Harman Baweja: Criticism gets personal

Actor Harman Baweja is back for his second innings at the box office with Shilpa Shetty’s maiden production venture ‘Dishkiyaon’.  Harman who is back after a gap of five years, talks about the wrong decisions he made and how he learnt to take criticisms in the right spirit. Harman, son of filmmaker Harry Baweja, speaking about his come back says his last films didn’t work well at the box office, so he took a break to think what to do next.

As per sources, Harman spoke candidly that after his debut debacle Love Story 2050, he had two releases: What’s Your Raashee? and Victory. Both films released in 2009 further dented his career. “You have to reinvent yourself. In this industry, people criticise not just your work but you as well. So, it gets personal and you have to take it in the right way, so I took a break to think what to do next. As we sit and analyse, we realise our mistakes and take time to nurture ourselves and to be happy in whatever we do.”

Harman Baweja further added, “‘Dishkiyaaoon’ is an entertaining film. It has a lot of twists and turns. The film has action, drama and everything in it. I am playing a gangster and the character doesn’t talk in Mumbaia tone. He is a graduate. He is an intelligent gangster who knows that things don’t work with guns; they work with brains. He wants to use his intelligence to reach there and not by killing anyone. It’s an interesting thought.” 

“Dishkiyaaoon” is Shilpa Shetty’s maiden production venture which stars Sunny Deol, Harman Baweja and debutante Ayesha Khanna. It is a full-on masala entertainer about Mumbai underworld.
