00:00First of all, thank you very much for inviting me here.
00:05It was a great pleasure to work with the legendary Sanjadath.
00:09And I am playing Sanjadath himself in the film.
00:13But I am not revealing the whole story what I am going to play.
00:16I would, like I really appreciate if you go to the theatres and watch the film.
00:22And then of course we can talk about it.
00:25The overall personality of course, like it's not really easy to portray Sanjadath.
00:38Like it looks easy when you are not in front of the camera.
00:41But when you start acting in front of the camera at Sanjadath,
00:46you have to have a lot of guts to portray him.
00:50So it was a difficult part, but I had my like learning you can say,
00:57like my director and everyone they supported me to get into the character
01:01and how we can make it as closer to the Sanjadath.
01:06If you talk about the walk and expression and everything.
01:11So we had work on it really, really hard and we achieved whatever we could
01:17in terms of closing, getting close to the Sanjadath.
01:20Yes.
01:21As a professional actor, she's wonderful.
01:35She's a wonderful costar.
01:37She made me feel very easy on the set while doing the scene as well.
01:42I'm not revealing what we are doing in the scene, in the film.
01:47But as a costar, as an actor, as a human being, she's just wonderful.
01:52I appreciate what she does and how she behaves on the set
01:57and how she keeps the environment lively while shooting also while on screen and off screen.
02:03Again, even with Tara Sutaria, like I was doing my second film, which was Hero Panthi 2.
02:18And I paired with the I got paired with the Tara Sutaria.
02:23And even with her, like even that time I was little hesitated inside that maybe she won't feel good if I touch her hand or if I do the scene entering in her own space.
02:39But again, she's also a great actress.
02:42She's very professional.
02:43She never made me feel that, okay, she can't let me enter in her own space.
02:50But again, I had a great time shooting with her as well.
02:53Yes, of course, we prepare the scene.
03:07If it is a difficult scene, the whole team, even the director, righto sit together and we discuss the scene.
03:14How are you going to do, of course, before rolling, we discuss about it.
03:19How are you going to do it?
03:20Because film is a any kind of a film or any project in film industry.
03:26It's very technical.
03:28You have to discuss everything.
03:29What are you going to do?
03:30Because the camera has to move in certain ways so that they can capture the proper emotion and the scenes that the main nature out of it.
03:41So, of course, we discussed all the scenes before we before rolling the camera.

07:37I would love to play the Sanjadath again in the whole horror comedy film again.
07:44In a horror movie, are you the first guy or the final survivor?
07:49Final survivor, obviously.
07:52If acting didn't work out, what's plan B?
07:55No plan B.
07:56And it's better not to be a moment.
07:58See, I'm an actor and a businessman as well.
08:01I'm selling my whatever I have the qualities as an actor.
08:06And of course, we have my business also.
08:09So I'm running both simultaneously and it's going quite well.
08:13Let's talk about the Starnix set.
08:16Of course.
08:17Yes.
08:18Oh, that's what I was talking about.
08:19I have business.
08:20Yes, please.
08:21So Starnix, it's an app.
08:27Basically, it's a community we are building around this film industry where all the artists can be on the same platform.
08:35Even the casting directors and the production houses.
08:38There are a lot more functions coming like master classes, influencer marketing.
08:42There are a lot more things are coming.
08:44Right now we are open with the audition part because that's the more difficult part of the industry to find the right casting at right place with the right people.
08:54It's super difficult.
08:55I can see myself.
08:57It's been more than 10 years.
08:58Like it's 10 years now.
08:59And I can say that every casting director can't remember you.
09:04It's not possible only.
09:05And even they say like our taxes, like we got hundreds of thousands of taxes every day.
09:11We can't reply each and every one.
09:13It's not possible only.
09:14So we are steaming line this casting process and lot more different areas of this film industry where you go through a KYC process.
09:25You get on the app and then you start working on it.
09:28You just apply on just one tap.
09:31Your profile will go to the customer.
09:33You just simply reach out to those people.
09:35You don't have to keep sending emails or WhatsApp messages now.
09:38It's the revolution for the process of casting right now in this film industry.
09:44And it is happening through Starnext app.
09:47And even I myself as an actor, I'm using the app.
09:50I'm applying every day whatever the casting is going on.
09:53And it's super easy.
09:54Trust me.
09:55I think this is the future of the industry.
09:58And it is changing the process drastically.
10:01I think everyone should join it.
10:03How many times are you taking the time out of your business and the power of the company?
10:07How much are you being able to do this work?
10:08How much do you find out of your business?
10:10How much are you doing this work?
10:11How much do you see these experiences for you?
10:12How much are you operating in your business?
10:14How much should you plan to work on these things
10:17or even if you're doing some work on these things?
10:19How much the responsibility can you share?
10:22See, I started with films. If I could talk about how difficult it was, I think that if I could not know my work, it would be difficult for me.
10:33What I was doing, I had to groom you slowly, and I realized what is acting, and what demands are in the industry as an actor.
10:43Every industry has different demands of what you have to do and accept the audience. If you know the difference, you have to start a shortlist.
10:58The job is a different game. You have to choose one person from thousands of people who are selected for the perfect role.
11:07It is not necessary that you are a bad actor. There is nothing like that. But in this industry, you have to do patience.
11:15I think that I had to understand from starting to start.
11:18It was a good time, a good part in my life, that I started with modeling.
11:24It was a difficult struggle. I had to understand how much money will come from.
11:34I think that I had to reach a step. I am also doing a film. I am also doing a lot of work.
11:40I am doing a lot of work. I am doing a lot of work. I didn't feel difficult.
11:44I was sleeping on a marine drive. I didn't have anything. But today, I think that I am a human being able to do it.
11:52But at that time, I was living a lot of work. I didn't see anything from that.
11:57So, for me, it was a very easy thing that I have been able to achieve.
12:02And I enjoy every step on every step.
12:05How do you see the transition? How do you see the transition from the TV and film?
12:14I have told you that I had started with a film.
12:17I had made the TV in shock.
12:19I mean, I had made it on my choices.
12:21Even with the stars, I had a call directly from the stars.
12:25And my freelancer was released.
12:28I had a lot of experience.
12:30I had connected with all the points.
12:33And I have did it before.
12:35But I had to have experienced it in one's life.
12:37How extreme that you are breaking yourself.
12:41You have daily script.
12:43You have to shoot it on your daily.
12:45That was great to me.
12:47And even, I always say,
12:49once you do a TV,
12:51After you start a career,
12:53You have to have time for one time.
12:56It was a great journey, shifting back into the
13:25world.
13:26I was here.
13:27I was doing a film.
13:28I was doing a web series.
13:29It was a great experience for me to do the TV part as well.
13:36Sir, last question.
13:38There is a question about the conversation with Shah Rukh Khan and Ajay Devon.
13:43So how did you talk about it and what can you share with us at this stage?
13:47See, I didn't talk directly from them, but I approached the casting side and the production
13:53side of me directly approached me.
13:56Obviously, I can't say anything.
14:00It's finger crossed right now.
14:02But we are in talking terms with the production houses and the casting people.
14:10But I am considered opposite.
14:13Like Shah Rukh Khan in King and Ajay Devon sir's other films.
14:20But for me, it's a very big thing that I am going to consider it there.
14:25It's a very big achievement for me to get registered and see them as well.
14:42Sir, last thing I am going to mention is the chant of the fans.
14:49Our film is coming on the 18th April.
14:53Please, go to the theaters.
14:59Even Sanjadat sir is doing the first horror comedy.
