Looking back, does Ratnam see "Yuva" as an experience that did not connect as much with the audience as he hoped it would?

He refuses to find excuses for the film's failure.

"There is always room to try something new. Be it in content or form or
look. And when you try something new there is always a chance that that it may not connect fully with the audience. That is a risk that a filmmaker has to take.

"If you take the credit when it works, you have to take the blame when a film flops. But that should not stop you from growing and take a few more steps ahead. That's where 'Guru' has taken me."

R. Madhavan, Mithun Chakrabarty and Vidya Balan will also be seen in the film with the lead pair.
