01:16I had a lot of hard work for this world, so it's all the hard work and when you think
01:22about it, you need to think about it
01:24and when you think about it, you have to think about it and when you think about it, you have
01:26to think about it
01:27and if you think about it, it's a team work, so everyone has to think about it
01:32and Vijay, your character is very good at crunching numbers in the series
01:38to the point that after one point, I was a little confused when they came together with the New York
01:42Cotton Exchange
01:43How did you make your way around? Are you good with crunching numbers or how is it with you?
01:48There is a lot, I have a lot of money, I have to understand the numbers
01:51and accounts have become, so I have been shocked at numbers
01:55but I was very interested in the game, I got a leaflet for 4 pages and I got a whole
02:03game
02:04but if you want to understand 4 pages, it will take a few months if you want to understand it
02:09so I have spent a lot of time with it and I shot the time of shooting during the period
02:14because if you play, if you play, if you play, like any game, you will have to pick a monopoly
02:18but when you don't play 4 times, the game's real fun is not coming from chess
02:23so it's time to understand the game, I can understand it
02:26and the amount of time I can understand it, so I can understand it
02:28what is it, how much time is it, playing?
02:32I don't know, I won't even know it because it's very hard
02:37because there's a lot of things, there are many things, there are many things,
02:41there are many things, there are many things, there are many possibilities,
02:47possibilities and possibilities and possibilities and there are many things
02:50and there are many events, like today if you type on YouTube,
02:53and if you type the king, then you will get the numbers in the day.
02:58So,
03:01I learned a lot about the game.
03:03I learned a lot about the game.
03:04After that, I got the opportunity to explain the scene.
03:09So, I tried to do it.
03:10And with my friends, I became familiar with Tashki Gaddhi.
03:14How to get familiar with him,
03:16how to get it, how to get it, how to get it, how to flourish.
03:20I was a magician,
03:24he was a magician,
03:25he was sending me to my house.
03:28I did some 12-15 sessions
03:31over the span of one month,
03:32where I learned how to do cards,
03:38how to do tricks,
03:39how to do it,
03:41how to show you.
03:42I have to show you the second skin.
03:46So,
03:48I enjoyed it.
03:51when you engage with cards,
03:53you will get the energy or attention
03:54that you will not do the scene.
03:56So,
03:57if you're a new musician,
03:59you can play the harmonies.
04:01So,
04:02either you play or you play.
04:06I'll play your little music.
04:10I'll play it.
04:15I'll play it.
04:16So,
04:17I'll play it.
04:19So,
04:19I'll play it.
04:28I'll play it.
04:30really uh we saw how we can evolve it, what should we keep it, what should we keep it,
04:36what should we keep it, what should we not keep it, how much we can show and how we can
04:39speak it.
04:41and it was a trustworthy and a very imaandar character in the first episode was very important to establish
04:49so we had the best to relate with this artist and connect with this character.
04:56Okay and Kritika, your character of Gulruk, she is the catalyst to bring him into a bigger world, you know,
05:02in the world of elites, crema de la creme
05:04but to be an actor and to act in the universe which is Bombay of a bygone era, what was
05:10that contrast for you?
05:11Because today the things didn't exist before, technology has changed quite a bit, the values have changed quite a bit,
05:17so how was it for you to get into that mind space of the character?
05:20See, the world was already created right, so you were already inhabiting that world, you go to the set, you
05:25go to the costume, you go to the world, that's a gateway to go into it
05:30and of course there is a language of that era, there is a therav in that era, there is of
05:35course an analogue world, so we work in a different way
05:38Then at one point, Matka's numbers start to come on the phone
05:49and in this way, which is on the back of the phone, I don't know if the camera can see,
05:53but it comes on the phone
05:56so that was very interesting because in some places, we had to also pretend that the sound was not coming,
06:02because at that time it was not coming
06:03and there was an operator, I don't think Gen Z will even know these words, what they are saying
06:08Telephone operator
06:09that at that time, people had to connect the lines manually, they had to do a whole department,
06:17and today, we don't know, because technology has gone, you know, so far ahead
06:22so there were such interesting things that belonged to the era before my time even
06:28so I think it was fascinating to be around it, but I think people and people's psyche
06:36and what is our addiction with our hope, that we can understand that and portray it
06:47and Nagraj sir, I want to know about the car fleet, I see some of the finest cars in the
06:54series
06:54I think there's a Cadillac, other cars as well, how did these cars take scout for the team
07:00and what was the overall process of the team?
07:02Actually, our team is so talented and they all know the world of Mumbai, which car will be
07:11or what we have and what can be seen, which car has to be seen, which car has to be
07:16seen
07:16and we were all thinking about it.
07:18So, Bridge, we didn't have a car in the beginning.
07:23you can buy cars, but the other one, Lali Ji bhai has a large car and we have seen cars
07:29here
07:30so there are those who are in our own right now, which the old cars are, if they are uplifting
07:38then what one can be seen is a huge part of the work, but these people have a lot of
07:43options
07:43that we have actually sir I will add to that I have a lot of scenes in the race course
07:49there was a lot of fancy cars on one race course there was a lot of fancy cars on there
07:52so I went to the photo to the car and I got to see where to see
07:55the owner came and there was a very prolific gentleman who's been collecting cars so there
08:04are people who are car enthusiasts who have been saving restoring these old fiat old cars
08:10which are like around for like 100 years finding parts for them importing parts from Germany from
08:16from there is a community of car enthusiasts who are talking to each other and sharing knowledge
08:29and information I got exposed to the whole world of it which was fascinating
08:34It was good, maybe it was the right job.
08:38Okay and for my final question Vijay, I have always seen you and Bruno Mars as very similar people in
08:44terms of the face cut.
08:45Who? Bruno Mars.
08:47Bruno Mars?
08:48Yeah, if ever you are offered a biopic based on him, will you say yes to it?
08:55Yeah, if I can do justice to it, if it is based in like, if he's a Marwadi for sure.
09:00You are the best dancers, I have to say. If there's anybody after MJ, it is a great performer.
09:07I'll be Marwadi Bruno Mars.
09:10Perfect.
09:10I'll buy tickets for this.
09:12There was a joke there, they're putting pictures of me with Bruno Mars and saying,
09:17look at Bruno Mars, just like showing similarities between him and my images.
09:24And I just wrote there, I said, he's Bruno Mars, I'm Bruno Muska.
09:27Yeah.
09:30Perfect. So with that, we have reached the end of this conversation.
09:33If you want to ask something about the series or any other, then how can you say?
09:37You should say anything.
