MUMBAI: Akshay Kumar, Arshad Warsi, and Kriti Sanon's latest film Bachchhan Paandey opened to mixed reviews and was not able to cross the ₹50 crore mark in its first week. In a media interaction, when a journalist said that the film was a success, Arshad Warsi told him not to lie and that it was not a successful film. Bachchhan Paandey was released on March 18, 2022.
Directed by Farhad Samji, Bachchhan Paandey is a remake of the Tamil film Jigarthanda which was released in 2014. The film earned ₹37.25 crore during its opening weekend.
During a media interaction, a reporter called the film a box office “success." Arshad quickly replied to him by saying, “Don’t lie, it is not a success.” He then continued, “It was a good film, but unfortunately it happened, some things work, some things don’t. I feel it just went through a bad patch, there were various things that made it not as successful as it should have been. It is a big film, it should’ve made a lot more money, but it is still not a loss, it covered its money.”

He was further asked if he thinks that film didn't do well because it was not released on an OTT platform, Arshad said, “No, I don’t think it is the OTT effect. Okay, I’ve got an answer for that, but I’m not going to say it. Lets not get into it, it is a different space.”
