00:00 So you will not go and tell that farmer son, this is nepotism.
00:03 You are a farmer's son.
00:05 You will do good farming.
00:07 Your father has always supported you.
00:09 And your journey started with him as a child artist.
00:12 And you did your first movie with him.
00:15 So having a support from a father who is already a big name in the industry.
00:19 So have you got any benefit from it?
00:22 I have been asked this question many times.
00:26 Being born in a film family, does that give you an advantage?
00:30 It's the same thing of a farmer's son being born to a farmer.
00:37 The advantage that he has is he has those skills.
00:41 He harnesses those skills right from his toddler days.
00:44 So he knows it.
00:45 And that's why he understands the soil, he understands the weather,
00:48 he understands the harvesting, everything.
00:51 Like nobody else.
00:53 You will not go and tell that farmer son, this is nepotism.
00:56 You are a farmer's son.
00:58 You will do good farming.
01:00 But he has to have that...
01:03 It's not just being born to... He needs to harness those skills.
01:07 He needs to grow from there.
01:10 He needs to utilise today's technology
01:16 and try to grow the business of his father.
01:20 So that is something that I am trying to do.
01:24 The benefit that I got is that whatever knowledge I have today,
01:29 whatever skills I have developed today,
01:32 whatever my understanding of cinema and content is,
01:35 it has...
01:37 It's like my upbringing...
01:41 It's a...
01:44 It's a culture that I have while growing up.
01:47 It's like education.
01:51 You go to a school and you pass out from a school
01:54 and then you are educated from that school and that school has influence.
01:58 Being born in the Kothare family,
02:01 being the son of Mahesh Kothare,
02:03 was like being born in an institute.
02:07 Do you get nervous when you work in front of them?
02:10 Because as you said, they are your idols.
02:12 No, it's a very friendly relation.
02:15 And we fight a lot.
02:18 It's not like...
02:21 We are...
02:22 Of course, there is respect and everything but we...
02:25 We argue, fight, watch movies,
02:30 enjoy life together.
02:32 We do everything. We travel.
02:34 So my father has never...
02:36 kept that wall of age difference between us.
02:42 So it is there but it's not there also.
02:45 He has maintained that relation with me.
02:47 Because of that,
02:50 I have a very good, friendly rapport with my dad.
02:54 There are many secrets
02:55 which my friends won't know but my dad knows about me.
03:00 [laughs]
