00:00Hello, thank you so much.
00:01First of all, thank you for coming to our office.
00:03It's amazing having you guys here.
00:06And let's just start with this interview.
00:09Ali Baba and Charles Chor we've heard.
00:11Chor has a new identity to it, right?
00:14Yes.
00:14So what do you think this version, how is it different?
00:18How is it different?
00:20Chor has a different type of chor.
00:24Everyone has their own stories.
00:26There are backstories for chors.
00:27Yes, we've got the chorses.
00:31But the chorses also know the chorses.
00:34Which is a different angle.
00:36Yes, I mean, in this show,
00:37I've seen the chorses also need healing.
00:40But we're healing them in the show.
00:42That's right.
00:44Correct.
00:45If the 40 booths represent 40 different peers,
00:49which human peer do you think is the most universal?
00:52Our shoot has fallen 4 months.
00:55I think universal human fear would be that people think about me.
01:01People think about me.
01:03People think about me.
01:03I think that every person thinks about me.
01:07People think about me.
01:07I hope I think about me.
01:08I think that the actors are more than me.
01:11But I think that the actors are more than me.
01:12But I think that the actors are more than me.
01:12Personally, if I say that the show is more than me.
01:14If I say that,
01:14if I say that,
01:15I think that our story is about the talkies.
01:17In that,
01:18we're not basically heroine.
01:19And everyone asks me,
01:21if you're a fan of me.
01:23So the actors' fear is that the fans will not disown after the fans.
01:27Yeah.
01:29You know,
01:29it's interesting that you have 40 booths,
01:31but you also have 40 episodes.
01:33Yes.
01:33And in these 40 episodes,
01:35how do you strike a balance creating fear?
01:37And making the audience somewhere,
01:39you know,
01:40emotionally invest in this mystery behind these 40 stories, 40 booths.
01:45So,
01:47there are 40 episodes,
01:48but booths,
01:49we have 10.
01:49How do you strike a balance between creating,
01:52you know,
01:52making people,
01:54you know,
01:55fear also,
01:56because of the horror element,
01:57and also emotionally invest in 40 booths?
02:01Basically,
02:02when I read it,
02:04I thought that
02:05the booths' story is growing,
02:08but apart from that,
02:09every character has its own character
02:10which is developing the story.
02:12And you can see that
02:13the other one.
02:13this is a good thing.
02:14The booths are very well blended with our main topic.
02:16The booths are living together with each other.
02:20And I feel like
02:21they are very good if they aren't getting the other one.
02:24So,
02:24we connect with each story.
02:27When we get the last episode,
02:27after the 4 episodes,
02:28we get the conclusion.
02:29So,
02:29we go further,
02:30then our characters are growing and growing.
02:34You will see
02:35how all the characters are together,
02:37how strong they are together,
02:38how strong they are.
02:40And in fact,
02:41you will see the booths' story in every 4 episodes.
02:45You will see the booths' arc too.
02:47Yes.
02:48So,
02:48where was the booth?
02:49Why did it become the booth?
02:50And how did it happen?
02:52I mean,
02:52we also give the booths' justification.
02:54Why did it become the booths?
02:55I mean,
02:56I didn't want to be scared of it.
02:57But,
02:58I'm saying,
02:59I'm scared of it.
03:00And with horror,
03:01there is also comedy.
03:02There are little moments.
03:03Like,
03:04Kinu and Baba's cute things.
03:05Kinu and Baba's cute things.
03:08There are funny things.
03:10Ali and Baba's cute moments.
03:13So,
03:15Ali and Baba's cute moments.
03:18So,
03:18it's a state steeped with folklore and,
03:21you know,
03:21the stories of super natural.
03:22So,
03:23how did that shape your life while growing up?
03:27I've heard about Devi Devtas a lot.
03:29Yeah,
03:30I've heard about Devi Devtas a lot.
03:31In fact,
03:32I remember,
03:32when we were in the beginning of the shoot for Ali Baba and Charles Booth,
03:37we were sitting with the director and sir,
03:39we were telling some stories about it.
03:42So,
03:43I remember telling them about this one incident,
03:46which was in my family,
03:47in the village.
03:48Because,
03:49it's a place in our village.
03:51It's a place in the village.
03:52So,
03:53it's so many times,
03:55that if someone passed away in your family,
03:58sometimes,
03:58it's a place of your soul.
03:59You know,
04:00you know,
04:01you have to talk about that soul.
04:03In that village,
04:03in that village,
04:04in that village,
04:07you know,
04:08it's not like that,
04:08he told them about the family experience.
04:12And,
04:12it was,
04:14very overwhelming.
04:15So,
04:16I've been telling them about the director,
04:19and some other people,
04:20so,
04:20they told them about it.
04:22And,
04:23I told them,
04:24this is like a first-hand experience.
04:25It's not like that,
04:26someone had heard the story.
04:28So,
04:28I definitely believe,
04:29and,
04:29in our village,
04:30it's a place.
04:32So,
04:32mom and papa also,
04:33heard stories,
04:35when they lived in the village.
04:37Yes,
04:38they went to school,
04:40and,
04:40they went to school,
04:41and,
04:42and,
04:42there are trees,
04:44and,
04:44and,
04:44there are trees,
04:45and,
04:46there are many stories,
04:46and,
04:50there have been,
04:51there have been,
04:52traditional stories,
04:53in your family,
04:55that has shaped you,
04:57and,
04:57your thinking,
04:57about supernatural life.
04:59I mean,
05:00there are many stories,
05:01that I have heard,
05:02that I have never heard,
05:04and,
05:04I don't want to pray,
05:05because,
05:06if it happened,
05:07I will go,
05:08in the first place,
05:10because,
05:11that time,
05:12I have heard,
05:13that,
05:14that,
05:14that,
05:14that,
05:14such source,
05:15another hearing,
05:15the hearth of,
05:15even up,
05:16with it,
05:16and,
05:16even up,
05:17even now,
05:18tune with it,
05:21this is helping,
05:23but,
05:23especially I have used it on my side,
05:26I have used it,
05:29and,
05:29and,
05:29it was the strange,
05:29the lady's two Например,
05:30is a special road because,
05:43the
05:44and I had to give them a little time
05:48for their family
05:50so I always believe
05:52because I have seen that incident
05:53so I don't want to get out of me
05:56I believe and in fact
05:58when we were shooting
06:00my hair was back
06:01so my hair was back
06:03so my hair was back
06:06just because we believe in it
06:07you know just to be safe
06:10so yeah
06:12better safe than sorry
06:15but you know
06:16I understand the show
06:17has a strange
06:18but at the same time
06:21we talk about horror
06:22especially horror
06:24has been hugely criticized
06:27by a lot of people
06:28because you know
06:29it somehow
06:29you enforces fear
06:31around beliefs and traditions
06:33so do you think that
06:34creators have a responsibility
06:35to distinguish between
06:36cultural belief and superstition
06:38yeah
06:39cinema
06:40which is our medium
06:43of entertainment
06:44I think
06:45we have that liberty
06:49you know whatever the director
06:51whatever the team
06:52believes in
06:53a story
06:54a idea
06:54is coming from where
06:55and if they want to do something
06:59as a medium of entertainment
07:01then I think
07:03all these limitations
07:04should not be
07:05because whatever you believe in
07:07this idea
07:07that you believe in
07:08I think
07:10human ideas
07:12and that
07:12scope
07:13can go anywhere
07:14so I think
07:16when it comes to horror
07:19I think
07:21entertainment
07:22and for the purpose of entertainment
07:24I don't find any problem in it
07:27and at the same time
07:28our show is a horror comedy
07:30so we have to add comedy
07:31and as an audience
07:33this is also your responsibility
07:34that if you are looking at horror
07:36then you have to prepare for comedy
07:38and prepare for comedy
07:38so we are not scared
07:39we are not scared
07:41we are not scared
07:41we have clear in our own zone
07:43that we will create comedy
07:45if we are making a horror show
07:47then it is different
07:48that we want to be scared
07:49and we will be scared
07:50but I am a fan of
07:52the horror show also
07:53I like to be scared
07:54same same
07:54because it is fun
07:55because it is fun
07:57because it is fun
07:57because it is a whole
07:57that there are lights
07:58and people are not watching
08:00the film
08:01so it is fun
08:02it is fun
08:03I think
08:03all the time
08:05that we are not sure
08:06you guys said
08:06you guys did
08:07this is horror puzzle
08:08you have a show
08:09it was a horror show
08:11which was the scariest part
08:12and other shows
08:13and the other shows
08:15is a horror show
08:16that was the scariest part
08:17that was the scariest part
08:19i don't remember
08:20i do not remember
08:22that time
08:23i don't remember
08:23i remember the title
08:24i think
08:27if anyone came
08:28or played,
08:29i remember
08:30too
08:30I think it's going to be a good song.
08:32Yes, yes, yes.
08:34Is that a good song?
08:37Yes, it's a good song.
08:39In the time, two shows have said that
08:41we are like water.
08:43Correct.
08:44At one time, it was OG.
08:49I was a little girl,
08:50and she was a junior.
08:52She was a junior.
08:53Yes, she was a junior.
08:54She was a junior junior.
08:58she would be born as a civilization.
09:00Oh, I was a national hero.
09:01It was the villain for him.
09:05But the geheed until they got blown,
09:07I could not see that.
09:09Yes, you know,
09:11because when I was scared I had made a little show
09:14about Ali Baba and Charles Wood.
09:15Please look at that show.
09:17Yes, there certainly is quite a nice nostalgia,
09:19you might have said so.
09:22And Khashog, you're like the undisputed
09:24party of television.
09:39because I want to
09:44see
09:46I feel that I am an actor
09:48and I just want to act
09:49and I want to do good projects
09:51whether it is OTT
09:52it is films
09:53or it is television
09:54and
09:57I just want to be free
09:59and the reason that I am doing more of OTT
10:02is because OTT
10:03is done in one month, two months
10:04and then you are free
10:07and then you live a little life
10:09because I remember not having a life
10:12and then you live a little life
10:13then you go back to another project
10:15and you are doing a completely different character
10:18so I think I am really liking this process
10:20trying new characters
10:22so yeah
10:23that is how I am functioning
10:25and now that you are doing something which is funny
10:34horror
10:34a mixed movie
10:36because usually a strong performance
10:40It's a low vision mode, it's a low vision mode, it's a low vision mode, so is that why you
10:44picked up a character like a movie, because you wanted to play that visual, you wanted to play that movie?
10:49As an actor, you want to do different things, and obviously when you have done one zone, you want to
10:56turn a variation in the market,
10:58that you want to do different things, it's very difficult to get the opportunity,
11:02as a character, people wait to do different things, and I don't want to do different things,
11:08I'm very grateful that I got a Kinnu, which is different from the Raja, and I can show my capabilities,
11:16I can do it as an actor, and I don't want to do it in the rock zone, I want
11:21to do it,
11:22and that's my challenge, that I'm able to add freshness in that, but yes,
11:27I think that there are different things as an artist, I always want to do different things, I also want
11:32to do romance,
11:33and if you get a Moga, I will try that too, because I feel like that,
11:37You've done a little bit of romance in the show,
11:39Oh, tell me, show me, show me, I've done something,
11:42I've done something,
11:46but that's our way,
11:48that's my love life, that's my show,
11:51so please show me and know,
11:57also at the same time, you know, I've been covering TV for 12 years now,
12:01and this is my 13th year, and I absolutely love to do the medium,
12:05but there are people,
12:06I mean, you know,
12:08it's not a medium,
12:12which is giving, I mean, I think you guys are a lot of superstars,
12:15because you're coming every single day,
12:17what do you have to see for some people,
12:19to these people who think that TV is just a medium,
12:22or is not a medium at all, or is not a serious medium?
12:26Yaar, abhi, woh unke, you know, kya intention ta behind it,
12:30I have no idea what people go through,
12:33what kind of frustration they have experienced,
12:35so I cannot comment on what he said,
12:37but for me personally,
12:39television has given me everything,
12:41I became a household name because of television,
12:44and, aaj bhi, they call me as Purvi,
12:47my character name from Pavich Rishtha,
12:49so, agar aaj tak yaad hai,
12:51it is because of television,
12:52and,
12:53I mean,
12:54that, you know,
12:55that medium is,
12:56I will always be grateful to television,
12:58for giving me what I have today,
13:00I don't think,
13:01OTT,
13:01or cinema bhi,
13:02mujhe wo de paeega,
13:03joh mujhe television ne diya hai,
13:05so yeah.
13:05And the same is said about OTT,
13:07that OTT is kind of like taking over,
13:09the footfalls of theatre,
13:10and OTT is kind of like spoils,
13:13but what do you think about that?
13:15I don't think,
13:17that OTT is the space of cinema,
13:19but,
13:20yes,
13:20OTT has created opportunities for many actors,
13:21and technicians for many actors,
13:23opportunities for me,
13:24as well as artists,
13:25who have the opportunity to show their calibre,
13:27to show their talents,
13:28where I can showcase my talents,
13:31but,
13:31I am not saying,
13:32that both of them are competing with each other,
13:35there is no competition,
13:37there is a lot of content,
13:38that we are making content,
13:39and if it is solid,
13:41that we will also make films,
13:41but if it is solid,
13:43that we will also make content,
13:44that we will also make content,
13:45because the audience is very nice,
13:47we are seeing world cinema,
13:49we are seeing Peaky Blinders,
13:50and at the same time,
13:51we are looking at Game of Thrones,
13:52and then,
13:53we are watching so many other films,
13:56and we are looking to see more good things,
13:58even though in Malayalam cinema,
13:59we are getting to see a film,
14:00or in the Avation,
14:01or in the Ballon and the Boys,
14:03so as an audience,
14:05if we are racing,
14:05So our responsibility is increasing as an actor, as an actor, as an actor, what we are delivering content to
14:13our audience.
14:13Also, a very tough question for us, why are we ready?
14:16Yes.
14:17Why do you think Ali Baba's challenge group has five views?
14:22Five?
14:22Asha Negi, Vishal Vasishta, Ramaldi Pryadar, and Brizul Das. Please, please, please, please.
14:30I think I want to tell you a little bit in detail that this show is not taking seriously seriously.
14:38Even though there are a lot of serious things, but you can have a lot of planning and plotting on
14:44this show, but you can just watch it.
14:46It's a very light-hearted show. It's horror. It's comedy.
14:49But still, you can take it seriously without being seriously.
14:54And it's one of those binge-watches.
14:56Although you can't binge because there are 4-4 episodes every Friday.
15:01But it's an easy show.
15:02Like, the genre, like thriller, crime, you'll get a little bit of a breather.
15:10And I think there will be a metaphorical answer.
15:15It's like life. It can be very tough.
15:17But we're trying to make it light.
15:20We're not taking it seriously.
15:20We're not taking it seriously.
15:22You're not taking it seriously.
15:25We're not taking it seriously.
15:26We'll take it seriously.
15:27We'll take it seriously.
15:27We'll take it seriously.
15:30Today's show is coming from Ali Baba and Chalice Booth.
15:32We're going to four episodes every Friday night.
15:35We're going to see Jalool from Jalool.
15:37Jalool Jalool Jalool.
