Vishwak Sen recently made a bold statement about his film Funky, calling it a "hit" despite its disappointing box office performance. The actor's surprising remarks came during the teaser launch event of his upcoming directorial venture CULT, leaving fans and industry observers stunned.
Funky, directed by Anudeep KV and produced by Sitara Entertainments, was released during the Valentine's weekend in February 2026 but failed to connect with audiences. The film received poor critical appreciation and performed poorly at the box office, making it one of the notable underperformers of the season.
When asked about Funky's disappointing performance, Vishwak Sen responded confidently, "For me, it was a hit, and we made a great film." His comment sparked discussion among fans and industry observers, with some raising eyebrows at his bold stance. In today's competitive Telugu film industry, being realistic about box office performance plays a crucial role in career growth.
Vishwak Sen's comment has highlighted the importance of acknowledging and learning from failures in the film industry. Meanwhile, Vishwak Sen is focusing on his next project CULT, where he takes on the director's chair. The teaser has generated curiosity among fans eager to see him in a new creative role.
