Vasan Bala On Jigra's Failure

Meanwhile, Jigra was not a hit at the box office and failed to break even. Vasan Bala, in a chat with The Hollywood Reporter, spoke about this and took all the blame on himself. The director said Jigra's failure was a 'surprise' to him. "The surprise was the failure because you obviously don't set out to fail. Also, this was not a very stubborn, 'will-only-deliver-it-this-way' kind of film. I thought it was a pretty accessible, straight-arrow film, and the emotions were universal," he added.

Vasan concluded, "For me, it has always been a struggle to put the film out. But this time, it was a given that the film was going to be out and in a big way. So this is a first for me, and I don't even know how to process this. What I do know is there is a certain responsibility in the mainstream to deliver at the box office."
