<p>From "Maqbool" to "Haider", Vishal Bhardwaj has helmed some of the most acclaimed films in Hindi cinema history but the filmmaker said that none of his movies have been a box office success.<br /><br /></p>.<p>Bhardwaj said that he does not even expect to make a lot of money and that is why commercial success is something that has never bothered him.<br /><br />"No film of mine has worked at the box office. They never made money... none of my films. 'Haider' just recovered the money. Not even 'Omkara' I was told. But it doesn't bother (me)," he said.<br /><br />"I have chosen to make such kind of films. I don't expect a big 'dhamaka'. If it ever happens, I will probably introspect," he said at the 18th Jio MAMI International Film Festival with Star.<br /><br />The 51-year-old director also revealed he had a tough time making the 2002 horror drama "Makdee".<br /><br />"'Makdee' was the toughest film. After I made the film, the children's society rejected it and I had to release it on my own," Bhardwaj said about the movie which earned actress Shweta Prasad the National Award for best child artiste.<br /><br />He may appear to be a calm and composed man but Bhardwaj said there have been times when he walked out of the set of his own films out of anger.<br /><br />" I have left the set in temper twice. Once in 'Maqbool' and 'Haider'." The director also shared an advice given to him by noted lyricist Gulzar, who is his frequent collaborator.<br /><br />"Gulzar saheb told me not to take anybody's attitude and always choose emotion over logic."</p>
