Yami Gautam has been riding high on the success of the recently released film OMG 2. The film, which is on sex education, is getting positive responses from all corners. Well, a fan on Sunday appreciated the actress’s performance and called her ‘underutilized’. In response to his tweet, Yami thanked and shared her candid thoughts on the industry’s dynamics. She said that Bollywood relies more on marketing.
Taking to her Twitter handle, Yami wrote, “Some people find success overnight, some people have to prove themselves persistently for years. Some people are great at marketing their talent (or lack of it), and some people only want their talent to speak. As an actor Yami Gautam, I just know how to act and work exceptionally hard on identifying good scripts and versatile characters, that’s my talent. I don’t understand or get involved much with the marketing of my talent.
Unfortunately for the majority of our industry, everything relies on the marketing of a person or project and not on the depth of a script or character. Maybe that’s the reason why people feel I am under-utilized. Anyways, Thanks so much Aavishkar for your kind words, it’s truly very encouraging. I will get there eventually, slowly but steadily, one film at a time.
OMG 2 also stars Akshay Kumar and Pankaj Tripathi in the lead role. According to trade expert Taran Adarsh, OMG 2 collected Rs 15.30 crore on Day 2. This has pushed the overall collections in India to approximately Rs 25.65 crore. The biggest factor behind the increase in box office collection.
