00:00We have videos, reels, and I don't know what's going to happen.
00:02Shavan, we liked it? Of course, we loved it.
00:05And let's hear it for the editor, P.K. Sir, who has edited it, sir.
00:10Thore, thore, fast-paced.
00:12What else do we need?
00:14So, okay. Now we need to invite the wonderful people on stage.
00:18So, I'm going to side a little.
00:20It's time to welcome on stage the lovely, lovely cast.
00:23The very talented cast of Dakhet, Ek Prem Katha, ladies and gentlemen.
00:29Here we go.
00:59Sir, you've done something, you've done something, you've done something.
01:01You know, a brilliant filmmaker who is now killing it,
01:04with his acting, every single time we see him.
01:08Give it up for Anurag Kashyap, ladies and gentlemen.
01:13Sir, literally, change the mood, change the mood.
01:16What do you have to say?
01:17What are we all watching now?
01:20What are we doing?
01:22I don't think.
01:27In the beginning, there was a time when we were in 1993,
01:31we were thinking about acting, and there was nothing.
01:34And then it's done.
01:36And now, with your kind permission, or should I say, sir, kindly do the honors,
01:42I think you should be inviting the stars here on the stage, yeah?
01:47Mirnal Thakur and Adhavi Shesh.
01:50Wow.
01:50Give it up for them, ladies and gentlemen.
01:52Two of the most, most loved actors of Indian cinema,
01:55Adhavi Shesh and Mirnal Thakur.
01:59Thank you so much for being here.
02:01Of course, I have a lot of questions for you.
02:03But before that, this is a very, very unique pairing, I would say.
02:09And we all, you know, we all love it when two brilliant actors, you know, collaborate.
02:14Here are three-three.
02:15Sir, start with you.
02:16Tell us about this collaboration.
02:18And here, the response that you got here, the teaser,
02:20it is already, you know, ruling the charts, I would say.
02:25Am I the one?
02:26Of course.
02:27Aapki bari.
02:28Guys, very happy to be here.
02:31Do saal ho gaya, matlab, major ke time pa aya tha.
02:33So, khushi ki baat hai.
02:35Hopefully, some of you guys are still from that time only.
02:38Aani sepile, they said, watch out for the rope.
02:43And I stumbled on it.
02:44But she got me, so.
02:46She saved me.
02:47And I think that's been the nature of our film, matlab.
02:50You know, we were all looking out for each other.
02:51It's been a beautiful collaborative effort.
02:53And I'm very, very happy that we made a proper Hindi film and we brought it to you.
02:59And I don't know.
03:01It's a very special feel.
03:02When I was listening to your chairs and all that from behind stage.
03:07I'm very happy to be here.
03:09Ronal, this is for you every single time.
03:12As we say, you know, jitni aap real asli me hai, utni real us kirdaar mein, you know, us tari se dhal jati hai.
03:18No, no, seriously, I mean it.
03:19And everybody knows that.
03:21So, yaha pe, when you do this kind of character, ye hai both hatke hai.
03:25Bilkul matlab, kya horai hai, samaj nahi ari hai ki is she the one, jo ye sab planning, plotting karri hai, ya kya horai.
03:31Talk to us about this, please.
03:32And working with these brilliant, brilliant actors.
03:36I'm kup chaan watla wala mubai madhe hai.
03:39Kiti divsan ne tum cha shi bolte hai.
03:40But to be honest, yes, Dekoit is a very different film.
03:45I, this is my first film which I've shot in Hindi and in Telugu.
03:51Amazing experience working with Shesh.
03:54It's fantastic.
03:55You know, for the longest time I thought Adibi was his first film.
03:59I was like, Adibi, Adibi.
04:00I love Lop, someone's thinking Adibi is my first film.
04:03But Shesh, Shesh it is.
04:05And for me, for me it's Hari.
04:10And to see Hari in this avatar, it was really nice.
04:13The magic that he's created on screen.
04:16And also Anuraksa, it was such a delight.
04:19I didn't have many scenes, but whatever I did, it was fantastic.
04:24I feel like it is a schooling.
04:27Aapko bhaut seekne ko milta hai.
04:29Dekoit mere liye ek aasi film hai jaha par
04:32I don't think Love Sonia ke baad muje wo shades
04:36khele, like tap karni ka moka mila.
04:40So this is the film.
04:44And it is fantastic working with the director also, Sheneal.
04:47He is so crystal clear about his vision.
04:52I think that's what an actor wants.
04:54And someone who keeps pushing to perform, to give your best take.
04:58You know, first take me, ha ha, thik hai, chalo.
05:01But jab, aapko koi push karta hai and they like,
05:03you know, unies-bees ka fark hota hai.
05:06And jab, aapko wo perfect take milta hai
05:08and joo khushi unke chahre pe hoti hai,
05:10wo dekke, mujhe bhaut achcha mahasas ho ta hai ki chalo yaar.
05:12Dil se koi film inai hai hai.
05:14And yehi wo film hai.
05:15Filal, filal unki khushi hum sab ne dekhli.
05:17Yaha se dikhra hai unke chahre pe wo muskuraahat.
05:20Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for the director of this brilliant film,
05:22Shanil Deo sahab.
05:24Isse pahle cinematography mein kai saare jhande gaade hai.
05:28But this is the first time he's directing this film.
05:30Sir, a full-fledged Hindi Telugu film
05:34jo ki sab ko diwana karne waali hai.
05:36Talk to us about it.
05:37And especially directing a director of Anurag sir's level.
05:41You know, how was it?
05:43That was nerve-wracking.
05:44Having such a legend on our set.
05:47Actually, for me, it was a film school, actually.
05:50Indeed.
05:50Because sir was always there for us.
05:53And actually, we got to learn so much from him.
05:56But in regards to the quote itself,
06:00it was three is in the making for us.
06:01From the writing, conceiving the story,
06:03and then finally getting to this point.
06:06So, it was a journey where we had to make two movies,
06:09Hindi and Telugu.
06:11And each language was addressed separately.
06:16You know, we made sure that we did the due diligence
06:18and made sure that each movie was its own entity.
06:21So, it's not like copy-paste.
06:23It was...
06:24We believed in it.
06:25We researched.
06:26We did our writing accordingly.
06:27We edited accordingly.
06:28So, it's a proper Hindi movie.
06:32It's a proper Telugu movie.
06:33And we're very proud of it.
06:35Three is in the coming,
06:36and finally we're here, standing.
06:38So, yeah.
06:38And we're proud of you.
06:41What was your dialogue in the beginning?
06:43What did you say?
06:43What did you say?
06:44What did you say?
06:45What did you say?
06:47I'm saying,
06:48all the people who are saying,
06:49what did you say to me?
06:50What did you say to me?
06:51What did you say to me?
06:51What did you say to me?
06:52You know, seriously, we loved it.
06:54Yes, sir.
06:54Anurag, sir.
06:55You know, this man here,
06:56I mean, what we've talked about today,
06:58soft-spoken,
06:59simple, simple, human.
07:00How was it?
07:02Like, how was it?
07:02Like, a little bit of a laugh?
07:03No, no.
07:04A little bit of a laugh.
07:06He's always been very soft-spoken.
07:08He'll come to you and tell you.
07:10This is a little more.
07:11But there was only one problem.
07:13You were doing it in Telugu.
07:15Then you were doing it in Hindi.
07:17Then there was something in Hindi.
07:17Then there was something in Hindi.
07:18Sir, you're going to do it in Telugu.
07:21So, we're not just two languages.
07:23I mean, one language is doing it twice.
07:25Or one language, single time.
07:27Right.
07:27You know, you've got a lot of love from this before.
07:30For major.
07:30At this time,
07:31what's the response you're getting on?
07:33What do you say on that?
07:34Because we were really excited to see you on that big screen once again.
07:39Sir, sir.
07:41I think that when you think about it,
07:43the day, our content is on our phone.
07:47Like, okay, there's a song, there's a trailer,
07:50there's something you're talking about,
07:50there's something you're making real.
07:52I'm just saying that
07:53this film,
07:55it means a lot to me.
07:57And
07:57we have,
07:59you know,
07:59the kind of passion we've put behind it.
08:02I think that
08:03the kind of excitement we're getting
08:05when people see our teasers,
08:06see our scenes.
08:08Like, Anurag Sir,
08:09our format of shooting was very different.
08:12So, in the beginning,
08:14it was like,
08:14why are we shooting so much?
08:16But, as they saw the result,
08:19there was that beautiful excitement in his voice.
08:21So, I was listening to the stage,
08:22I was listening to the stage.
08:24I was like,
08:25Nitin, you're doing the cheering,
08:26and I want to listen to the crowd cheering.
08:29I wanted to hear what the accurate,
08:31genuine feelings of people was.
08:33And, you know,
08:34it's an emotional moment for me.
08:38I think,
08:39Dakhet,
08:39our passion project is,
08:40Shanil's my best friend.
08:41We both grew up in San Francisco.
08:44And, you know,
08:45here,
08:45I just think that
08:53it's a very, very proud moment
08:55and an emotional moment for us.
08:56I'm sure, sir.
08:57And it's going to be a treat
08:58for all the cine lovers out there.
09:01Sir,
09:01we were talking about the response,
09:02saying,
09:02Nitin,
09:03you're cheering.
09:03Let's tell you how it feels like we have a teaser.
09:08One last thing, Runal,
09:10you know,
09:11we've seen you,
09:13you know,
09:14we've seen you kill it
09:15on that big screen.
09:16Here,
09:17what's going to be for Hindi audiences
09:18because you understand
09:20what they want.
09:21So,
09:21what's going to be special
09:23for this film?
09:24See, Nitin,
09:24a few times before,
09:26like,
09:27early this year
09:27or last year,
09:28action was running
09:29and now,
09:30suddenly,
09:31romance is running.
09:32So,
09:32in this film,
09:33there's also action
09:33and romance.
09:35She said it.
09:36She said it
09:37with all those adas.
09:38Action,
09:38romance,
09:39and
09:39it's going to be
09:39a lot more
09:40for the team.
09:41Sir,
09:41to your right.
09:43Am I audible?
09:44Hi,
09:44Advi sir.
09:45Hello,
09:46everyone.
09:47I am Mamta
09:48from Mashable.
09:50My question
09:51is for Advi sir.
09:53In the days,
09:54we saw
09:54that
09:55South
09:57you have
09:58Hindi dubbed
09:59version
10:00has a reach
10:02like Pushpa 2
10:04and
10:04Pushpa 2
10:05was only
10:06in Hindi
10:06dubbed
10:07version
10:07made a
10:08very big film.
10:10So,
10:10what was your approach
10:12what was the approach behind the people in Hindi?
10:16See, I think,
10:18everyone has their own approach.
10:21And,
10:22I thought that,
10:24Dekayat is a film
10:26that is making an emotion.
10:27I mean, tight-close.
10:28When we see actors' emotions,
10:31it's very important that we connect it
10:35that it should feel like it's mine.
10:37It's my own story.
10:38It's my own story.
10:39It's my own story.
10:41For that to feel like that,
10:43I thought,
10:44it's very important to make it a local flavour.
10:46I mean,
10:47what kind of dialogues are there.
10:49Sometimes it happens that
10:50you have a punchline in Telugu,
10:53that will come to the beginning of the scene.
10:55But in Hindi,
10:56the punchline comes in the end,
10:57because of the rhythms of the language.
10:59So, these are very intricate things.
11:01I mean,
11:02it's not just about money.
11:05How much will it be?
11:06It's also about creative satisfaction.
11:08I wanted to make a genuine Hindi film.
11:11And it was very important for me.
11:13If I'm talking in English or Telugu today,
11:16you will say,
11:17yes,
11:18it's Indian,
11:19but it's not my relationship.
11:21That's the feeling.
11:22I wanted to cross that feeling.
11:24Can I interject?
11:25Can I just say one line to that?
11:27Also,
11:28when you watch a film or dub,
11:31when you say something else,
11:33and the sound is something else.
11:35But in Dacoit,
11:36when we have this film in Hindi and Telugu,
11:39when we were shooting,
11:40there is also emotion.
11:41It is resonating with the audience,
11:46and that is what is important.
11:47In one second,
11:49you don't need to focus on the audience.
11:51Because as a viewer,
11:52when I look at it,
11:53then my focus goes on.
11:55I'm like,
11:56I'm like,
11:57oh man,
11:58this emotion is so good,
11:59but it doesn't match,
12:00lip sync.
12:01So,
12:02I think that's one of the most interesting thing
12:04that I have discovered.
12:05My journey.
12:09Hello.
12:10I'm Ronal.
12:11I have a question for you.
12:12Harsh this side from Ms. Malini.
12:13Well,
12:14we all know your range as an actor
12:16is very good.
12:17You are looking at the action avatar.
12:19It was new for us.
12:21How was it new for you?
12:22How was it new for you?
12:23How was it new for you?
12:24How was it new for you?
12:25It was very new.
12:26In fact,
12:27I was talking to Shesh today.
12:28This is so new to me.
12:29And he was surprised.
12:30He was like,
12:31really?
12:32I said,
12:33yes,
12:34I have never done action.
12:35I was always watching the first sets.
12:38You know,
12:39I was a part of the scene
12:40but I was never a part of that action scene.
12:42But when I was driving the car,
12:45I was drifting,
12:46I was drifting,
12:47I was drifting,
12:48I was drifting,
12:49I was drifting,
12:50I was drifting.
12:52So,
12:53I think,
12:54because of Dacoit,
12:55I have confidence.
12:56Because in 2014-2015,
12:59my intention is to experiment
13:01when it comes to genre.
13:03And Dacoit,
13:04I got the opportunity
13:06where I,
13:07it's not just a human drama
13:08but something new for me
13:09when it comes to action.
13:11I knew how to,
13:13how some action scenes are shot.
13:16And thanks to Shinil Garo,
13:18because,
13:19for someone to cast an actor
13:23who's,
13:24doesn't bring the emotional strength
13:26but also brings that physically,
13:28mentally strong
13:29and a girl who is wearing a saree
13:31yet holding gun.
13:32So,
13:33I mean,
13:34you think,
13:35it's a dangerous combo.
13:36I mean,
13:37what Chanelle and Sheesh
13:38have achieved with her
13:39is something else.
13:40It's phenomenal.
13:41Sir,
13:42I think,
13:43you have to do something
13:44with the next film.
13:45I mean,
13:46we will do something.
13:47We will do something.
13:48We will do something.
13:49We will do something.
13:50We will do something.
13:51Sir,
13:52just tell you.
13:53Yes.
13:54Thank you so much.
13:55Sir,
13:56I didn't offer you.
13:57Thank you so much.
14:00Hi.
14:01Grunel,
14:02you're from Bollywood Bubble.
14:03Seesh,
14:04my question is to you.
14:05In your major,
14:0626-11,
14:07your movie was based on that attack.
14:10And now,
14:11in Durandar,
14:12the same scene,
14:13the same heart-wrenching incident.
14:17Do you think they have done justice
14:19in the way they have shot
14:21that particular scene?
14:22I mean,
14:24I'd even tweeted about Durandar.
14:27Aditya Dhar,
14:28the director of Durandar,
14:29is a good friend.
14:30I thought,
14:32I've done so much research
14:34in the 21st century
14:35and the entire
14:36black tornado operation.
14:37But to know
14:38the Pakistani side of things
14:39was a new experience
14:40even for me.
14:41And I thought,
14:42I thought it was
14:43an extraordinary film.
14:44And it thoroughly deserves
14:47being India's biggest film
14:49at the moment.
14:50And I'm very proud
14:52that everyone is watching this movie.
14:55It's a proper word-of-mouth hit.
14:57I mean,
14:58genuinely want to watch it.
14:59No one's booking,
15:00no one's anything.
15:01I genuinely want to watch the picture.
15:03And I'm so proud of
15:05Aditya Dhar, sir,
15:06and all he has achieved.
15:08I think he has
15:09an extraordinary value system.
15:10And, you know,
15:12I think I'm going to watch it again
15:14with my family.
15:15Maruna,
15:17I have a question for you.
15:19You've done two South films
15:21that are my favourite.
15:22Seetha Raman
15:24and Hype Nana.
15:25In both those films,
15:27the pre-interval scene
15:30was the game-changer.
15:32That affected us a lot.
15:34Do we see something similar
15:36in this film?
15:37I think that question
15:39should be directed to Sheesh
15:41and Shrinil Garu.
15:43This is just a teaser.
15:45I would say,
15:46hold on.
15:47Teaser will come.
15:48You will get to know
15:49a little more
15:50and then the picture is still.
15:53Hello.
15:54Hi.
15:55This is Alice Cara Peter
15:56from Mamarasi.
15:57Sheesh,
15:58my question's for you.
15:59But before I get into that,
16:00I have to tell you guys,
16:01all of us have loved the teaser.
16:03We love how the song holds
16:05so much nostalgia.
16:06And it's cut so well,
16:08like on beat
16:09and you're just vibing to it.
16:10So, amazing.
16:11Looking forward to this one.
16:12Okay.
16:13My question's for you, Sheesh.
16:15He cut the trailer.
16:16Okay.
16:17Along with this film
16:20on March 19th,
16:21okay,
16:22there's also Dharandar 2
16:23and Yash's Toxic
16:24that's going to be dropping,
16:25right?
16:26They clash happening.
16:28Are you feeling the pressure?
16:29Are you nervous?
16:30Not…
16:31I mean,
16:32I'm not nervous.
16:33I'm nervous
16:34that people feel good
16:35and they're nervous
16:37and they're always nervous.
16:39always.
16:40And we work hard
16:41with that sort of feeling.
16:42Yeah, come on.
16:43We really want to impress
16:44the audience.
16:45But clash,
16:46my whole life has been
16:48about surprising people.
16:49I think,
16:51now,
16:52two years ago,
16:53many big directors
16:54and big distributors
16:55were saying,
16:56yeah,
16:57the theatre is closed.
16:58I mean,
16:59people don't see the pictures.
17:00they don't see the pictures.
17:01And now,
17:02let's see what's happening
17:03with Dharandar
17:04and how it's a juggernaut.
17:05So,
17:06I think that when
17:07it's a juggernaut,
17:08then why not
17:09we give a beautiful
17:10set of options of movies
17:11in the holiday season?
17:12I mean,
17:13Eid,
17:14Sriram Navami,
17:15Godipadva,
17:16Our Ugadi.
17:17There's so many holidays.
17:18People are just done
17:19with their exams.
17:20I would like,
17:21you know,
17:22right now,
17:23a movie like Dharandar
17:24is a country's biggest hit.
17:25I would like,
17:26part two should be
17:27the world's biggest hit.
17:28But I think,
17:29together,
17:30those who don't get
17:31Dharandar's ticket
17:32will come to the decade.
17:35Hello,
17:36Team Dacoit.
17:37Vaishali Chandra
17:38from Alpha World.
17:39First of all,
17:40Namaskaram,
17:41Mumbai Kuswagatam.
17:43Thanks, Amma.
17:44We'll be great.
17:45And,
17:46my question is for Shesh.
17:48You,
17:49we were spellbound
17:51with Major.
17:52And now,
17:53Dacoit.
17:55It,
17:56we still feel
17:57it took too long
17:58for you to come back again.
17:59And,
18:00I want to understand
18:01after Major
18:02being such a hit.
18:04And,
18:05it touched us.
18:06Did you,
18:07like,
18:08were you offered
18:09any Hindi projects
18:11like out and out
18:12Bollywood film
18:13that came your way?
18:15Quite a few.
18:16Quite a few.
18:17You know,
18:18there was a couple of
18:19biopics offered.
18:20But,
18:21I think I was offered
18:22three war films.
18:23So,
18:24I felt like
18:25that,
18:26I went to
18:27Major Sandeep
18:28Punakrishnan sir's parents
18:29and I said,
18:30Major Sandeep's life story
18:31is very important to me.
18:32Now,
18:33I can't keep doing
18:35different soldier stories.
18:36But,
18:37sometimes,
18:38it feels like
18:39usage.
18:40So,
18:41it was important to me
18:42that,
18:43I will do one war film.
18:44And,
18:45that's also why
18:46we did Decay at something
18:47very, very different.
18:48And,
18:49it's a little more commercial
18:50than Major.
18:51But,
18:52passion is so much
18:53in terms of how we made the film.
18:54absolutely visible.
18:55My,
18:56another question is from
18:57Ranal.
18:58Is,
18:59Telugu,
19:00film industry
19:02taking you away from us?
19:04It's like,
19:05you're balancing it.
19:06Even 2026 is like,
19:08back to back films.
19:09Yeah,
19:10I mean,
19:11that would,
19:12I think I'm a very good planner.
19:15Like,
19:16I love planning my things
19:17way ahead of time.
19:18That's why,
19:19and I want to make sure
19:20that I do not disappoint
19:21my Telugu audience
19:22at the same time.
19:23Hindi audience is like,
19:25you know,
19:26it's my comfort zone.
19:27But,
19:28as an actor,
19:29if you ask me,
19:30I always like pushing my boundaries.
19:31Do Diwane Seher Me is coming.
19:33Then,
19:34Decoit is coming.
19:35Then,
19:36Hindi,
19:37one Telugu,
19:38one Telugu,

19:42one Telugu,
19:43one Hindi,

19:47So yeah,
19:48thanks to all the makers
19:49who've been like,
19:50supporting me,
19:51and helping me manage my schedules.
19:52It's tough,
19:53but,
19:54this is something that I've dreamt of
19:55and I'm doing it.
19:56She'll be balancing
19:57English films also soon.
20:00Anurag,
20:01Anurag ji,
20:02my question is from you.
20:03One,
20:04this film is also in Hindi.
20:05And the other thing,
20:06is that the subject,
20:07the crime,
20:08that is your favorite subject.
20:11You always have a favorite subject.
20:12If you look at your first film,
20:13Black Friday,
20:15then it's that.
20:16But,
20:17if you talk about Hindi,
20:18we have seen from 60,
20:20from now to 60,
20:21that was very different.
20:25And now,
20:27what we are seeing in this film,
20:28it's completely different.
20:30Because it's hidden,
20:31we have seen Chambal.
20:33So,
20:34as a filmmaker,
20:35what do you get to this film,
20:36what do you get to them by comparing?
20:38How do you get to that film?
20:39I'm…
20:40I'm…
20:41I'm…
20:42I'm…
20:43I'm…
20:44I think we should watch a film.
21:14of the film, the whole approach of the film,
21:17the way it was made,
21:19for me it was just a new one.
21:21For me it was just a new one.
21:22And as much as I saw it, I was completely,
21:24not just surprised, I was totally blown away
21:26what Chanel and Shesh have achieved with this.
21:32And it was fun to watch.
21:33I have done such things that I will never do.
21:38But it was fun to watch the results.
21:41Hello, my name is Leetu Kumar.
21:43I am from Delhi.
21:45Today I came to Mumbai and I have to come to this event.
21:48The name of your film,
21:50I have a great name,
21:52I have a great name,
21:53I have a great name.
21:57And I wish that this film would be so big.
22:00I would like to know,
22:01where did you shoot this film?
22:03How long did you shoot this film?
22:05And what would be special about it in the film?
22:13I am going to steal,
22:17Mrinal just told me one term,
22:19I am going to steal it from her.
22:20This is a story of the millennial decade.
22:23So,
22:25it is supposed to happen on the Andhra-Karnataka-Maharashtra border,
22:30which is a very hilly terrain.
22:32I mean, there is a lot of mountains,
22:34a dry area.
22:36And it is set in 2021.
22:39There are different timelines in the movie.
22:41But the majority of the film is in 2021.
22:44And where we have a question of love story,
22:50I think that is the soul of this film.
22:52It is a very angry film,
22:53an action film,
22:55but the heart of this movie,
22:56that is a proper love story.
22:59And it is based on,
23:01it is a deep love story.
23:02So,
23:03whatever is happening in the film,
23:05is what you will see.
23:06Hi, Anurag sir.
23:08To your right, I think.
23:12Right, yeah.
23:13Yes.
23:13Hi, I am Titash from CNN News 18.
23:16I want to ask you like,
23:18you have had other releases also this year
23:21in different capacities,
23:22you know, as a producer, as a presenter,
23:23this time as an actor.
23:24Your directorial venture, Nishanji,
23:27was really your passion project.
23:28And much like what usually happens with your films,
23:31you know, it gains a cult following over the years.
23:34I think pretty much is similar is going to happen to Nishanji.
23:37However, were you disappointed, upset
23:40with the box office reception of the film?
23:42No, no, I am used to it.
23:43I am used to it because,
23:47yeah, I probably expected a little bit more.
23:49I thought maybe,
23:51hoga audience shayda aye cinema mein.
23:54But then I realized the very second day of the release,
23:58and then I was used to it.
23:59Then we decided to,
24:01because it was one film,
24:02we decided to put that one film,
24:03both parts together on OTT.
24:07Because it was a film produced by Amazon, so it was already saved.
24:10So I am, I am, okay.
24:12Okay, thank you.
24:14Anurag ji,
24:15Aapke thik saamne.

26:59But it's very good.
27:00It's a SUV.
27:01So, next.
27:04Thank you so much.
27:06I don't want to take a seat after this.
27:10Hi, Anurag Ravi.
27:12Hello.
27:13Hi, Shesh.
27:14Hi, Munal.
27:15My question is, Anurag, from you.
27:17You came to Bombay in 1993.
27:18You watched all of your dreams.
27:20You achieved all of your things.
27:21You made all of your films.
27:22You also have to know your name of the cinema.
27:27Now, you left Mumbai and left.
27:30I would like to know, how is Bangalore treating you?
27:32And do you ever come back?
27:35Or are you from Bangalore?
27:37No, no.
27:38I am from Bangalore.
27:40In Hindi films, there will be a work.
27:42I will be making films.
27:45I went there.
27:46It's very nice.
27:47The weather is very good.
27:49And it doesn't need AC.
27:52AQI will be good.
27:54It's very good.
27:56Anurag, my second question is that if we look from the 70s and 80s, then all of South filmmakers have made great films in Hindi.
28:05It is very little.
28:06It is very little that from the Hindi cinema who started and went to South and directed the films.
28:12You are working there.
28:13You are doing there.
28:14You are doing a lot of the films.
28:16You are doing a lot of the film.
28:16You are doing a lot of the film.
28:17You were doing a lot of the film.
28:18You came here.
28:19You had one of my favorite films.
28:21As a presenter of your film.
28:22I would like to know that we can see that you are going to direct a film to a film.
28:26Yes, absolutely.
28:28Hi, this is Nirma from Jagrug times. My question is for Shanil sir. Like the characters are
28:50the soul of the movie, right? And I want to know that what character, like what you saw
28:56in that character that you choose, Anurag Kashyap sir, I mean he's a versatile actor, but what
29:02character you think, made you think as a perfect role for Anurag Kashyap sir?
29:09So first I'll tell you one thing. So for Dakai, Sesh is the fire of the koit, and she's the
29:16soul of the koit. And in those two, Sar is. So Anurag sir was something we discussed for
29:25about a year and a half, Sesh, and I was just sitting over and over again, how do we approach
29:28him, how do we do this? To the point we started almost visualizing him and writing with him
29:34in mind. And his character, we didn't have to do much actually, to be honest. He just brings
29:41so much grace and charisma on screen with his eyes. So we were able to just, you know, just
29:47bring him on and it's, it's a, I can't tell you disclose much about his character yet, but
29:53his, the uniqueness that he brings on is a, how do I say? One other thing is that Anurag
30:03sir, when we forget, a little nut cut, mischievous smile comes. So we think that this is a good
30:10person or a bad person, if you don't know him. So that ambiguity is very good. So when we
30:17discussed the character, we needed to know, I mean, his character's name is Swami. So Swami is
30:25a good person or a bad person. As the film goes on, we get to know that ambiguity is very
30:31important. That's what you're supposed to think. But slowly, slowly, slowly, as we open
30:36the layers, we get to know that Swami is a kind of person.
30:54G. That's all we have for you, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you so much.
