03:09It's a big deal.
03:13And it's a big deal.
03:17It's an amazing film.
03:18The cinema is a big ambassador.
03:19He's making anything about the narrative.
03:24People come here, get to hear out of the other way,
03:27Starting the naggingacion of the film.
03:29It's an incredible atmosphere.
03:30Very beautiful and vibrant atmosphere here at the Delhi International Film Festival.
07:33processor is good. I'll tell you something more than that I do a lot of
07:38events with AI. Now we have played a play with 700 students in Chidava where an 8th
07:48standard girl has played the Honorable Prime Minister Narendra Modi with
07:52compatible ease and about 2,000 people were watching it. So the question hereof
07:57is that you inspire a generation and you learn from the bigger ones and
08:03this is a continuous process. When you come to this understanding that you have
08:08learned everything, your knowledge is a nishwethe. Life-long learning process
08:17will come up and get started. But does it make you a sane person? Do you have your
08:25head on your shoulders? So this is all because you see we don't need a
08:33certificate from the West saying that we are a public, we are a vishu guru.
08:37We don't have any needs. Every child is a guru. Every person who is handling the
08:44camera person, I don't have to do it. So whatever you inspire, the truth is, this is not ornamental.
08:55This is not ornamental. This is not ornamental. This is my country.
09:00This is not an ornamental. This is not a fashion symbol.
09:05Someone told me about it on Facebook. I said you don't want to put it on Facebook.
09:11This is your belief system. We believe in everybody.
09:17This is not an ornamental. This is not an ornamental.
09:19This is not an ornamental. This is not an ornamental.
09:23Because I said it's got a puritan thought. It is this craft, the cinema is a deep ocean of learning.
09:31Music, screenplay, dialogues, characters, performances, co-actors.
09:53We believe in the decorum of purity. We believe in the decorum of purity. Beauty has to be admired. It
10:00has to be cherished.
10:03It has to be cherished. It has to be cherished. It has to be cherished.
10:07So how much is your belief system? That is all life. Life.
10:12I am not talking about just being cinema. What is your personal conduct?
10:18You keep it in decorum of purity. That is called protocol.
10:25The protocol, I am an actor, I am a star. Why do I wear it? This is a need. This
10:32is a basic need.
10:34Protocol. Whoever you are. So, you know, one should have respect for protocol and dignity of labour.
10:41The problem of the world is that we understand the job. Everybody is important in our unit.
10:49It's team effort. Support staff is equally important. Just like in cricket. I am a former daily cricketer myself.
10:56Support staff tells you. You have to analyze when 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.
11:08So, 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. That's it.
11:26Thank you. My pleasure. Thank you.
