After receiving criticism for supporting his most recent picture, Jigra, which has done poorly at the
box office,
director Vasan
bala deleted his X account. The movie, which starred
alia bhatt, has had trouble drawing viewers and has only made ₹25 crore out of its ₹80 crore budget.
Vasan said in an
interview that he doesn't see
box office receipts as the only indicator of success. Many
social media users attacked him when he backed Jigra, labeling him "arrogant" for failing to recognize the film's terrible results. Following the critical remarks, Vasan's X account was closed, leaving behind a blank page and blank responses to his earlier posts. This action generated more debate, and many
people supported him.
Some argued that he shouldn't be held exclusively responsible for the movie's failure because
alia bhatt and
producer karan johar were highly featured in its promotion. Even though he was not the only one engaged in the film's advertising, they contended that he was unjustly left to deal with the criticism on his own after it failed to live up to expectations. Jigra is yet another unsuccessful attempt by
karan johar, who has failed to produce a single widespread hit in the years after the epidemic.
