Ranbir Kapoor, who gave two box office bombs Roy and Bombay Velvet back-to-back this year, says actors deserve to be criticised if the movies don’t work at the box office.
“I think an actor is given a lot of credit when the film is a hit. When my films do well, I’m showered with love and appreciation. So when my film does not do well, the criticism should be for me,” Ranbir said at the Puma home kit launch for Mumbai City FC, a team co-owned by him.
“I should be criticised because the movie was my choice, I worked in it, the audience showed faith in me and came to see the movie, and when they don’t like it, the result should be on me,” he added.
Commenting on his team’s performance in the last season of Indian Super League, Ranbir said, “It is necessary for an actor or a sportsman to graciously accept both loss and success. Humility and goodness are very important.”
Speaking about his colleagues and co-players he said, “Many people from the (film) industry play football...Abhishek Bachchan, Arjun Kapoor, Varun Dhawan and Dino Morea, to name a few”.
“In my humble opinion, I am the best player in the industry. I have heard Shah Rukh Khan plays good football, even John Abraham was a school captain. I have not played with them but yes, amongst those playing now, I am the best.”
