00:07Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Siddharth Valotra, along with him, please welcome Ekta Kapoor, Tamanna Bhatia, Manish Paul, Shweta Tiwari,
00:20Arunabh Kumar, Manu Anand and Neeraj Kuthari.
01:10Ekta, Ekta, Ekta, I have to say it's Rhys, because you're Ekta.
01:13You're bringing the magic and popularity of the supernatural to cinemas and streaming with such deeply inspired cultural nuances.
01:21What can you tell us about the film and the world of this spectacular teaser that we just saw of
01:26one?
01:26So, Indian folklore has been a part of all of us and I think it's time that we bring out
01:36with state-of-art VFX and a large screen experience some of our most undiscovered Indian folklore.
01:46And we have a very, very interesting cast here, Siddharth, Tamanna, my old favorite Shweta, Manish.
01:56And it's also our first association with TVF on film and with Amazon.
02:02So, it is, I think, one of our most exciting scripts.
02:08It was brought to us as a concept by TVF.
02:12So, it is going to give a whole new, I think it's going to be a whole new genre breaker.
02:20So, hoping for the audiences to like it the way we do.
02:23You had to collaborate with TVF because TV is you.
02:27And if you weren't going to collaborate with TVF, then who was?
02:31With TV, we now have an F.
02:34Well, we like the sound of that.
02:36Yes, we love the sound of that.
02:38Manish, over to you.
02:40The next question is for Siddharth and Tamanna.
02:43You know, for both of you, there's just an incredible amount of star power that both of you bring, you
02:49know, to the big screen.
02:51What's the one thing that audiences can look forward to in this film?
02:57Wow.
02:58Good afternoon, everyone.
02:59One, I think it's difficult to pinpoint one, but just picking up from where Ekta was talking, actually.
03:06Firstly, I have to say this is my and Ekta's third collaboration.
03:09And I have noticed her in the first two projects.
03:12And I think by far, she's the most passionate about one.
03:16I have never had a producer who could narrate me the film from start to finish.
03:21And the amount of hard work that she's put on to this film, along with, of course, this prolific team.
03:26But because I know her the longest.
03:27No, of course, because I know her the longest.
03:30I have to say I'm most excited about my project with Balaji here.
03:33And then, as she said, the German seed comes from TVF.
03:37You know, we all have seen their shows with Amazon.
03:41I think they're one of the first to actually have something of a fifth season in Amazon for the first
03:45time, which is Panchayat.
03:46Okay, okay, we won't announce it as yet.
03:49But our director, who's not here, our director, who's not here, who's directed Panchayat with Amazon.
03:54And then we have a wonderful team of our cast and team who've executed this germ into a larger, big
04:01cinema experience,
04:02which is Manu Anand, as you can see, who's gotten the visuals.
04:06Neeraj, who's produced it.
04:09And, of course, then the cast are prolific actors along with me, starting with Tamanna, Shweta.
04:14And I don't know why I've become the host.
04:16But I just want to say I'm really excited to be with this wonderful team.
04:19And it's going to give you a big screen experience.
04:22Folk with thriller.
04:24A lot of fun.
04:25And intrigue.
04:26So, we're really excited about this project and bring it to the big, big cinemas near you.
04:31We also here said that, of course, your tremendous star presence.
04:35Tamanna and you make such a gorgeous couple and you all are both could be incredible.
04:38The teaser looks fantastic.
04:39But we believe from inside sources that Manish Paul is the big highlight of this film.
04:44He just paid me a big amount to say this, sir.
04:46Just, behind the host and host, you're going to be ghost.
04:50In kind, he's saying, darling, you're not going to be a big fan of this film.
04:55All right.
04:56Okay.
04:57All right.
04:57For that, Tamanna, we would love to hear from you.
05:01It's my first collaboration with Ekta.
05:04And how lucky am I?
05:07I have to tell you, it's been...
05:09My heart's heart.
05:12But now, Ekta has become my heart.
05:14My heart's heart.
05:16Wow, wow, wow.
05:17So many Tamanna.
05:19Many Tamanna.
05:20They've been full, actually, this film.
05:23Working with Sid was a long, long dream.
05:26And I'm very happy that I've had that chance to collaborate with him.
05:30I think he's a really fine actor.
05:34And I have to say, Deepak, sir, is not here.
05:37Yes.
05:38Deepak, sir, hasn't come here today.
05:39He's our director.
05:39But I feel like after very long, even I heard a script where a commercial film, which I really grew
05:46up on, like I've grown up on commercial movies, to have a strong soul within a commercial film can be
05:53extremely powerful.
05:54And I've seen that happen to films of mine that I've done well.
05:59And when I heard the story of this film, I felt like it had such a strong anchor with our
06:05Indian folklore being at the forefront.
06:07I truly believe that this would be that Pakka Masala film, which actually leaves you very emotional at the end.
06:17And I feel like that I've been missing when I go to the theaters.
06:20And I'm very excited.
06:22I hope we bring that to the audiences.
06:25And I'm so happy that this film is with Prime Video.
06:27Prime Video is like second family for me.
06:30I've done so many shows with them.
06:32And I'm happy that we're going to be, one is going to be showing here.
06:37And we have the most amazing team, starting with Manu, sir, Neerat, sir, Arunap, sir.
06:43And just like how Sid was a big host, I have also become host.
06:47Yes, I know.
06:48As the film fair goes to.
06:50As you can see, it's because of you up, you're rubbing on to us.
06:54This is one team.
06:55This is one team and this team is one Karan.
06:58That is, wow.
07:01Wow, wow, wow, wow.
07:03My pand masters, I tell you, wow, wow, wow, wow.
07:06This is the first team I want to know that has really thanked each other.
07:11I want to tell you, other teams have not done it as beautifully and as sincerely, like I said, like
07:16your life.
07:16Very thankless teams then, but you…
07:17Yes, I know.
07:18But you are all about gratitude and we know that about you.
07:21We know that about all of you.
07:23We can't wait to watch it.
07:24This teaser looked incredible.
07:25We need this in the cinema halls ASAP.
07:28And to capture this absolutely stunning moment, may I please invite on stage Akhil Jain, Principal Content Acquisition Prime Video
07:35India, to come on stage along with Sri Lange.
07:38I request this gorgeous looking team to come closer to each other since you love each other so much, so
07:46that we can get an absolute great image for the archive.

08:22Have you seen me giving all these great places?
