3. Saif Ali Khan on Adipurush's failure 

During an interview with Film Companion, Saif Ali Khan broke the silence on Adipurush's failure. He mentioned that often people praise choices they consider bold, like in the case of Adipurush. They discuss risks, but if you fail, it's not truly a risk. He believes that experiencing failure is inevitable and it's just a part of the process. It's important to acknowledge the disappointment, accept it as part of the journey, and then move on to the next endeavor with determination. 

He said, “People say, ‘That was a brave choice…’ You talk about Adipurush, for example. People talk about risks, but if you fall on your face, it’s not a risk really. You have to have a few of those also, and it’s a part of the approach. You have to shrug it off, feel bad, and say, ‘Nice try, but bad luck, let’s go to the next one’.”
