03:32Here at the Delhi International Film Festival.
03:40Look, this is very simple and very simple.
03:48If Modiji says that we are talking about local for local,
03:58So, if we have a good idea,
04:10we have a good idea,
04:12we have a good idea,
04:15we have a good idea,
04:20apart from men in the cinema.
04:23There are also women-oriented subjects,
04:26and the U.A. is the biggest strength in the world.
04:30There are so many young populations,
04:32I am talking about Gen-V,
04:34who are working for the world.
04:36Valor, Victory,
04:38these are all great things,
04:40which are the U.A.
04:43No, no, no,
04:44there are so many young people in the cinema.
04:45So, I think it's a very healthy sign.
04:48People are opting for a profession,
04:50which has always believed in cinema,
04:52that,
04:53what is the problem?
04:55I belong to a middle class family,
04:57I also belong to a middle class family.
05:00You should learn the work,
05:03and you should enjoy the work.
05:05If it's a good job,
05:07you should never do it.
05:08You should do something.
05:10I am very clear about it.
05:12Sir,
05:12did you mention Gen-V as Gen-V?
05:14Now, I have termed it,
05:17as Gen-V.
05:18Gen-V?
05:19Gen-Z nahin.
05:20Only victory.
05:22Sir, Gen-V will be a message on,
05:24after the lack of speech.
05:25Be victorious.
05:27Sir, ask me,
05:28how do you think, sir?
05:30I am playing an IPS officer,
05:33in a serial called Pratibad,
05:35directed by Siddharth Nagar.
05:38It's got Ayub Khan,
05:40along with me.
05:41It's got,
05:42they're searching for a wife,
05:44for me.
05:45We've just done one schedule.
05:47It's got Anupam Kherji's brother,
05:49Raju Kher, in that serial.
05:50It's got,
05:52a very young and old star cast.
05:54It's about a hundred episode serial
05:56for Waves, Prasad Bharti.
05:59And I have a film production company,
06:01so I anchor events.
06:04My son is playing professional football in Poland.
06:06My daughter works with NewsX,
06:09the same channel which Uday Ji is working with.
06:12So, you know,
06:12the sum total is that,
06:13at least,
06:15people should be happily doing what they're doing,
06:19rather than just, you know,
06:20you know,
06:20yare, kaha phas gai.
06:21Agar apko subay utte ye lagta,
06:22yare, kaha phas gai,
06:23it's not worth it.
06:25Woh chahe koi bhi professional.
06:26If you look forward for a particular thing,
06:29here, aaj,
06:30hum gai,
06:30hume,
06:30hume,
06:30hume,
06:30hume,
06:30hume,
06:31hume,
06:33hume,
06:33hume,
06:33hume,
06:36hume,
06:38hume,
06:41hume,
06:44Because you believe in that part, when you create a narrative in the cinema, directors and actors start living it.
06:52I'm playing a film of Marwa Studios. I'm playing Pandya Ji who is a detective.
07:00I couldn't drop the script. I told the director Ashok Tiaghi Ji,
07:06As an actor, I dropped my suggestions.
07:13So the moment an actor starts suggesting, your voyage becomes easy because you are already part of the team.
07:22The rest is all a process.
07:25You have to do good work and keep learning.
07:30As long as your process of learning, if your mental processor is good.
07:36I'll tell you something more than that. I do a lot of events with AI.
07:40Now we have played a play with 700 students in Chidava,
07:47where an 8th standard girl has played the Honorable Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
07:52With compatible ease and about 2000 people were watching it.
07:55So the question hereof is that you inspire a generation and you learn from the bigger ones.
08:02And this is a continuous process.
08:06When you come to this understanding that you have learned everything,
08:10your knowledge is a continuous process.
08:14Life-long learning process will be coming.
08:20But does it make you a sane person?
08:24Do you have your head on your shoulders?
08:28You see, we don't need a certificate from the West saying that we are a public,
08:36we are a Vishu Guru.
08:37We don't have a need for someone.
08:40Every child is a guru.
08:42Every person who is handling the camera person,
08:46I don't have a job.
08:49So whatever you inspire,
08:53the truth is,
08:54this is not ornamental.
08:56This is not ornamental.
08:58This is not ornamental.
08:58This is my country.
09:00This is not a fashion symbol.
09:05Someone told me to put it on Facebook.
09:08I said,
09:08you don't want to put it on Facebook.
09:11This is your belief system.
09:14We believe in everybody.
09:15The truth is what I am trying to do.
09:19My question is,
09:19What is your mind after 1984?
09:23Because I said,
09:24it's got a Puritan thought.
09:26It is this craft.
09:28Cinema is a deep ocean of learning.
09:31Music, screenplay, dialogues, characters,
09:36performances, co-actors,
09:38to work with purity.
09:42It's a yoga with women.
09:43In which we work with actors, when the body comes together, it is a yoga.
09:52In the industry, we believe in decorum of purity.
09:57Beauty has to be admired, it has to be cherished.
10:03In our house, how much your belief system is in our house?
10:10That is all life.
10:11I am not talking about just being a cinema.
10:16What is your personal conduct?
10:18Keep it in decorum and keep it in decorum.
10:23That is called protocol.
10:27What do I am an actor and I am a star?
10:29This is a basic need.
10:33Protocol.
10:35Whoever you are.
10:36So, you know, one should have respect for protocol and dignity of labour.
10:41The problem is that we understand the job.
10:47Everybody is important in our units.
10:49Team effort.
10:50Support staff is equally important, just like in cricket.
10:53I am a former Delhi cricketer myself.
10:57Support staff tells you.
10:58When you are in motion on the trees.
11:04When you are reeling under pressure, they are the people who are sitting at the back and analyzing you.
11:09So, analytical staff also has, support staff has got a very big role in getting into this whole Hamba to
11:18make you be wanted in the profession which you are being wanted for.
11:23That's it.
11:24That's it.
11:25Don't talk much.
11:27My pleasure.
