Actor Vishwak Sen, known as much for controversies as for his films, is currently facing a rough phase in his career. His latest film, Laila, has turned out to be a massive failure at the box office, further denting his market value. According to industry insiders, Vishwak’s attitude has also been a topic of discussion, but this latest setback has reportedly come as a wake-up call for him.
Reports suggest that Vishwak has been charging around Rs 6 to Rs 8 crore per film. However, with Laila underperforming, his remuneration is expected to take a hit. Well, not just this, his previous two films, Gangs of Godavari and Mechanic Rocky, also failed to impress audiences. The actor himself admitted that he had high hopes for Mechanic Rocky but acknowledged certain mistakes, vowing not to repeat them. However, with Laila, it appears he has fallen into the same trap once again.
The director of Laila, in pre-release interviews, mentioned that several actors had rejected the script because they were unwilling to play a female character. “Vishwak should have thought twice before accepting this role and questioned why others rejected it. He jumped in without a second thought and now it has backfired,” said an industry source.
With this string of failures, Vishwak Sen’s market has significantly declined. Producers who invest in his films may now face challenges in marketing and selling them. “At this stage, Vishwak should focus more on choosing strong scripts and improving his performances rather than being caught up in controversies,” added the source.
