00:00First of all, congratulations to you sir. I'm really intrigued by the trailer.
00:07First thing first, why Manoj sir for Inspector Zende and why Jim sir for
00:13Chaal Sob Raj, name changed. Kaal Bhuj Raj, Inspector Zende.
00:19Why not?
00:24We were always looking for an actor who can take the shoulder of the entire film with him.
00:30And also be relatable, kyunki Inspector Zende ka jo kirdaar hai, wo baur relatable hai.
00:37And when we went to Netflix with the film, the mutual choice, the unanimous name that came from them and from us was Mr. Bajbhai.
00:49And then we went to him and thankfully he agreed to do the role.
00:52And by that time we were so focused on Inspector Zende that I at least had not thought ke if we get our Inspector Zende, who is going to play Kaal?
01:03But when finally that, you know, that bridge came ke ab Kaal kaun hai.
01:09So Om actually, our producer Om Rauti suggested the name of Jim Sarp.
01:16And I have seen his performances in Neeraja, in Padmavad, in Sanju, in Rocket Boys.
01:21And I was like ke bang on hai, we should meet him and if he decides to come on board, it will be like a fantastic, you know, face-off between Manoj sir and Jim.
01:32Because two great actors coming together.
01:35And thankfully, Jim also came on board.
01:39So, yeah, that is how it happened.
01:41So, here we can see that Inspector Zende's name, it's as it is, like what it was there in official records.
01:48Yeah.
01:48But Charles Shobaraj has been changed to Kaal Bhojraj.
01:54We know someone called Kaal Bhojraj.
01:56We don't know anybody called Charles Shobaraj.
01:58Ami ki nahi hai hai.
02:01See, we are making a film on Inspector Zende.
02:04And we are making a film on a criminal that he caught.
02:07Of course, we have named him Kaal Bhojraj.
02:10He is based on a person in real life.
02:15But Inspector Zende, we have kept the actual name, Madhukar Bapurao Zende, the full name.
02:21Because we were lucky enough to get in touch with the real man, the real Inspector Zende.
02:26And he very kindly gave his consent to, you know, use his name to make a film on this adventure that he had in his real life.
02:35So, that is why Inspector Zende.
02:37Manu sir, I read somewhere, I don't remember, that generally, you are not offered roles of rich man.
02:46You know, Amir logon ke role apko often he hottein, middle class type ke role offer hottein.
02:51So, middle class vakeel, middle class police officer, spy, all these.
02:56Aapne abhi recently kuch asa aspire kar rahe hai hai ki, to shift from these kind of roles and do some romantic roles or something like that.
03:05Manu sir, class is something that you don't look for.
03:11You look for good characters and good friends.
03:14It's not, you are not considering the class that he comes from.
03:17He's played Raja sahab in Zubeda.
03:19Yeah, I've played in Zubeda, so what more.
03:21That, you know, somewhere that work has established, even in Vizera, that, you know, these are the works I established that I can, I can, I can actually work in all kind of classes.
03:35Yes, I can, but I, personally, I enjoy doing these roles.
03:42I enjoy playing common people because I relate to them.
03:47Immediately, each and every character that I read, I feel that, you know, somewhere I have seen him, you know, somewhere, somewhere I have seen him in my life or somewhere I have seen him in some documentary.
04:00I have seen him in my, in my initial days in Mumbai, traveling in a train.
04:08As in, I, see, what happens that when we were doing theater, the observation was a big, big exercise for all of us.
04:15And once I spoke to one director and I said, you know, we can't be observing all the time because people will eventually beat us up.
04:25Why are you looking at me?
04:26You know, he said, he, he made it very easy.
04:30He said that, you know, actor is someone who is, who is so, observation is so much part of his personality that even if he is not looking at, at that guy, he is observing.
04:43So make it part of your personality.
04:45So we have, all of us, actors are like that.
04:48We are observers of our own life.
04:50We are observers of the people's life or what's happening in the society.
04:57So, when someone comes to the character, I think that I have seen him.
05:00And at the same time, I feel that the person who is traveling in, in a local train, coming from Biraar every morning, after making his food or after helping his wife to clean up the house or clean up the kitchen,
05:13cooking his, cooking the food with his, with his wife, waking up the children and do all this stuff in the household and then get out to take the train to go to his office in Achachate.
05:40You know, I find them, I find this quite fascinating.
05:47I don't think, I don't think there is a bigger hero than a, than a middle class common man.
05:52They are, they are, they are, they are the heroes of everyday life.
05:57They are conquering that day, every day.
06:00So yeah, there is a, there is a reverence for them.
06:05To, to give, to give an answer to your question, in the end, I would say that, I can play the elite very beautifully.
06:14It's, it's just that they have to be part of a great script.
06:19Yeah, like Jughnuma.
06:21Like Jughnuma.
06:22Yeah, he plays a, the owner of a giant orchard and a state and he plays it beautifully.
06:28Yeah, we did that story yesterday.
06:29Very beautifully.
06:30So, it's a Maharashtrian character.
06:34So, was there any effort to bring that Maharashtrian accent or that whole thing?
06:40We live in Maharashtra.
06:41We live in Bombay.
06:43So most of the time, the people that you are interacting with,
06:48everyone talks like this, now my Hindi is also finished.
06:51Until then, we have to understand how he has to understand how he is going to understand how his language is going to understand how his language is
07:10in Mumbai or in the Maharashtrian accent.
07:15Our children, when you deal with them,
07:20their Hindi is Mumbai's Hindi, in a way.
07:24Your wife also tries to speak Hindi,
07:28she is also Mumbai's.
07:31Your staff, they are all from here.
07:35So you are left with no choice.
07:37Then you are working with a director who is a Marathi guy.
07:41You are working in a production which is owned by Om Raut.
07:46So yeah, our day-to-day life is such that
07:49we don't need to observe,
07:52we don't need to do different efforts.
07:55So we live in Mumbai,
07:57so we have to talk so much in the same way
08:02because we have to communicate with people here.
08:05So our Hindi is like that.
08:07But what was the case with Chinmay?
08:09When I use a Marathi word,
08:12it should be right.
08:14So Chinmay used to help me with all the Marathi words.
08:19And also, Chinmay is an actor.
08:23There was a lot of help in performing things,
08:28with a language, with a gesture,
08:31with a character,
08:32with a character,
08:33with a character,
08:34with a character,
08:35with a character,
08:36with a character.
08:37Now coming to you sir,
08:39this character is someone
08:43who has been read by different generations.
08:47Like even when we were in school,
08:49we were used to.
08:50Somehow,
08:51this gangster,
08:54he has been fascinated by the 90's
08:56and early 2000's generation,
08:58if I am not wrong.
09:01Even in the 80's?
09:02In the 70's.
09:03Yeah.
09:04Because I know in the 90's,
09:06I will talk about the 90's.
09:08So,
09:09was there a conscious effort
09:11that you have to bring something extra on the screen
09:15to take that character
09:16or to take that character?
09:19No.
09:20No, I don't think so.
09:22I know that
09:24there have been so many representations
09:26of the character before
09:28in a variety of different things.
09:30Hollywood,
09:31Bollywood.
09:33Spoofs.
09:34Spoofs.
09:35Spoofs.
09:36All of it.
09:37But,
09:38the script is so clear
09:41that it's Inspector Jende's journey.
09:44So,
09:45we are following that journey,
09:47most of all.
09:48So,
09:49most of what I did is,
09:51did some research on the person.
09:53Look,
09:54watched interviews.
09:55As many interviews as I could get
09:56because I found that to be the best.
09:58And I didn't watch any other previous
10:00representation of him.
10:02None.
10:04So,
10:05I don't have a clue
10:06how mine compares to theirs.
10:08I actually,
10:09honestly,
10:10don't know.
10:11I just tried to be true
10:13to the original source material
10:14as opposed to interpretations
10:16that have happened along the way.
10:17And his interviews were the best for that.
10:19So,
10:20I just did that.
10:21Did you see that documentary
10:22which is already on Netflix?
10:24Documentary on?
10:26Netflix.
10:27I think there is one.
10:28It's not a documentary.
10:29It's a series.
10:30It's a proper...
10:31The serpent.
10:32It's not a documentary.
10:33It's not a documentary.
10:34Yeah.
10:35It's an interpretation of the character
10:36by an actor and the director.
10:37So,
10:38I didn't want to watch that.
10:39I didn't want to watch an interpretation.
10:41I wanted to watch the real guy.
10:43So,
10:44I just watched interviews.
10:45And there are many, many interviews
10:46you can find of him online.
10:47Yeah.
10:48That's what I stuck to.
10:49Yeah.
10:50Yeah.
10:51So,
10:52this question.
10:53Whenever I see you playing different kind of characters,
10:54you mostly...
10:55Like,
10:56I'm not telling about each and every character,
10:57but if I talk about like percentage.
10:59So,
11:00you mostly play urban character because,
11:02obviously,
11:03it's more suitable.
11:04Do you ever crave to play some very rustic,
11:08very desi,
11:09you know,
11:10something that Saif Ali Khan did in Omkara
11:12and the whole career graph will change.
11:14Yeah.
11:15Yes.
11:16Definitely.
11:17Definitely.
11:18He's a brilliant actor.
11:19He will pull it off.
11:20Yeah.
11:21So,
11:22that's what I mean.
11:23So,
11:24that's what I mean.
11:25So,
11:26that's what I mean.
11:27So,
11:28I would like to know about that.
11:29Definitely.
11:30I would.
11:31I would love to.
11:32So,
11:33I'm asking which,
11:34if you can tell me about any one of those characters,
11:35kisi rustic character mein,
11:36agar aapko kisi a particular kind of character play
11:39karne ka mela.
11:40So,
11:42I would like to know about your side.
11:43No,
11:44there's nothing,
11:45one particular character that I think to play
11:47and I even,
11:48I also don't watch things very often and think,
11:51oh,
11:52I wish I got that role,
11:54you know,
11:55because,
11:56again,
11:57it's an interpretation with the director and an actor
11:58and I can't say that that's the one that I would like to do.
12:01I hope that the one is still to come and it will come
12:04and then I'll get a chance to do it.
12:07Sir,
12:08talking about the research,
12:09because these kind of film,
12:11it requires a lot of research.
12:12So,
12:13obviously,
12:14online bhoat kuch available hai.
12:16Aap,
12:17joh,
12:18police record mein,

12:28Apart from that online.
12:29See, in fact,
12:30ironically,
12:31the criminal,
12:32has been documented more than the cop.
12:36Right.
12:37So,
12:38unke baare mein,
12:39kitabeyi likhi ja chuki hai,

12:51And as far as Mr. Jende is concerned,
12:54he himself is there,
12:56a rich source of,

14:26Nain,
14:27mtlb,
14:28joh ka haani kehani thi,
14:29woh eek,
14:30uh,
14:31one hour,
14:32forty seven,
14:33fifty minutes ki film mein,
14:34keha pa raha hai,
14:35aur,
14:36ah,
14:37baut,
14:38ah,
14:39ah,
14:40ah,
14:41ah,
14:42ah,
14:43ah,
14:44ah,
14:45ah,
14:46ah,
14:47ah,
14:48ah,
14:49ah,
14:50ah,
14:51ah,
14:52ah,
14:53ah,
14:54ah,
14:55ah,
14:56ah,
14:57ah,
14:58ah,
14:59ah,
15:00ah,
15:01ah,
15:02ah,
15:03ah,
15:04ah,
15:05ah,
15:06ah,
15:07ah,
15:08ah,
15:09ah,
15:10ah,
15:11ah,
15:12ah,
15:13ah,
15:14ah,
15:15ah,
15:16ah,
15:17ah,
15:18ah,
15:19ah,
15:20ah,
15:21ah,
15:22ah,
15:23ah,
15:24ah,
15:25ah,
15:26But now that we have this option,
15:28but for this story, I don't feel like it should be a series.
15:32Because it's a story from 16 March, 6 April,
15:37that's the story of 21 days.
15:39So, for that, I think that film is enough for me.
15:42Sir, these days, like a lot of actors of your era,
15:48they are doing romantic roles.
15:51Who are they?
15:51Madhwan, sir, was on Netflix.
15:53Madhwan was, he started as a romantic role.
15:58So, there's one term that I really got,
16:01you know, it was really a nice term,
16:03when he spoke about age-appropriate romantic roles.
16:08Are you also, you know, wanting,
16:11do you want to do any kind of romantic role?
16:13We have quite a romantic dance.
16:17I think you should wait and see.
16:23Definitely, you can't imagine Madhwan or me
16:32doing a 25-year-old,
16:35falling in love with a 20-years-old girl, right?
16:38You can't, I mean, will definitely not.
16:40I personally will not touch
16:42and take that kind of a risk in this life.
16:44But, if there is a good script,
16:48which is, and the role is age-appropriate,
16:52why not?
16:54The love doesn't have,
16:58it doesn't limit itself to the age, right?
17:00So, if there is a very fine script,
17:04which has a great romantic story
17:07about two middle-aged aging people,
17:11why not?
17:11You said, you don't observe somebody,
17:17like, whenever you are preparing for some character,
17:20so, if you observe someone a lot,
17:23you might get beaten up.
17:25So, has it ever happened that you got scolded,
17:28beaten up, or anything?
17:29This is the question for both of you.
17:30No, I mean, I'm guilty here.
17:38I just get stuck.
17:45Yeah.
17:46Okay?
17:47And this has been a very bad habit.
17:50Though it was completely harmless,
17:52I'm observing two people,
17:54suppose I'm observing a couple there,
17:58and I'm finding it quite interesting
18:00the conversation that is going on,
18:01the body language,
18:03and I'm just observing,
18:05and I'm stuck there.
18:07I'm not doing anything.
18:09I'm just observing,
18:11and that happened in London,
18:14in a mall,
18:16and suddenly the guy came to me and said,
18:18What's your problem?
18:19Yeah.
18:20What's your problem?
18:21I said, nothing.
18:23Why are you staring at us?
18:25Nothing.
18:26I was not staring at you.
18:28No.
18:30That made us uncomfortable.
18:32Oh, my God.
18:33And luckily, my wife,
18:36you know,
18:37nick of time she arrived
18:39with her clothes that she shopped
18:42with my child,
18:43and I got saved.
18:45Believe me.
18:45So, it's a,
18:49it's unconscious.
18:51It's unconscious.
18:52I'm a complete voyeur.
18:54I mean,
18:54if they wouldn't look back at me,
18:57I would keep staring for a while.
18:59It just happened.
19:00Sahana,
19:00I was just watching Sahana,
19:02she was looking at her nails,
19:03and she was waiting for the thing to start,
19:05and she was playing with this thing,
19:07and then I was just watching it,
19:08and then I was like,
19:08okay, look away.
19:09And then she looked up and caught me,
19:12so then I imitated
19:12that I was just watching this,
19:14I wasn't doing anything else.
19:15You know,
19:16it has to be clear.
19:17The best place to observe,
19:19best place,
19:20I personally feel that
19:21the best place to observe people
19:23is the bus stop.
19:26Oh, so good.
19:27It's so amazing.
19:29And you can create a back story on your own,
19:32just people standing and waiting for the bus.
19:36If you look at them from a distance,
19:39it's a,
19:40it's a whole lot of different game altogether.
19:45Yeah.
19:45And as an actor,
19:47that can be a great exercise,
19:48that each and everyone that you look at,
19:51you can actually see them
19:53and make your own story,
19:55keeping that guy in the center.
19:58It's so lovely.
19:59I just,
20:00and I have seen many of the breakups happening in Delhi
20:04and they're happening at the bus stop
20:06where the girl is crying
20:06or the boy is crying.
20:07Please don't leave me.
20:08No, no, no, no.
20:09Some breakup happening there.
20:11And,
20:12and you see,
20:14really,
20:15life's changing at the bus stop.
20:17The entire world is there.
