"I failed with a big film...." Did Fahadh Faasil call Pushpa 2 a failure in his career? 

Fahadh Faasil talks about Pushpa 2

Fahadh Faasil, who is well-known for his strong performances and highly regarded parts in Malayalam films, recently talked about a project that let him down, implying that Pushpa 2: The Rule was a lackluster experience. In a recent interview, Fahadh acknowledged that he "failed with a big film" in the previous year, though he did not specifically name the movie. Many are relating this admission to his role as Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat in the upcoming Allu Arjun film.

Fans felt that Fahadh's character lacked the impact that one would expect from an actor of his caliber, even though he had previously played the same role in Pushpa: The Rise. This time, there has been just as little excitement surrounding his role in Pushpa 2, and Fahadh has avoided project-related promotional events.

"I've failed with the big film in the last one year, so I don't want to talk about the film. When something is not in your control, so just leave it."

"In the past year, I have failed with a major motion picture. I therefore do not wish to discuss the movie. Leave things alone when you have no control over them. Without mentioning the movie by name, Fahadh remarked, "Take your lesson."

The versatile actor is still among the highest-paid actors in South Indian cinema despite the setback. Fahadh is working on a number of Tamil and Telugu films to maintain his pan-Indian appeal even as he continues to play important roles in Malayalam cinema.

Fahadh is renowned for his integrity and modesty, and his open assessment of his decisions only serves to enhance his standing as an actor who puts performance before fame.
