00:08My name is Hassan Chaudhary and this is Buz
00:12Buz's one of the other episode with you.
00:16A.R.Y.K. drama is finished, some drama is going to start.
00:21Buz will bring you all the updates, all your favorite actors and all your favorite actors.
00:29Buz's one of the other episode.
00:31Today we have a very important topic.
00:34Because today we have a very important topic.
00:36The drama is finished.
00:37I believe that you will have a lot of questions.
00:41I have a question.
00:43Today we will answer questions.
00:46But before we have a conversation with you.
00:49This week the A.R.Y.K. drama is how can we talk about it?
00:53We will talk about it.
00:55Finally we will talk about it.
00:57We will talk about it.
00:57The A.R.Y.K. drama is over again.
01:00The A.R.Y.K. drama is trying to make it more jealous.
01:26I will talk about it.
01:29I will talk about it.
01:29That's why you are saying yes.
01:31What is your eyes when I want to see it in your eyes?
01:39What do you think about it in the end of the drama?
01:42The A.R.Y.K. drama is trying to make it more than that.
01:45The A.R.Y.K. drama is trying to make it more than that.
01:57The A.R.Y.K. drama is trying to make it more than that.
02:01While the A.R.Y.K. drama is trying to make it more.
02:08Maybe you can worry about it more than you are doing.
02:27Fraud is with you.
02:28Fraud?
02:29If my Abbuji will tell you something,
02:31then I'll sit in front of you.
02:32I'm telling you!
02:34If anyone's talking to you,
02:36then listen to him and sit down.
02:38Abbuji's respect doesn't mean anything
02:40that we'll keep the respect of the other.
02:41He's not here, Fiji!
02:45God bless these children.
02:48You can complain in court.
02:49You can complain in court.
02:55How dumb a man is this.
02:57And I don't know how bad this person is.
02:59God bless you!
03:08It's a story of houses,
03:09a story of marriage.
03:10It's very relatable.
03:12People love it.
03:13And of course,
03:14backed by some very strong performances.
03:17Top of the list,
03:18Numaan-e-jaa-sahab.
03:20Every time I want my heart
03:21to make a song for them,
03:22I'm so proud that they have
03:24the power of this power.
03:26But with all the other actors,
03:29Hiramani, Afan, Harim,
03:32they're all doing such a fantastic job.
03:34And again,
03:35I want to give a shout-out
03:36to Aysan Talish as well.
03:37Sara Sadehenshah,
03:38whose story is a very important
03:40and very interesting way
03:42that this story is unraveled.
03:44I'm very important.
03:44So I'm saying that
03:45these stories are our dreams.
03:47These are our dreams.
03:49We don't see them on television.
03:51And when we see them,
03:52the treatment and execution
03:54I feel like it's a lot.
03:55It's a lot in the OTT territory.
03:58It's over-exaggerated.
03:59It's over-the-top.
04:02It's very realistic.
04:05And I think that is one reason
04:07why all of you are also really enjoying it.
04:09So I just have to tell you,
04:11I haven't really loved it.
04:20This is my plan.
04:28I don't care of you.
04:31I don't know.
04:33Because today, I am going to replace my guest with you
04:39That is a very important part of the cast.
04:41I am not going to die because I am not going to die.
04:43And now I am going to replace my guest with you.
04:46But I am not going to replace my guest with you.
04:49This week, you will see the second episode of this drama.
04:53My life is you.
04:55It is a very anticipated drama.
04:58Hello, my introduction is not going to be done.
05:00My name is a workman.
05:01But I do not know myself.
05:02But you do not need to be done.
05:05You are not a fool of a fool. Who are you?
05:07I have told you.
05:08My name is a workman.
05:09Your car was a mis-understanding.
05:11You are big. I am going to replace you.
05:13Let me give you a pardon.
05:15I will not forgive you.
05:15I will give you a case.
05:18I am angry with you.
05:19I am angry with you.
05:21You are just a pardon.
05:24I will not look at you.
05:27But I will not let you.
05:28I am angry with you.
05:31I am angry with you.
05:34My feelings are my feelings.
05:37My life is my life.
05:39My life is my life.
06:01I can't wait to watch it and hopefully in the next few weeks I will share my point of view
06:07with you
06:08Meanwhile, those of you who have seen the point of view, tell me what your first impression is in this
06:14drama
06:14And most importantly, my life is your cast, which you want to meet with?
06:20I can't wait to see it, but I can't wait to see it
06:33I can't wait to see it, I can't wait to see it, I can't wait to see it
06:42Breakthrough performance, this is a breakthrough star
06:46I can't wait to see it, I can't wait to see it, I can't wait to see it
06:50And the door is finally coming, Azaan Sami Khan
06:56Wow, you need to be a drum roll, you need to be a dancer, you need to be a dancer
06:59You need to be a dancer, you need to be a dancer
07:01Peace be upon you, how are you?
07:04So good to have you on my show, Azaan
07:06Thank you so much
07:07So good to have you on my show, please have a seat
07:09How did you allow this to happen?
07:11What do you mean? I am the one who called you
07:13Guys, someone from my childhood, when I wanted to work, and when I opened my eyes
07:18So I thought that Hasan will be going to interview me
07:21And he refused, and when I came to the point that the PR people said that I want to interview
07:27you
07:28I said that I will go to Hasan one day
07:30And I was disappointed again and again
07:32Don't do this, you thought that I was going to be a believer that Hasan
07:34I am coming to that, and then I would be like, why? What a difference in me
07:37I think that I am not a good actor, I am a musician, I am a good musician
07:42And then I knew that the game is something else
07:45What a difference in me
07:46It is a problem
07:47Who is it?
07:49I am not a girl
07:50So then I was like, okay, okay, let's go, next time
07:54Next time
07:55You are so passionate, you give the entire interview
07:58Please, please
07:59You have never given the opportunity to give you the opportunity to interview you
08:04I am the one who called you
08:06That is true
08:06That is true
08:07Azaan, please come to my show
08:08I am very grateful
08:09Because Azaan has told you that you don't have dates
08:12And our team
08:12That is not true, absolutely
08:14I said, Azaan, you don't have dates, please give us a date
08:18But thank you
08:23Thank you
08:23Thank you
08:23Thank you
08:23Happy birthday to Zeba Ji first of all
08:25Thank you so much
08:25Such an icon, such a legend
08:27There are many prayers for him
08:28And thank you for coming to my show
08:31Sir, congratulations firstly
08:33Thank you, thank you
08:34Congratulations to you, big success
08:36Thank you, thank you so much
08:38Yes, many people have liked it
08:40Some people have also made it
08:42But the bottom line is that Azaan Sami Khan has emerged as the breakthrough performer
08:48Of I am not a man to
08:49Thank you so much
08:50This feeling is sinking
08:51I am very grateful
08:52I think honestly
08:54I have like these
08:55Pinch me moments
08:56When I look at these posters
08:58So I am just like
08:59I am just like
09:00I am just like
09:02I can't take any credit for it
09:04Because
09:04I think
09:05Every actor
09:06Or artist
09:07Dreams of a few phone calls
09:09At least in our industry
09:10We all dream of certain phone calls
09:12The top of the list will be Big Sur
09:15One or two other people
09:16And then
09:17The honour to be opposite
09:18Ahamai bhai
09:20To work with
09:21Asaima ji
09:21Babar Ali sahab
09:22Be your father
09:23Now twice in a row
09:24So that's a big honour for me
09:27Sajal
09:29Kya Ketan Sabhaappa
09:31Asif sahab
09:32Everybody
09:32You know
09:33It's a
09:33Then all the younger guys as well
09:35You know
09:35The fun was
09:36I was able to make new friends on the set
09:39Whether it's Namir
09:40Or Durab
09:41Or all of them
09:41So
09:43Sinking in it would be
09:44You know
09:45I am just very grateful
09:46Honestly
09:47I am so grateful
09:49I am so grateful
09:49When I am in the studio
09:51I was like
09:52That I am
09:53This path
09:54From my childhood
09:56Maybe
09:56From my mother
09:57You know
09:59This is
09:59It feels so at home to me
10:01These corridors
10:02And things
10:02So to be here
10:04As part of a project
10:05Is very
10:06Very special
10:07Azaan
10:08There was also
10:09Obviously
10:09Which we have seen in the story of Faraad
10:12And also
10:13What was the difference
10:14This time
10:16What was the difference
10:18What was the difference
10:19What was the difference
10:19What was the difference
10:21That was the difference
10:21That was the difference
10:22That was the difference
10:24That was the difference
10:24And now
10:25That was the difference
10:26That was the difference
10:27Firstly thank you for saying that
10:29Honestly
10:29I think practice
10:31In any arts
10:32Helps you improve
10:35I think I was in very safe hands
10:37Here
10:37I was among
10:40A very
10:41Very very
10:41You know
10:42Masterful director
10:43DOP
10:44You know
10:44They were all
10:46Top of their field people
10:47So in their field
10:49I was able to
10:50I think
10:50Be a bit freer
10:52Hmm
10:52Because
10:53People think
10:55That Azaan
10:55Comes from a certain household
10:57Hmm
10:57But Azaan also knows
10:58He comes from a certain household
10:59Hmm
11:00So
11:01It's not that
11:02I'm oblivious
11:03That I don't think
11:03That I have a legacy
11:05I have a legacy
11:06Repetism word
11:07Absolutely
11:08Absolutely
11:09So I am saying
11:09That I don't know about it
11:11I have a belief
11:12And because it is a belief
11:13I have a belief
11:13So the pressure
11:15When you are in an environment
11:17That feels very safe
11:18You are able to put it aside
11:20And say
11:21That those things
11:22People will see me
11:23Better
11:23I am just focusing on my work
11:25As Farhad
11:26As a negative character
11:28The way that you've excelled
11:29It happens
11:30In a streak
11:31That one kind of character
11:33Is a better way
11:35As opposed to
11:36Another kind of character
11:38Because maybe emotion
11:39Is a better way
11:40Because one kind of emotion
11:41Is a better way
11:42Is expressed
11:43If you think
11:43That he was negative
11:45So that's why
11:45This is another way
11:47I never thought of him
11:50As negative
11:50Okay
11:51That was
11:52I think my first brief
11:53From Big Sub
11:54Was that he is not a villain
11:55You have not thought
11:56That he is a villain
11:57So I felt very difficult
11:58Because in the first meeting
11:59When I called him
11:59They have a villain
12:00So I remember all the villains
12:01From my life
12:02From Joker
12:03You know all of them
12:05From Sholei
12:06And everything
12:06Okay, the villain is like
12:07He is making a face
12:08He is making gestures
12:10And he does
12:10He doesn't need anything
12:11Don't do anything
12:12Don't do anything
12:13If we do
12:14I thought
12:14Okay
12:15And then he was right
12:16In the sense
12:17That someone
12:19You don't like a villain
12:20Especially for Harhad
12:21He is in his mind
12:22He is right
12:24If you grow up
12:25With the wrong morals
12:26Then you are not a villain
12:28If you think
12:28Everything is fair
12:30In love and war
12:31And literally
12:32If everything is fair
12:32Then you are not a villain
12:34In your mind
12:35So for me
12:36He wasn't a villain
12:36I never thought of him
12:37As a villain
12:38I still continue to realise
12:39That he
12:40Azan probably thinks
12:41He is a villain
12:43Farhad doesn't think
12:43He is a villain
12:44Yeah, Farhad obviously
12:45So when I was
12:46In my head
12:46I am not trying to be pseudo
12:48But when I was
12:50In my method
12:50You know
12:51So
12:52He was a lover
12:53Beg sir
12:54There was discussion
12:54That I will do this scene
12:55That I will do this
12:56He is the most chill out guy
12:58Yeah
12:59Like
12:59Unbelievably chill out
13:01In the sense
13:02You know
13:03I will be prepared
13:03That this scene
13:04I will do this
13:07Go there
13:07Go there
13:08Go there
13:08Go there
13:09Then I will say
13:10Yes, I will say
13:11Yes, I will say
13:12Look at this type
13:15Yes, cut
13:16Done
13:18What do you mean?
13:20Yes, it's done
13:20Most important scene
13:22Like my first scene of the drama
13:23Was when I go to Manto's house to shoot him
13:26Okay
13:27That is the first scene I shot
13:28Of the whole play
13:31I can't explain
13:33I can't explain
13:33The shot is
13:34I am out of the car
13:34And then Manto's house
13:36And then Manto's house
13:36In the sense of this
13:37People didn't realize that
13:38He had to lose the evidence
13:39But he left two witnesses
13:40And left there
13:41He left there
13:43That was the first day
13:43Before I came out of the car
13:44Before I came out of the car
13:46Before I came out of the car
13:46I will go out of the car
13:47Okay
13:48Was there so much anxiety?
13:49Of course
13:50The first day
13:51We were in December 14th or 15th
13:54December
13:56And it's very cold
13:57In Bahriya town
13:58We were shooting
14:00And in front of Humayi
14:02Sanam Ji
14:03Beg Saab
14:05Suleiman Razak
14:05The whole team
14:07And I have to
14:08Do all of this stuff
14:09My first day
14:10Come out and shoot Humayu Sahib
14:11Yes
14:12I thought I will faint
14:13And I remember
14:14I even teased Beg Saab about this
14:15Because on that day
14:16Before I came out of the shot
14:17You will get water
14:18You need water
14:19Then
14:20I hope I can make it there
14:23I was very nervous
14:24And I think that's a good thing
14:26Some people have said
14:28That Farhad and Mehmal
14:29There is a good chemistry
14:31You have seen the comments
14:32What is your feedback
14:36And reaction?
14:37I think
14:39Maybe
14:41Sajal and I have worked together before
14:42So there is that memory
14:44From that project
14:45Secondly
14:46I think
14:48Because Mehmal's character
14:49Is also a very fiery character
14:50And Farhad's character
14:51Is also fiery
14:52So when he comes to the side
14:53Then he comes to the side
14:54He is a natural
14:55We are very little
14:56If you look at this drama
14:58I think
14:58We will get four scenes
15:00Like that
15:01But they were all very
15:02Heightened scenes
15:03Also
15:04Whoever has said
15:05That Farhad has liked us
15:07I always say
15:08That he was written
15:10That's why
15:11That's why
15:12Credit has to go to the material
15:14As well as the direction
15:15That
15:16If he wasn't written
15:17As this character
15:18Who comes to
15:20You know
15:20Handi
15:20So then it may not have been
15:23I don't know
15:24I don't know
15:25The journey
15:26And the story
15:27That came from
15:28That came from
15:29Your own
15:30You were satisfied
15:32That this arc
15:34Is made like
15:35You had found
15:37room for improvement
15:38In any way
15:39I think
15:41I think
15:41The moral justice
15:42That was good
15:44That
15:45That
15:45Ifrah
15:45I expect
15:48I was doing
15:49That
15:49That
15:49That
15:49But
15:53He
15:53Did
15:54He
15:54Did
15:56Not
15:57Kill
15:57His
15:57To
16:00To
16:01To
16:01To
16:01To
16:01To

16:19When
16:19You
16:19First
16:19Read
16:19The
16:20When
16:21Ending
16:21In the script
16:21So
16:21When I started shooting
16:22Ending
16:22In the script
16:23When I started shooting
16:24I didn't know
16:25So
16:25I was shocked
16:27I was shocked
16:27To play the character
16:28Ending
16:28I was shocked
16:32When
16:33I was shocked
16:33When
16:33I was shocked
16:34I was shocked
16:35I said
16:36Why
16:37I was shocked
16:38When
16:39I was shocked
16:39I said
16:40I was shocked
16:42I have to do it
16:46I have to do it
16:47When Farhad died
16:48In the last episode
16:49How did you
16:50To
16:51Feedback
16:52He said
16:53I was shocked
16:54Interestingly
16:55I was with my kids
16:56Now
16:57They started making reels
16:58They were very upset
17:00I didn't think
17:01I was shocked
17:01They saw the shots
17:03That
17:04They started crying
17:05No
17:06Baba
17:06You can't do things
17:07In which you die
17:08I was shocked
17:10They were very upset
17:11The first reaction
17:12was that
17:12I was shocked
17:13As anybody
17:14I was shocked
17:15I was shocked
17:15I was shocked
17:16And they were upset
17:18That was the first reaction
17:19It was interesting
17:21For you
17:21In my opinion
17:22That you were only
17:23I don't think
17:25There was a chance
17:27And
17:27To take the stories
17:27And to take the stories
17:28And to take the stories
17:30So how are you
17:31Were you happy
17:32About all the praise
17:34That you were getting
17:34And also kind of
17:36Like
17:37Okay
17:37Okay
17:37The stories
17:38That came to me
17:40I'm going to sound very diplomatic
17:43But I'm not being diplomatic
17:46It's a team game
17:47So I can't be just happy for myself
17:50Who are involved in a project
17:52They're all close to my heart
17:53And
17:54Fortunately or fortunately
17:55When I worked
17:56They were close to my heart
17:58So
17:58If something comes to them
17:59I feel like
18:00I can't be happy
18:02Of course
18:02I'm grateful for my work
18:03Or my character
18:05I like
18:05But
18:07If the ship is getting damaged
18:09I will not jump
18:09And say
18:10It's okay
18:10I'm happy
18:12I'm grateful
18:12But I'm a team player
18:14Khawattino's Raat
18:15Azaan is now with us
18:16We are here
18:17We are here
18:18After a short break
18:20Welcome back
18:21Khawattino's Raat
18:22Azaan is now with us
18:23Let me tell you
18:24Let me tell you
18:25About this
18:26We have also talked about it
18:27And other people
18:28Talking about it
18:29Azaan Sami Khan
18:30Is very privileged
18:31And this
18:32Is
18:33So
18:33Azaan Sami Khan
18:34Is there any challenges
18:35Are
18:36As far as work
18:37Is concerned
18:38What is that
18:39I want to know
18:39I want to know
18:39I want to know
18:42Azaan Sami Khan
18:43As an actor
18:44Does Azaan Sami Khan
18:46Struggle at all
18:47To find work
18:48To find opportunities
18:49To find scripts
18:50Because
18:51A popular perception
18:53Is that
18:54In a
18:55Azaan
18:55In a
18:55Azaan
19:00Azaan
19:00Tell them
19:00These 10 scripts
19:01Which one
19:01Do you choose?
19:02I will do this
19:03Then Azaan
19:03What is that?
19:06What is that?
19:07What is that?
19:08I have never gotten a script as the first choice
19:11I have given scripts that I have maybe conceptualized
19:14And that too they wanted someone else to play
19:16Really?
19:16I will never victimize myself
19:18Because
19:18The advantages
19:21Alhamdulillah
19:21Someone in my position
19:22Born in
19:23Certain households
19:24Has
19:25That
19:25I will never victimize that
19:28I will never
19:29Thank you so much for the world
19:31If I can do this
19:32But
19:32My struggles are different
19:34Or
19:35Will they
19:35My physicality
19:38Is a lot of struggle
19:40That's right
19:40It's less
19:41But
19:42Anybody who has gone through it
19:43Realizes what it is
19:45The flip side of it is
19:47That
19:49If I felt
19:51The pressure
19:52The makers felt 10 times more pressure
19:54Because they are making money
19:57I have heard this too
19:58Azaan
19:59Azaan makes money
20:00Yes
20:00I have heard
20:01I have heard this too
20:01I am not making money
20:02You are a very big director
20:05That's right
20:05That's right
20:07So the point is that
20:08It's
20:10I was never a first choice
20:11For most of my projects
20:13I was maybe the fourth choice
20:14Or fifth choice
20:15And because it's a business
20:17If someone's dates were not aligned
20:19So someone had another project
20:20So this was
20:20So they had to go to shoot
20:22So they have to take a shot
20:23So they have to take a shot
20:24Now
20:25I don't mind saying that
20:26Because I think
20:27That's what it is
20:28But
20:30I think maybe now
20:31I have started getting
20:32That
20:33In the first
20:33One, two, three
20:34I am not
20:35Were you the first choice for Farhad?
20:37No
20:38Farhad you weren't the first choice?
20:39No
20:39And each
20:40Saying that for a fact?
20:41For a fact
20:42I promise
20:42You can call up our friend
20:44And ask him
20:46I wasn't
20:46I know the people who were the first choice
20:49But that's what I am saying
20:50It's
20:50What number choice were you for Farhad?
20:52I think probably fourth or fifth
20:53Fourth or fifth?
20:54Fourth or fifth?
20:55Fourth or fifth
20:56Because I for a fact
20:56Know two people
20:59They have been convinced
21:00Or not
21:01Possibly
21:02Do you bother this thought?
21:05Never
21:05No
21:07Offensive
21:08No
21:08No
21:09No
21:09No
21:09No
21:09No
21:09No
21:09No
21:09No
21:10People say that
21:11You are offering 12 script on sousing to the tasterys
21:1212 scripts
21:13That's from Azaan Sammy Khan
21:14but in that he chooses
21:16That
21:18Sajjal and Yumnad cast
21:21Because it wasn't going to be a drama
21:22Azaan Sammy Khan
21:23That was to the break
21:24That
21:25In that
21:26I was the fourth choice
21:27Third or fourth choice
21:28Third or fourth choice
21:29In that drama, you were the fourth choice
21:30Fourth choice
21:32It wasn't destined for you
21:33It wasn't conceptualized
21:34It was written for somebody else
21:35It was someone else's concept
21:36Who was an actor to play in it?
21:39So, that's what I'm saying. It's eventually a business.
21:42And you said that you've pitched your own concept,
21:45and you've said that you've pitched it with someone else?
21:46Someone else.
21:48Not once, but quite a few times.
21:51You love music as a composer, as a musician.
21:56I think that you've really nailed it.
21:59You've got a very good reputation as a musician.
22:01Thank you, sir.
22:02This is also in the beginning.
22:03Why do you like it?
22:04Sir, my first film that came out was Bharwaz.
22:10In Bharwaz, initially, I was signed for one song.
22:13There were six songs in the film, I was signed for one song.
22:16I was sure that I had to keep tabs on the status of the rest of the songs.
22:20If the others are making, they will not make it.
22:22So, I always make it two songs.
22:24Then I send one one, it was approved.
22:25I said, by the way, if it's not ready, I've made it.
22:28And it was one-one and five songs.
22:30It wasn't that I asked him to sign him on for five songs.
22:34For the film, no.
22:36Why is this perception then?
22:38I don't know. What do I do?
22:39I want to know. Why is this perception?
22:42It is. I don't know.
22:43Which is why I don't fight it.
22:45I don't fight it.
22:46Even now, maybe you're not believing me.
22:48But it's…
22:49No, I believe you.
22:50The thing is, I believe you.
22:52But I don't understand why there is such a perception.
22:54Why is this perception that there is a very heavy duty.
22:58Like you said, you would put money on your own.
23:01I've heard it myself.
23:03See, I cannot complain. It's fine.
23:05It's a good reputation to have if that's what people are thinking.
23:08But you produced it? You produced it?
23:10My mother produced it.
23:11I came back to college and they told me to work and learn something.
23:15I think I saw the other day, Dhanesh Nawaz has said that every actor should be ADD.
23:20ADD should be ADD.
23:21I have done it, I have done it.
23:22So because of that, I think he is absolutely right.
23:25It is a very important thing. It helps me every day.
23:30If you've been ADD, your mother has produced a film, so let's go.
23:36Again, there is experience of all these things.
23:39And many of our actors are producing drama.
23:42You haven't thought that I would produce it.
23:44I'd love to at some point.
23:46What's that?
23:47It will be easy. If you will produce it yourself, you will cast it yourself?
23:52Probably, someone will say something.
23:55The director will say, I don't know.
23:58No, the thing is that, I'd love to at some point.
24:02I think I have a long way.
24:04I also have to learn a lot as an actor.
24:06I also have to do a job.
24:07So I think there are some things in the music.
24:11When you are giving different expressions on the screen,
24:15what do you think that you want to do in this kind of work?
24:19I am going to say something that is very uncool.
24:23I don't know if people have different ambitions.
24:26I am a very commercial.
24:28I like characters that resonate with a larger audience and get excited.
24:33I am not just playing this.
24:35I feel like we have to say what we have to say.
24:41We haven't found our Mr. Bean yet.
24:43Okay.
24:44If you think about it, we haven't.
24:45Yeah.
24:46In that sense.
24:47You know, you should have seen children.
24:51I am a big fan of Dwayne Johnson.
24:52I am a big fan of Dwayne Johnson.
24:53Now he is like kids love him.
24:55So for me, it's all those kind of things.
24:56It's like how to reach that larger audience.
24:59How to deeply connect with them.
25:00Because right now, I feel that some guys are doing it in a great way.
25:04But I just think that it's an open place.
25:07I mean, I am not, I am not as an actor as an artistically.
25:11Like, you know.
25:13But as you are saying yourself, you are never the first choice.
25:17You are probably the fourth or fifth choice.
25:19So, the first choice that is an actor, they also say that in our industry,
25:26there are such stories, such stories that are excited for us.
25:30So, if you come to the fourth or fifth ladder on that step,
25:36you will feel more restricted and restrained.
25:39That was still a certain point.
25:41As I said, you said, what was the improvement?
25:43The improvement was mainly that I knew what was going on.
25:48Because my relationships which has been built by the director,
25:51he was a composer a lot earlier.
25:54So, it's not like I didn't know what was going on, what was going on in the pipeline, what were
25:57the concepts.
25:58Suddenly, now, alhamdulillah,
26:02they felt that we have to do it with our own mind.
26:05The day we think he is ready to do it or do it or whatever.
26:10Ready for a profitable venture.
26:12Exactly.
26:13So, those discussions now have started to happen.
26:15So, that may be later.
26:18I am saying that as an actor, do you feel restricted with the kind of characters that are generally written
26:23in our industry?
26:25There are 3-4 shades of hero in our drama.
26:28There are many off-beat projects in a year or two years.
26:33But other than that, the way the boys are in our drama,
26:36heroes, men, first lead, second lead, villain,
26:39they are perhaps similar.
26:42I don't look at it in a bad way.
26:43In the sense that I do think that this is a drama industry particularly.
26:46It's a very machine.
26:49You have to go to someone's house every night at 8am.
26:52And they have to come home with their family and watch drama.
26:56It could be me, it could be you, it could be anybody.
26:58Very replaceable.
26:59Like, it's a, you know, frankly speaking, it is a very replaceable medium for the actors.
27:04If you are not, if you are being difficult, somebody will take your place the next day.
27:07That's it.
27:07And inshallah, they will do a good job and the projects are not made because the machine has to continue.
27:12Or the show must go on.
27:13Obviously, those things are also like to do.
27:16I do think that bankability for any actor allows risk to be a little safer.
27:22So, I can name a few projects.
27:24If the actor doesn't work in them, the project doesn't work, which was offbeat.
27:29His bankability allowed risk-taking and then that project worked.
27:34So, you know, I was also saying that for me, being successful is important.
27:38And that is why you can do more work.
27:41And then it becomes more work.
27:43Like, I don't think another actor could bankroll Manto, I am Manto, other than I am.
27:48Who approves this subject?
27:52That's why he did it.
27:54No, no, no one does.
27:55And I remember when he was shooting and we all knew that there is a risk attached to it.
27:59But his, mashallah, position allowed him to take that risk at that level.
28:04And we see many examples of this, if we look outside of Pakistan.
28:07So, I think there is a restriction because actors can take that risk.
28:15So, I think it's a bit of a younger, newer actor, who are not bankable, you can put it in
28:21a safer mold.
28:22So, you know, this is a formula and it will go out.
28:25Azaan Sami Khan, how are you looking at your future?
28:28And how are you looking at the industry?
28:29I don't know what I'm going to eat at night.
28:30But, um, you're working on some scripts, you're working on some scripts.
28:37Um, yeah.
28:39There are some discussions going on.
28:41I don't do it like that, but there are some people who are...
28:46I'm going to get rid of something, something is different, something is different, something is different.
28:53I will tell you that when you come, you will review a lot of things.
28:56I will tell you that you will not be bored.
29:00There will be lots of hope, inshaAllah positive.
29:03I will tell you that there will be a lot of things.
29:04I am listening to a film too.
29:08Which episode is your show?
29:09Yes.
29:10Which episode is it?
29:11Which episode is it?
29:12Which episode is it?
29:13How many?
29:14I think 21st.
29:16So, what's up?
29:20But the news will be the most important thing.
29:22You will get the first deal.
29:24This is the deal.
29:24You will break it.
29:25You will come, right?
29:27You will come.
29:28Who will tell you?
29:29You and your co-star will come.
29:31Let me tell you the co-star.
29:33I will tell you this.
29:34This will be interesting.
29:35Let me reveal.
29:36Let me leave the challenge.
29:38That's it, that's it.
29:40But no, um, I'm curious.
29:43How are you watching the future of the industry?
29:45How are you watching the future of the drama?
29:46How are you watching the future of the film?
29:48How are you watching the future of the film?
29:49Again, I'm asking this because again, you're somebody who understands the business.
29:54I think it's very big.
29:55Future, I'm generally a very optimistic person.
29:59I think the future is very bright.
30:01I think, um, Pakistan is on the verge of a breakthrough globally.
30:07Okay.
30:07Yeah, yeah.
30:08Because when we go outside for award shows, we interact with foreign diaspora.
30:12You've also gone recently.
30:14My first interaction in an award show abroad was a very rude awakening.
30:18I was like, why are you watching the future of the film?
30:21I mean, that moment comes to me.
30:24I mean, we don't know how to shoot it.
30:27We don't know how to shoot it in the back end.
30:31You go and you're like, bro, this is a very serious work.
30:34So, I think, um.
30:35It seems like it's a few people watching, but a lot of people watching.
30:38It's a, you know, I think the deception is that we see a number on a screen.
30:4210 million.
30:43How many will it be?
30:4410 million, it's a lot of people.
30:46Right, you know, when you put a personality on a lot of people,
30:49there are a lot of people who have 10 million views.
30:51It's a lot of headcount.
30:53It's a lot of headcount.
30:53It's a lot of headcount.
30:53It's a lot of billion views.
30:55Now, mashallah, the drama has made 2-3 billion views.
30:57So, that's a lot of people watching your stuff.
31:00So, I think we,
31:01just say the time goes by,
31:04I think our, from a technical standpoint,
31:06technicians are becoming very good.
31:08Um, actors are our, mashallah, and artists are also very good.
31:12Uh, directors are great directors.
31:14I do think that the moment,
31:16for an interest, you know, it's already starting to come.
31:18Of course.
31:18It's coming a lot.
31:19So, I think it's very positive.
31:21As far as cinema is,
31:23I think cinema has shown a lot of promising potential.
31:29It has.
31:30It has.
31:30We can't deny that. We can say that it's few and far between.
31:32But it's not that if we calculate the ratio to cinema, to box office,
31:38so on 60-70 screens, the numbers we're pulling are unheard of in other territories.
31:43And now you're also coming to the cinema.
31:45It's a lot better.
31:46Yeah.
31:47You didn't tell me about your experience with Sajjal and Humayun,
31:49how did you experience your work with Sajjal?
31:52You did it with Sajjal.
31:53You did it with Sajjal.
31:54So, that was, it's always great with her.
31:56She's extremely focused,
31:59calm to calm, gives her 100% and also allows you to.
32:03You know, I remember our cake scene,
32:08a lot of movement, she told me,
32:10why don't you do it, why don't you do it?
32:11You know, she's always been a great supporter.
32:13Off screen, you're a good friend with Sajjal?
32:15It's reasonable.
32:16I mean, it's, you know, it's very respectful.
32:18And I think she, in some ways, understands what pressure is on me.
32:23You know, and so she makes it easy for me.
32:26So, this is the second time and I felt the same.
32:28You know, first time, I had never done anything.
32:31So, this time I was prepared a bit, comparatively.
32:34And she always makes you feel very,
32:36she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's,
32:39so obviously, MashaAllah, she's such a, not just a name, but
32:42uh, the caliber of her, of her art is so strong,
32:46that she didn't have to do it.
32:48So, she's very generous that way.
32:52And Humayi has been, um,
32:56uh, massive learning masterclass.
33:01In not just, it's a craft, but a lot as a human being.
33:05You know, like you said that you don't want to be a producer.
33:07I would want that if I become a producer,
33:08I can potentially be something like him.
33:10I, I, I, I saw that.
33:12Um, I don't think any of this could exist
33:16if he wasn't as generous as he was.
33:19Farhad, he doesn't get that positioning
33:21if he doesn't have such a big heart.
33:23Because we all know this,
33:25that for an actor to give space to another person,
33:28in his production,
33:30is his big power.
33:32So, I will always be grateful for that.
33:33That's true.
33:34Thank you so much, Azaan.
33:36It's been an absolute pleasure.
33:38Thank you, sir.
