00:00Welcome to INS.
00:02Namaskar. Thank you so much for calling me.
00:04And, first of all, you have done a film, television, OTT, advertising almost in the media.
00:10So, how do you see acting journey in this journey?
00:12And in this journey, the most important learning experience.
00:18This journey is not our way.
00:22It's very inspirational for me.
00:24For myself.
00:32For yourself.
00:34For myself.
00:39I'm grateful for myself.
00:41I'm glad for you.
00:45I'll help you.
00:47Thank you so much.
00:49I'll give you my life.
00:51Thank you so much.
00:54Thank you very much.
00:56So, I thought, let's go, it's a good thing, I'll get to learn something about it, I'll think
01:02that I started it. So, the advertisement industry has accepted me very quickly and my work started
01:13so, I've been adding ads to it now. So, this is the advertisement and my work,
01:19it's a good thing, I was like this, this is the inspiration for myself, that consistency,
01:32consistency is very important. You can't be motivated every day, you don't have to be motivated
01:39every day, you have to be motivated yourself, you have to do yourself. So, you can tick
01:45and I have done that. I have done that. I have done it consistently.
01:48Whether it is or not, I have done the audition today,
01:51so I will get the work or not, it doesn't matter.
01:55It doesn't matter. I have not thought about it.
01:56I have just thought about it.
01:57Okay, actors choose a specific platform,
02:01but you have worked in cinema, tv and digital.
02:03Do you feel that the work in the film will become more versatile?
02:09Yeah, of course.
02:09So, if you pick up a criteria,
02:12that I just want to work in advertising
02:16or I just want to work in films,
02:18then you have made a criteria for yourself, right?
02:21Where do you see versatility?
02:23Your versatility will be seen when you work in a different way.
02:27There is theatre,
02:30your OTT platform,
02:32which is a different world.
02:34There is a film, which is a different world.
02:36There is nothing to take from film and theatre.
02:36There is nothing to take from the other.
02:39Because in theatre,
02:39you don't have to show acting there.
02:42In films, in serials, in web series,
02:44you don't have to show acting here.
02:47So, this is versatility.
02:50And what is it?
02:52How do you know that this person is versatile?
02:55When you work in different ways,
02:57then you will know that I am a versatile actor.

08:12because
08:13it is opening
08:13a lot of doors
08:14I feel like
08:15you have said
08:17that
08:17you have said
08:17what do you research
08:21for this film?
08:22for this film?
08:23yes
08:25no
08:26because
08:26everyone
08:28has done it
08:28it is not
08:28because
08:29it is also
08:31speaking Spanish
08:32English
08:32no doubt
08:34he didn't speak Spanish
08:34language
08:35because
08:36there was a
08:38narrator
08:39which
08:40was translated into
08:41English
08:42so
08:43he did it in
08:44English
08:45but
08:45there was never
08:46any problem
08:48because
08:49my character
08:49was the same
08:50where I had to speak Spanish
08:51where I had to speak Spanish
08:52where I had to speak Spanish
08:53because
08:54the rest of the actors
08:55were Spanish
08:56and Mexican actors
08:58were only three actors
09:02who were from India
09:03one
09:04one
09:04one
09:05one
09:06one
09:06one
09:06one
09:06another
09:07one
09:15one
09:35and
09:36the
09:37king
09:37It's a different thing. It's a lot of practice that we have to practice in this language and how we
09:45can get out of comics.
09:47All these things are very important for us.
09:50But finally it's been done and the film has come very well.
09:53That's how I feel.
09:55I know that Gurudev Shri Shri Ravi Shankar Ji has seen the film and he has really liked it.
10:00I hope that it will also come to you too.
10:04The OTT project is a special on the Sanmi Forever.
10:08How do you think the OTT actors have come to you?
10:13No, probably.
10:14I don't know where I think OTT has happened.
10:20After Corona, OTT has come out.
10:26Before Corona, OTT didn't ask so much.
10:28There were so many apps, so many channels, so many OTT platforms, but they didn't ask so much.
10:34After Corona, people started asking about OTT.
10:36Why? Because people were scared to go to theater.
10:39According to me, when Corona happened, and then there was OTT platform.
10:43I thought that the A-grade actors, the children of Abhishek, or those actors,
10:52they all came to OTT.
10:54They kept their criteria down.
10:57They kept it down.
10:57We thought that after Corona, the OTT platform came,
11:00then the opportunities will increase.
11:02Because they are working in films, ads, serials,
11:05so OTT will open up a new platform.
11:08But that didn't happen.
11:09Because the actors who were under the A-grade actors were working on OTT.
11:13They left their criteria,
11:15they left their criteria,
11:16they left them all,
11:16they left them all.
11:17They left them in OTT.
11:19So, wherever we went to OTT,
11:22the criteria was finished.
11:25So, we were there,
11:26we were there.
11:27The one step that was going to be further,
11:28we couldn't increase.
11:30Our actors,
11:31and others,
11:32many actors were there,
11:33who didn't get opportunities.
11:34so,
11:35that was a big lack.
11:38I don't know,
11:39how it will solve.
11:40But,
11:40in the industry of OTT platform,
11:43which has been working with,
11:45it feels like it's being serial.
11:50After divorce filmography,
11:52there is a rule that you think
11:54that you want to be a tool for teachers?
11:58Of course.
11:59Of course.
12:00There are two characters that I want to do.
12:02We have done a while.
12:03Like,
12:04we had a theatre.
12:05I was playing with a girl in Gujarati.
12:09We had played in Gujarati.
12:10She was a child.
12:12He was an abnormal kid.
12:14I had the character which I had defined that.
12:17I received lots of awards.
12:19The people had a live response at the stage.
12:23They gave me the resonate of Sanjeev Kumar.
12:27If there is no character,
12:28I want to do everything in OTT and websites in OTT.
12:32Another character was a comic role in that I wanted to do a comic role in which I was only
12:41focused on.
12:44I have seen people in the audience as well as laughing and laughing at my character.
12:50I wanted to do a character in comic, character, film or web series where I get the opportunity.
12:57But yeah, this is what I feel.
13:00You said that in films, there are some common characters in the film.
13:07Or if there is any film in the film, there are Johnny Liver, Case to Mokardi, or Mahmood Ji characters.
13:17It's an old film.
13:19But nowadays, there are some common characters in the film.
13:40But I did not think of any characters in the film.
13:51I thought, sir, what do you think?
13:52You can laugh every time.
13:55He said, I have to be like this.
13:57I have to be like this.
13:59I have to say something.
14:00People come from there.
14:01So, when a person comes from inside,
14:04he connects to people.
14:06So, you have to make comedy yourself.
14:10You have to make comedy on yourself.
14:12You have to put comedy zone on yourself.
14:15No one can do comedy.
14:17So, this comic zone,
14:18what you are telling me,
14:20it is a little different.
14:25The comic can't do anything.
14:27Johnny Lever,
14:29and the rest of the people who have been doing comics,
14:32and Rajpal Yadav,
14:33and Kader Khan,
14:35and Govinda,
14:36all of them were together.
14:38When they were doing comics,
14:39they would put them on themselves.
14:45There is no such comedy.
14:46It doesn't make comedy.
14:47It depends on a director.
14:49What is the thought of the director?
14:52Like Priya Darshan,
14:53when I worked with him,
14:55I realized that,
14:55the comedy is not actually happening.
14:57The comedy is situational.
14:59The comedy is made in itself.
15:01The actor doesn't make comedy.
15:03The actor has to put it in itself,
15:06but the actor has to put it in itself.
15:06I have to tell you that I am like this.
15:07It's the comedy.
15:09The actor has to put it in itself.
15:14The actor has to put it in itself.
15:18The actor has to put it in itself.
15:28If you haven't seen it,
15:29please watch it.
