Ranveer Singh, whose last two films "83" and "Jayeshbhai Jordaar" were not that successful, at a press conference celebrating the success of the film, said filmmaking is a collaborative process and the credit for the success of a film belongs to the whole team.

"I don't understand the numbers game too much at all and I try to remain as detached from it as possible. I focus on the craft, performance and character and do my best to contribute to what is truly a collaborative effort," he said.

"If the film is a success, it is not my own, it's everybody's. The same goes with failure as well. As they say, you learn more from your failures than success. I've learnt a few things in the past. But at the moment I'm delighted with the love shown towards Rocky," he added.
