00:00First of all, everyone, welcome to INS.
00:03First of all, we would like to know from you, the power of 5.
00:06So, you are not seeing 5 people, you are seeing 4 people.
00:09So, what exactly is this power of 5?
00:11Can you tell us?
00:12There are many more people.
00:13The name is only power of 5, but there are many more people.
00:17Your remaining question is, what will you see?
00:23So, we will see a lot of power in it, for sure.
00:27There are supernatural powers.
00:30We will see a lot of emotions, we will see a lot of relationships among people.
00:35We will also see our own relationships.
00:38I can say from our side, we will see the relationship between mother and son.
00:44You will also see the relationship between mother and daughter.
00:47You will get to see a lot of things.
00:49Barkha ji, how much do you believe in supernatural things?
00:55See, I have not seen anything yet.
00:58So, I think it is difficult to fully believe.
01:02But, I do believe that there is some power or energy somewhere.
01:07I think it is within humans.
01:09It is untapped, but there is.
01:11So, I believe this.
01:13But, like I said, I have never experienced it.
01:16But, I believe that there is some energy in every human being.
01:21Yash, how much do you believe in supernatural things?
01:29I believe that there is something out in the universe.
01:34Whether I have experienced it or not, I am still young.
01:38So, there is a lot to experience.
01:40But, I do believe that there is something out there in the universe.
01:45Riba, you want to say something?
01:48Well, I also believe that we all have power within ourselves.
01:54And, it is too early to say whether we have discovered it or not.
02:00But, as time goes by, we discover ourselves and discover our inner power, hopefully.
02:07Urvashi ji, what made you say yes to this unique concept of the show?
02:13It is very simple for me in life.
02:18If I am interested in something within one minute of narration, I will say yes to it.
02:23It takes one minute.
02:25And, because this show is not just about superpowers.
02:35There is a lot more.
02:36As I told you earlier, you will see a lot of relationships in this.
02:40You will see a storyline.
02:43Plus, this character means a lot to me.
02:46I have never played such a character before.
02:50People have never seen me in such a character before.
02:54I have a set image.
02:58And, it is definitely going to break through this show.
03:02Barkha ji, how does Power of Path stand out from the other shows you have been part of?
03:10How does it stand out?
03:13This is the first time I am doing a superhero show.
03:18So, for me, that stands out.
03:21But, as Urvashi said, when you watch a superhero show, it is all about the heroes and their powers.
03:30This show is different because it has a lot of relationships.
03:35The storyline is very strong.
03:37The backdrop is of the superheroes and their powers.
03:40But, otherwise, the storyline has a lot of drama.
03:48This combination is unique.
03:50You have made such a dramatic show with the superheroes.
03:53I think that combination is unique.
03:55Yash, your character deals with elemental powers and betrayals.
04:00How much of that reflects in your own experiences and friendships?
04:05There is no such thing as betrayal in my own relationship.
04:09But, there are a lot of complex emotions in my character.
04:12Be it sadness, be it happiness.
04:14Relationship with my family, with my friends in the show.
04:17And, that is something I relate to in real life also.
04:21Because, I am also a very emotional person.
04:23So, whatever happens, it affects me.
04:25Like, I have a very good bond with my friends in the show.
04:29That is something I relate to as a character.
04:31In real life also and in the show also.
04:34Riva, as a young influencer and actor, how do you prepare for this role?
04:39In Power of Panch, especially with a mix of drama and supernatural elements.
04:44When I heard about Bela's character for the first time,
04:48I was able to relate to her.
04:51Her emotions, what was happening with her,
04:55what was happening in her surroundings with her family, her friends.
04:58Whatever was happening, I was able to relate to it.
05:01And, when I played Bela's character.
05:04And, there are so many emotions, so many friendships, relationships.
05:09There are so many ups and downs in her life.
05:11She doesn't know what is happening right now.
05:13I think, I would say that playing this character was one of the best things in my life for me.
05:19Because, I got to learn a lot from this character.
05:22And, I hope I was able to give my 100% to this character.
05:27You guys will tell me how you felt.
05:29But, for me, I think, this has become a big part of my life.
05:34Because, we shot for so long.
05:36Practically, we have become a family.
05:40Because, we shot on set for so long.
05:42We shot daily for almost 6 months.
05:45And, the preparation before that, meeting everyone, costume trial.
05:49I think, Bela is now a part of my life.
05:52Talking about the show, Ikta Kapoor productions often attract among reactions.
05:58So, often attract strong reactions.
06:00So, how do you think the Power of Panch will be received by the audience?
06:08Well, Power of Panch is, I think, completely different.
06:11And, it's based on elemental powers.
06:15I hope you guys enjoy it a lot.
06:18And, this, I think, is a beginning to supernatural powers.
06:23Shows and sci-fi shows in the Indian cinema, I would say.
06:33I mean, it's a new show.
06:35There is no concept yet.
06:37It's a new show.
06:38And, it's not just about powers.
06:40There are only elements.
06:41Only kids can watch it.
06:42It's not that.
06:43There are complex emotions.
06:44Urvashi ma'am said, it's like a relationship.
06:46So, there are a lot of things.
06:47There are many layers in many characters.
06:50So, there are a lot of things that can attract a wide audience.
06:53It's not just some specific audience that can watch the show.
06:56So, there are a lot of people who can watch the show.
06:58And, the reaction, well, it's up to the audience which will give us when the show comes out.
07:07You asked about Balaji doing the show and how Balaji's shows attract the audience.
07:12I think, behind Balaji, there is one woman who is Ikta Kapoor.
07:16Who is an extremely powerful woman.
07:18So, I think her power in terms of what the audience likes, what attracts the audience.
07:24I think that power reflects in every show of hers.
07:27And, it's going to reflect.
07:28And, here we are talking about the power of punch.
07:31So, I think that is what draws, I think, as a maker, as a creator.
07:36She has the power to understand what the audience will like.
07:40So, yeah.
07:46What can I say?
07:48Ikta has always been a visionary.
07:50According to me.
07:51And, she has always moved with time.
07:55Yes, she has always tapped the nerves of the audience.
08:00She has always known what they like, what they don't like.
08:07But, I would like to say one thing about her.
08:09I think she has tried to move forward with time.
08:16And, with this show, Power of Punch, she has again proven herself.
08:22That she is not just a category producer.
08:26She definitely produces more stuff.
08:29She has more vision.
08:30And, she can definitely give the audience much more than what is expected from her.
08:39Like I said, it's all about perception.
08:41And, as far as the audience's acceptance, appreciation or criticism is concerned.
08:48That happens with every show.
08:50Then, even if it's a normal show, there is criticism and acceptance.
08:55So, it all depends on the audience.
08:58If we talk about supernatural dramas,
09:00we see that if a film is supernatural, there are mixed reactions.
09:04Do you feel that our audience doesn't accept supernatural powers?
09:09Whereas, if it's a Hollywood film, people are attracted to it.
09:13I won't say that our audience doesn't believe in supernatural powers.
09:18In fact, I think in our country, it's believed the most.
09:21That there is some supernatural power somewhere.
09:24But, it is always connected to either gods or whatever.
09:30But, when it comes to cinematic,
09:33When we talk about sci-fi films,
09:36obviously, when it comes to cinema, it's different.
09:39It's a different visual.
09:40And, it depends on every genre, every generation,
09:44how they look at it and how they accept it.
09:47If you ask me, I saw Superman when I was a kid.
09:51I liked it a lot. I thought there was always a Superman somewhere.
09:54There was also a Supergirl, which no one talks about.
09:57You remember that? There was a Supergirl.
10:00No one talks about that either.
10:02But, I thought that these two brothers and sisters are somewhere.
10:05So, it's like that.
10:06It all depends on how you think and you look at it.
10:10What is your belief system?
10:12But, it's not just about superpowers.
10:14Like I said, this show is very interesting in its own way.
10:18Very unique in its own way.
10:19Because, it's not just about magic and flying.
10:24It's a package deal.
10:27I'll tell you that you'll get a package deal.
10:30It's a proper drama.
10:31There's mystery.
10:32There's thriller.
10:33There's supernatural.
10:35There's sci-fi.
10:36There's everything.
10:38Barkha ji, many fans feel that streaming platforms
10:41are overcrowded with supernatural content.
10:45Are they?
10:46Streaming platforms?
10:48I don't think so.
10:51No, I mean...
10:54Critics believe that
10:56there will be one, two or three series of supernatural powers
11:00in the streaming platforms.
11:03So, what do you mean by five standouts?
11:07Okay, firstly, I don't think any of the platforms
11:10are crowded by supernatural content.
11:12Exactly.
11:13One and a half, I'm sure.
11:15Here and there.
11:17But, we're definitely not crowded.
11:19So, I think it's a unique slot
11:22for superpowers and that kind of stuff.
11:25But, how does Power of Panch differentiate?
11:28Like I said,
11:30I think you normally target youth
11:33with superheroes.
11:34Whether it's a show or a movie for youth.
11:37This is a show for all age groups.
11:39And I think that's what makes it unique.
11:41As a mother also, you'll want to watch this show.
11:44As a father, you'll want to see it.
11:46As friends, you'll want to see it.
11:48As brother and sister, you'll want to see it.
11:51Because we've covered so many relationships.
11:54And many relevant topics.
11:56The struggles of children growing up.
11:59You know, the rebellion that children go through.
12:02We're speaking about so many things
12:05that are so relevant in today's world.
12:07I don't think you can put it in the slot
12:10that it's a show for superheroes.
12:13So, that's what makes it unique.
12:15Yash, I'd like to know
12:18this is your first series
12:20and you're working with Balaji.
12:22How was it working with Balaji?
12:26I've worked with him.
12:27But the series, as you said, is my first.
12:30We've done a lot of different types of shows.
12:33Ads, movies.
12:34This was something completely different.
12:37Almost everyone in the cast is older than me.
12:41It's not an age group.
12:43Everyone's older than me.
12:44So, in the beginning, I was trying to fit in.
12:47But then I got in.
12:48As Reva said, we're a family.
12:50It doesn't feel like we came from different places.
12:54It was like a family we used to meet every single day.
12:58So, it was a super fun experience.
13:00And I learned a lot of things.
13:01That is very important.
13:02Wherever I go, I try to pick one thing
13:05that I can take and implement in my career.
13:08What did you learn?
13:11I really want to know this.
13:12I actually learned a lot of stuff about acting.
13:14There was a very particular scene
13:16where I couldn't do it.
13:18And the director was like, do this, do that.
13:20It actually helped me move forward.
13:23What did you learn apart from acting?
13:25Apart from acting, it was just a good experience.
13:29I learned about acting.
13:32Reva, I'd like to ask you.
13:34You've worked with so many senior actors.
13:37What was your learning experience?
13:40Working with senior actors was amazing.
13:43Urvashi ma'am, Barkha ma'am.
13:45I mean, I felt like working with them,
13:49more than they are senior actors,
13:51but they felt like family to me, you know.
13:53Ask anything, talk about anything.
13:55Talk about the shoot.
13:59We mostly talked about the shoot.
14:01Asking them questions.
14:02And they always helped us.
14:04It didn't feel like they didn't want to help us.
14:07It felt like we have someone
14:09we can go and talk to.
14:11Rather it be anything,
14:13show related or personal related,
14:15we can talk to them.
14:16We became that comfortable
14:17that we open up to them about show.
14:19And I learned a lot from them.
