Makers spend crores of rupees on making a film. There are many Hollywood films whose budget is more than Rs 1000 crore. At the same time, the makers also try their best to earn twice as much from the box office. But many times their bet backfires, and the film is not able to earn, let alone recover its budget. Today, we will tell you about one such film, which was made in Rs 1300 crore. The world's biggest flop film
This film is considered one of the biggest flops in the world. The producers spent Rs 1300 crore on this film. But even after being a flop, it made a big record. John McTiernan directed this film in the year 1999. The name of this American historical fiction film is The 13th Warrior. In which Antonio Banderas played the role of Ahmed Ibn Fadlan. Diane Venora and Omar Sharif also worked in the film.
Starred a Muslim actor in the lead role
This film was based on Michael Crichton's 1976 novel 'Eaters of the Dead'. At the same time, the story of Ahmed Ibn Fadlan (a Baghdadi traveler) was shown in it. However, despite being a flop, the film made a big record. The record of the film was that for the first time a Muslim actor was presented as a hero in a Hollywood film. The 13th Warrior not only flopped at the box office, but the film also had to face a lot of criticism.
This film was made in 160 million dollars i.e. Rs 1300 crore. However, it was successful in doing business of only 61 million dollars i.e., Rs 511 crores from all over the world. That is, if we look at the total budget, the film had to suffer a loss of hundreds of crores. When this film flopped at the box office, a critic said that now no one in Hollywood will make the mistake of making a film based on a Muslim hero. This loss was quite big.
