Kunal Kemmu explains his journey in Bollywood as a rollercoaster ride

Kunal Kemmu made his debut in the film industry as a child actor from the movie Sir in1993. However, as the lead actor, he debuted with Kalyug which garnered him appreciation for his acting talent. Since the release of Kalyug, it has been 15 years that he is watching the ups and downs in the film industry. In  a recent interview with a news portal, he opened up about his journey in Bollywood and explained it as a roller coaster ride. He explained about his low points in his career and what Box Office means.

During the 15 years of his film career, he has acted in many flicks that include Golmaal franchise and the most recent Malang. He also was praised for his role on KJo’s Kalank. He opened up on his lowest phase in his Bollywood journey. He said, “I felt really hollow around 2008-2009. I felt there were things bigger than me, I didn’t know how I would deal to tackle them, or even equipped to deal with them, I felt alone. All of us go through it. I worked really hard.”

Kunal further said about the affection that he got from the industry and fans. He also said that his initial films did well and were successful, but Superstar  bombed at the BO and that took turn for worse. “I got a lot of affection, it didn’t put me directly in ranks of someone who lands a Dharma or Yash Raj film. I was a theatre boy, who said it doesn’t matter how big or small a part is, I just believe in the script. I think I was also a bit naïve and felt I have all the learnings. I did try and do this, and learn on the job, as opposed to being prepared for it. Kalyug, Traffic did really well, Dhol was a box office success, but Superstar was my first flop. I don’t think the fact that it didn’t do well hit me as hard as what came after that, how things changed. In the industry, it depends on the box office you had,” said Kemmu.
