00:00Where are you at right now?
00:07I feel like you want to be a director.
00:11I don't know why I feel like it.
00:14I know you have made a documentary.
00:16I am making it.
00:18This is my third or fourth documentary.
00:21I did two documentaries for films division.
00:25I have done it before, so I am experienced in it.
00:28I don't talk about these things.
00:30I never tom-tom.
00:31I don't use social media.
00:33I am doing this or that.
00:35I just quietly go about my work.
00:37What is important is that my work should be good.
00:39I should be happy with it.
00:41I should release it.
00:43That is what is important to me.
00:46So, I have never talked about these things.
00:49Yes, I would love to direct.
00:51I will do something.
00:52But I would love to act also.
00:54Because you are making a documentary.
00:57You have interviewed half the industry.
00:59Yes.
01:00No, there is not so much.
01:01Yes.
01:02There are many films.
01:03Yes.
01:04I have.
01:05Yes.
01:06So, I suppose that you are taking a show in the 50th year.
01:09Yes.
01:10Somewhere.
01:11Somewhere in that celebration.
01:12Yes.
01:13So, I know that you are doing it.
01:16So, I am very active.
01:17Actually, I am very active in the office.
01:18I sit on the story sessions.
01:19I contribute as a writer.
01:20Literally.
01:21Would you like to assist Ramesh ji?
01:22Can you make that picture?
01:23He is working on one or two ideas.
01:24He wants to do one film.
01:25Yes.
01:26One more.
01:27Actually, he is quite excited about OTT also.
01:28You know, Mr. Sippy.
01:29When he was on television, he had done the serial.
01:30Yes.
01:31So, that is a medium he has been exploring.
01:32There is a serial he has worked on.
01:33Okay.
01:34And it is quite ready.
01:3570, 70%.
01:36He's working on one or two ideas. He wants to do one film. Actually, he's quite excited about OTT also. You know, Mr. Sippy, that is a medium he's been exploring. There is a serial he has worked on. And it's quite ready. 70-70% ready.
01:59The writing part of it. When it's ready, I think he might shoot that also. But film, yes, definitely. It's more containable. It's easier to do two things.
02:12Actually, film is still not happy with the scripts that he's been getting, honestly speaking.
02:17And he is the kind of man who feels good if he will do it. No, he will not do it. Why do it?
02:26Yes, why do it? So, every day he feels good, this is what I want to make. So, then we will make it.
02:31Okay. And I just wanted to ask you, after all these years of being with Ramesh Sippy, what are the films of his that you really like?
02:41You know, all his films are unique, if I watch it. When I watch it, it was so ahead of its time.
02:55Very.
02:57Correct.
02:59And in Sagan, the romance is so beautiful. Some scenes of Kamal Hassan, I can't get over. I mean, I've cried literally.
03:13Okay.
03:14When there are two scenes, I have cried. Okay.
03:18Shakti, my God, unbelievable. Yes.
03:22So, I don't know. It's very difficult to choose, if you say, which film is. I don't know. Every film, Mr. Sippy has never repeated itself.
03:31Yes.
03:32See, normally, directors, what happens is that, if a hit is historical, then it is historical.
03:41Because it becomes a comfort zone, that this is good for me, then I will make it. You know?
03:47If it is a thriller, then it is a thriller. If you watch Ramesh Sippy's film, you will see every film was different.
03:56Angaz, Sita and Gita, Shole, Shakti, Shaan, all of them. All of them. All of them. All of them. All of them. All of them. All of them.
04:06All of them that period.
04:08All of them, the period were there. Good. Okay.
04:09A couple of them were not successful also, which is fine.
