00:00basically i want to have as much variety as possible in stories that i want to tell the
00:10people and not that i have actually thought about it that i want to have a particular subject like
00:16chatriwali which was a taboo topic or this one as a patriotic thing i usually select a story on
00:22the face of it if the story comes to me and if it is interesting i just grab it and that's the way i
00:30look at the films i don't look at it from the genre perspective yeah the way the stories are most they
00:38should be interesting enough to be told uh see mainly i have done hindi and marathi so being a
00:44marathi i understand the kind of audiences that we have in marathi speaking society especially in
00:51and we have a certain type of understanding we have a certain type of culture so when we are when
00:57i'm doing a marathi film i usually try and make something which is connected to the to the soil
01:03of the marathi audience marathi state and when we when we talk about hindi subjects we also need to
01:11understand that pan india we have a diverse culture we have many languages many cultures but there is
01:17something which is common and which is the which is the fact that we all belong to one nation bharat
01:22so that way i have to i keep keep that in in mind and try to talk about subjects which are common
01:31which have some common points for everybody so usually that is the difference also the scale that
01:38we talk about that also is a different in both in marathi and hindi so i think you have to just adapt to
01:45the situation and make a film accordingly
01:50okay based on it that i am in every way in marathi i feel as i feel like in
02:10but Telugu's budget and scale is quite big.
02:14In Marathi, you have a lot of limitations,
02:17but this is why I will say that filmmakers are quite smart when filmmaking is done,
02:21and the treatment of the way you find the way you can tell.
02:27Ultimately, the budget or the way you find one effect is,
02:35how effectively you can tell people.
02:39If it is effective, your film will be good.
02:49I think that was the need of the hour.
02:51Today, we are in a world where information is available on your fingertips.
02:55Anybody, any child is accessing internet very easily.
03:01Sometimes you don't even know what exactly that child is watching.
03:04So, it's always better to give a correct information at a correct age,
03:09and there is no harm in talking about matters which are extremely important for everybody.
03:15So, I think Chhatriwali was based on that thought that the entire family should sit together and talk about certain things which we thought as taboos, but they are not.
03:27They are very essential matters of our life.
03:35It was a delight because when you are actually working in your mother tongue,
03:40I think you are the most comfortable and with such a big actor, such a celebrated actor, you also have different energy.
03:52You feel elated, you feel happy about it.
03:54And also the kind of actor she is, the person she is.
03:58She is a very fine actress.
04:00She is also a director's actor.
04:02So, I never had a problem communicating with her,
04:06reaching out to her, sharing my ideas and getting the work done as a director.
04:11So, I think it was wonderful to work with Maduriji.
04:14See, whenever you have a subject like this, the actor needs to go through certain level of training.
04:25So, definitely Imran and other actors also went through that training.
04:29BSF helped us a lot in that.
04:31So, they trained the actor for 3-4 days.
04:34They told them how to hold the gun, what is the stance, what is the code of conduct, how to salute and all that stuff.
04:41So, as an actor, he had to sort of understand a BSF soldier's life from the point of view of doing the duty.
04:52So, definitely that went in.
04:54But more than that, he also tried to understand the psyche of the character.
04:59So, we talked about it a lot and Dubeji, whose character he is playing in the film.
05:05He was also instrumental in giving us more details of the character.
05:09So, I could actually take the details from Dubeji and give it to Imran.
05:14We had a lot of discussion about portraying certain elements of the film, certain parts of the character.
05:20So, that way he prepped himself and he got into the shoes of Dubeji and eventually he carried it on his own.
05:27So, he understood the character but he did not imitate.
05:30He is not a mimicry artist.
05:32He is an artist who actually blended the real life character into his own and he carried it with him.
05:39So, that's all.
05:40So, that's all.
05:41So, that's all.
05:42So, that's all.
05:43So, that's all.
05:44So, that's all.
05:45So, that's all.
05:46So, that's all.
05:47So, that's all.
05:48So, that's all.
05:49So, that's all.
05:50So, that's all.
05:51So, that's all.
05:52So, that's all.
05:53So, that's all.
05:54So, that's all.
05:55So, that's all.
05:56So, that's all.
05:57So, that's all.
05:58So, that's all.
05:59So, that's all.
06:00So, that's all.
06:01So, that's all.
06:02So, that's all.
06:03So, that's all.
06:04So, that's all.
06:05So, that's all.
