Sai Pallavi weighs in on box office failure

Sai Pallavi recently spoke about the relevance of box office success in an actor's career.

The Amaran actor was asked how she felt when she delivered her first flop. She replied, “You wouldn’t want to disappoint the audience, and sometimes you feel that, oh, will this love go away if I do something wrong? So, it’s that kind of a fear that you have, but the audience is very forgiving.”

She added that she doesn't take that love for granted though and is careful while picking films, “Every time you come with something good and believe that it is good, they actually receive it that way. They wipe the slate clean and then they love your work for what it is. So, that gives a lot of confidence, not that you’ve got to do a bad film and then they’ll still accept you, but at least you feel that we shouldn’t be very hard on ourselves and maybe be a little more clear when choosing the next one.”
