00:00First of all, welcome to INS.
00:03First of all, you will know that you have seen the Super Barcha.
00:06You have seen the Barcha after your first film.
00:10What do you say about the TV shows?
00:13What do you say about it?
00:16I was a Super Barcha for five years.
00:22I was in brain stroke.
00:24And now I am coming to Super Barcha.
00:27Meow Entertainment.
00:29And Cuckoo TV.

01:25You know we are saying that what is the meaning of the barcha?
01:28The barcha which protects our praja.
01:31We are not our praja, our audience.
01:35Our family becomes our family.
01:37The praja becomes a family.
01:38Audience is our family.

05:01and your
05:16skills
05:17Some people will say that they are doing a lot of good work and some people will not say that.
05:22In that regard, you have to take all of them and take all of them.
05:31Rahul Ji, your comeback is in this show.
05:34How difficult it is after the industry to come back?
05:40I will not say anything about the camera.
05:42I will not say anything about the space because I have already done it.
05:47But this is a speech therapy.
05:50It was very difficult for me.
05:53But Karanveer has tried to do a good job with me.
05:58And I will take all the time about the craft,
06:11I will do much more.
06:13And the rest of the craft, I am doing all the time.
06:20Because I have done 65 films.
06:23And now I am doing something more.
06:25So I will do that much more, yeah.
06:27Sir, you have seen a long journey in the industry.
06:30So do you think that you have to decide more visibility, social media presence and PR?
06:37No, it will not happen.
06:41Whatever you do, you have to do in your work.
06:47You have to do in your work.
07:01But you say that, just like it happens.
07:04PR is also an AI.
07:07You can use AI as an assist.
07:10AI cannot take over.
07:11Similarly, PR cannot take over.
07:14You have to do that.
07:16Your job, your honor, your ability is the most important.
07:20You know okay, you have to be a viral reel by making a real thing or by saying things,
07:26but it won't come from you.
07:28They say that, two minutes of fame.
07:31This is the type of thing.
07:33But you have to do not have to do two minutes of fame.
07:34You have to do a lifetime.
07:36And I have seen that I have done 37 years and I am also trying to do something at the
07:45moment.
07:46So, I am also trying to do something at the moment.
07:52Sir, an interesting comparison.
07:59In your time, there were years to establish actors.
08:01It seemed to be years ago.
08:03When it was viral, it was quite a clip.
08:05Is it an evolution of opportunity?
08:07Or dilute the standards of industry?
08:10It is a reason for dilute the industry.
08:14But I have done 37 years.
08:18And I also want to do that.
08:21And it is not dilute.
08:24You are doing what you are doing at the moment.
08:27It is a moment after a few days.
08:30But now, I am doing everything which is right for me.
08:34And as it happens,
08:36Karanveer or Bora,
08:38or anyone else.
08:39I wanted to do straight, simple work.
08:46And as it happens, I am thanking all you guys.
08:51I want to say that it is, it is not easy.
08:58Okay?
09:00Because, what was the first time?
09:02Because, you know, my father is also a film producer.
09:07My dad is also a film producer.
09:08So, it was so easy.
09:10So, it was so easy to screen a magazine.
09:13You give a photo to him.
09:16So, this is the introduction.
09:19And this is the industry.
09:22I mean, he is a new person.
09:25And a lot of people see that.
09:26I don't know.
09:27I don't know.
09:27Film information, screen.
09:30Or, sometimes, you had to go to Stardust, Film Fair.
09:35If you have featured there,
09:36everybody would know.
09:37Because everybody would buy that monthly magazine.
09:40You know?
09:42So, before, it was, I would say,
09:45it was easier actually.
09:46In a sense.
09:46Because everybody would watch.
09:47Now, there are many platforms.
09:50There are many things.
09:50Who, who, who, who are watching.
09:51I don't know.
09:54Sir, Super Apache,
09:56the title comes naturally naturally.
09:59So, what do you think
10:00that in Indian storytelling
10:01powerful male characters
10:03glorify the power of male characters?
10:07Of course, strong.
10:08They glorify the industry.
10:10Because it is a male dominated industry.
10:12But it doesn't mean that
10:13we don't give a lot of attention to the female.
10:15In fact,
10:16my partner Madhvi, Madhvi Bojwani,
10:19she is a writer.
10:20She loves writing for,
10:22like, a woman oriented.
10:25Because women have so many stories to tell.
10:29But I always force her to not.
10:31You can see me too.
10:32You can also see me too.
10:33You can also see me too.
10:34But...
10:34You have to see me too.
10:36You have to see me too.
10:38You have to see me too.
10:38That's okay.
10:39But...
10:39Let me know.
10:40So, it is, the evolution
10:42is happening.
10:42Change is happening.
10:43It is, it is going towards
10:46women centric films,
10:47women centric.
10:48What you watch on TV
10:49or on micro drama.
10:50a lot of women specific projects are coming up.
10:56So,
10:56Rauju,
10:57you know that after
10:58Aashiki,
10:59you have done many films.
11:01Yes.
11:01And many films have been super
11:02lupa hits of their songs.
11:04Yes.
11:05So,
11:05do you have to revisit the era
11:09or remember the era?
11:11So,
11:11I do all the time.
11:14I am always trying to do
11:16I am always trying to say
11:17aware that all things
11:19I have to say.
11:21But,
11:23I am always trying to do
11:25what I want to do.
11:26I am always trying to do
11:28I am always trying to do
11:28And I am always trying to do
11:30There is a little bit
11:33but definitely I am definitely trying to do
11:35at the moment.
11:36Okay.
11:37Sir,
11:42Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Mahesh Bhatt ji, Vikram Bhatt and some people who are more there, web series
11:53agar ho jata hai, movies ho jata hai, then I'll do that. And some more people which are there,
11:59hopefully they are coming. So next month agar ho jata hai, then I'll let you know.
12:08Our audience is great characters, but when you do that character problematic behavior,
12:13then there are debates too. So to portray a flawed character or to glorify their actions,
12:20how do you maintain the difference between both of them?
12:24In entertainment, whether there are films, tv, web,
12:31glorify ho jata hai. And they don't do glorification for it.
12:36They don't do it. See, flawed characters,
12:39we all have. What happened before? That there was a villain.
12:44We all have a villain. We all have a hero.
12:47So the flawed characters that people enjoy playing them,
12:55you know, the producers and directors love portraying these kind of characters,
12:58is because they are saying that if they are negative or villainous or toxic,
13:07then how will it stay? And that's why people like it.
13:10Because sometimes the trend is such that negativity works more,
13:15that attracts more.
13:26So the negativity attracts people.
13:32And we've said from childhood that these things are like,
13:37don't do it, don't do it. It's not good. It's negative.
13:40Don't feel jealous. It's negative.
13:42Don't do it. Don't behave toxic. It's negative.
13:45So these things attract people and somehow they just get glorified.
13:50What would you like to ask me if I was a director and producer,
13:54how do you listen to this?
13:56Do you want to become a director, producer and act?
13:59So how difficult is it for you?
14:01So I'm doing television in the past 25 years.
14:08And television is a medium where directors keep talking.
14:12You have to keep the actor's character in the past 1,5 years.
14:17It's not like a movie.
14:19Because in the TV, one or 2 years, a character will be played.
14:22So a new director comes from his perspective.
14:25But you don't want to leave your character.
14:27So that was me, doing it, doing it, doing it, doing it, doing it, doing it, doing it.
14:33So there was an understanding of the direction.
14:35Of course, coming from a film background, I have assisted my father.
14:40I have assisted BP Singh, who are producing Ahad CID as an assistant director.
14:45So the direction was a shock and a lot of the direction.
14:49When the wave came micro drama, actually, during COVID,
14:55we also directed for a series of Z-Fi series.
14:58Then we got confidence that we can do it.
15:00And when I met my partner, Madhavi, his creative mind is very great.
15:07My one and the other one, the other one.
15:10And we direct both together.
15:12Because I believe sometimes it takes an Abbas Mastan to make a race.
15:19You know?
15:20So even for this, we compliment each other.
15:23And I realized that she compliments my skills and I compliment her skills.
15:29And it becomes a very great product.
15:32You know, I'm sure he can vouch for that.
15:35Yes, yes.
15:36Madhavi and Karanveer are doing a lot of good work.
15:40And I have done everything for me and done everything for me.
15:46And I am thanking all you guys. Thank you.
15:48Sir, in the industry there is a perception that senior actors and younger actors in comparison
15:54there are opportunities in comparison.
15:56So what do you think that the ageism, Bollywood and television are both uncomfortable reality?
16:05Mujhe, sach bata hon, min, bilkul ni, yasa nahi hai.
16:10And I honestly love, I love to grow.
16:13You know, I love to mature.
16:15I want to mature, I want to play mature roles.
16:20I want to have, you know, different characters of roles.
16:24And I think a youngster will do that.
16:28He will do college roles or romance.
16:34But a mature person, whether older or a little bit of a range,
16:42is a lot of range in the work.
16:43You see, everybody is busy.
16:47You know, Rahul Ji who chooses that I will do so much, he is busy.
16:54People who are choosing also are busy, people who are not choosing also they are busy.
16:57You know, Rahul Ji, how do you feel?
16:59It was very good.
17:00They said what I want to do, I also want to do that.
17:04And characters and all the things that I have done,
17:08after that, I have done a super role.
17:11And after that, I am also trying to do some other things at the moment.
17:15And Karanveer and Madhvi are doing that, so I will do that with them also.
17:20You know, we had, we had Instagram, that's how I got in touch with him.
17:26And he said, I had a message on my DM that we would love to work with you.
17:31Like we got this opportunity through that there was a show called Super Batshaa.
17:36Madhvi and me, we thought, listen, he looks so good because they are full Keanu Reeves type look.
17:45I said, it will be so amazing to cast him and that's how this whole process of Super Batshaa came
17:50into being and Rahul and me were like the Batshaas and Super Batshaas.
17:56Sir, I often say that in your career, there are different phases of your career.
18:01So, are you going to choose this project today because it is commercially viable?
18:06Or is it the first priority of content and character?
18:13Super Batshaa is about content.
18:16That is the second priority of content and what the people who are doing is working with Karanveer and Madhvi,
18:21so they have worked very well.
18:24So, I have said to them that if they are doing it, then the Super Batshaa will try to do
18:31it.
18:31And do that.
18:34So, I didn't know how to do it.
18:41because
18:42some other people
18:43are coming
18:43many people are coming
18:45but
18:46the super
18:47people who
18:47have worked
18:49they don't want
18:51to do anything
18:51they don't want
18:52to do anything
18:52and I did not know
18:54that
