00:00There is a very healthy conversation that has started about toxic masculinity also.
00:04And the characters got what they deserved.
00:05Can you hear me? I am not deaf.
00:15What was your feeling when you saw the script for the first time?
00:17There was no dialogue in it.
00:18But now you have to do it. What is the change now?
00:20That was the best thing.
00:21Because I have always tried to do work which is out of my comfort zone.
00:27And I never thought that Sandeep would be ready to work with me.
00:32And I don't know why he chose me.
00:34Because I have told this story many times.
00:35But when he came to meet me, he showed me a photograph of me.
00:38CCLC.
00:39I saw it. I saw it day before yesterday.
00:40Yes. I used to play for the celebrity cricket league.
00:42You had grown a beard in unemployment.
00:44Yes, I had grown a beard.
00:45So he was of use to me in my unemployment.
00:48But like how he was saying, he knew which one to cast.
00:53And I was just happy.
00:54But when he said, I am going to be mute.
00:55I said, my power comes from you.
00:59But I said, let's go with it.
01:02Because I knew those 15 days work which he is giving me
01:05is actually of a guy who is also not really an antagonist.
01:11Everybody has a story.
01:13My grandfather died. I lost my voice.
01:15I love my family. And I am a romantic.
01:17I have three wives.
01:20Actually, there is a negative streak.
01:22In everyone.
01:23Everybody was negative before.
01:25That's life.
01:26But everybody was loving the negative side also.
01:29Because the portrayal was so good.
01:32When he is doing this.
01:34Everybody is liking.
01:35Of course, there is a very healthy conversation
01:38that has started about toxic masculinity also.
01:40Which is a great thing.
01:41Because in cinema, at least there starts a conversation.
01:43If something is wrong,
01:44if you don't show that it is wrong
01:46and unless a conversation starts in society,
01:48we will never realize it.
01:49So the characters that we portray,
01:52those are characters.
01:54So it is very important that as actors
01:56we have empathy for them
01:57because we have to play them.
01:58But as an audience,
01:59then you decide that this is wrong.
02:02You can make a film on a wrong person
02:04and it should be made.
02:05If you don't make a film on them,
02:06society will never improve it.
02:08Storytelling is how do you write a story.
02:10It is the reflection of the society.
02:12It is showing you what is happening in the society.
02:14And there are so many things we don't want to talk about.
02:17But we actors,
02:18we are just getting an opportunity
02:19to play different characters.
02:20That's the fun of being an actor.
02:22And the characters got what they deserved.
02:24He got what he deserved
02:25and I got what he deserved.
02:26He got what he deserved.
02:27It is the character playing
02:29that you have to understand.
02:31Still, whoever said something
02:33as an audience,
02:34whoever didn't like anything,
02:36I would like to compliment you as an actor
02:38because everyone said that
02:40the acting was very good.
02:41The portrayal was very good.
02:42Sir, you are giving the same look
02:43that you were giving him at that time.
02:45Don't scare me, sir.
02:46What did I do?
02:47You were giving him the same look.
02:48Now he is looking at me like this.
02:50He slapped me four times.
02:51I didn't do anything, sir.
02:52Look, Basit,
02:53you and I have done this film.
02:54But when the film runs,
02:56everything runs.
02:57When the film doesn't run,
02:58nothing runs.
02:59No matter how much acting you have done,
03:00no matter how good acting you have done,
03:01it is useless.
03:02We have done a lot of films.
03:03From the first frame to the last frame.
03:05When the film runs,
03:06everything runs.
03:07From the first frame to the last frame.
03:08But after the last frame,
03:09after the screening,
03:10we forget everything.
03:11Correct.
03:12We did a great job
03:13but it didn't work.
03:14We won't get anyone at the party.
