    'It is disheartening': Aayush Sharma on 'Ruslaan's underperformance

    What's the story

    In a recent interview with Zoom, actor Aayush Sharma candidly discussed his career trajectory, including the mixed reception of his latest action film Ruslaan.

    He also touched upon his decision to mold his career on his own, without the support of his brother-in-law Salman Khan.

    Sharma further revealed that the concept for Ruslaan was conceived during the filming of his last film Antim.

    Reflections

    Sharma shared how he was offered the film 

    Sharma spoke about how Ruslaan happened to him.

    "Ruslaan happened while I was shooting for Antim. Producer Radha Mohan Sir approached me with the story idea. I really liked the narrative of the movie and felt the climax twist was completely unexpected."

    "The story had scope for action and a larger-than-life approach. For me personally it was fresh that the love interest of the film isn't just an arm candy but an asset to the plot herself."

    Performance

    'It is disheartening': Sharma on the film's performance 

    Speaking about the low box office performance of the film, Sharma said, "It is disheartening, I won't deny, but I am somewhat grateful to have done my best. I believe in putting my sweat and tears into a film."

    "The rest I leave to God and the audience. I hope they see the earnest hard work behind the film and support the film but if not, I take it as God's decision to make me fight another round."

    Film's story

    Sharma's thoughts on the 'fresh' storyline of 'Ruslaan'

    Speaking about the central enemy in Ruslaan is China, Sharma said, "The nemesis being China was a fresh take for me. Usually, stories are about saving the country, but here it was the story of a man who wanted to prove his identity and in turn save the nation."

    Speaking about his previous releases, he said, "Loveyatri gave me songs that became my identity whereas Antim gave me the popularity and credibility of being an actor."

    Independence

    Sharma expressed his desire for an independent career

    Sharma expressed his desire for an independent career, stating, "The intention never was to be a burden on the family and expect them to keep producing films for me."

    He emphasized his gratitude for the opportunities received but stressed pursuing his dream without imposing on his family.

    He added, "There is a conjecture about Salman Bhai and me having issues but wouldn't your own mentor want you to fly with your own wings ?"

    Future prospects

    Sharma now wants to broaden his prospects 

    Despite challenges in securing roles outside of Salman Khan Films (SKF), Sharma remains determined.

    He said, "Getting a movie like Ruslaan was a big deal for me. At least somebody trusted my work and gave me an opportunity to work in a movie minus the family name."

    He is hopeful that post-Ruslaan, he will collaborate with more directors and producers.
