00:00Firangi is a story from before the partition in 1920-21.
00:09The idea was that we wanted to make a period movie, especially during the partition.
00:18It has a dark side in it, like the Marquardt tragedy.
00:23So we wanted to show something like that.
00:26My grandfather came from Pakistan.
00:31He used to share sad stories about the partition.
00:38We used to ask him about his life before the partition.
00:45He used to tell us that we used to celebrate festivals together.
00:48We used to celebrate Eid together, Diwali together.
00:52So we wanted to show a happy life.
00:57Because it's a Bollywood movie.
00:59We wanted to show the romance of that time.
01:02A very sweet romance.
01:03Yes, a very sweet romance.
01:04We used to hold each other's hands, look at each other from a distance and be happy.
01:08We used to walk 10 km to each other's village.
01:11Because you couldn't even love a girl from your village.
01:13Because a girl from your village was called a sister.
01:16It's up to you.
01:17But I will tell you about myself.
01:19I did comedy by accident.
01:21Before that, when we used to do theater, we used to do serious plays.
01:25I had never done a comedy play.
01:28When there are youth festivals in universities, there used to be a comedy skit.
01:34But I got interested in comedy because it has an instant reaction.
01:38You say two things and people laugh.
01:40It feels good that there is an instant reaction.
01:42People are laughing.
01:43Now you make a sad film.
01:45People have become emotional and crying.
01:48You can't see it from a distance.
01:50They must be crying inside watching your play.
01:53In comedy, you hear a laugh, a sound that there is happiness in the hall.
01:58That's why I like to make people laugh.
02:01I think as long as life goes on, we will keep getting lessons.
02:04This is learning.
02:05Life is a learning.
02:06Something or the other will keep happening.
02:08We will keep learning.
02:09Don't do this because of this.
02:11After that, you will get to learn something new.
02:13As long as we learn, I think we will be forgotten.
02:18Yes, it is better than before.
02:20But I was asked to rest and eat well.
02:25Because I had stopped exercising.
02:28But because the movie is released, I won't tell anyone.
02:32That is also a bad thing.
02:34I am doing what I can.
02:36We have come to Dubai.
02:38We are doing TV shows and promotions in India.
02:42When you make something good, it is your duty to tell people.
02:47People who love you and are your fans.
02:49That we have made this and it is coming on this date.
02:53After this, I will take a full month's rest.
02:55And after that, yes.
02:57Are you back on TV?
02:59Yes, of course.
03:00What are your plans?
03:02I don't have any plans now.
03:03I will take rest now.
03:04Mentally and physically.
03:05After that, when the show is made, some things come to mind.
03:09When you are fresh, things happen overnight.
03:11No, I don't get it.
03:13Actually, let me tell you.
03:14I have been doing this since 1997.
03:17And I have never taken a month's rest in my life.
03:22So this will be the first time.
