00:00Hello, welcome to Anand. Thank you.

00:02When did you come to the border? How did you come to the border?

00:07Actually, it's a responsibility. I won't say an idea.

00:12Because our late CDS, Chief of Defense Staff, General Vipin Rawat Ji,

00:18they called me a few years ago.

00:22And at that time, they had 22 heroes' stories.

00:28There were three or four of them in this film.

00:34And they told us that there are some stories about our soldiers,

00:39who have reached people to our soldiers.

00:41And that was the responsibility of their father and me.

00:44After that, unfortunately, we lost him in a helicopter crash.

00:50And I would say that this film is not just my and my father's dream.

00:55I think it was the late General Vipin Rawat Ji's dream.

01:00And after that, when I was sitting there,

01:06I was sitting there,

01:09saying that theory what is going to happen next in JP Films

01:12and how should be somebody's事 to the mother's company.

01:14At that time I would imagine bringing me together from them.

01:18And some of the stories,

01:20that seem to be back.

01:22Andlet that take to book four,

01:24that's雪印ис.

01:26I wrote a script and just Border 2 is in front of you.

01:31Border 1, Border 2, Border 2, Border 2, Border 2 is based on the other story.

01:36So, do you have another story?

01:40No, I am really happy that you have asked me this question because I was waiting for someone to ask me.

01:47This film's name is Border 2, because it is the story of this 71 story.

01:54Because the first border was created in the long battle of 71.

01:59The film was so popular, so huge in every Indian life.

02:08That we thought that the fight of 71 was only in the long battle of Pakistan.

02:15So, from now to now, this is a thing that we had to reach today's generation and youth to our people.

02:26It was very important that 71 was just a battle. It was a proper war.

02:30And in that war, there were many battles in that war.

02:33We fought on some air, on some ground and on some sea.

02:38Also, the fight of 71 was the first time that our three forces, Army, Navy and Air Force, fought with us.

02:48This is one thing that 99.9% Indians don't know.

02:53It will be on Google, in the public domain.

02:55But as Indians, we don't register that that was the first war.

02:59And that was the second reason that I thought it was very important that this film was made in 71.

03:05And we were the first forces of our three forces.

03:09And when I realized that we were talking about 71, that's the story of that story.

03:17The story of the days of the first border was the first border.

03:20The story of the December, the story of the days.

03:23Then I realized that our title was border 2, which Papa had registered for this day.

03:28And it was probably this day.

03:30So, it's because of 71, it's border 2.

03:33And also, the story of the long-term.

03:36Why did you say that your wife changed over the years?

03:39Because of the summer?

03:40Because of Kuldeep Singh, it's over.

03:42Now we have a trailer.

03:45And you will have to think of assets.

03:48So they are the major, Kuldeep Singh, which we prepared for the first film.

03:51If this is a different character, obviously she will be different.

03:58And that's why I thought it was the 코로.

04:02Because the border is a border, it is a border border and it is a border border.

04:17I am a J.P.T.T.A. and I am a J.P.T.T.A. and I can say this.

04:32I think that in this country, I can say that if I can make a war film or any attempt to make a war film, it will be a border border.

04:45And this is something that I should accept every filmmaker. I have also done it.

04:50It is not a cult, it is a film that has become an emotion.

04:54And that film will always compare to every war film.

05:00It does not mean that we are the other brave hearts, the other soldiers.

05:04We can't say their stories and tell them.

05:07We can't tell them. We can't tell them. We can't tell them.

05:09We can't tell them. We can't tell them.

05:11Because it is a cult. I think it will be a very wrong thing.

05:13Because the first border was that Papa made it.

05:16So I think we can say that those heroes for the long battle.

05:19We can't tell them again.

05:21We can't tell them again.

05:23And this film is also made that because of that.

05:25That we will be able to immortalize these soldiers and brave hearts in the celluloid for generations to come.

05:30to come and I hope

05:31that now there are so many war films

05:33that have been made in the world

05:35there are two war films

05:36that have been made in the two brave hearts

05:39who are

05:41huge heroes who have done so much

05:43for the country and

05:45I hope people make more war films

05:47I hope I can make more war films

05:49without thinking whether I will be compared

05:51to border one

05:52Yes, absolutely

06:03I am very proud of them

06:05and I don't think they would come in the public

06:09at this time

06:10Papa and Mama

06:12are very happy grandparents

06:15with my daughter

06:17but because it was an event in Bombay

06:19I insisted on them

06:21and she's just very proud right now

06:23so I was just happy to have her there

06:25I love this question

06:30because I all ask only about Papa's films

06:32and she's made 52 movies as an actor

06:37so it's a tough choice

06:38but I think

06:40Golmal and Shan

06:42one of them

06:44JP, is your favourite concert film?

06:48I think Border is his best film

06:51as a writer and a director

06:52but I also feel that

06:54as a filmmaker

06:55he has made

06:58a film called

06:59LOC Cargill

07:00and I think

07:00as a filmmaker

07:01who scale

07:02or

07:03which

07:04conditions

07:06he made that film

07:07I think that is my other favourite film of his

07:10I don't think that after Durendra

07:13and

07:14Durendra

07:14and

07:15Durendra

07:15and

07:16Sinqal Ero

07:17when we have seen a lot of films

07:18that is the same

07:19but after

07:21Durendra

07:22is a multi-start

07:22artist film

07:23that is a challenge

07:25and then

07:25he also likes it

07:26so what do you think?

07:27because Border 2

07:28is a lot of actors

07:30that are

07:30so how difficult

07:31is it

07:32to have a part

07:33in a different way?

07:35I think this is a very wrong question because I think Durandar is not a film that has changed

07:43the tides of a multi-starrer because you have to ask a question from such a girl whose father

07:49made a film called L.O.C. Cargill in which there was more industry, there were 32 actors

07:53in which there was more industry. So if there was a film that could be a multi-starrer as

07:58long as the characters are true to life, the characters are real and the actors who are

08:03living in this film, they realized that they are living in our real life soldiers and

08:10then they don't have to deal with multi-starrers.

08:12Do you have any changes in the industry, personally and purposefully?

08:20I think every year there are changes. I remember a few years ago, I remember that

08:26it was a little bit of time, but when it was 100 years of Indian cinema, my dad was alive

08:32and they told me that out of 100 years, our family has been part of it for 62 years.

08:39So yes, there have been three generations, changes have come a lot, changes will come a lot.

08:44But I think the main thing that has not changed is that if you make good cinema, the audiences

08:51will go to the theatre and that will be forever.

08:54Lastly, what is the production of the World War II?

09:01We are also making the production of the World War II in the World War II.

09:04I won't be able to do that anymore.

09:06But it is of a current event that just took place, which I cannot mention now.

09:12But yes, we are making something on the armed forces.

09:14What is the production of the World War II in the World War II?

09:16Just watch a film.

09:18There are our PVCs, Parambeer Chakra Award winners.

09:22People who have died for us.

09:24So that you and me remain in the house.

09:27So watch a film for them.
