00:00I
00:30Don't know
00:49Okay
01:30When I was a kid, I used to watch a lot of Dharamji's films.
01:41I was his greatest admirer.
01:44And another film which was my favorite was Kohinoor.
01:47Whenever I used to watch these films, I used to wonder if I would ever do a film like this.
01:58I used to imagine myself doing a film like this.
02:00When I was offered this film, I thought to myself that I am doing a big daring.
02:07I don't know if I will ever do a film like this.
02:09Because the times have changed.
02:11It was difficult to make big films like before.
02:14But Anil Sharmaji makes films as big as he speaks.
02:20He was already famous for that.
02:23And I was hopeful that he would make a big film.
02:27When I saw the film on the editing table, I did what he asked me to do.
02:34I would say that the credit of this film goes to the producer and director.
02:42Anil Sharmaji and Narayan Das Makhijaji.
02:44To make such a big film, you need a lot of courage which our producer had.
02:51And to conceive such a big film, you need a lot of courage.
02:56When Anil Sharmaji used to tell me the sequence, I used to wonder how it is possible.
03:01But he made a very good film by combining some original shots and some technical shots.
03:10This film will remind people of the films of Kohinoor, Dharamveer and Manmohan Desai.
03:19And there are lots of animals and kids are going to love this film according to me.

04:45How was the experience working with Anil Sharmaji?
04:47Pleasure. He is a very strong director.
04:53He has a typical conceivment and he presents it in a typical way.
05:02As a friend and as a brother, I said that he has got solid stamina.
05:10You don't have much patience.
05:12The horse stands at one place and the monkey slides from there.
05:15The mule flies from there.
05:17You need a lot of patience.
05:19The animals stay at one place and then you have to make them work.
05:22But he has done it.
05:23Can you tell us about your role in detail?
05:27I am playing the king of the jungle.
05:30And very down to earth image.
05:33Not like a title.
05:37It's a story of an animal loving person.
05:41He loves animals and all.
05:44And he is too human inside.
05:48He has got a lot of emotions for everybody.
05:51For the trees, flowers, leaves.
05:53He has a lot of emotions in his heart.
05:56And how this family is his vendetta.
06:01The love story is very good in the film.

08:38Today is the last day of Maharaja Khan.
08:40There was a patchwork of some songs left.
08:42I was doing that.
08:43There was a patchwork of some film scenes.
08:45I was doing that.
08:46Which scene?
08:48Which scene?
08:51There is a sequence.
08:53In this film, there are animals, lions, etc.
08:58So there was a sequence of Govinda and a lion.
09:01There was a patchwork of that left.
09:04Okay.
09:07This is also a song.
09:09This is the title song of the film.
09:10Maharaja's story.
09:12It has some patchwork.
09:13It has some close-ups.
09:17Yes, Govinda is a Maharaja.
09:20He doesn't have a crown on his head.
09:23He doesn't have a crown under his feet.
09:26But he has a lot of love for people in his heart.
09:29He is such a Maharaja.
09:30He loves not only humans, but also animals.
09:34He also loves nature a lot.
09:36Manisha.
09:37In this, you won't find a Bombay girl or a silent girl Manisha.
09:43It will be a very different Manisha.
09:45A very entertaining Manisha.
09:47I have made Manisha do a lot of comedy.
09:51So, for Manisha, this is a different kind of film.
10:01Govinda...
10:04My teaser has just started.
10:07I had a feeling from the beginning.
10:10But now, the teaser has started on television.
10:12Some people have given responses.
10:13So, I did what I felt and what I thought.
10:16Similarly, people said that they had never seen Govinda like this before.
10:43One, two, three, four.
11:13Govinda.
