We all know how talented filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj is. He has given some of the greatest movies like 'Omkara', 'Kaminey', 'Maqbool', and 'Haider' among others. But some of his films failed to do wonders and they were duds at the box office. Shahid Kapoor, Kangana Ranaut and Saif Ali Khan starrer 'Rangoon' is one such movie which tanked despite having such a huge star cast. In an interview, Vishal opened up on his regrets about the 2017 film.

In an interview with Mid-Day, Vishal Bhardwaj said, "I should have put my foot down in Rangoon and said I don바카라™t care about the release date. The VFX is not right in the final scene바카라¦ That kind of pressure. Everyone바카라™s like, 바카라˜No, it will be a huge loss바카라¦바카라™ At that time, you should become Sanjay Leela Bhansali, no matter how much loss there is, things wouldn바카라™t go like that."

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Vishal also said that after 'Haider' he became overconfident and accepted a lesser budget for 'Rangoon' and he regrets that decision. "You regret those decisions. I don바카라™t regret my creative thought of Rangoon. It was very pure, very unique. But, of course, a film that should be made in Rs 70 crore, and I have decided to make it for Rs 35 crore, then I am foolish, I should have learned something from Shekhar Kapur and disowned the movie,'' he added.

The filmmaker also said that his VFX supervisor ditched him because he wanted to make his short film. "I don바카라™t blame others for my own mistakes,'' he said. 

'Rangoon' was set during World War II (1939바카라“1945) and it was a damp squib. 

Vishal Bhardwaj's last work as a director was 'Khufiya' on Netflix which also starred Tabu, Ali Fazal and Wamiqa Gabbi.
