Vishal blamed a plethora of reasons for film failing to hit mark. He felt that he was trying to make a musical seem more realistic, VFX work was quite challenging and most importantly, actors did t get along well with each or. He ded that combination of all se reasons resulted in Rangoon becoming  a mess towards end. Elaborating on actors- Shahid, Kangana and Saif t gelling well part, he feels that it must have affected output in some way. However, he ded that he did t even watch film since its release so cant confirm it for sure. 

director also talked about films he believes are his achievements in which he ded flicks like 'Haider', 'Maqbool' and 'Omkara'. Overall, comments from filmmaker are truly surprising to say least for he has placed responsibility of film tanking on three actors. It remains to be seen if y respond to it or t. Rangoon was Shahid's third collaboration with Vishal after 'Haider'.
