00:00The cast and director of the Bollywood film Raja Natwarlal are in town to promote the

00:18movie.

00:19Bollywood star Imran Hashmi and Pakistani actress Humayma Malik, together with film

00:23director Kunal Deshmukh, face the media to answer questions about the crime comedy film.

00:29Described by the cast as a romantic comedy, Raja Natwarlal features Hashmi playing a small-time

00:34conman looking for his big break until his friend gets murdered.

00:38He searches for vengeance, then sees him lock horns with a big-time gangster, leading him

00:43to plan the biggest scam of his life.

00:46The comedy will also see the Bollywood debut of Malik, best known for her role in the acclaimed

00:502011 Urdu film Bul.

00:52The tabloid talked to the stars about their roles and their experiences filming the movie.

01:22Were you hesitant when it comes to the skin show, as you say, on how it will be accepted

01:36in your country?

01:37I didn't show that much of skin.

01:39It's not something that these other actresses doesn't do on Bollywood.

01:45I think it was very normal, but the culture and the country that I belong from, it wasn't

01:51that easy for me.

01:53But as an actor, I think that I should do different stuff and experience everything

01:58because I want to grow in my career and I want to experience different sort of cinemas,

02:04why not?

02:05So I think it was quite exciting, yeah.

02:08When I came to him with my first script, I'm glad that he showed faith in me and we made

02:15Jannat together.

02:16We followed that up with Tummele and then when we did Jannat 2, it was obviously us

02:22coming back together as a hit director-actor combination.

02:26With this film, it was I think more me wanting to work with him because it was my first film

02:31outside the Bhatkamp and somewhere I wanted to work with an actor that I know, that I

02:39understand, who knows my weaknesses, who understands how I work and we can together make a great

02:45film.

02:46I think this has been a film where we really both have worked equally hard, we've worked

02:53hand in hand.

02:55I think this is a film where Imran has even watched the film at the edit and he has helped

03:00me with trimming certain portions and that's the kind of support that I was looking for

03:05and you don't just create this rapport overnight, it happens over not one or two years, but

03:14maybe five or eight years and when you have such a great rapport, I don't see why I should

03:19let that go.

03:20Rajan at Warlal is also Deshmukh's first film outside of the Bhatkamp.

03:25All his previous films have been produced by Vicious Films, co-owned by director Mahesh

03:29Bhatt and his brother Mukesh.

03:32Hashmi is their nephew.
