00:00I was watching a story, Salman Khan gave a shout-out to Vedika and you, the whole film.
00:05How are you? I don't know.
00:07Yes, I've also tagged them.
00:09What are you talking about?
00:10This is the breaking news.
00:12Where are you?
00:13There are clickbait headlines. I've seen the consequences of it.
00:16I've seen an interview or a line.
00:19It's a clickbait headline.
00:21There are no conversations out there.
00:23But yes, I don't want to go through the race.
00:26We've also had a box office, he broke it, he broke it.
00:31And we're always watching this.
00:33Manoj Bajpahi and all of you, what was it?
00:37He was a prank?
00:38He was a prank.
00:40He was different.
00:42He's like Anil Kapoor, Manoj Bajpahi.
00:46He's going to be young.
00:48You can't compare the box office with KGF and Salahar.
00:54Hi, I'm Ashree and you're watching me on Filmy Beat.
00:58Joining me today is someone who is raw, rustic and I would love to call him the most fearless filmmaker of our generation, the Anurag Kashyap.
01:07Anurag sir, welcome to Filmy Beat.
01:09Thank you so much.
01:10How are you sir?
01:11I'm very happy.
01:12I was very happy.
01:13I was very happy.
01:14I had a lot of things.
01:15Back to back promotions.
01:17Back to back promotions but I had a very good sleep last night.
01:19I'm very happy.
01:20You're getting up for your new film, Nishanchi, which we all are waiting for.
01:25You know the trailer, it's a typical Anurag Kashyap film.
01:29Because you have a different audience fans.
01:31It's a very strange film.
01:32It's a strange film.
01:33It's a strange film.
01:34It's a strange film.
01:35So let's start with the title itself.
01:37Very loaded title.
01:38How did you get the idea?
01:39What was it?
01:40No, it is because our character is called Bablu Nishanchi.
01:43Hmm.
01:44There was a title.
01:45And I think Nishanchi is on our own.
01:48The title was our very short title.
01:53And Ranjan Singh, our producer, said that it's not only one word.
01:57And he made it and saw how it would come to the screen.
02:00The film was made during the shooting.
02:02Hmm.
02:03I said, this is Salim Javed.
02:07It's the same film.
02:09And we should do something like that.
02:13And it's very show-less inspired.
02:16It's a poster.
02:17It's a title.
02:18Yeah.
02:19It's a title.
02:20Yes, yes.
02:21So, sir, what is Nishanchi?
02:23Revenge drama?
02:24Political thriller?
02:25Or something?
02:26No, no.
02:27Nishanchi is drama.
02:28Okay.
02:29It's drama, which is crime, which is redemption, which is punishment, which is consequences.
02:36There are consequences.
02:37There is a mother and her children.
02:39There is a mother.
02:40There is a mother and her children.
02:41There is a mother and her children.
02:44And what does she want to make and what happens?
02:48And her whole life, she is trying to keep things together.
02:53It's a journey of three decades of what happens.
02:56After the poster, there are newcomers.
02:59Especially Ashwarya's debut.
03:02So, do their casting.
03:04Their casting was on YouTube.
03:07We saw some monologues.
03:11It was a school monologue.
03:13Monoch Baaspega is written as a writer.
03:15So, I saw who this girl is.
03:17And I didn't know how to meet her.
03:19She is Maharashtra.
03:20She has been working on that monologue.
03:23I didn't know that she is Maharashtra.
03:25So, I told her to read the script.
03:28The character of Bablu Nishanthi.
03:30Do you work on that?
03:32Do you see Kanpur here?
03:34Kanpur is not like Shul or Asapur.
03:37It's very different dialect.
03:40Yeah.
03:41It's a body language.
03:43It's not just to speak.
03:46It's a body language.
03:48It's different.
03:49The attitude of Kanpur is that she is coming.
03:53We will have a film.
03:55We got a ring.
03:56We got a ring.
03:57We will give it.
03:58It's the same.
03:59It's also from Mumbai.
04:00Because we wanted her.
04:02And we had her face.
04:06The rest of us had to be able to work on it.
04:08So, when we reached a point,
04:10two or three years later,
04:12we went to a studio.
04:16We started looking for the film.
04:18We started looking for the film.
04:20And that's when Amazon MGM came on board.
04:25And then...
04:26This is the casting.
04:28We started casting.
04:29And then,
04:30the shooting of six months ago,
04:31Aishwarya told me that it will double.
04:34And how did he take that?
04:36He was shocked.
04:38But he was very excited.
04:40He was very different.
04:41He loves taking on challenges.
04:42Yeah.
04:43He himself decided.
04:44I said, the two will be very different.
04:46It was a very hard process.
04:49But he gave it everything.
04:51You have worked with a lot of actors.
04:53Aishwarya comes from a political background.
04:55Aishwarya comes from a privileged family.
04:57How different is he working with?
04:59No.
05:00I am an actor.
05:01I am an actor.
05:02Whether it is Nawazuddin.
05:03It doesn't matter who it is.
05:04It doesn't matter who it is.
05:05Because if I have a privilege of filmmaking,
05:08I don't work with them.
05:10I am an actor.
05:11I am an actor.
05:12I am an actor.
05:13And this conversation is very clear.
05:14Even before starting the prep.
05:16I mean,
05:17I knew who it is.
05:20And he told me that he is wrong.
05:22So,
05:23I met his mother.
05:24And in our conversation,
05:25There was a very clear conversation.
05:27I said,
05:28If I want to make a film,
05:29I can't do anything else.
05:31And
05:32He said,
05:34If something is good,
05:35I said,
05:36Run it by me.
05:38Because
05:39It becomes a difficult fight for me.
05:41But Aishwarya himself was very clear
05:43That he only wants to focus on this.
05:45So,
05:46I think
05:47That fight
05:48I don't have to fight.
05:49I do it with everyone.
05:50When I met Vedika,
05:52I said,
05:53I want to come home.
05:54Meet your parents first.
05:55And I met you.
05:56And I said,
05:57I said,
05:58You have done two things before.
06:00Yes.
06:01So,
06:02I said,
06:03I can't do anything.
06:04Because
06:05I will put it in preparation.
06:06And
06:07We will push it all.
06:10So,
06:11I want people to
06:12see her in a new fresh light.
06:14If she does something else,
06:15she will get bigger.
06:16Hmm.
06:17You have taken the name of Vedika.
06:19I am watching a story.
06:21Salman Ghan has a shout out to Vedika.
06:24And the whole film.
06:25How is that?
06:26I don't know.
06:27Yes.
06:28I have also tagged her.
06:29What is this?
06:30This is the breaking news.
06:32Where is it?
06:33In his Instagram.
06:35Vedika has a poster of your film.
06:37And he was really enjoying it.
06:39And he tagged you as well.
06:41So,
06:42how are you feeling?
06:43So,
06:44I will give you an organic reaction.
06:45I don't know this.
06:46I don't know this.
06:47I don't know this.
06:48No,
06:49I was surprised when Bachchan has posted a post on the trailer.
06:51I mean,
06:52these are all things that are happening first.
06:53But,
06:54Sir,
06:55when there is such a support for me,
06:56I am very happy.
06:58Bachchan has always supported me.
07:00And Bachchan has always supported me.
07:02I am very happy.
07:03I am very happy.
07:04Yes.
07:05But,
07:06I am very happy.
07:07Yes.
07:08But,
07:09these are all things that are happening first.
07:10Sir,
07:11you have always blurred the line between heroes and villains in the film.
07:12So,
07:13I am very happy.
07:14I am very happy.
07:15I am very happy.
07:16we are very happy.
07:17I am happy.
07:18I am happy.
07:19I am happy.
07:20I am happy.
07:21Yes.
07:22No,
07:23black and white.
07:24and clean.
07:25No,
07:27so it is not.
07:29I am happy.
07:30We are not happy.
07:31We are im-fling.
07:32We are happy.
07:34Yes.
07:35Kuasa and Krin.
07:36So,
07:37it is not my life.
07:38It is a true drama.
07:39we have watched in the 70s.
07:41A mother whether she is married,
07:43a mother is married,
07:44a mother goes to school for children.
07:45When the kids are out of the way, the kids are out of the way and the kids are out of the way.
07:50In the life, there are people who are villains, who live in their way.
07:56They keep in touch with the past, consequences, crime, punishment, full-on drama.
08:03There are so many songs, quackiness, humor.
08:08There is a lot of things we have seen in this film.
08:11Do you have any particular scene when you shoot a little bit of difficulty?
08:19Difficulty didn't come, I was nervous to shoot a double roll.
08:23Because I didn't shoot a double roll, which is in normal films.
08:31I didn't shoot a double roll, like the hair shirt and the hair style changed.
08:37I thought that there are two brothers and two human beings.
08:43There are many interactions between them.
08:46We have seen a lot of things in this film.
08:49So you are known for working on an unconventional script.
08:53What is your process of deciding? How do you decide?
08:57I am the right people. I have a very good team.
09:00I have a very good team.
09:01My cinematographers, Silvestr, and I was a production designer,
09:06I was a producer, Ranjan Singh, and Pilar Ajay Rai.
09:10These all are the same people.
09:13So, I have a team with all of them.
09:15I have a very good team.
09:17I have a very good team.
09:18And sometimes casting is very important for me.
09:21Casting is like a science.
09:22If you have a wrong casting, the whole team is wrong.
09:24So, sir, when you are writing, you know, since you are a writer also,
09:30and when you are writing, when you are writing the character,
09:32you are watching yourself?
09:34Or in society?
09:35No, no, no, no, no.
09:36Where do you come from?
09:37I don't know.
09:38I am the same person.
09:39They say that there is a person who is sitting inside.
09:42How do you come out?
09:44Where do you come from?
09:45Where do you come from?
09:46Where do you come from?
09:47Where do you come from?
09:48It's not my hand.
09:49It's done.
09:50I think you can find you.
09:51I do like that as a little bit.
09:52It's been a great character.
09:53It's just a great character.
09:54There was a great character.
09:55There was a pretty special character.
09:56There was a great character.
09:57There is a character who had solved his own stories.
09:59There was a character.
10:00There is a book of Yuri Ghandel in Kanpura.
10:02His story is called Plokko.
10:03There is written your name.
10:04There is a lot of stuff that is happening there.
10:09I had a lot of time with this story, so the story came out of me.
10:15When we started the interview, we started our discussion.
10:20You told me that I am very close to social media.
10:22I have seen it in an interview that now you have stopped reacting.
10:26I am working on it.
10:28See, I have seen the pitfalls of it.
10:33I have seen the consequences of it.
10:35I have seen my own people suffer because of it.
10:38I have seen people who have invested in me suffer from it.
10:41I have seen people who are emotionally or financially invested in me suffer from it.
10:46So, now I have decided that I will not do it.
10:52And I do not watch the phone and try to run away.
10:57On Twitter?
10:58I ran away from Twitter.
11:00I ran away from there.
11:02I ran away from there.
11:04I have deleted it.
11:05Social media is very strange.
11:07Social media is very toxic.
11:08It is very unnecessary.
11:10I keep the negativity away from it.
11:12Today, we don't even know about it.
11:15We don't even know about it.
11:17Why does it mean about it?
11:19Digital news.
11:20Because it has clickbait headlines.
11:22I have seen the consequences of it.
11:24I have seen the consequences of it.
11:26This is not true.
11:27It is a negative one.
11:28It is a negative one.
11:29I have seen it.
11:30A positive one.
11:31I have seen the consequences of it.
11:33It is a negative one.
11:34I have seen the consequences of it.
11:36We are going to interview you and go and submit the whole interview.
11:40What is the headline? It is not in your hands.
11:43It is not in your hands.
11:45But it will be my consequences.
11:47So, I know that the problem is okay.
11:51You have said consequences on social media.
11:55What is the trend now? Cancel culture or boycott culture?
11:59I don't understand cancel culture.
12:02Because I have always believed that people make mistakes.
12:08Why are people in jail?
12:12What was the main purpose of the jail?
12:15Rehabitate people.
12:17Yes.
12:18We are alcoholics who are in a rehabilitation center.
12:22They are drug addicts.
12:24They are in a hospital.
12:28In the same way, there is also a rehabilitation.
12:32A man is wrong.
12:34And you have to call out that wrong.
12:37But then you have to get the chance of healing.
12:40At night, a man is in social media.
12:43At night, a man is cancelled.
12:45At night, a man is viral.
12:47He doesn't get any chance to understand.
12:49He is the same person who is getting a new person.
12:52He is the same person.
12:53He is the same person.
12:54He is the same person.
12:55I am against him.
12:56I cancels it.
12:57I don't believe.
12:58If someone does problematical things,
13:00he does anything.
13:01I cancels it.
13:02If I have to say that,
13:04I cancels it.
13:05If it is a problem,
13:06I will be distant or I will talk to him.
13:09I will try to understand.
13:10If I have faith in him,
13:13I will try to understand.
13:14If it is a problem,
13:15I will try to understand.
13:16I will try to understand.
13:19I do not believe in this council culture at all.
13:22I am going on social media.
13:24I am seeing it as a whole of wokeism.
13:26I am seeing it as much.
13:28Extremism?
13:29Because it is posturing.
13:30Yes.
13:31I have a problem with posturing and badge wearing.
13:33Badge wearing and posturing is the most people do.
13:37They want to come across as intellectual,
13:39and this and that.
13:40We also see the people in cinema.
13:42Instead of promoting cinema,
13:44they promote themselves.
13:48I do not support.
13:49But sir,
13:50you do not support me.
13:51Because the audience is changing.
13:53The audience is changing.
13:54The perception is changing.
13:55I am making a film.
13:57Because I wanted to make a film.
13:59Okay?
14:00Now the audience is changing.
14:02I will make a film.
14:03And if it is my story,
14:05I will take the audience.
14:07Well,
14:08I was thinking.
14:09In the time of when the audience came.
14:10But I have a film,
14:11And in the time of the movie,
14:12And I have a film created Terminator.
14:13And Star Wars.
14:14Yes.
14:15People were jealous.
14:16People were jealous.
14:17Who did you make a film?
14:18and people who had a strong power in the story.
14:21Human emotions are universal.
14:24Now there are stories in the world where you say,
14:26if it has to be a strong power,
14:27it will not be a strong power,
14:28it won't be a strong power in your hands.
14:30In such films, people who have thought about it.
14:33Like Kannada, Tissu Framso, Loka,
14:36no one imagined it.
14:37No one did.
14:39And people who had imagined about the film
14:40and who had a risk, they couldn't ask.
14:44So the time changed.
14:46And the time has changed and there will not be any star system in my mind.
14:52You are as good as your film and your film might get picked up, might not get picked up.
15:01If it's good, it will reselect itself.
15:06You have played Laapta Ladies and Laapta Ladies. How was the Laapta Ladies on Netflix?
15:13Yes.
15:14It was good.
15:15It was very good.
15:16Pushpa was good.
15:17I am saying that there are good films in the film.
15:20There are many opportunities.
15:21If it's a theatrical release, we have made a good film.
15:25It's all the fate of this film.
15:27That's not the good film.
15:29It's not the good film.
15:30You have said that my film is 4-5 years later.
15:34Correct.
15:35What was the context?
15:37The context is that people generally only watch stars.
15:41The context is changing.
15:43The context is that the film is not coming to mind.
15:45It was complex.
15:47It was hard to think about it to be able to put them into action.
15:51And the audience is aware of it.
15:54The audience is aware of it.
15:55After 3-4 years, everyone started to talk.
15:58Yes, if that film has a time for release, and people talk about it, it also has confidence in us.
16:09Yes, sir.
16:09But eventually, if we are in the industry of 33 years, and we are in the industry, we are working in the industry, then we are working in the industry.
16:19How many changes in 33 years have been changed as a writer and director?
16:22I am very changed, I am very changed as a human being.
16:25If you are a writer and director, if you are a human being, then the writer and director is automatically changed.
16:31What is the biggest change in yourself?
16:33My whole focus is on me.
16:35At the time, there was a feeling that we will change the cinema, the industry, and I don't want to change anything.
16:39It is changing now.
16:41It is changing now.
16:42If there is an audience changing, then everything will change.
16:45My whole focus is on me, on my cinema, on my health, on my people.
16:51And I do not want to change anything.
16:55I celebrate the good things, I do not want to change anything.
16:59And what does not feel good, I do not want to change anything.
17:02Do you always say that I am a film for making a film, on your box office?
17:07Yes, I do not want to be a waste of money.
17:09Absolutely.
17:09I do not want to be a waste of money.
17:11But yes, I do not want to change anything in the race.
17:14I do not want to change anything.
17:14The race is that we have a box office, we have a broken, we have a broken, we have a broken.
17:19And we often watch this.
17:22As a journalist, we also get confused.
17:25Do you feel it is unfair to the film team, the numbers are not?
17:28Absolutely.
17:29It is unfair to the film.
17:30I am saying that it is okay.
17:31One film has broken the box office, and the other film has broken the box office.
17:36It is not bad.
17:37Absolutely.
17:38One of the most important examples, when I was in the last video, I was talking about
17:42Laopta Ladies.
17:43Yes.
17:44It is also commercial.
17:45And it is also good.
17:47Yes.
17:48Now, you cannot compare the box office with KGF and Salahar.
17:53But after 10 years, which film will be left in your heart?
17:57Yes, it matters.
17:59Absolutely.
18:00After that, sir, you have a very overwhelming video, where Manoj watched it, and you all
18:06went and said, what was the plan?
18:08He was a prank.
18:09He was a prank.
18:10He was a man.
18:11He was different.
18:12He was like, Anil Kapoor, Manoj was a young person.
18:17We see people who are comparing it to him.
18:22What is this?
18:24How do you do it?
18:25How do you do it?
18:27How do you do it?
18:28He has a lot of things.
18:29There are two two weeks, but he does not want to stop.
18:32He will go to another shoot.
18:33That means he does not want to stop.
18:36He is different.
18:37So that's why you are going to go.
18:39Yes, you are a legend.
18:40You are a guru.
18:41You are a maha purush.
18:43He is a maha purush.
18:45We have always enjoyed your film, Manoj Raksar, and wishing you the best of luck for Nishant
18:50Sanchi.
