00:10their latest film Freaky Ali, a brisk comedy about a debt collector turned accidental golfing
00:16There is enough and more in the film, you know, which once people go to see and they say, wow, the trailer was just a teaser, you know, and it's genuinely a teaser, because it's a very interesting, very lighthearted, fun comedy.
00:28And it's something or the other happening every moment in the film, which is very interesting.
00:32I learned their lines before I learned my lines, because there's so much give and take in this film.
00:38It's unbelievable. The timing is automatic. We are not trying to do anything comical.
00:44It's just a situation. It's one thing leads to another.
00:48In this film, I don't think anybody's attempting to say something funny necessarily or act in a funny way or make faces in a funny way.
00:56The situations are just creating a certain anger or a frustration or a dialogue that is creating the humor in the film.
01:04Salman Khan says he begged his brothers to give him a role in Freaky Ali, but they were adamant that he couldn't be in the film.
01:10The thing is that, you know, even if he does a small part, his fan following is so huge that they expect him to do something.
01:18And if you don't do justice to him, his fans will get disappointed.
01:23So after he volunteered to be a part of this and he liked the project, we requested Bhai to lend us his name as a producer, because he's got a huge network.
01:35And we just thought that if we made a decent film, if we made a family film, at least it can get catered to a lot of people.
01:41The reach, because of Salman, Bhai would be huge.
01:44There's a lot of hard work that goes into this, even though you're making a comedy.
01:48You're making a film which needs to be made in its budget.
01:53They used to start waking up at 5 o'clock, 6 o'clock in the morning and they used to work all the way till 10 o'clock in the night.
02:00So these long hours for those many days, if you don't get along with the people, if they don't like the work, you know, the future of the film would be like a huge disaster.
02:10You know, people unhappy there, you know, working long hours.
02:14But the fact that the work went out so smoothly, today the film is complete, ready to release.
02:21These guys, you know, Sohail being the captain and the owner of the ship, you know, he took everything in control.
02:29So he used to be the first one to wake up and he used to be the last one to go to sleep till today.
02:35Right now he's just finished his whole background score, the first copy has come out.
02:40So when everyone finished their work in about 35-40 days, he was still at it with the background and the sound effects and the dubbing, etc.
02:50The Khan brothers were also keen to position Freaky Ali as a family entertainer.
02:54It has a running time of 120 minutes and they have kept it clean and crisp.
02:58There's nothing vulgar, there's nothing chichora, there's nothing incorrect about this movie that you can go with your families and watch it and enjoy the movie.
03:09And the backdrop is, you know, gully cricket and then there's golf and then there's lots of different, different characters and lots of fun in the movie.
03:19So it's like a proper entertainer.
03:21Fans in the UAE can see the film starting on September 8th.
