00:00 First of all, thank you for braving the rain.
00:05 All of you have been patiently waiting for so long.
00:08 Everyone got stuck in traffic.
00:10 It's been 10 years since the film was released.
00:15 And the way it inspired the people when it was released,
00:21 it continues to inspire them.
00:23 New generations are joining with the film.
00:26 The 4-year-old girl is now 14 years old.
00:30 She sees the film and says, "I have their message."
00:33 The 10-year-old girl is now 20 years old.
00:36 New generations are joining with the film.
00:39 We would like to share a special news with you.
00:43 Today, a special screening has been held.
00:46 This film has been adapted in ISL, which is Indian Sign Language.
00:52 So, people who can't understand, the film has been adapted in sign language.
00:58 Ajay sir is here and he has put in a lot of effort
01:06 to release the film in 30 cities all over the country on 6th of August.
01:11 So, people who couldn't understand the film before,
01:16 will now understand it in their own language, which is the ISL language.
01:20 We have all met today.
01:24 The cast and crew is inside.
01:27 It's difficult to say how we feel.
01:31 Sir, when we look back at the 71st National Award,
01:34 the first movie to go back in 100th current,
01:37 when you see back, tell us something,
01:39 how do you feel, how proud was it for you?
01:42 It is an exceptional movie to start with.
01:46 The work that Rakesh has done, Ajit did, Prasoon, the writer of the film,
01:51 Shankar, the music that they composed, all of it came together really well.
01:56 I consider myself lucky that I was a part of this film.
02:01 When I think about my career, this film is always on top.
02:07 Wherever I go in the world,
02:10 if there is a film that people talk to me about,
02:14 or say they have seen it, that is a part of it.
02:17 So for any person who is in the creative field as an artist,
02:21 you know that 100 crores is a box office number,
02:24 but the film that touches 100 crores of hearts,
02:27 you can't imagine anything when you get such a feeling wherever you go.
02:32 Ajit sir, I would like to know from you,
02:34 after 10 years, if the film gets continuous love,
02:37 how does it feel as a producer?
02:40 10 years is a long time.
02:44 You know, age passes by.
02:47 Even Milkhaji is not with us today.
02:49 She has gone on her journey.
02:51 But I feel this is the film that will outlast all of us.
02:56 The film will be remembered.
02:58 The way Farhan has made her himself in the film,
03:04 as Rakesh has said many times.
03:06 We have made many films,
03:10 and these special films,
03:12 they become something.
03:15 It is difficult to explain.
03:18 This special feeling,
03:23 we feel in the studio,
03:26 that this film is the heart of the studio.
03:30 And even when age passes,
03:33 even if there are wrinkles on the face,
03:37 there are no wrinkles on the heart.
03:39 I feel this film will never age.
03:42 There will be no wrinkles on this.
03:44 Sir, one last question.
03:45 As we guys are living in the OTT platform world,
03:48 are you making Bhaag Milka Bhaag 2 or any OTT,
03:52 like a series of Bhaag Milka Bhaag?
03:54 Are you planning for that?
03:55 Bhaag Milka Bhaag 2?
03:56 I am ready.
03:59 Yes, yes.
04:01 I wish I get the opportunity
04:08 to make Bhaag Milka Bhaag 2, Bhaag Milka Bhaag 3,
04:12 and get the inspiration.
04:16 But I will leave it for the younger generation now
04:20 to take this inspiring story forward.
04:24 There are many creative ways of correlating stories
04:28 and take it to the next level.
04:30 So that will be amazing.
04:32 And...
04:34 We put in as much as we could understand.
04:41 And...
04:42 If we say anything else,
04:48 it seems that the original image will be disturbed now.
04:52 Thank you.
04:54 And thank you once again for braving the rain
04:56 and being so patient.
04:58 Thank you very much.
