FunTranscript
00:00First of all, tell me about the director of the story and what inspired you to tell us about the film?
00:11The director of the director of the film called me to call my actress Gurpreet Kaur Chaddha.
00:18He thought that the character I'm playing with, whose name is Gullupande, will remain apt.
00:27So, two days ago, we had a chance to get into their narration.
00:31So, they couldn't do this character in their mind.
00:36And, just as I knew about this project, I only had a phone call for the shoot.
00:46I didn't have any questions. I didn't say anything.
00:49What's happening? What's happening? What's happening? What's happening?
00:54I think they told me that you only want to play. That's all.
01:03So, I said, that's a great part. And there was a lot of parallel leads.
01:08So, I said, let's go.
01:09So, I think it sounded interesting to me. Because, when they told me that the character of the character is true.
01:16That the character of the character is true.
01:21Now, to love with the truth is a great thing.
01:25So, this is how life is meant to be, to the honest, to the fullest.
01:31So, that was one fundamental which got me instantly connected.
01:36So, I said, I'm coming right away.
01:38So, the character of the character of the character of the character of the character is so great.
01:45So, the title of the government is so great, now you will see how much of the government is working on the market.
01:55The main plot of the film is that the government is working on the market.
02:02Now, despite of skills and under the table or whatever, you know, you can see this,
02:12there are so many people who are working on the market,
02:17there are so many people who are working on the market,
02:19there are so many seats in the market,
02:22then you will give all of justice to everyone.
02:25And then you will have to keep an effort.
02:28And there are so many challenges, so many challenges,
02:30and so many things to keep in mind.
02:33So that's one thing.
02:35The child is for this,
02:37because of the film,
02:40you can take both of the things,
02:43so you can see it, you will need to know it.
02:46And I will not know all the things.
02:48So, in the set, there are some moments like that,
03:03there are some very funny moments,
03:05and there are some very sentiments.
03:08I will start with the funny moments.
03:10I am aware that the first of the film is that it is in the jungle.
03:14So there are shots in the body and body,
03:16and all of the things.
03:18What you will see in the film version,
03:20it is a very good shoot.
03:22But before I was making a very great body,
03:25so I made a body for two or three times,
03:27and once I got a re-schedulement,
03:29and it was postponed.
03:31So I was prepared.
03:33So at that time, there are six packs,
03:35and all of the things I have been very fit.
03:37I've been very fit. So neatness and all things. But when I shoot the final time,
03:44I realized that this is from U.P. and it's not from cosmopolitan city.
03:52So I let it loose. I can show my body and relax.
03:59So keeping that realistic, which is always there to play a character, you know, to the point.
04:14That was one of my mind.
04:16In that moment, the funny moment was that two artists are young,
04:24they're enjoying, they're enjoying, and you have to give the intensity of the scene.
04:29I mean, we're doing all the performance, etc.
04:31But usually, in life, in such a way,
04:34everyone doesn't work on themselves.
04:37Rappling, etc.
04:39The work of the ground doesn't work on the ground.
04:42But it was very funny.
04:44But we had to keep our intensity.
04:47Ruslan and me, we were just laughing our guts out after the take was done.
04:52And it was great fun, you know.
04:54And the second topic of sentiments was our second topic.
04:58So in our film, we were late junior Mehmud Sahib.
05:01May Allah them say, Jeannet Naseibah Sahib.
05:04I remember that in the shoot,
05:09we were a lot of scenes with them.
05:12Now, the story is that I'm looking for a girl,
05:15and my father is looking for a girl.
05:19So, this is a problem.
05:20By the way,
05:21I'm seeing a woman in the village.
05:22I'm seeing a woman in the village.
05:25It's a beautiful scene.
05:26So, this is a beautiful scene.
05:28There are many things in the village.
05:30I'm seeing a beautiful scene.
05:32When I was in the village,
05:33when I was in the village,
05:34we were among the most successful people,
05:35I was seeing a place instantly.
05:37And I've seen a lot of these.
05:38I've seen an adult.
05:40I've seen it with an artist.
05:41Every artist has seen it.
05:42And I've seen some great artists.
05:44I can't do that, but I can't do that.
05:47So, I've been there and done that.
05:50So, I've been there and done that.
05:53So, I've been doing that.
05:56But, when I work on my own work,
05:59I've made a place in my heart,
06:02so I feel like I was a very nice person.
06:05Despite of amazing actors.
06:08I've been telling myself that,
06:10this is your overall character,
06:12your human being quality.
06:14This is my notoriousness and work.
06:19This reminds me of Mahmoud and Khan.
06:23So, this is a very big comparison.
06:26This is not something, in my wildest dream,
06:30I could have ever thought.
06:32So, they say, what are you enjoying this?
06:34My first question is, what are you enjoying this?
06:36They say, no, no, generally.
06:38It's a lot of work that you're doing in the set.
06:40You're watching your take.
06:42It also helps you wellness and to make you,
06:44the performance, you know,
06:45makes you work for you.
06:46And with a co-actor.
06:47You get help and go to your career.
06:48Sometimes you find out,
06:49you get to make you learn in performance.
06:51But, it's a lot.
06:52You don't lose everything.
06:53You do not try to make you think
06:54the whole thing is better.
06:56But, it's a few people have this quality.
06:58And also, Khan would also do this.
06:59So, that's the thing.
07:01I would still be watching with you.
07:03And I also remember that it was our last meeting when we had dubbing for the film.
07:09So he was with us and I was watching him on his face.
07:13He was a little different.
07:16He was a little upset or something.
07:19It's all tick-tock.
07:21So when I was dubbing, I was especially waiting for him.
07:24Why don't you do your dubbing?
07:26I won't do anything before.
07:28So it was a big moment.
07:30It was a video captured on the Instagram story.
07:34So that is going to stay with me.
07:36So this is a big thing.
07:38These are two incidents in the film.
07:40There are also many other incidents.
07:42But these two have a lot of meaning.
07:44Sir, to your question,
07:46you've done a lot of career roles in the career.
07:50You've done a lot of career roles in the career.
07:52You've done a lot of career roles in the career.
07:54You've done a lot of career roles in the career.
07:56You've done a lot of career roles in the career.
08:02I think that's the feeling.
08:04It's my opinion.
08:06And you've done a lot of career roles in the career.
08:08You've done a lot of career roles in the career.
08:10You've done a lot of career roles in the career.
08:12Now, the role of the producer.
08:14Being a producer, there are so many dimensions that are reached.
08:18being able to do something inside the career.
08:20Being able to do that.
08:22It becomes very…
08:24It comes here.
08:26Now, if it's doing both of them in one project,
08:28it's also too much to handle.
08:30So, it's almost like me for a long time.
08:32You know, it is better to let the professionals to do their job.
08:37and I remain more focused towards the acting because
08:40this is why you get peace and comfort.
08:43Apparently, it feels significant on apart.
08:47There's a lot of work.
08:49In life, you don't have to see each other in your life,
08:52without being able to burpudang.
08:53You have to kill one on your way,
08:55you have to lose your friends,
08:57you have to dance a lot.
08:59This is why you don't have to see each other,
09:02but this is what you do,
09:04you have to bring uncomfortable.
09:05and it doesn't happen in other people's lives.
09:10So these are the perks of being as an actor,
09:13I love to dwell into things.
09:15So that's a special thing.
09:16It's a USP and it's different.
09:21So that's that.
09:22When did you get your first break?
09:28So the exposure of acting is our father's creative.
09:36Because he used to have a video library.
09:38So we also had a lot of films in the 80s.
09:44We watched a lot of films from the father's side.
09:46Because it was the only thing that happened.
09:48So at that time, it was more than 5,000.
09:50And he was also a fan of cinema.
09:54And our grandfather was also a fan of cinema.
09:56He was a fan of the world.
09:58But first day, first show, we have to watch.
10:00So this is Salaam Saab,
10:02in the entire town,
10:05in the entire town,
10:06in the entire town,
10:07or in the entire town,
10:08or in the entire town,
10:09in the Gujarat,
10:10where he knew it,
10:11he knew it.
10:12He knew it.
10:13First day, first show,
10:14Salaam Saab, there.
10:15Now, this is the legacy,
10:16that our father,
10:18who is watching all the things,
10:20and watching all the things,
10:21and watching all the cinema,
10:22he has a library.
10:23And we didn't have to carry forward.
10:25It's the experience of cinema.
10:27So we're watching the childhood.
10:29Jekie Chinn Ler, Bruce huge Ler,
10:30and the children of the village,
10:31and there are some black people,
10:33and in the future,
10:34there are the cultural possibilities.
10:35So we have a variety of people.
10:37I got an exposure!
10:39Like pedals,
10:40and on the same way,
10:41and I'm all on my childhood,
10:44and my parents,
10:45and my dad,
10:47so my dad and dad
10:49and my dad
10:51I was working on a chill time
10:53and I would listen to radio
10:55and all the songs
10:57so the beautiful thing is
10:59that 60's, 70's
11:01and 50's
11:03and our generation
11:0580's, 90's
11:07and 2000's
11:09and all the exposure
11:11I am happy to say that
11:13I keep on keeping these exposure
11:15when I was 19
11:17and I was working on a fear factor
11:19and I started my career
11:21on screen
11:23and I started my career
11:25on screen
11:27before I was assistant
11:29so I remember my first film
11:31in the film city
11:33we were working on Irfan sir's film
11:35in which he was a villain
11:37and
11:39Mihir who plays the character
11:41he was an actor
11:43that taught me one thing
11:45how one

12:03must give all out
12:05so that taught me one
12:07so that taught me one thing
12:09how one
12:11must give all out
12:13I
12:15I
12:17I
12:19I
12:21I
12:23I
12:25I
12:27I
12:29I
12:31I
12:33I
12:35I
12:37I
12:39I
12:41I
12:43I
12:45I
12:47I
12:49I
12:51I
12:53I
12:55I
12:57I
12:59I
13:01I
13:03I
13:05I
13:07I
13:09I
13:11I
13:13I
13:15I
13:17I
13:19I
13:21I
13:23I
13:25I
13:27I
13:29I
13:31I
13:33I
13:35I
13:37I
13:39I
13:41I
13:43I
13:45I
13:47I
13:49I
13:51I
13:53I
13:55I
13:57I
13:59I
14:01I
14:03I
14:05I
14:07I
14:09I
14:23I
14:25I
14:27the content is made by thinking that it is truthful to the max, best of the best.
14:36So, no crap content is made by thinking, nobody does that.
14:42If somebody is doing that, they are not in the Bollywood, not a part of this mainstream.
14:49So, what we can bring a change, the whole fraternity is changing.
14:57In terms of, because it is getting more digitalized these days.
15:00So, it's like that there is no need for actors physically.
15:04Without all of you, all of the cinema can be made.
15:08So, this type of old cinema making is dangerous.
15:16What are the bad actors doing from Hollywood?
15:19All of the people in Bollywood are thinking about it.
15:23But, how many commands you give to the machines, until it is in your hands.
15:32So, I feel even despite of whatever you can capture and make it digitalized,
15:38but the real touch, you know, your soul can give you, not digital.
15:43So, this is where I personally feel that that one thing has to be, you know, a master at.
15:50And we'll find a ways to get through and how we can still bring a good cinema to our Bollywood industry and for the world audience.
15:59Yeah.
16:00Sir, you have a lot of ideas.
16:01Yes.
16:02So, you have a lot of ideas.
16:03Yes.
16:04So, you have a lot of ideas.
16:05Yes.
16:06So, you have a lot of ideas.
16:07Yes.
16:08Well, I played more of a serious, serious roles.
16:13I've done few comedies.
16:14Now, comedy means commercial.
16:15And I think it's one of the skills, it's one of the qualities which I have, you know, improvisation or kind of cinema I would like to do.
16:32I would like to do it.
16:33Like I make Madoc films.
16:35It's three of them.
16:36You have to do it.
16:37And then we are getting so many contents back to back which are giving hits at the chart buster.
16:46It is rocking.
16:47For sure.
16:48Like I'm watching.
16:49So, what kind of cinema is youthful, fun, and they are innovative, you know.
16:55So, there are such types of subjects that are useful and you have to touch your heart and you have to remember them instantly.
17:05So, you have to leave that flavor, that mark, that touch.
17:10So, when you talk about TV, you have to talk about TV and show.
17:13Correct.
17:14Correct.
17:15So, when you talk about TV, when you come to a film, you have to find the difference between the people you have to find?
17:21Yes.
17:22Look, at the beginning, I am very blessed, you know, that every student I have found on stage, Mahadyam,
17:34which takes a journey to the cinema.
17:36So, the experience of TV is very big.
17:39I mean, what can I ask?
17:41The biggest channel in that direction is Starpless, ZTV.
17:45The biggest production house is Balaji, Ekta Kapoor.
17:49I mean, I was fortunate.
17:51So, all these things come to the top, and we get so much good.
17:58Now, when we come to a film, the law is a little different.
18:02But I think everybody in this era, the one common factor is that everybody is respecting each other.
18:10It is a very common thing.
18:21Now, apart from this, whatever, jealousy, or this, or that, or whatever, that is individual.
18:27That brings you to the work.
18:28You are good.
18:29You will be good.
18:30You will be good.
18:32You will be your own.
18:33You will be your own.
18:34You will be your own.
18:36So, I am always interested in this.
18:37So, I don't think so much, do your work to the maximum, to the purest
18:43point, the rest of God is about it, so you can see what it is, like that.
18:47So, apart from that, but you can see youngsters, new ones, everybody is respecting them.
18:53I also respect them, because they stand up, they don't have fun, they sit there, you
18:58know, so that one thing is that, yeah.
19:00I think, I think, now you have to take a day plan, but it's not scripted, it's
19:19structuring, it's structure, momentum, for example, if I go here, I go here, I go here,
19:28I think, now I think, this is my goal.
19:30You can go here, go here, and they go here, I think, what will happen here, I think,
19:34what will happen here, it's a little plan.
19:35It's on the ground.
19:36So, what about the plans here, that will happen?
19:39What do you want to tell, which is out of the box, which is out of, you know, in your hands.
19:43So, it's a wrong thinking.
19:47One more thing that will bring a jack into a box, anything happens.
19:51If the reason that will happen, it will happen.
19:54So, it's a wrong idea.
19:56I mean it got the biggest fame
20:00Rodi's show I didn't do X2
20:04so Prince Narula is the winner
20:07so we are very good friends
20:08so my family is very good
20:10so that's one thing which is amazing
20:14from that show I've got the family
20:16not just the entire journey of this Rodi's experience
20:20but we have got Ranvijay sir
20:22we have got Vijinder
20:23we got Bani
20:25we got Karan Kundra
20:26we got Isha Deval
20:27so we all become family
20:29now we meet and everything
20:31we just laugh and you know
20:32just have a good time
20:33last week as a producer
20:37when you have a story
20:38what do you think about the story
20:41what do you think about the story
20:42what do you think about the story
20:44I think about the whole stages
20:47and I hear that the story is really dumb
20:50or not
20:50how much it is my heart
20:51as an audience
20:53now as a maker
20:55how much effort it requires to accomplish it
21:00who all you know
21:02put in to bring the project to the best form
21:06but there is a mechanism to make it reach to a certain point
21:17beyond that
21:18so that's what I think about the story
21:20so that's what I think about the story
21:21so that's what I think about the story
21:22main priority is that the content
21:25we sometimes think that the content
21:27that we don't have to think about the content
21:29but the universe
21:29It's time to come before you.
21:33I've seen a story about Sonosul Sir's first film on Bhaga Singh.
21:40My sister had a moment where she was going to become a manger.
21:46That character was not a sister.
21:48So, in that era, I remember 4 or 7 of Bhaga Singh films released back to back.
21:58And everybody had a different story.
22:00Part to the main line.
22:02But there are so many stories that are going on in one subject.
22:07Who knows who will go?
22:10Nobody knew.
22:11If you see, as a film,
22:14there was a very big film by Ajay Devgan sir.
22:20Then we had Sonosul Sir.
22:24So, Sonosul Sir's film was very big.
22:27Now, it's not a big star.
22:29Ajay Devgan sir was the biggest one.
22:32Because Rajkumar Santoshi Ji made such a big way.
22:35He was the finest maker of our industry.
22:37So, there is no debate and there is no doubt to it.
22:40Now, what is more sellable?
22:42It's taken the victory.
22:46You know, like that.
22:48Sometimes, the other films were little holes.
22:50So, this is one thing.
22:52Now, the film is very big.
22:55I mean, I am now,
22:57I had to remember Sonosul Sir's film.
22:58The set, the whole series.
23:00The whole thing.
23:01And the film is very overall.
23:02I always watch it.
23:03Today I am going to watch it.
23:05Today I am going to watch it.
23:06It was very good.
23:07Maybe it will not work.
23:08But, this is the only part of Sonosul Sir's film.
23:10If you have seen the first film, you don't connect much more.
23:15As a personal level, as a story, you have seen it.
23:18But you have to connect again and you have to know it again.
23:22You have to come and see it again.
23:25You have to get a connection with it.
23:29And it remains as a magnetic with you.
23:31So whenever that happens, you just click to it.
23:34I want to work with Kabir Khan, sir.
23:48Because I remember there was one phase of my life where I was looking to act.
23:53And at the same time, I didn't know what to do.
23:55And then, you know, most of the actors, they don't make it to the big cinema.
24:02They do tend to get into assistant.
24:06So at that time, I remember that sir had signed in YRF's three or five films.
24:12So at that time, he asked me, what do you want to do?
24:15I said, I want to act.
24:17And I was suggested by the friends, by the family to, you know, get into assisting, get into the camp and then so on.
24:23So I was like, I said, I want to act. I was very clear at the first point.
24:27I said, okay, I'm going to make a New York film.
24:33What was the name of the film? New York? New York only, right?
24:36So yeah, it was a New York film which was being done.
24:39And Katharina Khayef, who was a taxi driver's role,
24:43So he suggested that this is what I can offer you right now.
24:47Because it's a little late.
24:49But this is that.
24:50So he's the finest filmmaker.
24:55You know, films make a lot of great.
24:57And personally, I know him. I have a neighbor.
25:00So he has a personal attachment.
25:02Apart from this, I want to work with, you know, the South K directors at Lee Vagera.
25:10The reason being because he's young, youthful, and the canvas is big.
25:15You know, so there is no, I think, you know, the ego factor somewhere down the line.
25:24And I'm sure he's there, you know, all the biggest actors are working.
25:28I'm sure he doesn't have the time to be there.
25:31But I pray, inshallah, let's see.
25:33You may never know. Life is all about magic.
25:35This is why the entertainment industry is, you know, out known for.
25:39Then we have Bahubali's film director.
25:43And we've got many people who I personally know of.
25:46And who are still, you know, making a mark in the industry.
25:49They have great subject. They are passionate.
25:51And I always want to make a place for them.
25:55I'll be the answer for their questions.
25:57So this is where it comes.
25:58So that's there.
25:59I want to work with David Ji also.
26:01Because I love his 90s eras of Govinda Ji and Salman.
26:05And you know, all that.
26:06I want to bring that back.
26:07And so, this is a film that is fun.
26:11And you know, I think we're going to go to a disco.
26:15I'm going to go to a night.
26:17So, all these songs have been made.
26:22I want to leave you alone.
26:24I want to leave you alone.
26:26Do you want to talk about actresses?
26:28Do you want to talk about actresses?
26:30Do you want to talk about actresses?
26:32Do you want to talk about actresses?
26:34Murat is a very big word.
26:38I've been a fan of a couple of, you know.
26:44From our time, I can say I want to work with Aishwarya Rai, ma'am.
26:48I want to work with Sonakshi, ma'am.
26:50In today's time, if you will see, I want to work with Shraddha Kapoor.
26:54I, you know, like the way, you know, it's been there.
26:58I mean, the transparency with a great performance.
27:00And I want to work with Aaliyah as well.
27:02Because Aaliyah is one of the blessed actor, I would say.
27:07Who was born naturally in the entire fraternity, you know.
27:10And then, very hardworking, very dedicated, very transparent to the character.
27:17So, when you work with a good actress,
27:20you perform and work with a lot more.
27:23So, that one thing is there.
27:25And we have a lot, many lists going on.
27:28Because Hollywood, you know, is a vision.
27:31So, like that.
27:32But keeping it short and simple.
27:34Since we are here in Bollywood.
27:36So, yeah, these are the actors.
27:38Aaliyah.
27:52Right.
27:53It's the best thing to say.
27:55I was like this, it's the best thing to say.
27:57But that's what I do.
27:59So, first of all, the most important thing is to me.
28:02So, the biggest thing is to me.
28:04And I just want to say to myself.
28:06and the efforts to reach the same way, and the rewards to the same way and the rewards of everything.
28:12I'm saying something wrong.
28:15But, when you reach the same way, you are standing there.
28:19So please tell me that you have a lot of joy,
28:23a good joy, a good joy,
28:26and when you ask questions,
28:28you will be able to make yourself a way,
28:30and you will be able to make yourself a way.
28:32That is the only way, truthfully and truly you will be able to live and you will get there.
29:01Because all the great actors that we see today, their journey is just like this.
29:09So that's that. So be there and conquer.
29:12There are two projects which I am working at.
29:16It's some project which is there for Netflix.
29:22Theatrical release and then Netflix, that's the whole idea.
29:25So let's see, these are the two things which are there.
29:30The reason I'm being very choosy, the reason I don't want to pick up any project or running behind it.
29:37No, no, no. Something which is, which is in today's time, fruitful for my performance, where I can be true and also justice to the project.
29:45And yeah, these are the things which are there.
29:48I'm taking my time going easy because there are lots more coming in the way.
29:51So it's easy.
29:58Thank you so much.
30:00Thank you so much.
