00:00I don't think Aamir has flopped a single film, but his Lal Singh Chaddha was a great film.
00:04He produced the film Lapata Ladies, which is an amazing film.
00:08Shah Rukh has an aura that he will never leave you.
00:13And you will see that in Jawan.
00:15I liked Jawan more.
00:17He plays a role of his age.
00:20I liked him.
00:21Aamir gives his entire time from subject selection.
00:26Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan have been together since the early days of Bollywood.
00:50How many changes do you see in these artists?
00:53Shah Rukh Khan has returned through Jawan, Pathan and Dunky.
00:59Aamir Khan is also working on his return.
01:02This is a time of change.
01:04Artists prove to themselves that their time is not up yet.
01:10How do you define this time?
01:15I think it is their wisdom that shows how wise they are.
01:19No one wins in life.
01:20Shah Rukh has lost against these three artists in one year.
01:25At one point the variety of the actors is fascinating.
01:29I don't think Aamir has been nothing short of a flop,
01:31but his Lal Singh Chaddha was a great film.
01:34He produced the film Lapata Ladies, which is an amazing movie.
01:42Aamir has never been wrong and I have seen him succeed in this field.
01:47I mean, the filmography that has been seen in it.
01:52Both of them, whom I met earlier, when they were not stars,
01:57I saw their growth is very good.
01:59Aamir gives his entire time from subject selection.
02:05So, his film...
02:09The uniqueness of telling a story, he understood that.
02:16He makes very good films.
02:19I mean, with his director.
02:22I think Shahrukh...
02:25I think his stardom, aura is something different.
02:29So, how impressed were you with Shahrukh Khan
02:31that you made a film with him, with a title?
02:33Very much. I think he has a lot of impact as a person.
02:39If you meet him, you take his impact home.
02:43Aamir's simplicity and Aamir's ordinaryity,
02:49you take that home.
02:51Shahrukh has an aura.
02:57He will not leave you.
03:02So, both of them are at their place.
03:04And you will see that in Jawan.
03:07I liked Jawan more.
03:09Although, Pathan was also his hit.
03:12But Jawan, who plays a role of his own age,
03:17I liked him a lot.
03:20More than his own age.
03:21But, yes, I think they are very useful.
03:29They didn't become a star just like that.
03:31If we talk about your initial career,
03:33your early days,
03:34you started with Aamir Khan's film, Kayamat Se Kayamat Tak.
03:37And after that, you were also associated with Shahrukh Khan's circus.
03:42So, how do you see yourself in the four decades of your career?
03:49What have you gained and what have you lost?
03:51If you analyse it.
03:53I think I have joined life and art.
03:59I think I have found an overlap.
04:02And it's not two, it's one.
04:05So, I don't feel like I'm acting.
04:07It's a different life.
04:10When I don't act, it's a different life.
04:13So, from the beginning, you were interested in acting or art?
04:18Like you said, you were a very good cricketer.
04:21I was a sports person.
04:22I used to play any sport.
04:25And I made this by accident.
04:27And I always felt that I kept making everything by accident.
04:30I kept becoming a writer by accident.
04:32A director, a producer.
04:35And I still don't consider myself to be an artist.
04:40I feel like I'm living.
04:42And that's it.
04:43You started as an actor, then you became a director, then a producer.
04:48So, what's the difference between these three roles?
04:50How many challenges do you face as an actor?
04:52As a director or a producer?
04:54What are the challenges?
04:55Do you have more responsibilities?
04:57Or does your focus change?
04:59I feel that a writer is actually the most important person who can write.
05:06After that, there's a producer who looks for a director.
05:14And then there are the actors.
05:16And the rest are the head of the department.
05:21So, I'm the first writer.
05:24Whenever I do my own work.
05:27But if I go somewhere as an actor, I don't give suggestions to anyone.
05:31Like, write this scene like this.
05:34Or make it like this.
05:36I can tell you what I'm doing.
05:38Or if you like it, you can tell me.
05:41So, as a director, I'm absent there.
05:44As an actor, I'm present.
05:46And an actor's job is to be mindful.
05:48So that he listens to what the other person is saying.
05:50And he does it after listening.
05:53Absolutely.
05:54And when I direct, I forget that I'm an actor.
06:01So, I definitely understand the actors more.
06:04I know what the actor needs.
06:07So, how to keep the actor happy.
06:11I definitely do that.
06:13So, there are different roles.
06:15And I feel that as an actor, we play our own roles.
06:18I feel that you have to play your own roles.
06:23In these decades, you've worked in Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, Hindi, English, Marathi.
06:29You've worked in many languages.
06:31So, while working in all these languages,
06:34how much preparation do you have to do?
06:37I didn't do that much.
06:38I'm sure I'm annoyed that I didn't learn any language.
06:43But yes, I did what was necessary for that scene.
06:50Because I feel it's humanly a little bit not possible
06:53that I learn so many languages.
06:56And then I act.
07:00And then it becomes a burden.
07:01And then it feels like a person gets tired.
07:05That's why I thought that I should act.
07:08Language is just a tool
07:14through which you're conveying this emotion to people.
07:17So, I prepare for that.
07:20But I do feel that I can either dub it myself
07:28so that it remains my voice.
07:29When I don't have my voice in South Indian films,
07:32then it's a little sad and painful.
07:35I should have my own voice.
