. That's something I have made peace with. For me, the only thing is I need to be doing a good job and exploring new things. I need to also have filmmakers see me do something on screen. So, I think that was my takeaway. Box office numbers are something that, as an actor, you don't have any control over so whatever I don't have control of, I don't think much of it.”
Made with a budget of Rs 350 crores, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan managed to make Rs Rs 55.55 crore within 11 days of its release.
On the work front, Manushi will next be seen with John Abraham in Tehran which is directed by Arun Gopalan. The action-thriller will be released later this year.
