00:22one of the most important things

00:23that we can share with each other

00:25my chanda mama, my sathya mama,

00:29So, let's talk about that.

00:32Hello, kajalji.

00:34Good to see you too.

00:35How are you?

00:36I am very good.

00:37So, if you look at me,

00:38there's a glow add.

00:39Oh, wow.

00:41Good.

00:42So, generally,

00:42there's a lot of lights in the world

00:44because I don't know.

00:46Too much.

00:47Now, it's full flattery.

00:49Especially, I don't know.

00:51I don't know the camera man.

00:52I don't know the camera man.

00:53I don't know the camera man.

00:54I don't know the camera man.

00:55Thank you, thank you, thank you.

00:59And yes, of course,

01:01many super-hit films,

01:02many biggest director's work schedule.

01:04Of course, glamour roles.

01:06And,

01:07I don't know the hero lead in cinema.

01:09But this film is something different.

01:11Definitely.

01:12You know, we always say like,

01:14job satisfaction and job satisfaction

01:16aren't we?

01:17rarely get these kind of opportunities.

01:20Absolutely.

01:21So, what do you say?

01:21No, what you're saying is absolutely right.

01:23There are so many films in cinema.

01:26In this cinema,

01:27the point is,

01:29this is something that everyone's going to resonate with.

01:32The story is about your family,

01:34your house, my house.

01:35It's literally India's story.

01:37True.

01:38And,

01:39Miru,

01:41just imagine,

01:42if,

01:43basically,

01:44your food,

01:45the one thing that's the most important thing to you,

01:47is going to be full of pesticides,

01:49and fertilizers,

01:50and chemicals,

01:51what's the point?

01:53What's the point of anything else?

01:55Right.

01:56And that's what we are feeding our families.

01:58That's what we are consuming.

01:59are consuming.

02:00You know,

02:01that's what leads to so many issues.

02:03Mm.

02:03And nowadays,

02:04so,

02:05the film basically is about a young girl's fight for cancer.

02:11Mm-hmm.

02:11And she's six and how she deals with cancer.

02:14And it's a very emotional story.

02:17And there were lots of facts that came in front of us when we were preparing for the story.

02:21Right.

02:22Um,

02:22a lot of research was done behind it.

02:24And when I,

02:25when I read the research,

02:27when I saw all these facts in front of me,

02:29when I saw the data and the analysis,

02:31I was shocked.

02:32Mm.

02:33I,

02:34I mean,

02:34you know,

02:34we usually hear of things like,

02:37oh,

02:38so-and-so.

02:39When we were young,

02:39we used to hear like,

02:40oh,

02:40so-and-so had cancer.

02:41But now,

02:42literally, cancer is in each and every home.

02:44The cause,

02:45like,

02:45because of this.

02:46Because of everything.

02:47of course,

02:47one of the primary reasons is this.

02:49Mm-hmm.

02:49But it's become so normal.

02:52Mm-hmm.

02:52You know,

02:53there's a cancer train

02:54that goes from Bhatinda,

02:56that's in Punjab,

02:57all the way to Rajasthan.

02:59Oh.

02:59And it's called the cancer train.

03:01Because 90% of the people who travel in that train have cancer.

03:04And they don't have proper facilities for treatment.

03:06So they're going to another town.

03:08And this entire train,

03:09it actually exists.

03:10And I had no idea.

03:11I mean,

03:11I'd never even heard about it.

03:13Who told you about this?

03:14Director?

03:14Yeah, yeah.

03:15We did our entire research on this.

03:17It's there on Google.

03:17It's a known fact.

03:18Okay.

03:18You can Google it.

03:19Oh.

03:20And there's one small town in Kerala,

03:22which basically,

03:24that there's like,

03:25so much pesticide that's sprinkled through air,

03:29through a helicopter,

03:30and the entire acres and acres of land are full of pesticides.

03:33And till date,

03:34the kids who are born in that place,

03:37are either born handicapped,

03:38or have some sort of issues when they are born.

03:42Hmm.

03:43So,

03:44it's like,

03:44how is this even normal?

03:46Right?

03:48So,

03:48this is what the film is about.

03:50Yeah.

03:51Manan is very normal.

03:51somewhere.

03:52Like,

03:52day-to-day life flow,

03:54like,

03:54social media flow,

03:55somewhere like,

03:56you know,

03:56okay,

03:57apples flow,

03:57injections,

03:58like,

03:58you know,

04:01You heard about the watermelon case?

04:02I know.

04:03I heard about it.

04:03I stopped eating watermelons after.

04:05I got so scared.

04:07Of course,

04:07it's not like,

04:08it's not funny,

04:10but it's really not.

04:11Yeah.

04:11It's very scary.

04:13And then even basics,

04:15right?

04:15Like,

04:15the way milk is made.

04:17So,

04:18these commercial packets of milk,

04:20actually,

04:20if you go to see,

04:21hardly have any milk,

04:22content of milk in it.

04:25But we are consuming it every day of our lives.

04:28And all of us.

04:29So,

04:30how is one to even know what is legitimate?

04:32what is okay to eat?

04:34What is not okay to eat?

04:35How is one to even understand these things?

04:39So,

04:40cinema is the biggest medium.

04:41We are hoping it creates awareness.

04:43Right.

04:44I mean,

04:44obviously,

04:45we are in no position to give solutions.

04:47But at least we can spread the word and create awareness.

04:50True.

04:50So that people can make their choices,

04:52you know,

04:53with full awareness,

04:54with proper data behind them.

04:56People can then choose to do what they want to do.

04:58But they should at least know.

05:00Right.

05:00So,

05:01when like,

05:01Chetan narrated you this script,

05:04like,

05:04the script narrated,

05:05when you just told me about the trine and all,

05:08you just told me about the trine and all.

05:09when you read it,

05:11when you read it.

05:13He came with a separate file full of facts.

05:16My lord.

05:16And paper clippings,

05:18and all the research that he did,

05:19and the documents that he read,

05:21and there were articles,

05:22and there was a lot of research.

05:25Okay.

05:26To back it.

05:26Because I was like,

05:27how are you speaking these numbers?

05:29What are these numbers?

05:31What do you mean?

05:31He was telling me a certain percentage that,

05:34of the country that is,

05:36now suffering from XYZ issues,

05:38and cancer,

05:39and stuff.

05:39And I was like,

05:39how do you know?

05:41Hmm.

05:42How can you be so confident of these numbers?

05:44Where did you get it from?

05:45So,

05:46he came with a full,

05:47proper file full of,

05:48all the research,

05:50that he presented to me.

05:51Did you ask like,

05:52how many years,

05:53it took for,

05:53Yeah.

05:54Like, Yikadwarku Ravadan.

05:55Definitely.

05:56He's taken about six years.

05:58Oh my god.

05:59Of preparation.

06:00And then he finally,

06:03made a script,

06:04and then he approached me,

06:06and initially I said no.

06:08Because I was like,

06:09this,

06:09he's a first time director,

06:10how can he be so ambitious?

06:12This is too ambitious a project.

06:14But then I realized,

06:16that it's so important to be,

06:17for the story to be told.

06:18True.

06:19It's our responsibility.

06:20It's our responsibility.

06:21Definitely.

06:22Truly.

06:22And as actors,

06:23even more.

06:24I mean,

06:25in a way you need to give back to society.

06:27Right.

06:28And,

06:28the best way to give back,

06:30is through your craft,

06:30through cinema.

06:31And choose films which are,

06:33you know,

06:34important.

06:35The stories,

06:36the messages are important.

06:38Right.

06:38So,

06:39yeah.

06:40So then of course,

06:41I was on board,

06:42and we shot.

06:43What,

06:43what moved you?

06:44Like,

06:45definitive research,

06:46there are a lot of real,

06:48cases mentioned.

06:49Like,

06:50which case,

06:51like,

06:51oh my god,

06:52seriously,

06:53in these days,

06:55I don't know what happened.

06:56So,

07:03there was a case,

07:05I don't remember all the details of the case,

07:07but,

07:07I read it,

07:07a long time ago.

07:09But,

07:09there was one case,

07:10where,

07:11one young girl,

07:12was in the hospital.

07:14And,

07:15she was suffering from cancer.

07:17Very young child.

07:18Five,

07:19six year old baby.

07:20Okay.

07:21And,

07:22it was literally her birthday.

07:23one day.

07:25And,

07:26she died,

07:26one day before her birthday.

07:29So,

07:30there were many cases like that.

07:32I mean,

07:32not just one case that I can,

07:34I just said it at the top of my mind,

07:35what came to my head.

07:36But,

07:37there were so many cases like that.

07:38Right.

07:39You know,

07:40there was another girl,

07:41who was,

07:42writing her exams.

07:44And,

07:44literally,

07:46in,

07:46she went,

07:47so the,

07:47so the examination was in the ICU,

07:49or in the hospital,

07:50that she had to do.

07:51And,

07:52she was a young,

07:53like a,

07:5312,

07:5413 year old girl.

07:55And,

07:56in the middle of her paper,

07:57she passed away.

07:59So,

07:59it's like,

08:01it's very heartbreaking,

08:02to actually listen to all this.

08:03Right.

08:04Accepting like,

08:05difficult to accept this kind of truth.

08:07Like,

08:08reality,

08:09and,

08:10I mean,

08:11even in Hyderabad,

08:13one case,

08:13like,

08:14they ordered one cake for a birthday,

08:16and,

08:16a cake,

08:18because of that,

08:20a papa,

08:21birthday.

08:22So,

08:22these kind of,

08:24when,

08:24but,

08:24but the thing is,

08:25in day-to-day life,

08:26we are also very busy,

08:28with other things.

08:29You know,

08:29our own life,

08:30we have to do it,

08:32but,

08:33these kind of films,

08:34like,

08:34definitely.

08:35And,

08:36we also forget.

08:38I know.

08:38As human beings,

08:39easily.

08:40live on so fast.

08:41True.

08:42Then,

08:43it becomes only your data analysis.

08:45We forget about the,

08:46humanity behind it.

08:48Right.

08:49You know?

08:50Right.

08:52and,

08:53of course,

08:53many social,

08:55awareness,

08:55these points,

08:56generally,

08:58people like,

08:59commercially,

09:00you know,

09:01ticket,

09:02two hours,

09:02Ibali Ante people,

09:04wants that commercial elements,

09:05also in that film.

09:06You know,

09:06very sad,

09:07of course.

09:08But the thing is,

09:09you have to say it like,

09:10even though,

09:11good point,

09:12message,

09:13whatever it is,

09:14but you have to say it in a way,

09:16in a commercial way.

09:17This is a,

09:18this is an entertainer,

09:19it's a commercial film.

09:21And,

09:21it's a full fledged,

09:22made for,

09:23the big screen.

09:25And,

09:26it's about a jawaan,

09:28who,

09:29deals with this problem.

09:31And,

09:31it's a legal drama,

09:32I play a lawyer.

09:33And,

09:33how I'm fighting his case.

09:35And,

09:36um,

09:37then eventually,

09:37what happens?

09:39Basically,

09:40how it's,

09:41him,

09:42versus the state.

09:43Okay, right.

09:44If the problem is,

09:45addressed in this film,

09:46we've seen,

09:47like,

09:48many courtroom dramas,

09:50especially,

09:51like,

09:52Malayalam films,

09:53many courtroom dramas.

09:54Now,

09:55what is like,

09:56difference between that,

09:57and this?

09:57I'm not asking about the issue.

09:58Issue is definitely different.

10:00But, apart from that,

10:01and what do you find?

10:04Uh,

10:04it's very realistic.

10:06Okay.

10:07And,

10:07um,

10:09I don't think,

10:10it's not the entire,

10:11100% of the film,

10:12is not really courtroom drama.

10:13It's gonna be about 30%.

10:15Okay.

10:1530 to 35% is courtroom drama,

10:18where basically,

10:18this is the background,

10:19where this,

10:20ongoing case is happening.

10:21But,

10:22it's the emotions behind it.

10:23It's the reality,

10:25the,

10:25uh,

10:26issue,

10:27the,

10:28bond,

10:28the little girl.

10:29It's very emotional.

10:32Right.

10:32And,

10:32it's a,

10:32story which is very hard hitting.

10:35And,

10:35because it's so close to people's lives,

10:37people are gonna relate to it a lot more.

10:39Hmm.

10:40So,

10:41uh, yeah.

10:42But,

10:42um,

10:43courtroom drama basically cannot,

10:45I mean,

10:45it,

10:45the format can't be very different.

10:47The format is pretty stable.

10:49Yeah.

10:50Definitely.

10:50Right?

10:50Like,

10:50it's basically just arguing and,

10:52correct.

10:53Um,

10:55so,

10:55this film is also on a similar sort of a format.

10:58Mm-hmm.

10:59And,

10:59uh,

11:00it's for me,

11:00it's my first time.

11:02I haven't done,

11:03before,

11:03before.

11:05Right.

11:06So,

11:07that experience.

11:08Generally,

11:09I mean,

11:09it's like,

11:10you know,

11:12when you're like,

11:13when you're like,

11:14in court,

11:14you know,

11:15so,

11:16how did it,

11:17you know?

11:18Nervous?

11:19Really?

11:20Okay.

11:21After doing,

11:21like,

11:21Indian films,

11:22you know,

11:23I felt nervous.

11:24Yeah.

11:26I'm happy,

11:27I felt nervous.

11:28It's important to be like this.

11:31But,

11:32I was actually nervous about it.

11:33Because,

11:34uh,

11:34the responsibility.

11:35True.

11:36Plus,

11:37um,

11:38it's,

11:39um,

11:40I've never done,

11:41so I don't really,

11:41I mean,

11:42I've seen a lot of courtroom drama,

11:43but to actually fight a case,

11:45and to be convincing,

11:46requires a lot of effort.

11:48Right.

11:49So,

11:50I had to,

11:50I was doing my dialogues in advance.

11:53I wanted to understand the meaning of each and everything,

11:55where I was prepared,

11:56very well prepared,

11:57before I went for the scene.

11:58Okay.

11:59So,

12:00did quite a lot of homework for it.

12:02Great.

12:03And,

12:03Shreyaz,

12:04I've had a lot of fun films for children.

12:07Whenever I see Shreyaz,

12:08okay,

12:08these films,

12:09these films,

12:09for him also,

12:11it's very new.

12:12Of course.

12:12Yeah.

12:13But also,

12:13Shreyaz,

12:14there's a lot of fun films for Shreyaz.

12:15And,

12:16me,

12:17director,

12:17when you ask about,

12:19you know,

12:19that role,

12:20who's doing that,

12:21Shreyaz,

12:22for you also,

12:23he's a very good actor.

12:27I know.

12:27And,

12:28he actually fit into the role very well.

12:30Hmm.

12:31He was so fluid,

12:33with his entire performance,

12:35with his professionalism,

12:36and his talent,

12:38that,

12:38it felt like the perfect fit.

12:41Hmm.

12:42Okay.

12:42So,

12:43work,

12:44that definitely,

12:46in the role,

12:48in the seriousness,

12:49in the role,

12:50but,

12:50there's a lot of fun films,

12:51there's a lot of fun films,

12:52there's a lot of jokes cracked,

12:53there's a lot of moods,

12:54fully, fully.

12:55Yeah, yeah.

12:56Of course.

12:57So, the working environment was light.

12:59Hmm.

13:00And,

13:00even though the topic is so heavy,

13:02still,

13:02while working,

13:03we tried to keep it light,

13:04because otherwise,

13:05it's too taxing,

13:06for anybody.

13:08There are nervous breakdowns,

13:09but otherwise.

13:09Right.

13:10But,

13:11while working,

13:12we had a nice time.

13:13We shot extensively,

13:14around Pune,

13:15we shot in Mumbai.

13:17Hmm.

13:17In the interiors of,

13:19Maharashtra,

13:20and Pune.

13:20Hmm.

13:21In Amritsar,

13:23then,

13:24Kerala,

13:25because we wanted to establish,

13:26those regions perfectly.

13:27Okay.

13:28So, those places,

13:29we've shot at.

13:30And,

13:31yeah,

13:32it was great working with Shreyas,

13:33it was great working with the whole team,

13:34actually.

13:35Yes.

13:36So, I wanted to ask one question,

13:37of course,

13:38because,

13:38it was a heavy film,

13:40or,

13:40emotionally,

13:41move,

13:41definitely,

13:44because,

13:45our research,

13:46our cases,

13:47we know,

13:47there are disturbance,

13:49actors.

13:50Of course,

13:50you are a castle,

13:51but when you are playing that role,

13:53definitely,

13:53it disturbs,

13:54you know,

13:55any switch-on,

13:56switch-off actor,

13:57it disturbs.

13:58Okay,

13:58you have India,

14:00or else,

14:01you have places,

14:02you have persons,

14:04you have people,

14:05you have people.

14:05Of course.

14:06you know,

14:07hurts inside.

14:07Hundred percent.

14:08So,

14:08for you,

14:09how much time,

14:10did you get out of this,

14:12like,

14:12bite gravede?

14:15I think it would take the whole day.

14:18Because,

14:18I mean,

14:19it is very disturbing,

14:20when you find out about things like this.

14:22Sometimes,

14:22I would think about it,

14:23go home and keep thinking about something.

14:25and,

14:26and,

14:27I think,

14:28I think,

14:28my emotions are,

14:29absolutely real in this.

14:31When I am crying,

14:32I have sobbed.

14:33When I have felt,

14:35I have felt grief,

14:35I have felt,

14:37emotional responsibility.

14:39It is also,

14:40the film also,

14:42is about my journey as a lawyer.

14:44Okay.

14:44So,

14:45how she basically,

14:46goes,

14:47from vulnerability,

14:48to strength.

14:50And,

14:50how she,

14:51eventually,

14:52obviously,

14:52deals with the whole case.

14:54But,

14:56that entire journey,

14:57for my character,

14:58was the highlight.

14:59And,

15:01seeing her client,

15:02and basically,

15:02representing all of this,

15:04also,

15:04she got,

15:04she gets very emotional.

15:06So, of course,

15:06that would keep running through my head,

15:08when I would go home.

15:10Right.

15:10Definitely, yeah.

15:11It's tough,

15:11to do films like this.

15:13I know.

15:14Two hours,

15:15in the theatre,

15:15the audience,

15:16definitely,

15:17the audience,

15:18the audience,

15:21seriously,

15:22this is happening.

15:24Why don't we,

15:25concentrate,

15:26the audience,

15:27especially,

15:28I saw one shot,

15:29in Deezer,

15:30Kajalji,

15:31like,

15:31Tappadwala.

15:33Like,

15:34when,

15:34narrated script,

15:36what was your,

15:37first reaction,

15:38like,

15:38when director narrated you,

15:40the script?

15:41I mean,

15:41it's not the best feeling,

15:42to get slapped.

15:44But,

15:44I know that.

15:46But,

15:46you have to do,

15:47what you have to do.

15:48It's important for the script,

15:50it was important for that particular role.

15:52And,

15:54she,

15:56so,

15:57it's a controversial thing,

15:58because,

15:59this character,

16:02accuses,

16:02our,

16:03and,

16:04and,

16:06if you are accusing,

16:08those who provide food for you,

16:10especially,

16:10in our country,

16:11even I wouldn't,

16:12I'm not okay with it.

16:13If this was some other actor doing it,

16:15I would have a problem with it as well.

16:17So,

16:17and,

16:18and my character does it.

16:20and,

16:20for that,

16:21she gets one slap.

16:23So,

16:23well.

16:24But,

16:25accepting that also,

16:26like,

16:26definitely,

16:27Kajal Agarwal,

16:28he's like a star heroine.

16:30So,

16:31generally,

16:32stars will think,

16:33no,

16:33before accepting that,

16:34but,

16:34you know,

16:35this should not,

16:36that should not,

16:37that should not happen.

16:38So,

16:39but,

16:39if you are accused,

16:41that,

16:42then,

16:42you will have to get it.

16:44And,

16:44you have to accept that.

16:46But,

16:46you accepted that.

16:47That's really,

16:48I appreciate for that.

16:49I feel as actors,

16:50we need to grow.

16:51And,

16:51get out of certain mentalities.

16:53You know.

16:54So,

16:55it was just something that I was,

16:57ready to do for the film.

16:59I mean,

16:59it's important.

17:00And also,

17:01every character arc needs to be justified.

17:04True.

17:05So,

17:05it felt incomplete if that did not happen.

17:07for my character.

17:09True.

17:10So,

17:10I completely agree with you.

17:11And,

17:11of course,

17:11you played many roles.

17:13You know,

17:13Chanda Mama's role,

17:15Magadira's role,

17:15Incola's role.

17:16So,

17:17there are many,

17:17many commercial films.

17:21But,

17:21when you are doing such kind of,

17:23Elanti roles,

17:24did you find the difference between role and role?

17:27So,

17:28was it easy for you?

17:30Or else,

17:32what do you think?

17:33Both are same for you?

17:34You know.

17:36So,

17:36the difference,

17:37I'll tell you what the difference is.

17:38The difference is,

17:40in me as a person.

17:41Okay.

17:41More than,

17:42the roles.

17:44Okay.

17:44I mean,

17:46at the end of the day,

17:47if you look at it,

17:48all actors go,

17:49and do their jobs,

17:50to the best of their abilities.

17:51Nine to five is when they are fully focused,

17:53and nothing else seems to matter.

17:55Of course,

17:55everyone feels like that.

17:57but the difference comes when you mature as a person.

18:00You've had life experiences.

18:02For my initial,

18:03early films,

18:04my life experiences were limited,

18:06right?

18:07I mean,

18:07I did not feel the whole gamut of,

18:09I did not feel what,

18:11I mean,

18:11of course,

18:11I had always heard,

18:12of what it felt like to love your husband.

18:15But now,

18:15after only getting married,

18:16will I experience it for myself?

18:18True.

18:18Only after having a child,

18:20will I know what that feeling of,

18:21maternal-ness is,

18:23right?

18:23Like,

18:23I'll only understand,

18:24what it feels like to be a mother.

18:26Otherwise,

18:27it's only imagination.

18:28True.

18:28So when you are,

18:30going through something,

18:31and feeling it,

18:31I feel it makes you a more,

18:34uh,

18:34rooted,

18:35and a real,

18:36experience,

18:37you're,

18:37you're doing it out of experience,

18:39so it makes you a better actor.

18:40Hmm.

18:41Versus imagining it.

18:42Right.

18:43Even though I mean that,

18:44there's a contrary argument to this,

18:45which,

18:46can always say that,

18:47oh,

18:47but as an actor,

18:48you're supposed to,

18:49do things that you're,

18:49you're not really in a life position.

18:52That's the whole point of acting.

18:53Acting can't do anything.

18:53Correct.

18:54Yeah.

18:54That's the whole point of acting.

18:55But I personally feel,

18:57I've become a better actor,

18:58with my life experiences.

19:00Because you actually understand,

19:01the depth of a feeling.

19:03Right.

19:04You know that total surrender,

19:05that you feel for your child,

19:07or that,

19:07uh,

19:08unconditional love.

19:09Hmm.

19:09We can only hear of it,

19:11or,

19:11think of how much our mothers love us.

19:13True.

19:14But,

19:14only after you have your own,

19:15will you understand,

19:16what it actually feels like to,

19:17from your heart to feel it.

19:19Right.

19:20So,

19:20uh,

19:21for me,

19:21I feel that's the difference.

19:23And,

19:24um,

19:24of course the roles are different,

19:26working in,

19:26in every environment is different.

19:28but,

19:29at the end of the day,

19:30when experience comes into the picture,

19:32it changes the game.

19:34True.

19:35Yeah,

19:35there is like,

19:36uh,

19:36I heard in one interview,

19:38some,

19:38other actresses,

19:39address one thing,

19:40like,

19:41before it used to like,

19:42a race.

19:43Now,

19:44there is no race.

19:45Yeah.

19:46So,

19:47you need to understand that point.

19:49No race,

19:50nothing.

19:51Now you're doing it for yourself.

19:52Yes.

19:52For the love of your craft.

19:53True.

19:54Nothing else matters.

19:55There's no point to prove.

19:57Yeah.

19:58Right.

19:58And,

20:00newcomer to,

20:00new director to work just now.

20:01Definitely.

20:02Hard work,

20:03homework,

20:04all the like,

20:05one is okay.

20:06At the same time,

20:06but new director is new director.

20:07For him also new.

20:08Like,

20:09how to capture the scene,

20:10or how to unlock the things.

20:12You know,

20:13right time,

20:13right emotion,

20:14to capture.

20:15for sure.

20:15So,

20:16for him,

20:17like,

20:17Chetan Gurinder,

20:18I think,

20:20Chetan had a lot of clarity.

20:22And,

20:22even though,

20:23this is his debut film,

20:25and,

20:25especially dealing,

20:26and tackling with a subject like this,

20:28is not easy for sure.

20:29True.

20:30Especially for,

20:31the captain of the ship.

20:32So,

20:34I'm very proud of him,

20:35that he's actually stuck to his,

20:37conviction.

20:38I tried to dissuade him a lot.

20:40I was like,

20:40why aren't you choosing an easier subject for your debut?

20:43True.

20:43Why would you do this?

20:45Why would anybody go ahead,

20:46and choose the toughest thing to make?

20:48Especially giving 60 years.

20:51He's spent his entire life,

20:52trying to only work on this.

20:54And,

20:54I'm so happy that,

20:55actually,

20:56there are people who exist like this.

20:58Who don't take the easy way out.

21:00Who want to prove themselves,

21:02in their debut film,

21:03for a,

21:04very difficult subject.

21:07And,

21:07he convinced me,

21:08and I'm so grateful,

21:09that he actually waited for me to agree.

21:12That's amazing.

21:13That's amazing.

21:14That's amazing.

21:15That's amazing.

21:17Very true.

21:18So,

21:18apart from you and Shriyaas,

21:19like,

21:20there are these characters,

21:21they are surprised,

21:23or else like,

21:24of course,

21:24one kid,

21:25a father,

21:26a cancer kid,

21:27apart from her,

21:29like,

21:29there are these characters.

21:30that was a naive Chitran law.

21:32So,

21:32there was,

21:33Moodlee Sharmaji,

21:34there was,

21:35Manish Vadwa,

21:36one very sweet,

21:37young girl,

21:38named Trisha,

21:38who is one of the main leads,

21:40in the film.

21:41And,

21:41she plays the six-year-old,

21:42that we're talking about.

21:43She's also there,

21:44in the poster.

21:44Right.

21:45bonding,

21:47Kajalji.

21:48Beautifully.

21:48While working with her,

21:49especially,

21:50you know,

21:50she was amazing.

21:52She's born to be an actor.

21:54Yeah.

21:55She just got it so effortlessly.

21:56And,

21:57yeah,

21:58the bonding was great.

21:59Great.

22:00So,

22:01music,

22:01emotion,

22:03to connect with people.

22:05What are you saying?

22:07to connect with that message,

22:10so,

22:10music plays main role.

22:12So,

22:12about the music director.

22:14So,

22:14Mangesh Dhakde did this film,

22:16and,

22:17this is a Maharashtran story,

22:20a Maharashtran family story.

22:22So,

22:22the music is also,

22:24gravitating towards that.

22:25Of course,

22:26it's commercial,

22:27and all of that,

22:27keeping the commercial elements in mind.

22:29But,

22:29of course,

22:30during emotional scenes,

22:31it has to peak.

22:32And,

22:33that's when it has to come out a lot more.

22:34And,

22:35I think,

22:35Mangesh has done a very good job.

22:36Right.

22:37Now,

22:37the Maharashtran story,

22:39the general story,

22:43you know,

22:45Chetan,

22:45Chochinda.

22:46Actually,

22:47Nizanga,

22:48So,

22:48same story.

22:51The setting was different.

22:52The setting was fictional.

22:53but,

22:54six-year-old kid's story,

22:56Nizam.

22:57Nizam.

22:58Oh.

23:01Director Garu's friend's daughter,

23:05this happened to.

23:06And,

23:07he was inspired by that story,

23:08and,

23:09of course,

23:09he was extremely heartbroken.

23:11That's when he decided to actually,

23:12find out,

23:13do research,

23:14and make a film like this.

23:15Oh.

23:15So,

23:16he's coming from personal experience.

23:18So,

23:18it's,

23:18it's a true story.

23:20Oh my god.

23:22Generally.

23:23But,

23:23one of the thousands.

23:25Right.

23:26And,

23:26after,

23:27this film,

23:28I don't know if I had fruits,

23:31I don't know if I had fruits,

23:32I don't know if I had fruits,

23:32I don't know if I had fruits.

23:34So,

23:35it took a time,

23:35it took some time.

23:36And,

23:37I still,

23:37till date,

23:37have stopped doing a lot of stuff.

23:39Like,

23:39I don't eat paneer from outside.

23:41Okay.

23:42I,

23:42I just feel like it's analog.

23:44And,

23:44I don't even know the,

23:45whether it's real paneer,

23:46or it's plastic that we are consuming.

23:47I,

23:48have stopped dairy in my house.

23:50Hmm.

23:50So,

23:50I don't allow my son to drink milk.

23:52Hmm.

23:53And,

23:53some people think that,

23:54what a cruel mother.

23:56Because,

23:56we've all grown up drinking milk.

23:57But,

23:58you know what I mean?

23:59It's like,

24:00I,

24:00we make dairy products,

24:02like we do dahi and paneer at home,

24:03homemade.

24:04But,

24:05I don't let him drink milk.

24:06Right.

24:07So,

24:09there have been changes in my life,

24:11that I've adapted,

24:11after this film.

24:12Okay.

24:13Which have been massive,

24:14like a lot of things,

24:15that have opened my eyes,

24:17and they've been shocking,

24:18and all of that.

24:19And,

24:19after that,

24:21slowly,

24:21steadily,

24:21tried,

24:23to keep it as safe,

24:24my environment.

24:24See,

24:25there's no way to get a full,

24:26100% proof,

24:28full proof guarantee,

24:29that this is correct,

24:30and this is wrong.

24:31If,

24:31if we knew,

24:32we would all be doing the right thing.

24:35I feel,

24:35awareness,

24:36only helps you to,

24:37minimize your risk.

24:39Hmm.

24:40And,

24:40that little,

24:40minimization is also worth it.

24:43I agree with you.

24:44And,

24:44this film,

24:45has changed,

24:46this film,

24:46has changed,

24:47and,

24:47this film,

24:48has changed,

24:50and,

24:50the audience,

24:52has changed,

24:54what do you think?

24:55So,

24:55you know,

24:56definitely,

24:59you will cry.

25:00Okay.

25:00hundred percent.

25:02Because,

25:02it's extremely emotional.

25:04That will be your first reaction.

25:05Okay.

25:05But,

25:06and of course,

25:06it will be an eye-opener,

25:07and you probably won't sleep that night.

25:09But,

25:09no,

25:10I'm not trying to scare you guys,

25:11please go watch the film.

25:13But,

25:14what I'm saying is,

25:15that,

25:17no,

25:17so we,

25:17we all hear of these things,

25:19we all know about these things,

25:21we've heard it,

25:21that okay,

25:22this is not good,

25:22this is adulterated,

25:24packaged foods,

25:25et cetera, et cetera.

25:27But,

25:29only when you are actually living a certain life,

25:32do you actually realize the depth of it.

25:34Right.

25:34So,

25:35I feel that,

25:35that's the reason why,

25:36after this movie,

25:37I made a lot of changes,

25:38in my groceries,

25:39and my ration,

25:40and,

25:41where is my produce coming from.

25:43I went deeper into it,

25:44rather than just ordering,

25:46on the phone.

25:46That's right,

25:47it's very easy,

25:48so,

25:48the presentation is very important,

25:51that's it.

25:52Local ingredients,

25:53the worst is the 5 minute delivery apps.

25:55I'm not,

25:56against the app.

25:57I just feel like,

25:58we don't know where the produce is coming from.

26:00That's right.

26:01True, true.

26:01Completely agree with you.

26:02And,

26:03in the film,

26:04I don't have a point,

26:05raise chest,

26:06I don't have a point,

26:07I don't have a stand,

26:08I don't have a point,

26:09I don't have a negativity.

26:11It's like,

26:13in the teaser.

26:14Even though,

26:15I don't have a film,

26:17I don't have a film,

26:18I don't have a film,

26:19I don't have a film,

26:20I don't have a bite,

26:21you know,

26:23few people link,

26:24I don't have a film,

26:25I hope people understand,

26:26I hope everyone understands that,

26:28first of all,

26:28it's the character doing it,

26:30secondly,

26:31it's a film,

26:31and third,

26:33we are only presenting a point of view.

26:35Right.

26:36So,

26:36there's nothing against anybody.

26:38True.

26:38And,

26:39it's not coming from a place of,

26:41dislike,

26:42or,

26:42you know,

26:43keeping some sort of thing in our hearts,

26:45no,

26:45that's not the reason why we even,

26:47that's not the reason why anybody makes a film.

26:49True.

26:50So,

26:50it's just an awareness on the,

26:52it's just an awareness on the,

26:54but,

26:55you guys wanted to,

26:57tell the story,

26:58and,

26:58nobody's blaming anybody.

27:00Right.

27:00Even in the film,

27:01you'll realize that,

27:02nobody's blaming the farmers.

27:04Poor thing,

27:05even farmers are in such a difficult situation,

27:07right?

27:08Like,

27:08there's so many farmer suicides,

27:09and,

27:09there's so much going on against the farmers,

27:11they don't have proper subsidies.

27:12I really wish that,

27:14the entire system would support.

27:16Right.

27:16And if they have this much acre of land,

27:18and,

27:18and we expect them to be organic,

27:20how is it possible?

27:21There are so many mouths to feed,

27:23look at the population of our country.

27:25So,

27:25it's just a vicious cycle,

27:26that everyone is stuck in.

27:28The farmer,

27:29you,

27:29me,

27:29all of us.

27:30It's very difficult to change all these things,

27:32I know,

27:33everybody understand that,

27:34but,

27:35awareness is important.

27:36Of course,

27:36and that's,

27:37that's the reason why,

27:38again,

27:38I'm saying this,

27:39that there's nothing against them,

27:41that was just a scene in the film.

27:43Right.

27:44Got it.

27:44But,

27:44yeah,

27:45full sympathy,

27:47and,

27:47you know,

27:47heart goes out to the farmers.

27:49I know.

27:50In this film,

27:50there's a lot of fun,

27:53and other emotions,

27:55and we're doing it.

27:56We're doing a lot of serious work in the interview.

27:58We're doing a lot of serious work in the interview.

27:58We're doing a lot of the fans,

27:59and we're thinking,

27:59you know,

28:00you're a lot of 90 people,

28:01you're not 90 people.

28:03You know,

28:04there's a lot of missed out in the interview.

28:07Especially,

28:07I wanted to mention one.

28:08That's why we're both getting serious right now.

28:10I know.

28:10That's why we're both getting serious right now.

28:12Yeah.

28:12Next,

28:13Gopi Shankar is full,

28:15full fun.

28:28In the rain,

28:29I was doing a photo shoot in the rain.

28:32In the social media.

28:34The photo shoot was not in the rain.

28:36I was walking out of my vanity van.

28:39We loved that.

28:40And it was raining,

28:40so I was with the umbrella,

28:42walking towards the banquet.

28:43You used that umbrella like a prop.

28:46immediately.

28:47If you had a photo shoot,

28:48without the umbrella,

28:49you'd have to uncoat it.

28:50So,
