00:00Well, thank you for that question.
00:02When I choose to do a film,
00:05I look at the purpose behind why the film is being made.
00:08Most often than not, that will decide immediately what my decision is.
00:13This was Dharma with Karan Johar and Apoorva,
00:19making a film called Kesari Chapter 2 with Akshay sir
00:24and a director of mine who is also called Karan,
00:26who is a law graduate from Harvard.
00:31And they've all gotten together to tell a story.
00:34It's just been a very irritating chapter for us when we were in school
00:41because we had to memorize what happened.
00:43Then slowly as we got older, we remembered that this was a bad thing.
00:48Then we got to know more about the film.
00:50We got to know about talking to people.
00:52This is a big crime. This is injustice.
00:54And when I'm making this film, and when I made this film,
00:57the information I got and what I found out,
00:59I feel that this is the biggest genocide in the world.
01:03It's not even a massacre, it's a genocide.
01:06And those who are responsible for it should at least own it.
01:09So I felt that I couldn't make a better story than this.
01:12I don't care if it's negative or positive.
01:15As long as it's a character for me,
01:17and I do it so well that people hate me,
01:19then I think I've succeeded in my job.
