Zoya Akhtar got screamed at by an old man for making Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. Says "Useless Movie"

Filmmaker Zoya Akhtar marked her directorial debut with Luck By Chance. She then directed the smashing successful movie Zindagi Milegi Dobara starring Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar, Katrina Kaif, Abhay Deol, Kalki and many more. 

In a recent interview with Hollywood Reporter Zoya recalled how an uncle had screamed at her for making Zindagi Milegi Dobara. He also called the movie 'rubbish'. 

The same person was also available during the screening of Gully Boy and said, “There is too much rapping”. Zoya then also explained to him, “Because this is a film about rap” and said, “What am I doing here?” Akhtar soon added that she doesn’t like taking feedback because she doesn’t want to hear everything people say.

Zoya gave this reply when she was questioned why she has stopped going to screenings. She said, “I have been shouted at once in a focus group. There was this uncle, he was the producer’s father’s friend. It was the focus group screening for ZNMD. He went like, ‘This is a rubbish movie. What is going on? What are they doing? They are driving?’ I was like, ‘Sir, this movie is not for you. Because I cannot do anything to make this movie for you."

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara was released on July 15, 2011, and still remains a fan-favorite. The movie, over the years, achieved a cult status and is probably one of the best travel movies made so far.
