00:00First time, I mean, I was given a shot in Bad Boy to dance, in the film, yes, I mean,
00:14in a large scale, both of us together, we both don't have any shot, no, this is a part
00:22of the film, the first, should I say something?
00:26So, the story of the film is back and forth, so in my era, there are no scenes of dad
00:32and in dad's era, there are no scenes of me.
00:34I was not able to believe that Vivek sir has given me such a serious and intense role,
00:40but it was his conviction, it was dad's belief that I can pull this off, so it was
00:45an extraordinary experience and I feel that Delhi Files has been my finest experience
00:50so far in a film.
00:51Ma'am, aunties, it's an understatement, I was shooting Bad Boy in Russia, I was the
00:56hero of that film, dad came to give the company, 18-19 year old woman chasing him, I have taken
01:02selfies and said, brother, you will be the hero at home, he is the legend, I have taken
01:07selfies on his behalf, so as they always say, father is father, let it be.
01:12I don't know, it's maybe God's blessings, how is it possible, fourth generation or
01:19fifth generation young girls are falling in love with me, I will tell you an experience,
01:26my daughter called me from America and she said, dad, there is a 19 year old girl,
01:34she sent a photo of him, very cute looking and she said, don't feel bad, but I want
01:42to marry your father, but don't think that way, but I want to marry him, because my grandmother
01:52tried, she couldn't, then the mother tried, then the mother tried, and I have promised
01:58anyhow, I will marry your father, but not that way, but please say yes and give my message,
02:06so what to say, I think it's God's miracle, it's not possible that fifth generation people
02:14are loving me, not loving me, absolutely mad about me.
02:18See, there are fan letters that I can't even say, but I want to keep them in my heart,
02:27not in paper, but in my heart, what to say, two girls came to my hotel from Turkey,
02:35so after a long time, my general manager told me, there are two girls who want to meet you,
02:41I said ok, we are from Turkey, we are two sisters, and this is my elder sister, we have
02:49come only to say that my elder sister wants to marry you, and if we don't marry, then
02:56she will do something beyond.
02:59I got scared, I said this is dangerous, then I talked to both of them, his elder sister
03:06told me that ok, let's do this, next time I will come to Turkey and I will manage something,
03:13this doesn't happen in our religion, you do anything, otherwise my sister will do something,
03:20somehow I managed and sent them, and then after one year they came again, I said now
03:29nothing can happen, so I said ok, I told my wife, Pinky, Pinky this is the situation,
03:38what to do, so I went to her, I said ok, do whatever you want, so she gave me a ring,
03:47I wore it, I gave her a ring, so we hugged, we said ok, we are married, then I will come
03:54to Turkey and settle down there, but you go back, but now time passed, now she is laughing
04:01at it, because naturally there was a crush fulfilled, and then she is married, she is
04:08happily married.
04:38He understands me, even I understand him very clearly, and whenever there is a shot, he
04:47comes to me, he tells me this is my scene, and then he says, now you understand, and
04:54then he leaves, so now you understand, what does it mean, he is so confident, they have
05:00understood, and I will play, that kind of relation I have with him, and I think he is
05:07one of the finest directors in India today.
05:37He researches so much, because research is such a pinpoint, you can't run away from it,
05:58Vivek speaks the truth, through the film it comes, then you connect, oh my god, so
06:15it's about the Noah Khali massacre, and everybody read it, everybody knows it, and that's
06:26relating to the film today, that is the best part about the film.
06:56If you say the truth is propaganda, what can you do?
07:00This is the truth, when you watch the film, you will feel this is the truth, so how can
07:07you call it propaganda?
07:09Because now it is being released, that's why.
07:13Every film of Vivek has a message, because that person does so much research, so deeply
07:25research, which you haven't heard.
07:29I have a question for you, the partition of India, can you tell how many people did it?
07:41Nobody, right?
07:43Nobody knows?
07:46See, this is the truth, this is the man's, so much education, so much thinking, so much
07:53deep, this partition, in a small table in Delhi, 8 people sat down and partitioned India.
08:06This is not we the people, we the people.
08:11There are 4 pillars, we talk about 3 pillars every time.
08:16One is right to truth, right to justice, right to live, we all know these 3.
08:24And the fourth pillar?
08:26The fourth pillar is we the people.
08:30Nobody cares for us.
08:32We forget.
08:34Why do we forget?
08:36Because we don't need it.
08:38But we need you.
08:41This is Delhi Files.
08:44You have to need us, you need us, so I am playing the conscience of the society to tell you.
08:55You need us, we the people, the important, more important.
08:59The reaction of the truth is different, the reaction of the lie is different.
09:04In the reaction of the truth, either you will be silent, or you will clap.
09:09And in the reaction of the lie, you will not clap, and you will start another propaganda of it.
09:18You will write something else in social media to make it a lie.
09:22But who knows the actual truth?
09:24It is impossible.
09:27Quite frankly, I was unaware.
09:29And I am ashamed to be unaware.
09:31And I feel this film will unfold a lot of truths.
09:34Very uncomfortable and heart-breaking truths.
09:38So when I read this script, I was shocked.
09:41I am like, this actually happened.
09:43And then I researched my character, what all happened.
09:45All of it is actually true.
09:47So this film is an eye-opener, not only for those who have lived in that era,
09:51but even for us, who are living in this era.
09:53I think it's a very relevant film, even though it deals with issues that happened decades back.
09:59I think it's going to really stir a lot of people emotionally.
10:02Vivek doesn't leave any space to give input.
10:07In Vivek's storytelling, everything happens.
10:12You have to understand.
10:15My character is very, very difficult.
10:17I can't say this much.
10:19Because, you know, there should be some intrigue.
10:23My character is the most difficult character in the film.
10:27But on the 26th, there is going to be a clip.
10:31With that, you will understand what this character wants to say.
10:35What is the society we are living in?
10:38And what we should do for us?
10:41And as you said, our input.
10:44What will our input be?
10:46But Vivek, should I wear the wig of this character?
10:51He said, no, brother, do it in your own hair.
10:54So I'm happy.
10:56Because I really hate wearing wigs.
10:58So there are such small things.
11:02If you look at my career,
11:04when I was a superstar, I did Parallel Cinema.
11:08When I was the number one superstar, I did Tahdir Kota.
11:13Then I did Ramakrishna Paramhansa.
11:15Both national awards.
11:17So leave me alone.
11:19I am like this.
11:21Suddenly I break myself and go somewhere.
11:24And then I come back.
11:26But in today's date,
11:28people want to see more characters than heroes.
11:33You are thinking that you will come and sing a song or two.
11:38That movie will not run.
11:40That hero will have to become a character.
11:43Like us, like someone.
11:45You know?
11:47That connection must have.
11:49So in today's date, the movie that Vivek is making,
11:52the audience easily accepts.
11:54That's why they do it.
11:55What was there to see Kashmir Fights?
11:57These four old men.
11:59Their clips.
12:01Then after watching it,
12:05what a mouth.
12:07What a hit.
12:11So that's why this is the content of the subject that people will love.
12:16This is the character what you play that will love.
12:19They will connect.
12:21So yesterday's thing, today's thing is that,
12:24but today's thing is a little different.
12:27That's it.
12:28I am a very practical person.
12:31With time, I have also changed.
12:36With time.
12:38I know that people will laugh at me for being a disco dancer.
12:42Right?
12:43So with my age,
12:45I have also changed myself.
12:48Today, even at this age, the movie is a hit.
12:51Now see, I am Prajapati in Bengali.
12:54Now a child.
12:55Blockbuster.
12:56I played the role of this age.
12:58I played the role of this age in Prajapati.
13:00I did Kabuliwala.
13:02150 days.
13:04I went to the theater.
13:06How is it possible?
13:08So who is it?
13:09This is the character.
13:10Kabuliwala is not a dancing Afghani.
13:15So when you play a character and convincingly play,
13:18then you become a hero.
13:22So my romance is,
13:24I loved you in the beginning,
13:26I still love you.
13:28That's it.
13:30The chief editor of this film,
13:35I took some photos during the Kashmir file.
13:39I am sitting in the mood.
13:41The sky is like this.
13:45And it looks like Bhagwan Rajneesh.
13:50And I have also been offered,
13:53to play Bhagwan.
13:56But nothing is bigger.
13:58Because it will take 5-6 years to make the film.
14:02But you are not wrong.
14:04It has been,
14:07even Vivek wants to make the same Osho.
14:11Because Vivek wants me to play,
14:14some other person came there.
14:17I said it's not easy.
14:18I may be playing.
14:19When you say yes,
14:21then everything comes.
14:22It's a very big society.
14:24Osho has still living,
14:26he is a living God still.
14:28With his followers.
14:30So it's not that easy.
14:33But what you said,
14:34people say that I look like Osho.
14:38But he is a great man.
14:41So all my respect.
14:43Look,
14:44I speak as much as I want to.
14:47As a father,
14:48as an actor,
14:50when this role comes and tells me something,
14:52then I say,
14:53how to get into the character.
14:56In this role,
14:57what you have to do,
14:58to get into this character.
15:01Follow it.
15:02Then leave it,
15:03keep it behind your back,
15:05and go to the set.
15:07Do not anticipate and play.
15:10Then it will become,
15:12worst acting.
15:14It will become,
15:15as it happens,
15:16you are told,
15:17say the dialogue,
15:18say the dialogue.
15:20So you will become a bad actor.
15:22Just follow your instinct.
15:25I speak as much as I want to.
15:26I don't speak beyond that.
15:28Rest,
15:29everyone wants their son to be better than me.
15:33But I don't think he can do it.
15:35So many,
15:36so many awards,
15:38it will be difficult to cross.
15:40I think.
15:41I also feel that,
15:43you mentioned 80s films,
15:45if you see a film like Pushpa 2,
15:48which is the biggest hit,
15:50it is a 1980s film by Mithun Chakraborty and Amitabh Bachchan.
15:54So they are evergreen heroes.
15:56If you look at the character,
15:57the graph of the hero,
15:59the same character,
16:00even today,
16:01new heroes are playing.
16:02And you are saying,
16:03I am their competition.
16:04What are you saying?
16:06Will you kill the child?
16:07My journey,
16:08journey is a miracle.
16:11My journey,
16:13first of all,
16:14from where I am coming,
16:17to where I am going,
16:19it is a miracle.
16:21To get an award is a miracle.
16:23Sitting here today is a miracle.
16:27To get the highest award of a film is also a miracle.
16:30I will not be able to tell my journey.
16:32I think it is,
16:34the God I pray,
16:37I think he has,
16:39given a lot of pain in my life.
16:40My life is not a bed of roses.
16:44I have been through a lot of pain.
16:49So I think God has said,
16:51go,
16:52I will return everything to you with interest.
16:56That is why Dada has given me this award.
16:58Whether you believe it or not,
17:00it is the stars,
17:01governing everybody.
17:04It is their power.
17:05It is the magnetic field that is governing us.
17:09So you become the chosen one.
17:13That's it.
17:14But you cannot go out of this boundary.
17:17This is my belief.
17:18You don't believe, don't believe.
17:19But my belief.
