00:00BANDIT KUNEK

00:16BANDIT KUNEK is a really good, strong, serious and real film.

00:25I feel very proud of this.

00:30Together, we will feel very proud of our industry.

00:33Everyone enjoyed the film.

00:36It has been appreciated.

00:38Everybody knows about it.

00:39I should not talk much about it.

00:40Because everybody knows about it.

00:42It's really fun.

00:44It means that a raw feeling of film.

00:48In the industry, there will be a new trendset.

00:50People, who are trained in our film, are looking at the same kind of film.

00:56So, people probably want to take those subjects,

00:59which they want to take risks.

01:00But they understand that if they take risks,

01:02how will the audience react?

01:04That this film will not work.

01:07This real-life film will not work,

01:09if we can see more reality.

01:10I knew that it would be a difficult film to release in India,

01:12once I started shooting the film.

01:14And once I started working on the script,

01:16I knew it would be a difficult film to release in India.

01:19But then I never thought about it.

01:21I actually make films,

01:23normally at one point I stop thinking about the future,

01:26and start concentrating absolutely on what I have to do at that moment,

01:29and do what I believe is best for doing that thing at that moment.

01:33As an actress, she has a lifetime role for me.

01:38Every actor and actress has a dream,

01:41that she can do a lifetime role for me.

01:45It's a very challenging role.

01:46And as an actress,

01:47I always wanted to realize that,

01:49that I am a complicated,

01:51and challenging role for me.

01:54It's a very good role for me.

01:56For the first time,

01:57when I read Bandit Kun,

01:59I read the book of Mala Sen,

02:01and then I read the script.

02:03I was very moved,

02:06and I was very positive.

02:09I felt like,

02:10that I can only do this role.

02:26The casting director of Tishu,

02:31Tigma Shudhulia,

02:33he told me,

02:35that I would like to meet Shekhar.

02:38In those days,

02:39there was a lot of plays going on.

02:41The Tishu saw me in the plays,

02:43and he told me,

02:44that I would try this for this.

02:47So, Shekhar called us a day,

02:49and he saw the story,

02:52and he saw some plays,

02:54and he told me,

02:56that I would like to do this role.

02:59Shekhar didn't have a long time in the cast.

03:01He didn't have a long time in the cast.

03:02He didn't have any audition,

03:04or something to perform.

03:06No.

03:07He knew that he was a good actor in Delhi,

03:10in NSD,

03:11who could perform a good role.

03:15I remember,

03:16that when I had a relationship with Shekhar,

03:18the Shekhar didn't say that.

03:20Shekhar didn't say that.

03:21He didn't say that.

03:23It's a program,

03:25and he gave his dates.

03:27I didn't have to struggle with it.

03:30It may be that,

03:31that I worked in the theater,

03:32that I had worked in NSD.

03:33That's why I had a role.

03:34There's no glamorous photography in that film,

03:48and should not.

03:50When I wanted to do glamour,

03:52basically,

03:54what we want to say in a film,

03:56it will become a flat.

03:59That's the wrong way of doing it,

04:01and we should not look for that kind of glamour.

04:03First of all,

04:04I was very conscious.

04:05I was very conscious.

04:06That's why,

04:07the actors and actors,

04:08I don't know,

04:09loud.

04:10After every shot,

04:11I asked Shekhar,

04:12that Shekhar,

04:13that Shekhar,

04:14that's not loud.

04:15But,

04:17after seeing a film,

04:18after seeing a film,

04:19after seeing a film,

04:20after seeing a film,

04:21after seeing a film,

04:22after seeing a film,

04:23I had to find a very,

04:24I don't think it was a big difference.

04:27It was not that I had to control my performance.

04:31If you see a film,

04:32you don't feel that these characters,

04:34Chambal's characters are not,

04:35that some of the actors have acted from Bombay,

04:37some of the actors have acted.

04:38Probably the involvement of Shekhar's body.

04:41Because Shekhar has kept us

04:45It was very exciting to learn the language of Dhalpuri's language.

04:52It was very exciting to learn the language of Dhalpuri's language.

04:56It was the same way. We had a former Dacoit training.

05:01How do people survive here. It was a whole training.

05:05It was very exciting to learn the character.

05:08After watching the film, we feel the whole team spirit.

05:11It will show you the whole film.

05:15Director, no doubt.

05:18Cameraman, no doubt.

05:20Actors, spot boys and assistants.

05:26Every film is a great deal.

05:32it's good for a film, country.

05:36It's a great deal.

05:37It's a great deal.

05:39It's a great deal.

05:41If you get to see it,

05:43it's not a good deal.

05:45It's not a good deal.

05:47I think it's good.

05:48I think it's good.

05:49I think it's good to see it.

05:51It's good to see it at home.
