00:00Naveen sir first of all welcome to INS. Thank you.
00:03And Naveen sir, first of all you would like to know, what was the reason that you made you do this film?
00:30I was very happy because when you have so big star cast, you always have a lot of space, you will have to get the opportunity to see how much space you will get, how much space you will get, how much space you will get, how much space you will get.
00:59You will get the recognition, you will not get.

03:38jana ah hum aur jub ye scenes thae johan peh hum ah intensity convey
03:46kar rahe thae toh woha pe as an actor merah yeh hi tha ki scene mein zirurat kia hai scene

05:07joh karthate thae, hum uske sath unke, unke sath usme interact karthate thae.
05:11toh humaar ko pata choja tha, kai bhar kiya hoata kai ah bade actors ke sath ah unke
05:16pas etna time nahi hota ki woh baqi actor ke sath coordinate karke scene kar sake, unka
05:21alag se liya jata hai, baqi actor ka alag se liya jata hai. Toh kai bhar unki joh

06:47mire ko woh hasmukh character, woh me ko hasmukh dhonga bilkul nye chahi hai,
06:50mein ko woh terror wala dhonga chahi hai, joh kisi me bhi dhahshet fhela sakta hai,

06:57logon ko eek woh hasmukh character dhkha ke unko laghe ki yeh toh lada hi
07:01karayega hi nahi, yeh kisi ko dharaayega hi nahi,
07:03aur phir last meh woh pura joh action sequence hai, uske anndar woh fhutna,
07:07woh character karna, woh dehshet dhkhaana, woh bho bho ut interesting tha,
07:12toh kuch loog nye durandar ke tone, aur aap ki energy ko animal, animal film se compare kiya,

07:36loogu se compare keha rhe toh kar rhe toh, mein lehe toh bhout khushi ki baat hai,
07:40esmei, mein deny kari nahi sakta hai, esko.
07:42Aaj ke hindi zimaabai, guztah aur masculinity ko ah,
07:46matlab glorify kiya jara hai,
07:48toh aap ke liye anger eek emotion hai,
07:50ya eek political psychological statement hai?
07:53Ah, meri liye sir as an actor, anger eek emotion hai,
07:57kyunki her anger eek emotions ke now tariqe hote hai,
08:02aur uske nndere anger eek chiz hootie hai,
08:04aur anger eek wo emotion hai,
08:07jis ko hum humeisha chupate hai,
08:08hum life me dhikhaa nahi sakta hai,
08:10kiunki uske consequences,
08:12uske natiyje kai bár kharab hote hai,
08:14lekin ye eek emotion toh hai,
08:16aur anger jo hai,
08:17woh har kisi me hoota hai,
08:18woh kubhi kisi ke liye,

08:29toh woh anger toh hai,

08:39orthodox, gang characters hai,
08:41inke anndere woh sophistication nahi hai,
08:43johan peh woh apne emotions ko control kare pa hai,
08:45kyunki woh sabhita joh hootie hai,

09:12woh aek underlying threat raha ta hai,
09:15ki yeh kubhi bhi loge violent ho saktah hai,
09:17par mein isko,
09:18yeh nahi kaounga ki,
09:19masculinity,
09:20or violence,

09:33usko bhi hum masculinity kahte hai,
09:34ah,
09:35provider banna,
09:36usko bhi hum masculinity kahte hai,
09:37toh,
09:38meray khayal se,
09:39yeh thoda sa,
09:40misunderstand ho gahi hai film,
09:41ah,
09:42ya,
09:43logeo ne iske,
09:44joh masculine bool diya hai,
09:45woh meray hisaab se thoda,
09:46ah,
09:47aap theta background se belong kahte hai,
09:49kaffee strong hai,
09:50ah,
09:51kaffee,
09:52strong background hai aap ka,
09:53toh,
09:54aap screene pe,
09:55itni physical intensity rane ke liye,
09:57aap method acting follow kahte hai,
09:58aap method acting follow kahte hai,
09:59or controlled performance?
10:00ah,
10:01ah,
10:02toh,
10:04aap that should be a good actor.
10:05behi,
10:06aap method acting follow kahte ho,
10:07lekin controlled or a process ho ta hai,
10:08haemare teacher,
10:09haem ko,
10:10inside out process ho ta hai,
10:11woh bhi sikha hai hoa hai,
10:12onhau ne outside in,
10:13pahal e bahar ka character banao,
10:15phir uska antherooni,
10:16kya hal chal hai,
10:17usko samjho,
10:18ya,
10:18pahal e uski internal,
10:19uska emotional state,
10:20ah,
10:21dhunđ ho,
10:22phir usse bahar,
10:23woh kiasa banee gha,
10:24woh banao.
10:25toh iske ander,
10:26kyunki haemare ko bade clear defined characters,
10:28were from Aditya Sir. He is such a character, he is such a behave, he is such a dress, he is such a
10:34dress, he is such a talk. So, the character's emotional state is going to be able to find it,
10:40it is easy to find it. So, I follow the process. Some of our friends have been shooting for almost
10:46two years. It was a 200-day shooting skates and there were breaks. So, we were shooting
10:53some of the things that we followed, like eating on the ground or eating with his hands or
10:59eating with his hands or two days. They are gangsters. Who is going to say anything
11:03if they are not going to say anything? If they are not going to say anything. So, we have
11:06tried such things. But the whole of my character method is not based. This process is
11:11the acting process inside-in, inside-out is the process.
11:15Now, there are two superstars who have taken up two superstars with Ranveer and Ranveer
11:20and Ranveer and Ranveer and Ranveer and Ranveer and Ranveer and Ranveer and Ranveer and
11:25Ranveer and Ranveer and Ranveer and Ranveer and Ranveer and Radbjer and he has started her
11:27working on an experience, how different has been in the latter? Do you think it's
11:32between the acting processes? I think my reason is that the other..
11:36other faces are too much as we need to have this gag. And the two have been very hard work.
11:43We have never felt that we have been human
11:45حسوس ہونے نہیں دیا کہ وہ سٹارز ہیں انہوں نے ہمیشہ ہمارے کو پیار
11:51سے ہم سے گلے ملے ہملی ہم سے ملے ان کو سب کا نام پتہ ہوتا
11:55تھا جو دونوں میں فرق ہے وہ یہ رہے گا کہ رنویر سر رنویر ssing
12:02جی جو ہے وہ ایک سیٹ پہ بہت تغری energy لے کے آتے ہیں ان کو اچھا
12:07لگتا ہے کہ سیٹ جو ہے energetic رہے اور وہ ہر کسی کو pump up
12:12He has the morale of everyone.
12:14He has the inside jokes.
12:16Ranbir Kapoor,
12:18when I was working with him,
12:20his character was very laid back.
12:24He was very soft-spoken.
12:26He never came out like that.
12:28But he also has the best friends with everyone.
12:32I will not say that he has the energy of everyone.
12:36He has the energy of everyone.
12:38But he feels good that
12:40people are having fun.
12:42He has the jokes.
12:44He has a little leg-pulling.
12:46He has pranked me.
12:48It was good to work with him.
12:50Ranbir Singh has the energy of his energy.
12:52I think this is the difference between both of us.
12:54Ranbir is very internalized and minimal.
12:58When Ranbir is exposed to external energy,
13:00where do you place your acting in these two?
13:06I think it's good to me.
13:08I think it's good to me.
13:10I think it's good to me.
13:12Ranbir Kapoor.
13:14Ranbir Kapoor.
13:16Ranbir Kapoor.
13:18RK.
13:20The approach is very internalized and minimal.
13:22But Ranbir is very explosive.
13:24You also have to say that Ranbir is very high energy.
13:26I think it's good to me.
13:28I think it's good to me.
13:30I think it's good to me.
13:32I think it's good to me.
13:34I think it's good to me.
13:36I also think when I go to set the set,
13:38I don't like to sit in my own room.
13:40I don't like to sit in my own hands.
13:42I don't like to sit in my own thoughts.
13:44I think it's good to me.
13:46I think I'll talk about it.
13:48I'll talk about it.
13:50I'll go and discuss the set.
13:52I was very happy to discuss the set.
13:54Cinema Discussed
13:55I hadithi sir
13:56I had a cinema
13:57Discussed
13:57But when

14:54so you will reach where you aim
14:57Rocket singer is a young man
15:01you have worked with Ranbir
15:04but you have been a small role
15:07but you are a conscious team
15:09you want to become a conscious team
15:11I didn't have a conscious choice
15:14which people have given me
15:17parts of my life
15:19I think every part of my life
15:23I think it will be a memorable
15:25or a dialogue
15:27or a moment
15:29which will be memorable
15:31as an actor
15:33I will try to deliver the dialogue
15:35or the moment
15:37that will be a good idea
15:39so people remember
15:41because we are not
15:43that we are not a single day
15:45we are making a film
15:47after we have done
15:49so you want to
15:51the audience
15:53keep you in your mind
15:55and keep you in your mind
15:57and when you come back
15:59when you come back
16:01what is the first thing
16:03that is the first thing
16:05that is the first thing
16:07that is the first thing
16:09that is the first thing
16:11that I have been working on
16:13for this industry
16:15as I have been working on
16:17I am here
16:19I am here
16:21I am here
16:23I am here
16:25I am here
16:27here
16:29the recognition of the people's recognition is that people are recognizing on the road,
16:33they are stopping me, they are stopping me, if I am eating food in the restaurant,
16:38they are taking photos with me. So, there is also a desire for every actor's fame.
16:43Whether he is good or small, so that fame is the recognition that I am very happy for that.
16:50Your career is a slow burn, do you ever have self-doubt that you trust in the process?
16:57I am not going to deny, but there is also a self-doubt that I am not going to say.
17:06One time I had five films, two shows, then two years ago, there was no work on TV,
17:15no film, no ads. That was a lot of self-doubt that I had to do. But it was good that my theatre
17:23has been upbringing. When you don't have a job in the media or cinema, as an actor,
17:28you can always go back to the theatre. So, I am doing improv theatre. I am from the first few
17:36people who have done improv theatre in this country. So, I was gone to improv theatre in that time.
17:41And I am really happy for that.
17:44What did you think about it?
17:46So, since I am writing a little bit, I joined an ad agency, where I had to write scripts for them,
17:53I had to design their ads for them. So, at that time, I had a little self-doubt that I am not doing it.
18:02But, when there was a self-doubt that I had to leave this industry, I got a good job. And I am really happy for that.
18:10What do you think, in today's Hindi cinema, do you want more courage to stay emotionally and physically?
18:19Absolutely, I want courage to stay, because now there is a time of reality.
18:23There was a time that people, the audience, the people, the life of life, the things we talked about,
18:33the stories we talked about, the stories we talked about, it didn't get so much knowledge.
18:36But, now there is another understanding, now the information, every person's access in it.
18:41So, when you say, if you say something, then you will never forget.
18:46If you say something, then you will never forget.
18:48And if you say something, then you will never forget.
18:52So, courage, of course, because characters are also talking about something that you can share.
19:03So, courage, of course, characters and stories that you can share.
19:06So, courage too, because characters are also talking about something that they relate to you,
19:09and that they can relate to you and that you can see issues on it.
19:12To see what happens in the future of the series,
19:15which is like instances, where there are instances, or something about how many hindustans do you,
19:20کو کہیں نہ کہیں touch کیا ہے یا کہیں نہ کہیں ان کو اندر سے
19:24جھنجوڑا ہے تو وہ چیز کو tackle کرنا اس طریقے کی کہانی کو پکڑ
