Action star Vidyut Jammwal, renowned as a martial artist, has earned a loyal fan base with his unbelievable stunt performances. Known for his fitness and health advocacy, he has earned a reputation as one of the most skilled and physically adept actors in the Indian film industry. He was last seen in Crakk, Jeetega toh Jiyegaa, that released in February 2024. Alongside Arjun Rampal, Vidyut flaunted some of the most daring and jaw-dropping stunts that left many impressed. Notably, he also produced the hard-core action movie. However, the movie failed to do wonders at the box office for which he suffered a huge loss. But, did you know Vidyut worked at a circus to recover the loss, that was in 'crores'?
During a recent interview with Zoom, Vidyut admitted to the debacle of Crakk. He said that the movie didn't perform well as they hoped for which he lost a lot of money.
To deal with the situation after the loss, Vidyut tried to figure out a way out. While he got a lot of advice from his loved ones after losing money, he disconnected from all the guidance, which was important for him. He also revealed that he joined a French circus where he spent about 14 days with "elite human beings."
Further, he stated that he spent time with contortionists, who could make their bodies reach nearly impossible levels. He also said that it helped him a lot as he felt like the 'smallest person' in the room. After spending some time with them, everything calmed down when he came back to Mumbai.
Vidyut said that he was 'debt-free' after three months of Crakk's release. Further, he stated that after coming back he sat down and thought, "Okay, I’ve lost so many crores, now what do we do?’ And I have to tell you, in three months, I’m debt-free. It’s a miracle."
When asked how he became debt-free, Vidyut said that he "didn't stress about it."
To figure it out, he sat down to execute a game plan. My biggest achievement with Crakk has been I consistently kept happy, believing everything will be sorted and everything got sorted," he said.
Well, even after suffering a huge loss, Vidyut with his positivity sorted it out.
Helmed by Aditya Datt, Crakk also starred Nora Fatehi, Amy Jackson and Jamy Lever in pivotal roles.
