00:00I went to London and couldn't get there, Japan and couldn't get there.
00:07Then my technician gave me that was a wonderful effect.
00:12That was a wonderful effect.
00:16Today's time is our competition from foreign films.
00:20We are standing in front of foreign films.
00:23They want to tell us that they can become such films in Hindustan.
00:30I am more confident.
00:33I am more confident in my previous films.
00:37That I will surpass all my films.
00:45What is the story of the film?
00:48The story of the film is not possible.
00:49Now I have started.
00:51I will tell you the lines.
00:52I will tell you something else.
00:54Sir, I would like to think about what is involved in this film.
00:58I don't think that such big stars,
01:00who do not do two jobs,
01:02do not do three jobs,
01:03do not do ten jobs,
01:05do not do ten jobs.
01:06It is more than sufficient in my opinion.
01:09To answer this film.
01:11Because this film is the most important factor in the film.
01:18It is so much that people have seen in Indian screens.
01:23It is not seen in the film today.
01:25I have seen a lot of mega stars.
01:27For example,
01:28how many people have been?
01:30How many people have been?
01:30How many?
01:31How many people have been?
01:31How many heroes have been?
01:34I have been talking about 10 heroes.
01:36Mega stars.
01:37But the same thing,
01:38they will come from the sporting industry.
01:40They will come from over and up.
01:41They will come from over and up.
01:48I can tell you,
01:49I am waiting for 10 heroes,
01:49who have been taken over the Indian screens.
01:52Tell me,
01:53I will see that I am going second or third.
01:57Who have been?
01:58I had given the 7 heroes,
02:006 heroes,
02:00on the nagin,
02:02and also,
02:03on theMO on the east.
02:05Tell me,
02:06who have been taken over so many heroes and heroes?
02:09Sir,
02:13I don't want to give credit to artists who are working on me, they are nice to me, they favor
02:21me, in this respect that they are so thrilled, they are so inspired that they want to make a film
02:32like Hindustan's name, that they know that there are such big films in Hindustan.
02:38Sir, do you have any planning about music?
02:41Music means that we are sitting with our music director.
02:47We will have time for the final, we will have time for the final.
02:50It is not that we will give a song and record and picturize it, it will not happen.
02:55I have to see, I have to find the best possible songs that we will record.
03:04Sir, you have said that a main highlight is special effects.
03:09How much is the budget for the special effects?
03:12I don't know how many crores will go, but I think it will go up to 4-5 crores.
03:20Sir, do you think there are so many megastars, Akshay Kumar, Sunni, Shethi,
03:25and that's why all the people who are in the world, are the people who are in the world, and
03:29they will be in the world's world.
03:33If you have capacity to change it, the audience will tell you how much capacity is.
03:43This is a tough competition for them.
03:46Sir, tell me what you have thought about the location of the film?
03:51In this film, there are 58 sets.
03:55There are 27 sets that are one day.
03:58This is a complicated film.
04:02When I tell you how much, the audience will tell you how much it is.
04:08The audience will tell you how much it is.
04:10The audience will tell you how much it is.
04:14Sir, why did you change the name of Arman?
04:19It is a little superstition.
04:22Take a little faith.
04:23If you have any work, the audience will tell me that the audience will change the name of the film.
04:31The audience will tell you how much it is.
04:35Sir, there is a special issue in this film?
04:37The audience will tell you the story of the subject matter.
04:41If you have any message, I am not making a message, but I am not making a message.
04:47Our myth, our belief is about certain things that I am taking on the screen.
04:55There is a spirit.
04:56A spirit cannot do anything individually.
04:59When she goes into the body of somebody, then she can do anything.
05:03She can do anything.
05:04She can do anything.
05:05She cannot do anything.
05:06She cannot do anything.
05:07She cannot do anything in her life.
05:08It is transparent.
05:10There are certain effects that I would like to give you on the screen.
05:14So it is a sequence that I have told you.
05:17My biggest reward is on this film and effects.
05:21First of all, when you have made a special effect, you have made a special effect, or did you have
05:31any change in that time?
05:32It was a very change in that time. At that time, there was no argument.
05:36I was able to get a special effect in London and Japan.
05:43Then our technician gave me that was a wonderful effect.
05:48At that time, there was no argument.
05:56At that time, there was a lot of effect on today's date.
05:59What effect would you get from this picture?
06:05What effect would you get from this picture?
06:29What effect would you get from this picture?
06:42What effect would you get from this picture?
06:44What effect would you get from this picture?
06:53What effect would you get from this picture?
06:56What effect would you get from this picture?
07:03What effect would you get from this picture?
07:10What effect would you get from this picture?
07:11I also got the subject in 30 to 35 years.
07:15I didn't get any subject from this picture.
07:17This is the first time I got a subject.
07:19I'm going to say that is a very superior subject.
07:23Do you like the subject of the youngster today?
07:30Yes, very much.
07:32Today, the generation needs different things, different presentations.
07:38And the total presentation of my film is a total mode.
07:42All these boys and girls are college students.
07:46College atmosphere is the latest mode film.
07:51How will they make their sets and what will they do?
07:54All the modes.
07:55I told them that students will be there.
07:58That's why I can't change them.
08:01They will get their costumes with their characters.
08:08Today, the train is going to take a new star cast.
08:11So, do you prefer the star cast for yourself?
08:14I haven't done that.
08:15Because if a new star is standing with a seasoned artist,
08:19it will be a problem for me.
08:22And it will also happen for them.
08:23Because if a new star with a seasoned artist,
08:27if you take a new hero,
08:28then there will be no change.
08:31People will be satisfied with each other.
08:35They will be satisfied with each other.
08:37They will be satisfied with each other.
08:45They will be satisfied with each other.
08:47That means, it will be a good one.
08:50I don't want to take any risks.
08:53That means, I don't want to take any risks.
08:54That means, there will be a capable result.
08:57So, in this case, I don't want to take any risks.
09:00I have been taking all of these new heroes.
09:04Like you, 10 heroes have taken.
09:07What kind of heroes do you think about them?
09:11How were you happy in your own leadership?
09:14You were satisfied with all heroes.
09:16If all heroes are doing work today,
09:19then you're satisfied with stories,
09:21and you're doing what you're doing.
09:22You see, that the time of the period is different.
09:25Even today's time is different.
09:26People also need your names.
09:28First of all, I think that I have been released because I have agreed all of them.
09:34So, we all understand that the sincerity and all of the things that are so important are so important.
09:43It's just about the story.
09:45It's not about the story of an individual.
09:47It's not about the story of an individual.
09:48It's about the story of an artist.
09:51It's about the story of an artist's script.
10:01He is also part and parcel of the story. He is a very good role. He has got it.
10:08And I think that he has a chance to show his talent.
10:15And if he has a good job, he will do it. Otherwise, I won't take it.
10:28He has got it.
10:28I have to reply for it.
10:31What would you like to say as an artist?
10:35He has got it.
10:37He has got it.
10:41He has got it.
10:42He has got it.
10:45He has got it.
10:47He has got it.
10:48He has got it.
10:49He has got it.
10:50He will take it.
10:55Mr. Bachchan is doing a role in this film?
10:59No.
11:00Nothing.
11:01Is there any more artists coming from senior?
11:04Who comes?
11:05How do I say it?
11:06I cannot say it.
11:08I try to get it from top.
11:10But if you can't get it, I cannot force it.
11:13It is the hope of the artist's will.
11:14It is the honor of the artist's will.
11:16It is his hope.
11:16It is his love.
11:17If he feels good, he is most welcome.
11:19I am sure that there are a lot of action with romance.
11:26I am sure that there is a lot of romance or a lot of action.
11:32There are three things that I have told you.

12:38I have confidence that this person gives me the material.
12:42Every distributor has gained me from this.
12:45Every person has gained me.
12:46Why do I not gain this?
12:48I am more confident.
12:49I have confidence in the previous films.
12:52I have confidence in the previous films.
12:54I have confidence in the previous films.
12:55I have confidence that I am going to surpass all my films.
12:59Sir, normally, the foreign locations are also working on films.
13:02What do you want to do to my own film?
13:04I am not even in my concept.
13:07What is it?
13:08If you show the industry in the foreign film,
13:10you will not be satisfied.
13:12You will not be satisfied.
13:13But you will go.
13:14If you have a big screen, I will be satisfied.
13:16You have a big screen made a nagin.
13:18Now, it has been made for our small screen.
13:21So, you have seen the nagin.

13:29When he came up, he told me,
13:31that I am not the subject subject subject.
13:32My name is nagin.
13:33My concept is different.
13:35I said, okay.
13:36Then, people are talking to me.
13:38They are the type.
13:39I am the only one.
13:40What is the difference?
13:40It is also closed.
13:42Now, it is closed.

13:47What is it?
13:49The studio is not for the shooting.
13:52No one has come.

14:49There is no limit.
14:50There is no competition.
14:50We are now seeing the film in a certain film.
14:54We have seen the films in the top of the film.
14:56It is the name of our Indian films.
14:58Why will not come here?

15:02I only want to understand that.
15:04I don't understand the fact that.
15:06I will say it.
15:11I don't understand the fact that we are afraid of it.
