00:00Why didn't you take Prithviraj Shohan and apply it on Akshay Kumar?
00:02Why didn't you apply it? Tell me.
00:04You didn't apply a wig, you didn't do anything, you applied a moustache.
00:06Isn't that how it is, sir?
00:08Sir, either I say it or you say it.
00:10You say it, sir.
00:10Sir, no one will say anything in the back.
00:12What are you saying?
00:15No one will say anything in the back.
00:16Why do you all say it?
00:18Hey! Hey! I'm asking the one in the back.
00:21Stop it.
00:23I think you all are tired. You are more tired than me.
00:26You can take Padam Shree on my behalf.
00:29I have no interest in taking Padam Shree.
00:31Should I welcome you or you will welcome me?
00:34We will welcome you, sir.
00:36I have come after 19 years, so you will have to welcome me.
00:40Sir, the question is from somewhere.
00:43You are in the center.
00:45Sir, the question is from somewhere.
00:47Keep it in the center.
00:49Okay, let's start.
00:51Roll it.
00:53Roll it.
00:55You are coming back after 19 years.
00:57The new generation is ready to see you.
01:00We have enjoyed it a lot.
01:02How would you like to teach the new generation?
01:05Look, today's generation needs to learn 10 times more than the children of 1997.
01:11Today's children are running.
01:13To raise those children and show them some way
01:17which the parents are not able to do,
01:19the teachers are not able to do.
01:21The children are going with Google.
01:23I have come for that.
01:25Those children need guidance.
01:27I have not come with Shaktimaan's superhero.
01:30I have come with Shaktimaan's super teacher
01:32who will teach the children.
01:34One second, one second, pause.
01:36Sir, either I will speak or you will speak.
01:38You speak, sir.
01:39Sir, no one will say anything in the back.
01:43No one will say anything in the back.
01:45Okay?
01:47Come, come.
01:51Look, I felt in learning
01:57One second, stop.
01:59Why do you speak?
02:01Who is speaking there?
02:03You are all seniors.
02:05Just keep quiet.
02:07You have called me to speak.
02:09Why don't you listen?
02:11Whatever you want to say, take it out.
02:13Take it out.
02:15Keep some discipline.
02:17Sir, tell about the song.
02:19Look, what I have said
02:21that I have come again
02:23as a super teacher.
02:25The actions that will happen in Shaktimaan
02:27will come.
02:29The film is being made.
02:31I don't know who will become Shaktimaan.
02:33I can't answer you.
02:35But I felt that teaching the children
02:37as much as I have the right
02:39may not be of the new Shaktimaan.
02:41Because he has not done anything
02:43different with the children.
02:45I remember one time when
02:47I took Shaktimaan's concept
02:49and went to Dhirendra Brahmachari's guru
02:51to ask whether Kundalini exists or not.
02:53He said, sir, Kundalini exists.
02:55He told me,
02:57Mr. Mukesh, do one thing.
02:59He was 90 years old.
03:01He said, Mr. Mukesh, teach yoga to the children.
03:03I said, look,
03:05if I teach yoga to the children,
03:07everyone will run away.
03:09Let them make friends.
03:11Let them give chocolates.
03:13When they sit down, I will talk about Kundalini.
03:15They will listen only then.
03:17So, what I mean to say is that
03:19I have taken care of the children
03:21for 30 years.
03:23From 1997 to 2005,
03:25small but big things used to come.
03:27After that, there was a gap of 19 years.
03:29Still, I think
03:31I have been invited to almost
03:33every convent school in India.
03:35And yesterday,
03:37I came from Ajmer school in Jaipur.
03:39Presidency school.
03:41And there also,
03:43I was asked to teach
03:45ethics to the children.
03:47I said, sir, it is very necessary.
03:49So, the meaning of making this song was
03:51that let's start first.
03:53There are many things.
03:55Today, there are many things to tell the children.
03:57I said, there is an angle for the revolutionaries
03:59for which we are fighting.
04:01I am involved in the Jahindh Abhiyan.
04:03For 8 years,
04:05I have been fighting with the government
04:07to make the revolutionaries the martyrs.
04:09So, I thought that
04:118 out of 10 children don't know
04:13who Ashfaqullah Khan was.
04:15Turram Khan.
04:17They say, you are becoming Turram Khan.
04:19Does anyone know that Turram Khan
04:21was a revolutionary from Hyderabad?
04:23I don't know.
04:25From Birsa Munda,
04:27whatever names you start counting,
04:29I said, through the riddle,
04:31Shaktimaan will ask the children.
04:33Then I thought,
04:35let's add Shaktimaan's costume.
04:37Earlier, Shaktimaan was not in my mind.
04:39But I thought that if Shaktimaan
04:41will ask the children,
04:43the memory of 1997 will be refreshed.
04:45And the children who used to learn
04:47in that time and today's children
04:49will also learn.
04:51So, that is why I have made this song.
04:53This story of the heroes of freedom
04:55sounds beautiful.
04:57Even if a million are hidden,
04:59it sounds recognizable.
05:01Whenever we imagine Shaktimaan,
05:03we can't think of anyone
05:05other than Mukesh Khanna.
05:07Today, many films are being made
05:09about Shaktimaan.
05:11Sir, why don't you make a film yourself?
05:13What do you mean?
05:15I am making it.
05:17You may not know yet,
05:19I am making it with Sony.
05:21I didn't let them make it.
05:23We are making it together.
05:25Are you talking about the casting
05:27or making it?
05:29Why don't you become Shaktimaan?
05:31Do you want to say this?
05:33Correct.
05:35There are many angles in it.
05:37Commercial lens also has a sense.
05:39A film of 200 crores is going to be made.
05:41Although I had clearly told them
05:43to make auditions all over India
05:45for Shaktimaan.
05:47The whole of India will stand.
05:49Bring a new boy.
05:51There is no need of a star for Shaktimaan.
05:53But don't tease that angle
05:55because I can't talk much about it.
05:57Someone has to do it.
05:59We are still finding out.
06:01We are still sitting and talking
06:03about who will be Shaktimaan.
06:05It is very important
06:07because casting is very important.
06:09Physical casting.
06:11Today's actors are very physically fit.
06:13There are talks of 6-7 abs.
06:15Shaktimaan was not so fit.
06:17He was a normal person.
06:19Would you like to see
06:21such a person?
06:23There is more power
06:25inside Shaktimaan
06:27than outside people.
06:29He is as strong as a yogi.
06:31His body and mind
06:33works with a yogi.
06:35He has so much power
06:37inside him
06:39that he won't feel
06:41that he is a bodybuilder.
06:43But his intentions
06:45and the way he talks
06:47will have an impact.
06:49Even big people
06:51won't know where it came from.
06:53It is not necessary
06:55that we should have
06:57an athletic Shaktimaan.
06:59We should have
07:01Shaktimaan in his look.
07:03Sir, I have a question.
07:05Mukesh sir,
07:07I have a question for you.
07:09You haven't won the Padam Shri award yet.
07:11What would you like to say about it?
07:13Which Shri?
07:15I don't believe in any Shri.
07:17I haven't won the Padam Shri
07:19but I have received so much love from you.
07:21I have received so much
07:23love and goodwill from you.
07:25I don't have the goodwill
07:27that all the actors have.
07:29I am not showing off.
07:31I have earned goodwill
07:33worth billions of rupees.
07:35The Padam Shri
07:37is not taken.
07:39The Padam Shri is not asked for.
07:41The Padam Shri is given.
07:43The day someone feels
07:45that they have to give it to me,
07:47I will still think about it.
07:49I passed a remark yesterday
07:51when I went to the birthplace
07:53of Chandrashekhar Azad.
07:55I told the press
07:57that the Bharat Ratna award
07:59should be given to Chandrashekhar Azad.
08:01This will be the pride
08:03of Bharat Ratna
08:05and not of Chandrashekhar Azad.
08:07I can't decide
08:09whether I get the award
08:11or I can't ask for it.
08:13I have a question about a song.
08:15The song you just heard
08:17is about children.
08:19I feel that not only the children
08:21but also the elders
08:23need to know about our revolution.
08:25Will the new song
08:27be about them?
08:29In a way,
08:31the children's slate is empty.
08:33I told them to add Sanskrit
08:35from the 6th grade.
08:37Lord Macaulay
08:39added English in the 6th grade
08:41in 1835.
08:43We are still studying in the same
08:45class.
08:47We can't teach the elders.
08:49Their brains are jammed.
08:51I told them to add Gita in the 6th grade.
08:53Someone told me
08:55that if we add Gita
08:57in the 6th grade,
08:59what will the children
09:01understand?
09:03I told them that
09:05they will ask their parents
09:07about it.
09:09They will ask their friends
09:11about it.
09:13This is the way
09:15you will teach Gita to everyone.
09:17It is the most essential element of today.
09:19Gita teaches us how to live life.
09:21It is a pity that
09:23we watch different films
09:25and read literature.
09:27We don't read Vedas, Puranas, Upanishads,
09:29Ramayana or Mahabharata.
09:31Read it.
09:33Sir, the children of today
09:35stay away from their parents
09:37and great men.
09:39In the story of
09:41Shaktimaan,
09:43can we see
09:45a message through acting
09:47so that the children
09:49get closer to their parents?
09:51Your first question is
09:53that the children of today
09:55stay away from their parents.
09:57I am repeating that
09:59the children of today
10:01have become friends with Google.
10:03They don't ask their parents
10:05or teachers.
10:07They ask Google
10:09to teach them.
10:11We have to prepare them.
10:13Singing is the most
10:15sweet medium
10:17to teach.
10:19We will teach them
10:21through dialogues, books and stories.
10:23But a beautiful song
10:25will enter your mind.
10:27The knowledge that we want to give
10:29is not only for the children.
10:31Let this become
10:33very popular.
10:35The education of revolutionaries
10:37should be in school books.
10:39Our history is written
10:41by outsiders, not us.
10:43We are taught about the Mughal family
10:45but not about Jhansi.
10:47We write about Mother Teresa
10:49but not about Jhansi.
10:51Why? Because the syllabus
10:53is made by outsiders.
10:55Today's education system
10:57should be totally revamped.
10:59Go to Gurukul.
11:01Teach the teachings of Gurukul.
11:03Even if you teach in your rooms.
11:05You don't have to sit.
11:07You can teach in Gurukul.
11:09A 13-year-old child
11:11becomes self-sufficient.
11:13He can sew clothes.
11:15Mobile phones are
11:17the biggest invention of this century.
11:19But the most...
11:21Stop all the connections
11:23of mobile phones.
11:25You will have to learn
11:27everything by yourself.
11:29You will start living a physical life.
11:31You are living in an artificial world.
11:33Sir...
11:39Yes, tell me.
11:41Silence, please.
11:47Look, a parent
11:49should have the courage
11:51to teach his child
11:53in Japan
11:55till 4th grade.
11:57He is taught
11:59how to respect elders.
12:01That's why Japanese people
12:03learn how to respect elders.
12:05China has shut down
12:07Google.
12:09We can't shut it down.
12:11We don't have the courage.
12:13We are only getting
12:15Rajasthani texts.
12:17Look, where is the youth going?
12:19Mr. Modi says that when our country
12:21will be established after 25 years,
12:23it will be the most youthful country.
12:25Sir, I want to know
12:27how powerful and
12:29strong our country will be.
12:31Can anyone see that?
12:33In today's education,
12:35a 25-year-old child
12:37will be like this.
12:39Your country will also be like this.
12:41Because of physical activities.
12:43There are no activities,
12:45no teachings, no yoga,
12:47no games.
12:49A child plays video games.
12:51We used to beat the police.
12:53We used to get sun.
12:55Sir, I want to know.
12:57Will you fight the elections?
13:01Sir, 25 years ago,
13:03Mr. Nakvi told me.
13:05I used to campaign for BJP.
13:07From Vajpayee, Advani,
13:09Sushma Samraj,
13:11I campaigned for everyone.
13:13It's been three years.
13:15I'm talking about 2000.
13:17At that time, Mr. Nakvi said,
13:19don't you think about yourself?
13:21I said I don't want a ticket.
13:23I'm doing a lot as Shaktimaan.
13:25What would you like to say about Padamshree?
13:27You can take Padamshree on my behalf.
13:29I have no interest in taking Padamshree.
13:33My name is also above Shaktimaan Padamshree.
13:35Because I think for others.
13:37Padamshree is just a thing to hang.
13:39You are Padamshree.
13:41Someone told me once,
13:43Sir, you are Padamshree.
13:45I said I won't lobby.
13:47Sir, you don't have to do anything.
13:49Just say yes.
13:51I said, what is yes?
13:53After doing everything,
13:55after everything happened,
13:57I realized that I am sitting quietly.
13:59Even the President said that
14:01Mukesh should get Padamshree.
14:03But I didn't get it.
14:05I have no complaints.
14:07Who didn't give me Padamshree?
14:09I have no complaints.
14:11But do you think
14:13if I get Padamshree,
14:15my stature will increase?
14:17I don't think so.
14:19Sir, what is the reason
14:21why India didn't get
14:23Shaktimaan Padamshree?
14:25Indian super hero.
14:27I think you are tired.
14:29Hey, I am asking the person behind.
14:31Stop it.
14:33I think you are tired.
14:35You are more tired than me.
14:37I have been saying for the last one hour.
14:39So, you are not interested in anyone.
14:41You are talking to each other.
14:43Sir, I have a question.
14:45Your last question.
14:47What is it?
14:49Sir, you haven't made
14:51any other super hero.
14:53When I made Shaktimaan,
14:55there was a kid in my house.
14:57He used to take
14:59550 Gia Joe toys
15:01in his bucket
15:03and used to bathe him.
15:05His mother used to tell him to hurry up
15:07because the school bus is coming.
15:09I said, where is our super hero?
15:11He is a foreign super hero.
15:13And then we made Shaktimaan.
15:15After Shaktimaan, I waited for 4 years.
15:17I asked director Dinkar Jani
15:19to make someone else.
15:21No one came.
15:23I thought there were
15:25junior versions.
15:27But no one made a super hero.
15:29We said, let's make one more.
15:31We made Aryaman.
15:33It was based on Star Wars.
15:35Let's make Brahman.
15:37But after that,
15:39no one made a super hero.
15:41Because it is a hard work.
15:43You have to hang on a wire for 5 minutes.
15:45You have to spend a lot of money.
15:47We didn't make a super hero.
15:49Krrish is becoming a super hero.
15:53But it is still taking time
15:55to become Shaktimaan.
15:57No one has made a super hero yet.
15:59I want 5-7 more super heroes
16:01to come here.
16:03And we should have
16:055-7 super heroes
16:07who play with each other.
16:09But it will take time.
16:11Who will be Shaktimaan?
16:13Who will be Shaktimaan?
16:15It is forbidden to ask this question.
16:17In your opinion, who will be Shaktimaan?
16:19If it was in my opinion,
16:21I would have already released it.
16:35Repeat it.
16:37Ranveer Singh is the
16:39most successful actor.
16:41You made him sit for 2.5 hours.
16:43Why don't you want him to sit?
16:45Sir, I didn't make him sit for 2.5 hours.
16:47I didn't make him sit.
16:49Let me answer.
16:51He is actually ridiculing me
16:53that why did I make him sit for 2.5 hours.
16:55Sir, who told you that I made him sit?
16:57He came to my office.
16:59He is a terrific actor.
17:01But who will be Shaktimaan?
17:03I will decide that.
17:05See, producers
17:07cast actors.
17:09Actors don't cast producers.
17:11He came to my office and said
17:13that he wants to be Shaktimaan.
17:15It is not allowed.
17:17But I respected him.
17:19He still wants to be Shaktimaan.
17:21But he is a big actor.
17:23We don't need a big or small actor for Shaktimaan.
17:25We need a face for Shaktimaan.
17:27Shaktimaan should look like Shaktimaan.
17:29Why didn't Prithviraj Shohan
17:31look like Akshay Kumar?
17:33Tell me.
17:35He shaved his moustache.
17:37Prithviraj Shohan is a gate.
17:39Prithviraj Shohan is a gate.
17:41You should get up.
17:43Sir, who do you see as Shaktimaan?
17:45I will make you Shaktimaan.
17:47Come to my office.
17:49Thank you, sir.
17:51The title song of the song
17:53is going to be a trend from tomorrow.
17:55Congratulations.
17:57Applause.
17:59Very nice.
18:01Silence.
18:03Silence.
18:05I am happy.
18:07I am happy doing this.
18:09I am happy
18:11coming back as Shaktimaan.
18:13I am happy
18:15in spite of
18:17people asking when will
18:19Shaktimaan film come.
18:21I made this song.
18:23This is because
18:25today's kids need these things.
18:27This song is good.
18:29Very good.
18:31I am happy as Shaktimaan.
18:33I made this for kids.
18:35We will make
18:37four more.
18:39This is a puzzle.
18:41Thank you very much.
