Box office collection is a crucial factor in defining how successful a movie has been with the masses. This is the reason why actors and filmmakers are often tense before a movie's release. Actress Rakul Preet Singh, who is currently busy with the promotions of her upcoming film 'Runway 34', recently shared that success of a film cannot be defined only by its box office figures.

In an interview with ETimes, actress was asked whether she worries about box office collections. To this, Rakul replied, "I would be lying if I say that I don’t. Like it or not, the box-office numbers define the success of a film. Personally, success, for me, is standing by a good project. However, your position in the market changes with the box-office numbers a film rakes in, even if your role is inconsequential. Sometimes, an actor may have delivered a great performance in a smaller film, but people don’t know about it because that project is not a box-office success."

She further added, "The influx of digital has changed that - the films and performances get appreciated, irrespective of the scale or lack of box-office numbers. There has to be a balance between the two, so don’t decide the fate of everyone associated with a film on the basis of the box-office numbers. It shouldn’t take away from the efforts put in by the director and the actors. We have been through challenging times in the past two years, and the need of the hour is to come together to support every film."
