00:00Welcome team Grat Akeli here to INS. It's an absolute pleasure to have you with us on board.
00:07So firstly tell us how excited are you and how thrilled are you since the trailer has launched
00:13just now a few hours ago. So how excited and thrilled are the three of you for the show?
00:20On 1 to 10 I am 8, 9, actually 9. No I am also very relieved because you know you
00:29always want to like I mean for a thriller I think the trailer is the most important thing.
00:34So I think it's really hit the right spot and people are loving it so that's it yeah.
00:39That's right and I am of course very excited because this is such a work that is very difficult
00:49to do, to do a little effort, to do a little joy, but when it comes in front, it is a relief
00:56to do a lot of things that we have to do and thank God we have to do a lot of things.
01:00Right. This question is for you when you thought about this series, what made you think of them?
01:09Them? Nawaz bhai is a part of the first part.
01:12I am just saying that it's the second part.
01:14No it's all in the story. See and in the story there is a new family, a new family, a new story.
01:23Because the first universe is called Nawaz Bhai, Radhika and Ilha Ji are the other.
01:28Right, right. So it's a new cause in their life.
01:31So these people are different and that I created a different world.
01:34So for me I created a different world. So those who were also passed away in my vision,
01:41like Achilind Mishra Ji, Rajat Kapoor, Sanjay Kapoor,
01:46I think this is a correct palette, that's how I see this world, I went to them and graciously enough everybody said yes to me.
02:00Right, you know, continuing to this, every actor that you have on board for this season is a stalwart in their own niche.
02:09How difficult and easy was it because what happens when a new actor becomes?
02:12It's easy for them probably from my perspective, it must be a little more easy because they are still naive and they are still wanting to fit into the character.
02:21But everybody here is already a stellar performer and they know what exactly to do.
02:26So how difficult or easy is it for you as a director to direct such an ensemble?
02:30No, of course their experience and everything counts and that becomes a very very big support system when you are there.
02:39So that always helps during the pre-production because when you are narrating the script, when you are working with them on the scenes and where the discussion comes, that is the time when the experience comes.
02:52That is when the thoughts gets exchanged. You know, one on one when you meet and how to narrate and how to discuss what kind of question they have, if you can answer those kind of questions and what is the world you are looking at and how much they are in sync with your world.
03:09So all those things come at that. Once we all are on the same platform, then we go and shoot. So it makes it because everybody knows like what all need to be done.
03:19Yeah, they know their job well. Yeah. And they all are experienced. Yeah. And it's fun. After a point, it's fun. I was so happy. Like, I was just on one of the day and I was suddenly, I was like, you know, Nawaz bhai,
03:33Nawaz bhai, we have six directors on our side. So I will direct who I am. Nawaz bhai has also made a short film. Did you direct a short film?
03:43No, no, no. Play director. So Nawaz bhai, Rajat sir, Radhika, Deepti maim, Revati maim, director.
03:56There are like so many people who are there, you know, and Priyanka is also there who is playing Nisha Pal's role. She is also a director.
04:08Right. So there are so many people. So I was kind of relieved in a way, like everybody are not only actor, actor, but they are coming from a background, very enriching background.
04:21You know, their, their, their, their, their experience is helping everything. Right. And, you know, and, you know, and, you know, filmmaking definitely is a director's medium.
04:31But when you have all kind of energies together, they all comes to make that film. Yeah. So that, that film, director never wants to make that film. Right. Right. Right. Very well said.
04:41I don't buy this. Right. This question is for both of you. This question is for both of you.
04:45The question is for both of you. The question is that when there is an intense drama, right, as an actor, I'm sure it must be taking a lot more energy, a lot more thought process, a lot more,
04:55a lot more, I mean, acting beyond, I'm sure as an actor, you must be going through that phase. So how difficult or easy is it to, you know, fit into a show like this, that is pretty intense, dark and,
05:11is it like based on real life or by any chance or is it fictitious?
05:16Fictitious mostly, but you will see the glimpse of, you know, while watching the film, okay, this kind of a character we have heard about, this kind of a situation we have noticed somewhere, okay, this incident, we could relate.
05:33But something has happened some years ago or probably in a recent time, those kind of feeling, which I find is the most exciting part and that's how Smita writes and which I really love it.
05:43Right. So yeah, continuing with the question, how difficult or easy is it as an actor, easy toh nahi bolu mihi, how difficult is it ki aap four jap scene cut ho jai, usi aap break through karke you come back to normal, what kind of challenges do you face?
05:56I am not a smart actor that can switch on switch off.
06:03And I think that if my shooting for two months or three months, I will stay in that moment.
06:11I am not playing the mood actually, I am not talking about the mood, but in the back of the mind, I will stay in that moment.
06:17Until the shooting of the film is not finished, until there is a little un-easiness.
06:24So I would like to become a switch on switch off, but I am not being able to become it.
06:30And I do not want to become it, frankly speaking.
06:33So for me, this process is very difficult.
06:36When I was a character, Jatil, when I was shooting, I was very happy that I am in that process and in that world.
06:45Because it was very good.
06:47Sometimes I feel a little scared from the real world.
06:50So I also run away from it.
06:53Because this world I really like.
06:55The world I have been living for three months.
06:58I enjoy living for three months.
07:01Right. And what do they do?
07:04It's a story of that one night, one and a half day actually, right?
07:15Yeah, one and a half day.
07:17No, no.
07:18It's one night, right?
07:20No, no.
07:21No, no.
07:22No, no.
07:23No, no.
07:24No, sorry. Let's just not.
07:26No, so I mean, I just feel like it's the whole script is actually right from the beginning till the end.
07:33The end is very, very intense.
07:35And it is just around these people and the murders and the, you know, investigation.
07:40So, you don't want to get out of that because, you know, one, you have to go back to that mood again.
07:47Right.
07:48So, it's not like that.
07:49So, it's not cut.
07:50You know, the next take is set up.
07:51Exactly.
07:52So, you start laughing or listening to music.
07:53I can't do it.
07:54Just, I don't think,
07:55I don't think anyone's mind on set to come out of that mood.
08:00And that is, I think, because the director creates that environment for the, for the actors.
08:05So, I think, sort of on the way back home, shayad mein thoda I would listen to music just to, like, cut away from that moment, you know.
08:12Because the minute I'd come to the van in the morning and start doing makeup thire thire.
08:17I would start listening to that music.
08:19That puts me in that mood also.
08:21Because I want to tune into that mood and that.
08:24It's a world, it's an emotion.
08:27To set yourself into that emotion, you know.
08:29So, I would sometimes play music.
08:31I mean, I feel, you know, suddenly my frequency changes when I listen to the right music.
08:37So, I did do that to tune in every morning.
08:40But, I think thoda mushkil tha hai to stay that intense and that real with that emotion.
08:45It's repetitive na hojai.
08:47You know, sometimes you also feel like you get tired with a certain emotion.
08:51How happy can you be for how many days?
08:52How sad can you be for how many days?
08:54How sad can you be for how many days?
08:55So, sometimes you also need to break away from it.
08:57So, that you can come back fresh, you know.
08:59So, yeah, I was still figuring what was the best way to do it.
09:02But, I think what worked was on the way back, I'd listen to some other music and, yeah.
09:06Right.
09:07As sir rightly mentioned right now, ki ye bhale hi this is fictitious.
09:11But, iske kaafi zyada agara bolu, loosely based on Burari murder case jo bhi tha.
09:18Not at all.
09:19So, it's not.
09:20Aap ko lagta hai burari, mein toh bholta hum burari bhi ya aur bhi is bhot fare.
09:24I want to leave that thing on your interpretation.
09:26No.
09:27There's a lot many layers, more layers to it.
09:29Could be.
09:30I have no idea.
09:31Because the trailer kind of gave us a feel of, you know, Burari.
09:35But, on a fictitious level.
09:37Good.
09:38So, just say, as he was saying, ki there's a lot of, hum kahi wo kabhi na kabhi kuch na kuch suna hota hai, this, you know, storylines related.
09:47So, jab aap yeh story sun, sun raha hai hai, jab miya narrate hori thi, jab a offer aapte paas aya tha, what made you actually say yes to this offer?
09:56Because, I mean, of course, yeh toho aapka second hai.
09:59But, for you especially, what made you say yes to this offer, considering the kind of roles that you have already portrayed in your career?
10:05Yeah.
10:06Which have been very...
10:07No, this is very close to some, the kind of work that I would want to do and the kind of work that I've done.
10:11No, I said yes to it even before I heard the whole thing.
10:14Okay.
10:15I said yes to it when I was shooting for Houseful Five.
10:19Oh.
10:21Houseful Five, we were in London, yes, in a completely different planet altogether.
10:26Okay.
10:27You know, I mean, cinematically.
10:29And he called me, I mean, he messaged me, sorry, and he said, what are you doing January, February of next, this coming year?
10:35I said, I think I'm shooting with you then.
10:38So, it was a bit of that, like, I'm casting myself kind of thing.
10:42But, you know, I said yes to it, absolutely.
10:45Ki muje pata tha ki pehli film, muje bohat pasand hai tu, bohat jyada.
10:49So, everything about it.
10:51And I've said it so many times, whether it's the pace, the narrative, the people, the world, the characters, the intensity and not like the most obvious way possible.
11:02It's such a layered, you know, sort of direction.
11:05So, muje, I just loved everything about it.
11:08So, I wanted to be in it.
11:09And then, Meera, the character is, matlab, soni peh sohaaga.
11:13It's like, I didn't even expect it to be this good, honestly.
11:15To be offered a part like this, you know, I mean, I feel very happy that I'm part of this, yeah.
11:21Absolutely.
11:22Aap doona se poochna chaoongi ki, how was the experience of shooting with each other, firstly?
11:28Aar hum as viewers, not as journalists, as a viewer, may jana chaoongi ki, haam na, jub aapko individually dekhte hain, aap loog, aapko bhoat disay intense, aap bhoati actor wale woh feel dete hain.
11:40So, I want to know-
11:41I like this club.
11:42I don't mind being part of the club.
11:45I really want to know ki, aap looga ka conversation offset kaise hota hai usually?
11:50What is that, you know, banter that you guys have?
11:52What kind of banter is it?
11:53As a viewer, it's very, you know, makes me curious ki, aap looga ka conversation kaise hota hoga?
12:00Intense toh milpul nahi hota.
12:01Intense toh milpul nahi hota.
12:02Intense toh milpul nahi hota.
12:03I don't think, I think we look intense.
12:05I don't think we are, like, I don't know.
12:07But Samish, a lot of times, people used to ask me, aap kaunsi book padh rahi hain aaj kal?
12:11And I'm not so much of a reader.
12:12I don't know why they always-
12:14You come across as like an average reader.
12:15I know.
12:16It looks like so.
12:17I would always have to remember kuch, you know, some books.
12:19No, I don't know.
12:20It always was fun.
12:21Exactly.
12:22I think, muha lagta ki, jitne loog intense dikhaay dete na,
12:25woh fun mein bho utne meire khayals intense hota ho.
12:28Woh bhoat, ek boh hai contradiction hota hai ye.
12:32Jo funny isa dikhaay dete ho, ho sakta ho, ghar pe bhoat intense ya,
12:34Dostom bhoat intense rehta ho.
12:36Lekin, jaysay hume wok milta nahi,
12:38Toh hum kisi se kam nahi taip ho jata hai.
12:40Toh ho, teek hai hai.
12:42I think, humare discussions, kaffi kuch scenes ko leka ki.
12:46Haa, humara zyadha ter jo set pe,
12:47Kyunki itna moka hume mela nahi actually.
12:49Kyunki hum luk zyadha ter scenes ke baare mein,
12:51Kyunki of course,
12:52Woh film,
12:53Yeh film meisi hai rata ki liye,
12:54Ki aap isme,
12:56Aap se set pe jane ke baad,
12:58Aap ko chance mele ga hi nahi.
12:59Hmm.
13:00Hmm.
13:01Right, right.
13:02And yeah,
13:03I mean, if I got stuck like this one time,
13:05Toh mre Nawaz se actually mei matlab,
13:07Puch rei ki mei kya galat kar hiu.
13:09Because he was also on set,
13:10He was with me in the scene.
13:12Or scene mera tha,
13:13On ko sirf lines prompt kar niti.
13:15And then he had to keep doing it, you know.
13:17So, yeah, I mean,
13:19As he, he's a process.
13:21It's a process, yeah.
13:22And Deepti Ma'am aur Revati Ma'am aapke saath associated hain,
13:25Is show mein.
13:27How was it working with them?
13:28Because they have been in the industry for decades now.
13:31So, how was it working with them?
13:33Any particular incident that you would like to elaborate on?
13:36Or in general if I am.
13:38See, I have loved Revati Ma'am as Maggie.
13:41From the film Love.
13:43So, mera sabse pehle jo minne unse baat kare thi,
13:45Woh Maggie ke baare mein thi.
13:47Because I had loved Maggie.
13:48So, she was telling me about,
13:50Kaisa film shoot hoi thi, kya hua tha.
13:52And so for me,
13:53I mean, I have loved her as a director also.
13:55Jo nere kaam ki hai.
13:57So, hum, and,
13:58With Deepti Ma'am maine pehle inkar ik film hai jo mne ki thi.
14:00Toh min ko kaafi jaanthi hoi.
14:01Ek time pe,
14:02I also stayed with her.
14:03In her house actually.
14:04Oh.
14:05Yeah, because I had some accommodation.
14:07Bilkul pehle pehle,
14:08Jam mein Bombay aai thi.
14:09So, she's been,
14:10You know, I've known her.
14:11Bahaat achha laga hai.
14:12Of course.
14:13You know, it's really something that you sit and observe them.
14:15Ki wo kaise perform karri hai hai.
14:17I really enjoyed it.
14:18Yeah.
14:19Of course.
14:20We are so many senior actors.
14:22So, the great actor.
14:23Actor hain dono.
14:24Or, dousra actor jab.
14:26As an actor jab.
14:27Hum observe karri hai kisi ko.
14:29Toh hun ki ki kya khas quality hai.
14:31Us peh focus jata hai ki immediately.
14:32Ji se.
14:33Reepti Ma'am ka hai.
14:34Ki wo.
14:35Uh.
14:36Kuch details hoti hun ki.
14:39Jo woh khud.
14:40Merhe khahad se leke aati hai.
14:42Of course.
14:43Jo director batar raha.
14:44Lekin actor ka bhi.
14:45Khud ka bhi.
14:46Ike interpretation ho ta hai.
14:47Us character ko liek ki.
14:48Ki wo bhi hai.
14:49Toh hun ka.
14:50By the time.
14:51Jase se.
14:52Ek-doh bar.
14:53Rehearsal.
14:54Uh.
14:55Ek-doh bar.
14:56Rehearsal.
14:57Eh.
14:58Aak-doh bar.
14:59Rehearsal.
15:00Eh.
15:01Adka chrash.
15:02Whoh hath ba at.
15:03Neke aathe haa.
15:04He.
15:05Toh eise leke jaatei hi.
15:06Or jitna bhi aca actor ho ta ha.
15:07They haa aapni.
15:08Aapni.
15:09Aasa laytai ke,
15:10First time bhol raha haa.
15:11Ilearn kar ke aatei hi.
15:12Yeh eek.
15:13Buhut khubi.
15:14Ike deepti ji meh bhi dhe ki.
15:16Oh.
15:17Aasa laytai ki.
15:18Aarei.
15:19Yeh toh bilkul shayad thisi role ke liha.
15:21Behut hi.
15:22Asani se bhoede.
15:23Áram se chuki.
15:24Eta a experience of course.
15:26Because the actor always needs to be under it, so that he can take the possibilities of the character.
15:33If they are very confident, then you can't add anything in the process.
15:40By the way, when our process was in the process,
15:44you can slowly add on things.
15:47Finally, you can see that one character is like, yes, this is a character.
15:51So, I have given them a special quality.
15:53Just be open to learning.
15:56This question is for you, sir.
15:59This question is for you.
16:01This is a little off-topic.
16:03This is about work, hour, shift.
16:07As a director, what do you feel?
16:10And as actors also, what do you feel?
16:12Because Radhika has been pretty much a new mom.
16:15Was it easy? Was it difficult?
16:17What was your takeover?
16:19I think it's very subjective.
16:21And it's a community.
16:24And where the understanding plays a very important role.
16:27And it's not about 8-hour or 10-hour or 12-hour.
16:30I think that if someone has a necessity,
16:33a valid and genuine reason,
16:36one should be considered enough.
16:38Because they are those actors.
16:40As I feel like I have called them for 6 hours.
16:44Or if I need one day or another,
16:46they also gave me that.
16:48Radhika?
16:49Yes, Radhika.
16:50Radhika.
16:51Radhika has also accommodated me.
16:54Radhika has pushed my flight with me.
16:56I think it's very subjective.
17:00It's very subjective.
17:01The relationship between director, producer, actor is not so big.
17:04I feel like it's a small thing.
17:06It's not a big deal.
17:07I feel like it's not a big deal.
17:09I feel like it's not a big deal.
17:10And I feel like it's not a big deal.
17:12I feel like it's a big deal.
17:13Fair enough.
17:14Yeah.
17:15Yeah.
17:16And just as actors,
17:17what do you guys feel on the same topic?
17:19I think just as they have said,
17:21it's exactly the same.
17:22I think it's very subjective.
17:24It's a very individual relationship situation.
17:27I don't think you can put down very hard and fast rules on this.
17:30Because there is no industry.
17:32Like I always say,
17:33if you have to finish the D.I. for 3 hours,
17:35you have to give a film.
17:37At that point, if you start to say,
17:40that's the flexibility of this industry.
17:43It's not a corporate.
17:44You can't swipe cards and enter and leave.
17:47I don't know if they'll corporatize it to that extent.
17:51I don't know.
17:52Maybe.
17:53But just as everyone has said,
17:54that a very human,
17:56in that it is that,
17:57you know,
17:58you know,
17:59actors sometimes understand director.
18:01It's not going to happen.
18:02Set up.
18:03You know,
18:04these are just things you have to work around.
18:06So I feel,
18:07yeah,
18:08that's what I feel.
18:09Yeah.
18:10And so lastly,
18:11I would like to know you.
18:12Last question,
18:13Rishida.
18:14From Lagero Hunna,
18:15how do you see your journey from the night?
18:18That's interesting.
18:19It's great.
18:20It's great.
18:21It's great.
18:22It's great.
18:23It's great.
18:24It's great.
18:25It's great.
18:26I feel like you've seen your graph,
18:27but you can see your graph.
18:28How do you see your graph?
18:29It's great.
18:30It's great.
18:31It's great.
18:32I feel like it's great when I do this kind of cinema,
18:34like Rata Kelly.
18:35Or this kind of.
18:36And when you experiment,
18:38like for example,
18:40recently Thama released,
18:42who worked on the movie,
18:43like that,
18:44like the actor.
18:45Like the actor,
