‘Khel Khel Mein’, Aditya Seal‘s most recent theatrical movie, starred Fardeen Khan, Pragya Jaiswal, Vaani Kapoor, Ammy Virk, Akshay Kumar, and Taapsee Pannu in key parts. The
comedy film
, which released on Independence Day, competed alongside ‘Vedaa’ and ‘
Stree 2
’ at the
box office
. Vedaa and
Khel Khel Mein
were both badly impacted by the ‘Stree 2’ tsunami. However, viewers have expressed regret on social media for not seeing the comedy in theaters since its Netflix release this month.
During a conversation with DNA, Aditya revealed that it wasn’t the ideal idea to release Khel Khel Mein together with ‘Stree 2’.
Regarding the box office failure of his movie, he stated, “I think the history is speaking for itself. I felt that number-wise we could have done far better than we did. The clout of Stree 2 became a lot bigger than anybody would have anticipated. We expected the film to open bigger. We had a five-day weekend. I thought that there’s no release for the next one month so we would get our due, but now looking back, maybe it wasn’t the best decision.”
Aditya also talked about her experience performing in an ensemble cast. “When we six met first time for the table reading, Ammy wasn’t there, he was in Punjab, I was acting normal and cool with everybody. But sitting with such big names like Akshay Kumar, Taapsee Pannu, and Fardeen Khan, a volcano was erupting inside me. When that table read ended, I literally started enjoying myself. We had so much fun in that process, and the same fun continued on the sets as well. We didn’t even realised when we finished the entire shooting while enjoying ourselves”, he shared.
On the work front, Aditya Seal was last seen in the queer romantic drama opposite Sunny Singh in ‘Amar Prem Ki Prem Kahani’, which premiered on JioCinema earlier this month. For his next film Mere Husband Ki Biwi, he is once again collaborating with Khel Khel Mein director Mudassar Aziz. The comedy also stars Bhumi Pednekar, Rakul Preet Singh, and Arjun Kapoor.
