The much-hyped movie Tashan failed to decide the faith of the hot Bollywood pair Saif-Kareena on the reel life.

Tashan, who failed terribly at the box office, disappointed the couple as they had put their heart and soul to create something different in terms of style and chemistry.

So, it is quite natural for Chotte Nawab to be upset over the onscreen failed romance.

Besides, he has also been telling friends that a big portion of his character in the film was cut down on the editing table. But the reality is that only one big sequence had been slashed.

However, since it was with Bebo, Saif is not happy.

Director Vijay Krishna Acharya is shocked by the severity of the disapproval against the movie.

“Yes, certain scenes had to be cut. But I don't think any actor is especially unhappy about a normal procedure like editing to tighten a film. In fact Akshay Kumar, director Nikhil Advani [who’s a friend] and the rest of the unit of Chandni Chowk to China saw the film in Bangkok the other day and they loved it,” Mr. Acharya said.

Vijay ponders over the film’s fate. “I didn’t know I had made the worst film on this planet. A lot of the venom was directed at my producer Yashraj Films, for whatever reasons. But I'm happy to say, in spite of Tashan not opening at multiplexes, it has collected almost as much as Yashraj Films' Fanaa. And that's saying a lot.”

Despite the strict reaction, the Tashan director is ready to direct another movie for Yashraj Films.

“Yes, I'm going to be directing my next film sooner than I had thought I would. While I'll be helping out my mentor Mani Ratnam with his new project, I'll be simultaneously work on my own film. It's very important for me to direct another film and let my critics know that my convictions as a filmmaker remain unshaken. Though it'll be nothing like Tashan, my next film, too, will be as whimsical. It's always going to be my way,” he said.
 
And Yashraj Films is not backing out of Acharya’s upcoming flick.

“I’m thankful for their belief in me. I don't think anyone of us feels I made the wrong film. Now that Tashan has opened in multiplexes, we're hoping to tilt the imbalance in the performance level,” he also said.
