00:00You know, working on this set particularly, I feel that we have been, all of us have been

00:11very fortunate because they were always open for, you know, your suggestions and what you

00:19can bring on the table.

00:20I feel that, you know, very few or maybe my experience says that, you know, I have been

00:25very fortunate to work with the directors like this, you know, and when there is a room

00:31to perform, you know, you can put in your efforts also to make what your director sees

00:36in you or in that character.

00:38It's his baby at the end of the day.

00:40He has written it.

00:41He has imagined that character in particular way.

00:43But when you feel that, you know, as an actor, when you take that character in you, you sometimes

00:49feel that, okay, I can do this like this, you know, can I give you a suggestion?

00:53And it was always open, even Tushar sir.

00:56It's been very, very chill shoot, I would say, that even though we were doing some action

01:03packed scenes or maybe emotional scenes or whatever, we never felt that heaviness, you

01:10know, off camera.

01:11We were working as a team to make that project work for everybody.

01:16So I think, yeah, that was the scenario and when you work for a project as, you know,

01:23you culminate everything to make that project, you know, a success, not just your character.

01:30I feel that your work is done.

01:31So I think we all worked in that direction.

01:39Again, Abbas sir, Abbas Ali Mughal, who's done all the action for the show.

01:44Just what an amazing, amazing guy to work with.

01:49What an amazing talent, legend from the industry.

01:52So, what, I mean, I mean, it's just, it's supposed to entertain you.

01:59I'm hoping you've been entertained.

02:01There are, this is movie magic.

02:03There are things that we should not talk about.

02:05If you're creating magic, why speak about it?

02:08You don't, you never give your tricks.

02:10Yeah, you don't need to put that, you know.

02:12It's best to experience it.

02:13Yeah, I guess, I guess you should be as shocked and you should feel,

02:16I hope the memo didn't get hurt.

02:17I hope Aakansha didn't get hurt.

02:19It's right, I think.

02:20But I think I'd give all my love to Abbas sir for being,

02:25what an amazing, you know, action director, action designer for this show.

02:30If you see, there's a lot of action.

02:32And he's made it so comfortable for everybody,

02:35even for the directors to be on set, taking calls, speaking,

02:40continuously being in, you know, in dialogue with each other.

02:44So, yeah, I think, I think again,

02:46the audience is going to kind of react to whether the action has come out well or not.

02:50But I think I'm really happy with how the action has come out.

02:53And I think the actors will also chime in.

02:55Yeah, because it's, it's very rare, sir,

02:57like right now, you know, Dibat Maza said,

02:59that everyone was comfortable with each other.

03:02There were no egos.

03:03There were no positions.

03:05There were no me or you.

03:07It was all about unison.

03:08It was Khaki.

03:09You know, Khaki means everyone.

03:11You know, I've been very fortunate enough to work with Abbas Bhai,

03:14like my first Haunted.

03:15I'm shooting the sequel now.

03:17Abbas Bhai is there. Khaki Abbas Bhai was there.

03:19Enemy I did with Dad, Abbas Bhai was there.

03:21So what Dibat Maza said, you know,

03:23that man is a living legend.

03:25He knows every shot.

03:27He knows how to break it down.

03:28He knows the tricks.

03:29You know, what you're seeing.

03:30And to handle so many people,

03:32the guns, the bullets, the action, the tension,

03:35and to give that beautiful, you know, picture,

03:39it's only Abbas Bhai.

03:41Only Abbas Bhai can do that.

03:42I'll just add in a little bit.

03:44Like you said, when you come on set,

03:46there was no feeling of coming on set or anything.

03:49I think it was, at one point in time,

03:51it was like a family.

03:52You meet up in the morning, do breakfast together.

03:54Chalo, aaj yeh yeh shoot karna hai.

03:56Chalo, nikalte hain.

03:57It was almost like a chota sa picnic that we went on for.

04:00Chalo, aaj yeh yeh hai.

04:02Kaun kya kar raha hai.

04:03Chalo, discuss kar lete hain.

04:04Yeh hai, lines.

04:05Sabko lines mil gaye.

04:06Chalo, kar lete hain.

04:07I think that's the best way to work in any situation.

04:10I mean, when you feel like,

04:11how Jeetda also added ki,

04:12it doesn't feel like work.

04:14You come on set,

04:15it's like towards the end of school na,

04:17apko lagta hai ki,

04:18yaar yeh chhod ke nahi jana chahiye.

04:19To the point, it's so bittersweet ki,

04:22yaar it's coming to an end wala feeling ho jata hai ki,

04:24yaare.

04:25So, throughout the shoot na,

04:27it almost felt like a very long, beautiful picnic.

04:33You're all shooting with each other,

04:34killing each other.

04:35Too much fun.

04:36Hitting each other,

04:37fighting with each other.

04:38Fighting with each other,

04:39but so, so much fun.

04:40I mean,

04:41what a memorable experience.

04:43Absolutely.

04:50No, I,

04:51when I go for work,

04:52I don't look for comfort.

04:53Sidi baat yeh hai ki,

04:54mai jata hoon kaam karne ke liye.

04:56Aur Akanksha ne,

04:57jaise ka,

04:58bilkul sahi ka,

04:59usmein sirf ek do cheezein

05:00mai jodana chahunga ki,

05:01agar director ya makers,

05:02wo agar aapse kuch nikalna chahate hain,

05:04agar wo open hai,

05:06toh actor ya talent kya soch raha hai,

05:08wo soch agar director ke dimaag tak,

05:10ya uske vision tak pochaya jaa sakta hai,

05:12aur agar wo,

05:13director ki vision ko,

05:142%, 5%, 10%,

05:15kuch bhi jod sakta hai,

05:17toh phir us actor ko laane ka matlab bhi,

05:20jo hai na,

05:21wo strong khada ho jata hai.

05:22Ki haan,

05:23maine isko laaya,

05:24sahi kiya.

05:25Right.

05:26Agar aap wo jodi nahi paate hain,

05:275%, 10%,

05:28sirf puppet ki tarah kaam kar rahe hain,

05:29toh phir aapki din bhi gine chune hi rahte hain,

05:30phir us director ke saath.

05:31Rishtey bhi gine chune hi rahte hain.

05:34Okay.

05:35Who doesn't like to be surprised?

05:36I mean,

05:37as directors,

05:38we imagine a character and come on set,

05:41and if an actor surprises you,

05:44I mean,

05:45what better gift can you get?

05:46True.

05:47Because actor is also a creative person,

05:49he is also visualizing the scene,

05:50when you read it.

05:51Toh usne kya socha hai,

05:52agar ye director open hai sunne ke liye,

05:55toh isse khubsurat baat kuch nahi ho sakti hai.

05:56True.

05:57Kyunki hum team work mein kaam karte hain,

05:58hum sab chahate hain,

05:59kya ek doosre ko reciprocal rahein,

06:01ek doosre ko sunne samjhe,

06:03aur uske baad aage badein.

06:04Aap jo comfort ki baat karein na,

06:06main add karna chahungi,

06:07hum log aise the set pe,

06:08ki hume comfort nahi,

06:10hume discomfort chahiye tha.

06:11Aap hume vanity mein mat bulao,

06:13aap hume bas kaam karwa lo.

06:15So we always look forward to go on set

06:18and create something.

06:19So I think,

06:20we never looked for comfort,

06:22we only looked for more and more work,

06:24is what we wanted.

06:25How to get it right?

06:26Jo scene demand kar raha hai,

06:28jo director demand kar raha hai,

06:29makers demand kar raha hai,

06:30us tak kaise paucha jaye,

06:31aur usko kaise behtar kiya jaye.

06:33Bas yeh hi tha.

06:34Because in the end,

06:35kya hai ki,

06:36it's our duty as actors,

06:38to deliver it to the director.

06:40Chalo audience toh dekhi gi,

06:41but inko toh pehle deliver kar de,

06:43yeh khush hai,

06:44toh pehle audience khush hogi na.

06:45Aur ino ne likha bhi hai,

06:46inception se inko pata hai,

06:48ki wo kya likh rahein,

06:49kya dekh rahein.

06:50Toh humko sirf koshish karni hai,

06:52ki unko jo dekh rahein,

06:53usko meet karna bas.

06:54Usme agar enhance kar payein,

06:55kuch jod payein,

06:56jo maine kaha hai,
