00:00How do you connect with a good film?
00:05Connecting with a good film is a very good thing
00:11because the shelf life of the film becomes very strong
00:16and a film is like archived always
00:22and it has an archival value
00:24that people watch the film 50 times
00:28till the time you watch the film
00:31the film gets validity
00:33and all the people associated with the film get validity
00:36so of course when you do this type of film
00:42automatically your life is shaping up
00:48your life is shaping up
00:50this has happened with Black Friday
00:53with Devdi
00:54with many films
00:55whose revisited value is very strong
00:58which people want to see again and again
01:01so in such a film, it is very important for your career
01:06What is the process of writing a script?
01:11Everyone has their own process
01:14I have my own process
01:15but the first process is
01:17that I read the script properly
01:19and I try to understand
01:23in which direction the director and writer are writing
01:28and in which direction the director is writing
01:30and I just have to go along with them
01:36I don't develop the character separately
01:40that this character will be like this
01:42and this character will be like that
01:43I have made it in my mind
01:45and when I came to know that I have reached the set
01:47I came to know that I was thinking in a different direction
01:51then the work is not cohesive
01:53then the work is not right according to me
01:56because at the end of the day, it is the director's media
01:59it is the director's vision
02:00he knows how to do it
02:03because an actor can say a thousand dialogues
02:07he can interpret a scene in a thousand ways
02:09but the director needs a particular way out of a thousand
02:14that now I am okay with it
02:17so I have to reach that particular way
02:27certain preparation you always have in you
02:31because it's a long time you have been doing these things
02:34when you are doing a character
02:38you can't start from zero
02:41because already you are 50, 60, 70
02:44you have reached the point where you are in a groove
02:49you have to start from scratch
02:53you have to start from the character's scratch
02:55not from your acting
02:58that's why when someone does a character
03:01they read the same thing properly
03:03with the directors and writers
03:06it's a collaboration at the end of the day
03:09so you collaborate
03:11it's a lab also
03:14when you are making a film also
03:16the film set is also like a lab
03:18so you do experiments over there
03:22you fail, you rise, you fall
03:27so you bounce things
03:30but at the end of the day
03:32it shouldn't happen that you go to the film set
03:34and can't conduct a lot of discussions
03:37at the end of the day
03:39time is money and money is time
03:42so you have to prepare everything
03:44but at the end of the day it's a lab also
03:46when you are making the film over there
03:54when you get validation from the director
03:58that the director is okay
04:00that's when you actually
04:02when you do the first scene
04:04the okay take of the scene
04:06that's when you get into the groove
04:08I get into the groove
04:10I don't know about the rest
04:12because I try and test everything
04:16I live in that area
04:18that zone
04:20so that I know
04:22what's in the director's mind
04:24what's in his vision
04:26am I able to stand in that
04:28and then I slowly get into the groove
04:32in the beginning
04:34in the first scene
04:36I always feel like
04:38I don't know what's going to happen
04:40is it going to be okay
04:42let's try
04:44so
04:46that's how it is
04:53I don't know how much he helps me
04:55but I have that nervousness
04:57I don't know if everyone has it or not
05:00I have it
05:02I always feel like
05:04I'm a little
05:06I'm a little sceptical about myself
05:08so that makes me
05:10actually
05:14that makes me neutral also somehow
05:16you know
05:18let's
05:20do it
05:22let's experiment
05:24it's like
05:26it's my process
05:29I'm a little vulnerable
05:31and then slowly
05:33I try to get into the character's groove
05:40fully prepared doesn't mean
05:42you're stuck
05:44fully prepared means
05:46you're prepared for the battle
05:49in the battlefield
05:51everything is impromptu
05:54when a cricketer is ready
05:56and goes to the pitch
05:58he doesn't know which ball will come
06:00he is prepared to
06:02play the game
06:04he is prepared to play the match
06:06so fully prepared means
06:08whether you're prepared
06:10to play the match or not
06:12then eventually I told you it's a lab
