00:00How do you feel about the film?
00:05For us, our film is very much like Punjabi film.
00:12Butterflies.
00:15This film is a big film for all of us.
00:19The Indian industry is very much expecting from us.
00:22The hopes of the Punjabi industry are very high.
00:25That this film will do this and that.
00:27We feel the same way.
00:29We have come here on time.
00:31We have tried to make it bigger than our regular films.
00:36What can we do?
00:37We have spent a lot of time.
00:39Everyone's expectations are high.
00:41The excitement level is also very high.
00:50Every film has its own role.
00:52Which subject you can make, which you can't.
00:56Do you like it or not?
01:02After Maharaja Ranjit Singh.
01:04There was a time when Punjab was in turmoil.
01:08It was not clear what was happening.
01:10As if Punjab had become an orphan.
01:12After every 2-3 days, the mountains were changing.
01:16What was happening at that time?
01:19Most of the people did not know.
01:23I thought it was a good place to make it.
01:27In a good way.
01:33I made a good subject.
01:36I sold the story.
01:38You have understood the period.
01:41The people of Arabia have heard.
01:43What was the time of Maharaja Ranjit Singh?
01:46What was the time of Hari Singh?
01:48What happened immediately after that?
01:51We tried to show what we did not know.
02:00I have a lot of interest in the history of Punjab.
02:03I used to look for small things.
02:06When I used to tell my children, they were surprised.
02:11That there is such a big emperor.
02:15People do not know that there is a city near Gurdaspur.
02:19There was a king.
02:21His minister was Bairam Khan.
02:23He crowned him there.
02:25In a small city in Punjab, he became the emperor.
02:29I think 90% of Indians do not know.
02:33That there was a crowning.
02:35Bairam Khan declared in Kalamau, Punjab.
02:39That today India has got its emperor.
02:43He was 14 years old then.
02:45If I tell you these things, it gives you a lot of peace.
02:49These are small things.
02:51I have a lot of interest in Punjab's history.
02:56To be honest, I did not read much history before.
02:59I started reading some time ago.
03:02As I started reading, my interest increased a lot.
03:06Specifically, as you said, the history of the Sikh Empire.
03:10Maharaja Ranjit Singh ruled for 40 years.
03:14When I read that, I felt a sense of power.
03:22After that, I read Hari Singh Narua, Shamsi Mittari, Baba Banda Singh Bhai.
03:29I tried to read all those things.
03:33I am very interested to read more.
03:38What is the difference between Punjabi comedy and Hindi comedy?
03:43I don't think so.
03:45There are a lot of films that do not work.
03:49When a lot of films work, we take them out.
03:55As we say in Punjabi, comedy is the most popular film.
04:00It's not like that.
04:02The box office with the most collection was comedy.
04:06Now comedy has flopped a lot.
04:08It doesn't go out.
04:09The same thing happens in Bombay.
04:11I feel that any subject should be right.
04:14Whether it is comedy or any other genre.
04:17It should be right.
04:18If a film is right, then yes.
04:20Periodically, these things happen.
04:23I have read these things in books.
04:25I have thought about it with my imagination.
04:27There must have been a fort like this.
04:29There must have been a Maharaja like this.
04:31I have not seen it with my imagination.
04:34What I have thought is different.
04:36What I have thought is different.
04:38Now there is a vision.
04:40I have written it like this.
04:43Now everyone will write from that point of view.
04:45It is big to see.
04:47The scale is big.
04:48These things fascinate us.
04:53We are always afraid of the past.
04:56We don't know what will happen next.
04:59But we are not afraid of the past.
05:01It has happened.
05:03We are only interested in the past.
05:05How did it happen?
05:06Why did it happen?
05:07Who did it?
05:08You can open a photo album of your house.
05:11There will be black and white photos.
05:13The photos will be more yellow than the black and white photos.
05:17Your grandmother used to say,
05:19If you go there, you will stay on the same page for 10 minutes.
05:27You are always interested in the past.
05:30History is interesting because it has happened.
05:35Whatever you know about it is factual.
05:39You don't know about the actual future.
05:42This is factual.
05:44I think if periodic films are made well,
05:47this is the reason why everyone wants to go back.
05:51You also want the same world.
05:54We used to sit together in villages and fields.
06:00If a periodic film is made well,
06:03people get crazy for it.
06:13I will describe him like this.
06:17He is a very good actor.
06:20He didn't know that he is such a good director.
06:24I used to think of him as a good friend.
06:32I think actor and director are two different things.
06:36He is a very good person.
06:38He is sitting close to me.
06:40The sense of equality that you feel on his side,
06:44you don't feel that much.
06:53You don't feel that much.
