Mumbai: In an exclusive Interview with composer turned producer Anshul Garg, where he discussed his debut film venture 'Ek Deewane ki Deewaniyat', praised the team's efforts and attributed the film's success to its relatable storyline and talented cast. He shared insights into the film's production, highlighting the challenges of transitioning from music to film. After that, he emphasized the importance of following one's passion and intuition, citing his own experience. In the end, he announced plans to continue making music and exploring film projects, with a new film slated for announcement soon.
00:00Honestly, I didn't expect that for day 1, day 2, day 3, whatever happened with this movie, I had not expected that we would go to this level, but I had good expectations.
00:17But as a first-time producer of a film, you've done music before, was it a daunting experience? It is a gamble at the end of it.
00:25It is a gamble, but my photo is music, and I knew whatever I do, at least what would happen is that I'll recover my money from my music.
00:36So I thought that I made a film, and of course the script I really liked. The actors, I liked both. So I thought that it was done.
00:46But transitioning from music to film, was that a conscious choice or just happened?
00:52No, I wanted to make films. Eventually my thought was to make films later.
00:57But this film came suddenly into my life, and we also quickly jumped on it, and we did it again.
01:06Correct me if I am wrong, making a music video is way more easier than making a film. Is that right?
01:13See, making a music video, I'll tell you why I keep working on songs. And then, like, overnight I think of a song that is November.
01:26So I have to add this type of music in November. So I'll call Raghav. Raghav will do the casting quickly. He does it overnight. He's like the quickest in it.
01:38So we'll discuss it at 3-4 p.m. on the phone. He'll say,
01:43Look, look, the options will select. Next morning, we'll lock it. And within two days, we'll plan the shoot.
01:50And in 4-5 days, we'll release it. That is the process of doing a music video.
01:55A film, we shot the film, and after that two months straight, I remember every day from 3 p.m.
02:04I started working at 3-3.30 p.m. till 4 in the morning. I was working for 60-65 days straight.
02:10Then, we'll be able to land this film very difficult.
02:17So there is a way. This is a very big world.
02:20In music video, you have to just put it out digitally.
02:23You have to have sensor certificates.
02:25To release it in theaters.
02:27You have to keep certain things.
02:31You know, there are deliveries.
02:33There are international deliveries.
02:35So it was a very big world. And it was really fun.
02:40How did you talk about the movies genre? We've seen that before.
02:43Like this, toxicity, the obsession. We've seen that before.
02:47But what is according to you?
02:49Probably like an ingredient that struck with the audience.
02:52Because we've seen the genre before.
02:54But what is the genre of this film?
02:57If you watch any film, you can relate it to another film.
03:03Every genre has been repeated.
03:08You have to give a fool. You have to give a car. You have to give a car. You have to give a car. You have to give a private jet.
03:14It seems similar to you. It seems similar to you.
03:17It seems very similar to you.
03:18It is ingredients in the entire market.
03:20The director and my actor are available to you.
03:24It is, I think, I feel like everyone has a taste and a flavor.
03:29A chef who is in a restaurant.
03:31All chefs have ingredients of the ingredients of the dal makhani.
03:34But in a particular restaurant, you have to go to the dal makhani.
03:39So, I feel genre, one sided love.
03:46This country has a lot of girls.
03:48I am a lot of girls. My best friend is Gaurav.
03:50He has a whole life in one sided love.
03:53So, that genre, I think, has a lot of people like it.
03:56People relate to it.
03:58People relate to it.
04:00So, I thought that there is a romance in the picture.
04:03So, it will have songs.
04:05So, my songs came.
04:06Then, Harsh and Sonam's acting came.
04:09Milab Zawiriev has done a good job.
04:12The picture has become good.
04:13Basically, you had a hot pot of perfect mix.
04:17Milab sir, you, the two stars.
04:19It's a perfect hot pot, right?
04:20Yes.
04:21But, if we talk about the movie.
04:23Do you have any comparisons?
04:26People have said that this film seems like this.
04:30This film is like this.
04:31This film is like this film.
04:33And did that kind of like bog you down?
04:37See, after watching pictures, people always say that.
04:41I will give you an example.
04:43I have a song called Gulli Mata.
04:44There are about 500 million on YouTube.
04:46My internal team told me that this song is in Arabic.
04:50So, how will it go?
04:52How will it go?
04:53Half of the people listen Arabic,
04:54half of the people listen Indian.
04:56So, it's not going to work.
04:58But, the music, the thing that you listen to the language.
05:02It means that you don't know anyone in this room.
05:06But, they listen to that song.
05:08They dance to that song.
05:09So, the critics internally and abroad,
05:13people say that I will say that
05:16whenever you do something,
05:18what your heart says.
05:19You do that.
05:20And, you don't have to think about it.
05:22When you're running around,
05:24when you're running around,
05:25you're on the side.
05:27So, if you know where you have to reach,
05:29you will definitely reach.
05:31Also, my last question.
05:32Since you've done a film as a producer,
05:35will music take like a backseat for you?
05:38And now, would you focus more on films?
05:40I will definitely make films.
05:41I will definitely make films.
05:42But, I thought that I will make one or two films in the year.
05:46Music is going to be a major part of my film.
05:50I will release more music.
05:52Because, if I have released this film in non-films,
05:55it will not work.
05:57Because, you have to experience this music in the theatre.
06:01So, I have to experience this type of music.
06:04So, I'm going to do one or two films at least in a year.
06:13Music can never take backseat.
06:15That is how I started.
06:16That was the beginning of my journey.
06:18And, I will never leave that.
06:21I will tell you that the music is correct.
06:25And, I'm not going to stop that.
06:28You just said that you want to dab on me for more.
06:31What's in the pipeline?
06:33There's one film that we are working on.
06:35And, probably in December, I'm going to announce that film.
06:39Anything else?
06:40I'm almost done with my interview.
06:41What else would you like to say?
06:43I would like to say,
06:44I would like to say,
06:46Please, go and see.
06:47There's a new producer in the industry.
06:49Support that producer.
06:51A director, who was 4 years old at home,
06:53He came back to me.
06:54He came back to me.
06:55He came back to me.
06:56He came back to me.
06:57Both actors are very good.
06:59You know, Sonam Bajwa,
07:01a Punjab heroine.
07:03How much he can do that in Hindi.
07:05He came back to me.
07:06He came back to me.
07:07Harshwar Dhanra has already
07:088 years ago.
07:09He came back to me.
07:11Then, the other picture of the film
07:13I have given a blockbuster.
07:15Please support that actor.
07:16And, everyone will go to the theatre.
07:19I didn't sell satellite or digital rights.
07:22I didn't sell it.
07:23Although, I had offers before releasing my film.
07:26But, I didn't sell it.
07:27Because, being the producer for the first time,
07:29I wasn't getting the price that I should.
07:31The product that I have made.
07:33So, I didn't sell it.
07:34All the people around me,
07:36the biggest of the biggest producers were telling me,
07:38that we don't put the picture in the hands of our digital or satellite rights.
07:42How are you thinking about this?
07:44But, that's really gutsy.
07:46It is gutsy.
07:47I feel, you have to believe.
07:49Today's date,
07:50people have made a factory.
07:52The picture is okay.
07:54The director is okay.
07:55The actor is okay.
07:56The director is okay.
07:57The actor is okay.
07:58The music director is okay.
07:59So, if you have the passion,
08:00the old producers and directors
08:02who work with the passion,
08:04they start working with that way.
08:07So, you will make a picture of the blockbuster.
08:09I have made a picture of 25 crores.
08:10I have made a picture of 50 crores.
08:11I have made a picture of 50 crores.
08:13I have made a lot of crazy magic.
08:15I got on to this film in 10 days.
08:18I have made a picture of 10 days before this.
08:20If I have made a picture of 30-35 days before I shoot my film,
08:26it will be very easy and it will be very comfortable,
08:30and I will better because I do this.
08:32This is what I feel.
08:33Davi speaking to you,
08:35a question.
08:36I just have to go into my mind.
08:38Do not mind any more?
08:39Your moustache is pretty interesting.
08:41Qaise and why?
08:43I was born in Dholpur.
08:46I am originally from Rajasthan.
08:48So, I have seen in my childhood,
08:51I have seen people having really thick and big moustaches.
08:54And we are forgetting our culture, we are going to move forward, we are going to be modern, we are going to follow Western culture.
09:01So I wanted to keep this moustache which brings back my state, Rajasthan.
09:09Whenever I travel, people always like how you are saying that you are meeting me and you are saying this moustache is what is this.
09:18So I want to bring my culture, I want to make international music, I want to meet international artists, I want to meet people from abroad.
09:26So they get to know that this is a Rajasthan moustache, it's a thing in India, it's a place in India.
