00:00Love your country, that means you have to revolve around modern love.
00:03So, do you think today's generation is too confused about relationship?
00:08No, why would you say that? No, I don't really think so.
00:10I think people are little more sorted nowadays compared to...
00:15If I can say, my generation, because yes, there is a little generation gap, but...
00:21I don't think so. I have big boys also, my sons, who are 16 and 19 years old.
00:27I think they are more sorted in terms of relationships and...
00:31There is a lot of clarity in them. There was no clarity 20 years ago.
00:36So, I don't think people are confused. I don't know, these guys are little younger.
00:38They will tell you whether you all are confused.
00:40Here, brother. Answer in descending order. Age.
00:43Oh, really?
00:45So, I was born yesterday. So, no.
00:49Today's generation is very cut-to-cut. I feel they are very clear with what they want.
00:53And they tell us what they want and what they don't want.
00:57If you want to do it, then tell us. Otherwise, we don't want to waste time.
01:00So, I think they are very clear, which is a good thing also and a bad thing also.
01:04Otherwise, last time...
01:07Why everything?
01:08Because sometimes, it should go naturally.
01:11It should go with the course, go with the flow, go with the organic.
01:15That should also be a relation.
01:18Otherwise, everything has become very materialistic also in between.
01:23I mean, everyone sees how famous he is or what he does, etc.
01:28But, in the earlier times, you still have that love and that humility and warmth.
01:35So, this is one thing. That's the difference, I feel.
01:40Two answers, brother.
01:41No, I think the newer generation like us, we are clear about what we want.
01:46But, because there are so many options for everything.
01:49Like, in our film also, we have options for everything.
01:52For people, we have options. For food, we have options.
01:55For vacations, we have so many options.
01:58So, there is a little confusion because there are so many options.
02:00But still, I think the new generation is very clear about their demands and boundaries.
02:04So, it's going well.
02:06These days, I feel that people are okay with love and all.
02:11Give him back the mic.
02:15Talking about love, it sounds like a fun take on love and relationship.
02:19So, how is it different from typical rom-coms?
02:25Typical rom-coms, obviously, dwell on two people falling in love with each other.
02:32And how they fight for their love and move forward.
02:35Here, technology has been kept ahead.
02:40And technology brings so many ups and downs in your life.
02:44So, this is not something that happens in all rom-coms.
02:46So, yeah, that's how it's different.
02:48But obviously, the bottom line being,
02:49trust, faith, belief and the love between two people
02:53comes back to its original place.
02:57So, yeah, like that, it's a love story.
03:00But yeah, technology is what differentiates it from other rom-coms.
03:04There are many different rom-coms.
03:05I like rom-coms a lot.
03:06So, I like it a lot when there are light-hearted conversations between two people in love.
03:11Cute, flirty texts and all that.
03:14In our film, there's a lot of tension between technology and Sethu.
03:19So, it's a very different type of rom-com.
03:22It's a fast-paced rom-com.
03:23You'll see that a lot of things are happening.
03:25And the story is moving very fast.
03:28Watch the film, please.
03:31This question is very difficult for me.
03:32Because I won't be able to answer it.
03:34But it's a big deal what problems arise due to technology.
03:38In those days, phones and mobiles weren't available.
03:42In today's date, if someone finds out from your Instagram
03:46that my friend has broken up or his relationship is going well,
03:49so, technology has advanced a lot these days.
03:52So, it matters a lot.
03:54So, I'll give you the answer later.
03:57The film is about today's love.
04:00So, it is very new.
04:01And you'll know how it is by watching it.
04:04Yes, you should watch it.
04:05It's very...
04:06What do you call it?
04:07Lame-dame.
04:08No, no, no.
04:10Okay, leave it.
04:12The trailer hints at romance and charm.
04:15So, who is the biggest troublemaker on set?
04:17On set?
04:18Advai Chandan, the director.
04:19The most troublemaker, most prankster.
04:21He makes fun of everyone.
04:23He spreads rumours about everyone.
04:24He has spread rumours about all of us.
04:26He has told something to someone on set and told something to someone else.
04:28He directs himself very well.
04:29But when he is off-camera, he only makes fun.
04:32He doesn't do anything else.
04:33I don't know. I agree with him.
04:34He is the cutest guy on the planet.
04:36And he is quite a prankster also.
04:37So, yes, it's Advai Chandan.
04:42Because you have known for your impractical photography,
04:45how much of your work is scripted versus improvised?
04:49No, no, no.
04:50So, as far as improvisations are concerned,
04:53we don't improvise in this film.
04:57We improvise to the extent where
04:59I and the director or the writer have discussed
05:03how we should approach this scene.
05:05And if we don't say these things,
05:06instead of saying these things,
05:07if we just do this gesture or say this thing,
05:10then we have done all these discussions before shooting.
05:12So, you can call it improvisation or discussion or whatever.
05:15So, we have cleared these things.
05:17But on set, I always feel that
05:21if something is well-written,
05:22then if you translate that well-written thing,
05:26that is enough.
05:27Then you don't have to do anything else.
05:31Because the topic that is so beautifully written,
05:34that should just come on the screen.
05:35So, that is what we have done.
05:37But yes, I am saying that it is so well-written
05:40that there was no need to do anything further.
05:52For us, it was a very good experience.
05:54We were very happy to work with such great people.
05:58Ashutosh ji is also there in the film.
06:00And Gurusha ji is there.
06:02And Kiku sir is there.
06:04And Khushi Kapoor is there.
06:06And Junaid bhai is there.
06:07So, this was the first experience.
06:10So, it was very good to work with them.
06:12They kept us very comfortable.
06:14No one made us feel that we are new or whatever.
06:18So, it was very good.
06:19So, it was good.
06:21No, it was a very good experience.
06:22I come from the background of stand-up comedy.
06:23So, you get the reaction of the joke we make.
06:27For the first time, I felt that
06:28I made a joke on a film shoot 3-4 months ago.
06:31And people are laughing at it now.
06:32So, that was very nice.
06:34Apart from that, the experience of shooting was very good.
06:37Adwit bhai did a very good set run.
06:39And he used to make everyone laugh with camaraderie.
06:43He used to sit with everyone and have fun.
06:45So, it was very nice.
06:46Like sharing shoot timings with Kiku sir.
06:49We have a scene with him.
06:50We don't have a scene with Ashutosh sir.
06:52But Ashutosh Rana's name in the same cast
06:54is a privilege for us.
06:56And as I always say,
06:57we have done such a great job in Gurusha.
06:59You will see.
07:01Tanvika has done such a great job.
07:02Devishini has done such a great job.
07:03Eunice is with us.
07:04She has done a great job.
07:05Both of them.
07:06So, the overall cast enjoyed it so much.
07:08The film is good.
07:10But we enjoyed it a lot.
07:21No, but his humour is very different.
07:23You watch the film.
07:24There are some very hilarious moments.
07:27And there is no slapstick anywhere.
07:29But each to his own.
07:31I always say that
07:32there are so many doors to comedy.
07:35Now, this stand-up world,
07:37when I started,
07:38this world didn't exist.
07:40It didn't exist.
07:41Now, this is such a big world.
07:42So, I feel very good to see
07:44that there are so many more avenues.
07:46And as far as you are making people laugh,
07:48you are doing a good job.
07:50You are doing it through this or that.
07:52Who laughs at what?
07:53But the more doors you open to laugh,
07:55that is such a good thing.
07:56Make people laugh.
07:57It's a good thing.
07:59So, yeah.
08:00But this film, as I said,
08:01is quite different.
08:03It's funny in its moments.
08:05But when it comes to its topic
08:07and when it wants to touch you,
08:09then it touches you.
08:11So, you will get to know
08:12when you watch the film.
08:21What? OTT is killing the...
08:26No, I just feel that
08:27when both are going hand-in-hand,
08:29it's better because
08:31it also opens up
08:33doors for actors like us.
08:36And we get a platform to perform.
08:41So, I feel that
08:44OTT is also killing the thing
08:47and also your theatre is killing it.
08:49So, both should go hand-in-hand.
08:52And as soon as the theatre ends,
08:54OTT comes in.
08:55So, I think both need life support.
09:07That's what I just said.
09:09I don't think so.
09:11I just feel that
09:13the big budget comedies
09:15that used to be made earlier
09:16are being made even today.
09:17I mean, you can see
09:19that the next part of Housefull is being made.
09:21Hera Pheri is being made.
09:22Welcome is being made.
09:23So, that's also going on all over the world.
09:25But I'm saying,
09:26this is a welcome change.
09:28Like, it's a new avenue
09:31and it's so beautiful to see
09:33you know, these guys,
09:35like a lot of stand-ups doing so well.
09:37And I see that
09:39Housefull shows are happening abroad,
09:41in big theatres.
09:42I mean, shows are literally happening in stadiums.
09:44And there's so much crowd coming to watch.
09:47So, it feels good to see that.
09:48That's what I feel.
09:50That comedy used to be
09:52a bit of a niche before.
09:54I mean, these limited films,
09:56either action films
09:58or whatever,
09:59comedies started once.
10:01Like the whole Govinda, Akshay Kumar,
10:03this thing.
10:04And it feels really good
10:06that they still exist.
10:07Along with that,
10:08another world of stand-up has started.
10:10And like I said,
10:11the more people can make us laugh,
10:12the more we should make them laugh.
10:13That's what I'm happy about.
10:21What?
10:22Who forgets lines in themselves?
10:24We don't even have that many.
10:29We forget lines because
10:30we don't have lines.
10:32No, no, lines are…
10:34No, no, I'm kidding.
10:36Who forgets lines?
10:37No, I don't think so.
10:38No one forgets lines.
10:39We are very professional actors.
10:45Yuktam.
10:46Yes, Yuktam.
10:47Yuktam also has a role.
10:48Good that they didn't talk about me.
10:50He used to flirt with Khushi.
10:52And he used to say
10:53that I'm preparing for a role.
10:56Who is most likely to crack jokes
10:58during emotional scenes?
10:59This is Nikhil.
11:00Sometimes I do it.
11:02No, no, there was also Yunus in it.
11:04No, Yunus…
11:05You crack jokes on Yunus.
11:07Okay, who is most likely to take
11:09the most retakes?
11:10Most retakes?
11:11Again, we…
11:12We won't be able to tell.
11:16Understood?
11:17No, no.
11:19Who is most likely to have
11:20a secret crush on a poster?
11:23Our radio is married.
11:24I don't have one here.
11:25His name is Yusuf.
11:26He is married.
11:27We don't have any posters around us.
11:30No, no, I'm not lying.
11:31We had the same scene with Khushi.
11:33Which we don't know.
11:34We won't be able to tell.
11:37Okay, Kikunji,
11:38I want to ask you
11:39to give us one minute to describe.
11:43Umm…
