मुंबई, महाराष्ट्र: टीवी इंडस्ट्री में करीब दो दशक बिताने के बाद एक्टर, क्रिएटिव डायरेक्टर और प्रोड्यूसर संदीप सिकंद ने अपनी शॉर्ट फिल्म ‘ऑमलेट’ के जरिए डायरेक्शन की दुनिया में कदम रखा है। इसे लेकर उन्होंने IANS से खास बातचीत की, जहां पर उन्होंने फिल्म की कहानी, इसके शीर्षक के पीछे छिपे विचार और टीवी इंडस्ट्री में बदलते कंटेंट पर खुलकर बात की। उन्होंने कहा कि ‘ऑमलेट’ एक रिश्ते पर आधारित परिपक्व और थोड़ी अलग कहानी है, जिसे टेलीविजन के पारंपरिक फॉर्मेट में बताना संभव नहीं था।

00:00Sandeep sir, first of all welcome to INS.
00:02Thank you, thank you so much.
00:04And sir, first of all, you should know that
00:06Omelette, through our television,
00:09we chose a short film format from the family space.
00:11So, what did you think that
00:14you should say in a conventional long format
00:17in a short film format?
00:20Look, I want to make films a lot of times.
00:25I think that in this line,
00:27if there is any actor or director,
00:30the main aim of the film is to make a film.
00:33So, in my mind, there was a lot of time
00:35that I would do the direction,
00:36because I've been 22 or 23 years old,
00:40I'm a creative director,
00:41I'm a producer.
00:42But I had to take a next step.
00:44But I didn't get an opportunity,
00:46or if I say truth,
00:47I was afraid that I could do it or not.
00:50So, this story is my own story.
00:52I've written it myself.
00:53I've written it 6-7 years ago.
00:55And I always thought,
00:56I'll make it, I'll make it.
00:58Because what's happening?
00:59Television,
01:00there's a problem
01:01that shows aren't going on.
01:03It's a very bad thing.
01:04Because our TV medium
01:06has been in one corner.
01:08It's like a story.
01:09It's like a story.
01:10So,
01:12you need to make money.
01:14You need to make money.
01:14You need to make money.
01:15You need to make a story.
01:19You need to make a story.
01:25And Omelette is a mature story.
01:28Omelette is a relationship story.
01:29It's a complex story.
01:30It's a complex story.
01:30It's a bit unconventional.
01:32And I think,
01:33that television is not being unconventional.
01:36I think that it is not being unconventional.
01:38And I think that audiences and all the people
01:39who consume entertainment,
01:42have to watch new and unconventional stories.
01:45But television has stopped.
01:47Television doesn't have to be plunged.
02:00It's a short film of about 30 minutes and I have shown touchwood a lot of friends and they liked
02:07it so feedback has been good
02:09So finally the Omelette is ready
02:12The Omelette title is very simple and intriguing
02:15So what is the title of the Omelette title?
02:22The title is simple
02:24It's a thing that we eat in a day
02:27Although many people eat in a day
02:29But for a perfect Omelette
02:33First of all, you have to break the eggs
02:35Tomatoes, cut the potatoes
02:37Cut the potatoes
02:38Cut the potatoes
02:40Cut the potatoes
02:41Cut the potatoes
02:41Cut the potatoes
03:14From the time of decision
03:15and you have only priority on the side of the side
03:17yes, I have only priority for storytelling
03:24I have only priority for the viewers
03:27because I am very sure that audiences like to see something different
03:31not run of the mill
03:32so I have only thought about TRP, commercial viability
03:36what will happen, what will happen, what will happen, what will happen
03:39I have never thought about anything
03:41I have made a story from my heart
03:44and what I want to tell the story
03:46as I explained earlier
03:49omelette seems simple but it is not so simple
03:51so this story is not so simple
03:54there are many twists and turns
03:55and I think it makes for very good film
03:58sir, especially when films go to international film festivals
04:02especially when it is released in India
04:05there is no response to it
04:06and we have seen it in Hali
04:08when Homebound was released in Oscars
04:11but here in India
04:12there is no response to it
04:13because in festivals
04:14there is a great production of Kamal
04:16and people like it
04:17so what do you think about Indian films
04:19what do you think about Indian audiences
04:21that do not like them?
04:22I think that the audience's excitement and drama factor
04:31always should be on the way
04:32always should be on the way
04:32because I think the audience's worldwide
04:35you can see any film
04:36like Odyssey
04:37which is Hollywood's most popular hit film
04:42so there is also a lot of drama quotient
04:45I always think that in short films or in festival films, there is a drama quotient in storytelling.
04:54I also think that there is a drama in Omelette.
04:59But the drama is a very different kind of drama. It is an emotional character driven drama.
05:07So I think that it is a drama, it is an edge of the seat.
05:12Because at every level, you can see that in Omelette there is something happening.
05:16I think that that aspect, that excitement, that will be the different thing.
05:22And I think that is what audiences will definitely like.
05:25Because storytelling with a dramatic twist is something that I think all audiences like.
05:30So after Omelette, what short films or independent cinema do you want to be a parallel creative journey?
05:38Or do you want to watch it on-off experiment?
05:40I have already thought about another short film.
05:44But for me, these short films are a stepping stone to going into bigger things.
05:49Making feature films.
05:51And I am very interested in regional features.
05:54Already my script is ready.
05:55So we are planning it to mount it.
05:59Because I think that at this time, regional films are very big.
06:03And storytelling is very good.
06:04So I would like to start off with a regional full-fledged film.
06:07And then move on to Hindi.
06:09Hindi television shows has enormous audience.
06:15And also the regional industry shows and films are more fresh.
06:20And also the theme is more than one of the popular films.
06:23And what is the most important part of Hindi TV exploiting.
06:27So why do you think that Hindi TV is a big part of a story?
06:28And what is the most important part of Hindi TV experience?
06:28What is the most important part of Hindi TV experience?
06:29I don't know that.
06:30Because it is a shame to be very honest.
06:32That Hindi TV, which is apparently the mother-of-all storytelling.
06:37The most important part of the show and stories are inspired from West.
06:42or we are making a original remake, we are not making original shows, which I think is extremely shameful, which
06:49is extremely disheartening also
06:52but now this system has become a system, because I think the people who are making these shows or approving
06:58these shows
06:59or who are making their thoughts or who are not giving them creativity, but this is a very big problem
07:06because I think that TV is a far reaching medium
07:10I mean, many people watch TV, many people have made a career, I am one of them and I feel
07:18really bad that what was happening today is not a TV
07:22so I am just hoping and praying that this will be a change, I really want that this will be
07:27a change so that people also look up to Hindi shows and say wow this is such a good show
07:33but the point is that it is not happening, because our Hindi shows' story telling is that we are talking
07:38about 1960s and 1970s stories
07:40we are talking about today's story, today's girl, today's story, today's story, today's story, today's story, today's story, we are
07:46not going to go
07:58but the point is that if you want to respond to the story, what will you say in a sentence,
08:01what will you say in a sentence?
08:03Do you agree with your criticism or what will you say in a statement or what will you say in
08:06a statement?
08:06I definitely don't agree with his words but I think what he was trying to say was that
08:12because today the similar shows are made, they are not up to the mark, which I completely agree with them
08:18I don't agree with their words, but the point is that if they have put this medium on dustbin, we
08:26will bring this medium to very low level
08:30meaning the similar shows, the similar shows, the characters are made, we have made it
08:38So I think again the word is completely wrong but yes
08:42Where Hindi TV is the question of the people who are sitting in a large audience, in a large audience,
08:48in a large audience
08:48They need to realize that the storytelling of the television is falling down
08:55And before that it is falling down so much so that the name of the name of the audience
08:59They need to do something for storytelling
09:01This is the dependence on regional shows
09:04They need to be closed, they need to be closed, every show, every day the original shows will be remakes
09:10They need to come to original storytelling
09:14So please come down to original storytelling because that is the main backbone of any industry
09:20So some television actors have strongly responded to Rohit's statement and Shabra has defended TV actors' professionalism and discipline
09:55So what do you think about the industry of the television actors' industry
09:57Also what you said about TV actors' working hours and working hours
10:02I completely agree
10:03I think that in our TV there are so much better actors, so good technicians, so good story writers
10:19I think that, I think that for us, that we think that our TV actors can be more than one
10:25of the others
10:28can write and they don't have chance because they are from tv which i think is completely wrong
10:33because i think talent you can't segregate talent you can't segregate it's tv talent
10:37it's ott talent it's film talent talent has to be segregated we should not segregate talent like that
10:46and i think that whatever tv actors have opposed rohent's statement they definitely have reason to
10:53say it because obviously tv has made us all but again i'm saying rohent's words can be wrong
11:00but what i'm trying to say is that what i'm trying to say is that what i'm trying to say
11:03is that what the content is being made on tv is that i'm not very happy with the kind of
11:10content
11:10that is being made on tv and we have to bring the tv back to our pride and that will
11:17be our
11:17and that will be all the time that everyone can write. Sir, we see that people are watching
11:21in our family's and in our families, usually people are watching a lot of movies about the
11:26drama that they're watching. So what does it do with their stories? Sir, they're stories are real
11:31i've seen that I've seen the stories without the interesting news, my mom and my parents are watching
11:35their stories, their treatment, their stories, their stories, their stories are very real
11:40today you see the situations of TV shows
11:44very unrealistic situations
11:46we do everything to give a visual
11:47we do everything to large and large life
11:50that is not happening in real life
11:52programs and shows
11:55movies
11:56OTT have to be a reflection
11:59of the world
12:00we actually live in
12:02it cannot be a reflection
12:04of a make-believe world
12:05and TV
12:07at one time it was going
12:08it will not work
12:11OTT, Instagram, Reels
12:14and short format
12:15after the audience
12:16there are many other things
12:19to be entertained
12:20and TV should be leading it
12:24but sadly TV is not leading
12:26TV is somewhere right at the bottom
12:27right now
12:28we just look at what we see
12:31on television
12:31I had seen a scene that
12:33that a girl is falling
12:34and they are falling
12:35and they are falling
12:36and they are falling
12:36and they are falling
12:38and they are falling
12:42so I think we have to change
12:46the entire thing has to be changed
12:48Sir, the other TV industry
12:50drop act is telling
12:51that long working hours
12:52and the long working hours
12:56and the payment issues
12:58they are falling
12:59so what do you say?
13:01do you think
13:01there are changes
13:04that are coming from top level
13:05the producer will
13:08only pay when he gets
13:10so the point being
13:11this is a whole cycle
13:12and the whole cycle
13:13has to be approved
13:15the shows are approved
13:18and the dramas are approved
13:21so my point is
13:22that is why I am doing Marathi
13:23because I am doing Marathi
13:24TV shows are so realistic
13:27that the dramas are so realistic
13:29and it is so fun
13:30that is why I am doing Marathi
13:32TV show is more
13:33so the point is
13:36regional storytelling is so much different
13:38from what Hindi TV is
13:40Hindi TV is all about gloss
13:42everything should be bigger
13:44where Marathi TV is
13:46that it should be real
13:47I remember
13:47when I was the first
13:49Marathi show
13:49so my channel head said
13:52that
13:52we are Marathi show
13:53if our character's age
13:56is 50 years
13:57then we will cast
13:59a 50-55
14:00year
14:03we will cast
14:0320 years
14:04we will cast
14:04and we will cast
14:05it will not be
14:06and I am so good
14:08to listen to it
14:08because I am now
14:09in the theatre
14:09I don't know
14:11what is realism
14:11what is real characters
14:13but sadly
14:14Hindi TV
14:15it is not
14:16so that is the problem
14:18Sir
14:19where actors are
14:20and the first actors
14:21we have seen
14:22Sizan Khan
14:23we have seen
14:24Rony Troy
14:25we have seen
14:26Rohit Troy
14:27Sharat Kilkar
14:28and Sharat Malutra
14:29all actors
14:31who have seen
14:31they have seen
14:33screen presence
14:34but
14:34what actors do you think
14:35do you have seen
14:36screen presence?
14:37Of course
14:38the actors
14:39the story
14:40was woman oriented
14:41correct
14:41today's actors
14:43mostly instagram faces
14:44because I have heard
14:46that there are many
14:47areas of casting
14:47instagram followers
14:48that are very ridiculous
14:50I think
14:51that
14:52one actor
14:53should get
14:54a job
14:55for acting
14:55and I think
14:57that
14:58in India
14:58there are many good actors
15:00but
15:01when the question of television
15:03you have seen
15:03just one prototype
15:04you have seen
15:05any show
15:05pick up
15:07every actor
15:08will be a stubble
15:10every actor
15:11will be a long
15:12every actor
15:12will be a long
15:12every actor
15:13will be a body
15:13if you have seen
15:15any actor
15:15from one show
15:16and put it
15:17that will be
15:19so I think
15:22you have seen
15:23system
15:24the whole
15:25thought process
15:26everything
15:27change
15:27then
15:28the working hours
15:30changed
15:31because
15:32if you have
15:3320-25 minutes
15:34content
15:35Monday to Sunday
15:36then
15:37where the rest
15:37will be
15:37nobody is realizing
15:40the long side effects
15:41of it
15:42all
15:42some years
15:43but
15:43this is a system
15:45to work
15:46and we are doing
15:48that
15:48we don't shoot
15:5330 days a month
15:54we make it a point
15:55that our actors
15:55get at least
15:571-2 days
15:57so
15:59our planning
15:59is in advance
16:00so at least
16:01regional is doing that
16:03but
16:03I have not done
16:04since quite some time
