00:00Sir, one thing first, if a common man has to understand the entire way that is going between Farhan Akhtar's
00:08production now, I mean Farhan Akhtar and I'm facing, how will you explain this, simplest of the ways?
00:14You see, industry works in a particular fashion. The producer signs an actor, technicians, everybody. And when the confirmation is
00:24done, the producer starts investing money in the pre-production work. Depending on what is the budget of the film,
00:31the amount of money depends on that, the issuers.
00:35So here, Farhan Akhtar and Vitesh Exil assigned Anvir Singh for the film along with other technicians and other actors.
00:44And probably they said that they have signed in for three films, but we're talking about gone three years.
00:51And the entire recce started, the work started, scripting started and Anvir Singh was continuously involved. We have seen the
00:59chats, we have seen all the documents and all that.
01:03And he has finalized the locations also, he has finalized the script also, costumes, makeup, everything has been done.
01:12And the unit is supposed to leave three weeks later to shoot.
01:16Nearly 200 people are supposed to fly to somewhere abroad to shoot this film down soon.
01:21Because Dawn is a brand new shot abroad. And three weeks before the unit leaves, Ramir Singh backs out from
01:30open.
01:31And he says, I'm not doing the film. And whatever reasons, we are not getting into it.
01:39So after that, a lot of producers independently, actors, technicians, they sat together and they tried to have a meeting
01:48with him.
01:48And he is attending their meeting. For nothing transparent. So Farhan, Akhtar, Amritesh, they find a company in Iftada, my
01:59assistant director, where I am the president.
02:01He said, it's a big loss for us and we can't take this loss. And it's a wrong trend.
02:08So we took the entire company, we understood everything and we, as a natural justice, we invited Sanvir for the
02:18meeting to hear the other side.
02:19Because you cannot come to a conclusion by listening to only one side.
02:24He didn't respond. We sent him three reminders and we didn't get any response.
02:29So finally we took a call, there is something else to be done about it.
02:33So we called a press conference. We announced a press conference.
02:38And then as soon as the press conference went viral, we got a mail from him and where he said
02:45that this entire dispute doesn't fall in your domain.
02:52Federation's domain. Federation's domain. So we, I'm not really keen on following up with this case with you.
03:00So he was very clear about this. And he has a right to do that. He's a democratic country.
03:05So we sat together here in office where he sat together and discussed with other crafts and all that.
03:10We decided to issue a non-cooperation against it.
03:13Non-cooperation means that any of our member belonging to 38 crafts, which is in lakhs and thousands,
03:21will not work in any office project, whichever project, whether it's ads, whether it is feature film, whether it is,
03:27whatever.
03:28Our worker, our technicians will not, will not, will not go there and work.
03:34Till the time this, this entire issue is not sorted or solved.
03:40And we also have appealed to the producer bodies to get into this because it's their issue also.
03:45And take this thing forward.
03:48So, jointly, Federation, producer bodies, Danbir ji, Farhan and this thing, have to sit together and come to a conclusion.
03:58Because the fear is that if this goes unsolved, industry is doomed.
04:03Because tomorrow a top director might walk out last time, a top cameraman can walk out, a top producer might
04:09walk out, a top actor might walk out.
04:13So trust factor will be totally off.
04:17The entire industry works on trust factor.
04:20It's a very emotional bonding with which the industry works and functions.
04:24So this is a very dangerous trend and dangerous area which one is getting into.
04:31So hopefully we will see now that we have come forward and we are playing front foot.
04:38So I am sure industry will get together and see to where this problem will be solved.
04:41Sir, the entire signing that Farhan Akhtar signed and back up, what was the difference between this period?
04:51And what year did he sign for, Ranbir Singh and back up in the year and what year?
04:57It's been done for a month before.
04:58It's been done for a month before.
04:59It's been done for three weeks before, when he was going to shoot for the unit.
05:04Understand?
05:06The unit was supposed to leave for the shoot abroad.
05:10It's been done for three weeks before.
05:11He had to do everything.
05:14So he stopped.
05:17He stopped.
05:18He stopped.
05:18He stopped.
05:19He had to cancel all the time.
05:21He had to book a hotel, tickets,
05:23200 or 200 people.
05:25He had to do costumes,
05:26We had to do scripts,
05:27We had to sign them.
05:28And our technicians,
05:29they had to date someone.
05:31They had to be cameraman,
05:32art director,
05:34make-up,
05:35costume,
05:35dance director.
05:36The entire technicians have lost their job.
05:39That's why we are here.
05:40You have taken away the work of also technicians,
05:45who were signed by this film,
05:46who were part of this film.
05:48So this is not done.
05:49Sir, was there something written in that clause?
05:53Because when the clause is made,
05:55there are so many things written in that.
05:58Wait, wait.
05:58It's going to happen.
05:59There is a corporate company here.
06:00It's basic.
06:02It's basic, right?
06:04I'm telling you to leave the paper.
06:06As a moral duty,
06:08you can't do this.
06:09As a moral duty.
06:11You are part of the industry.
06:13You are not an outsider.
06:16And especially,
06:19taking into consideration
06:21those people who are stalwarts.
06:32Farhan Akhtar has been interacting with you.
06:34And you are not a complaint.
06:36That's the only thing.
06:37It's the only thing.
06:38It's the only thing.
06:39It's the only thing.
06:40It's the only thing.
06:41It's the only thing.
06:41Wait for it to come.
06:43I hope that the company has been a lot of questions.
06:46So,
06:46it will tell us a little bit.
06:48It's the only thing.
06:49We keep our own issues.
06:52We keep our own parameters.
06:54We keep our own parameters.
06:55We don't have to worry about it.
06:56We don't have to worry about it.
06:57It's officially a complaint.
06:57We have to react.
06:58So,
06:59Do you think that
07:00what you have called the non-cooperation movement
07:04What do you expect from the industry?
07:07Because Ranveer Singh has already signed new projects.
07:10He will not be able to shoot.
07:12We will not go to the shooting.
07:14We will not go to the vanity.
07:15We will not go to the technician.
07:15We will not go to the camera.
07:16We will not go to the equipment.
07:19We will not go to the set.
07:22We will not go to the set.
07:22We will not go to the shooting.
07:24That's also an important part of the industry.
07:29There is a force of nearly 38 crafts
07:31which work on the ground.
07:33So, obviously,
07:35very very remarkable
07:36that technicians who are there so less
07:39they have come together
07:40and taken a call against the biggest superstar
07:42who is Ranveer Singh currently.
07:43It's not against him.
07:44It's against a cause.
07:46We are standing by a cause.
07:47We don't want wrong things to start as a trail.
07:49Because if it starts, it continues.
07:51One person is successful in this.
07:53Then you cannot stop anyone.
07:54Has it happened before?
07:56Where is some star?
07:57Or like in the industry?
07:58In the industry?
07:59Back out is not like that.
08:00In the last moment,
08:01three weeks before you are going
08:02and the producer-director
08:03can be released.
08:04But the actor who is released
08:07in the last moment,
08:07it doesn't exist.
08:09It doesn't exist.
08:10It doesn't exist.
08:11It doesn't exist.
08:11It doesn't exist.
08:11It doesn't exist.
08:23It doesn't exist.
08:24It doesn't exist.
08:26It doesn't exist.
08:26There are three people here.
08:27They are not ordinary people.
08:31Nobody will take moments.
08:32Because the person who is talking about
08:34it will not be sure how it will be.
08:37That's also a part of industry.
08:39It will be the most part of it.
08:40What will happen in the last moment?
08:43Today it will happen.
08:45Tomorrow it will happen as well.
08:46Tomorrow it will happen as well.
08:48Tomorrow it will happen as well.
08:49This entire trend is wrong.
08:51But there are a few cases also, sir, last year.
08:55When producers, when they postpone the shoot...
09:00Postponement is something different.
09:02Anandhi, a tuffan, a bimarer.
09:04Postponement is something different.
09:05Nobody withdraws.
09:07It's a withdrawal.
09:09Postponement is not an issue.
09:11It's a withdrawal.
09:12In this instance, the producer did not sell a film,
09:14or sign a film after that case?
09:16That's a different issue.
09:18You're mixing up the shoes.
09:20So, we're in an issue.
