Actor Jimmy Shergill says he is content with his journey in Bollywood and feels he has got his due in the film industry.

 

“I choose to do the best and believe in working hard. I think I have already got my due in Bollywood as I am still getting to do work. Today also work-wise it is still a learning process for me,” he told PTI.

 

“As long as you are working that is what matters. I am happy as I am not sitting idle. I believe in doing work in a slow and steady way. It has been close to two decades and I still get to do exciting roles,” he said.

 

Jimmy has worked with stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Sanjay Dutt, Hrithik Roshan and he said that he is lucky to have got a chance to collaborate with them.

 

“I wanted to do films with these stars as I wanted to experience it. I look at it as an opportunity,” he added. Jimmy said he did expect his latest release Tanu Weds Manu Returns to do well at the box office and is happy that it is his first film to enter the Rs 100-crore club.

 

The film has reportedly earned Rs 150 crore till now. “It is first time that my film has earned so much money at the box office. I am experiencing it. While we were shooting we did expect that the film will do well. We were confident about our project. But the film has done well beyond our expectations,” Jimmy said.

 

Jimmy is all praises for his co-star Kangana Ranaut. “Kangana had author backed role in the film. If everyone loved her in Queen and then Tanu Weds Manu Returns i> is a film where she shocked everyone with her performance,” he added.

 

Jimmy was also not surprised with the appreciation that came his way for his performance in Tanu Weds Manu Returns.

She’s the box office Queen and she knows it. Actress Kangana Ranaut conquered Bollywood as Tanu and Datto in her latest film Tanu Weds Manu Returns, which has now collected Rs 100 crore worldwide, in a week.

 

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted:

#TanuWedsManuReturns crosses Rs 100 cr mark! Worldwide [India Overseas] total: Rs 101.67 cr. AWESOME!

This week’s top releases Welcome 2 Karachi starring Jackky Bhagnani and Arshad Warsi and Hollywood action drama film San Andreas couldn’t affect Tanu and Datto’s rule:

#TanuWedsManuReturns is unaffected by new films, continues its dominance. [Week 2] Fri 6.65 cr. Grand total: Rs 76.67 cr. BLOCKBUSTER.

Bollywood’s dry spell at the box office may finally end with the stupendous result yielded by Tanu Weds Manu Returns. Meanwhile, close at Tanu‘s heels is Piku. Starring Deepika Padukoen in titular role along with megastar Amitabh Bachchan and Irrfan Khan, the film’s success grew from the worth-of-mouth reviews. However, the film is yet to enter the Rs 100 crore club:

#Piku [Week 3] Fri 1.35 cr, Sat 2.40 cr, Sun 2.75 cr, Mon 92 lacs, Tue 85 lacs, Wed 84 lacs, Thu 75 lacs. Grand total: Rs 75.08 cr. SUPER HIT

Bollywood further has an impressive lineup in the coming months, which may (or may not) slow Tanu and Manu‘s pace. After the success of Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, filmmaker Zoya Akhtar returns to the big screen, this Friday, with Dil Dhadakne Do, starring Anil Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, Priyanka Chopra, Anushka Sharma, Farhan Akhtar and Shefali Shah.

 

After the drama of a dysfunctional family, moviegoers will be treated to a love saga starring Vidya Balan and Emraan Hashmi, Hamari Adhuri Kahani. The Mohit Suri-directed film will release on June 12 and is loosely based on the life of filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt’s parents.

 

Soon after that, director Remo D’Souza will present the sequel to ABCD: Any Body Can Dance, titled ABCD 2, which features Varun Dhawan, Shraddha Kapoor and Prabhu Deva.

 

Hollywood too has ‘big’ plans for the Indian box office. Fantasy drama film Jurassic World, directed by Colin Trevorrow, will release on June 24. The film starring Chris Pratt and Irrfan Khan will once again take the dinosaur fans back to the Jurassic Park.
