FunTranscript
00:00First of all, congratulations.
00:02Your film's song, all the kids are dancing, the adults are dancing, my daughter is also dancing.
00:09You have given a song for Holi and Ganpati for 2025.
00:13I am very curious to know how did you incorporate this from the idea?
00:18At the idea level, not just this, everyone should get the credit of 2-3 people.
00:26That song is our favourite song on many levels.
00:33Because today's Arjun is from the film.
00:36And in this film, today's Arjun is there.
00:42It's a great marriage.
00:43But jokes apart, the theme of Gori Hai Kalaiyaan,
00:47with this film's joke and Ankur's character who is stuck in his past and future,
00:56he was having a good marriage with her.
00:59I will give the credit to the producer of this film, Jackie Bagnani.
01:02He was very confident about the song.
01:05He just told me, I don't want to overstep, I am very confident about the song.
01:11If you can marry this in your film's world,
01:16then I think we have a good song.
01:18This is the story behind it.
01:21Though it has always been that Bollywood has re-packaged old songs.
01:27Different versions have been shown in the film.
01:30But in the times of social media, there are two kinds of people.
01:34One who says, this has been done very well.
01:36It has come in a new way.
01:38At the same time, there are comments like lack of creativity.
01:41So how do you deal with that? What is your take on that?
01:44I believe that both opinions are right.
01:46Both opinions have their own place and both opinions are right.
01:50Having said that, those who have the opinion that I liked the song very much,
01:57why did you do this?
01:58If this is their opinion, then I respect this opinion because
02:03good on you that you remembered that song.
02:06Good on you, I humbly accept it.
02:09Good on you that you remembered that song.
02:11But at the same time, there is a whole generation,
02:15a whole generation who had never heard that song.
02:19And who would have believed that if that song had not been done this way,
02:23then who would have encouraged them to go and listen to that song?
02:27So both opinions have their own place.
02:30And it is our job to accept both opinions.
02:33And this is not just about Hindi cinema.
02:36It is not just about Tamil cinema, Telugu cinema, Malayalam cinema.
02:39Even if you go abroad, you will see a film called A Star Is Born.
02:44It is being made with a lot of twists and turns.
02:48In every generation, the meaning of that relationship, that emotion changes.
02:53That is why that film makes itself a candidate.
02:57And similarly, there are some songs that make themselves a candidate
03:01that we can age continuously for 4, 5, 7 decades.
03:07If this happens in such songs, then I personally do not consider it wrong.
03:11Basically, it is all about how you reinvent yourself.
03:17I think when it comes to films, when it comes to stories, songs,
03:21creativity cannot only be defined in our film or in most cases.
03:26If you look at our film's album,
03:28it is not that we have all remixes or remakes or imaginations.
03:33This suited our storytelling also.
03:35If you watch our video, you will see our story in the video as well.
03:38A boy who is trapped between two girls,
03:40who is struggling for his affection.
03:43So I feel as long as you are using it in a good context,
03:46if you do something meaninglessly,
03:48and it has no logic and does not connect with the film,
03:50then I will say, why did you do it?
03:53We have tried to use a tune,
03:55an emotion that is awakened by listening to an audio.
03:58Goriya Kalaiya.
03:59There are so many people of today's generation
04:01who must have heard this song and do not know where it is from.
04:04We have used it with genuineness towards our film.
04:07And with all humility.
04:08We have four other songs that are original.
04:10I do not believe that this is not originality.
04:12This is a memorable song.
04:14We have used it creatively. I believe this.
04:17And like you said, it is fair.
04:18Sometimes you have to take both sides and understand everyone's opinion.
04:21We have tried to use it creatively.
04:23It fits in the film.
04:24The song fits in the film.
04:26I think when that is concerned,
04:28we have been creative about using a song that already exists
04:31in a very honest way in our film.
04:33It is not a dishonest thing.
04:35It might not have been the biggest blockbuster we have picked up.
04:38We have picked up a song that also fits the meter of our film.
04:40That's true.
04:42You have done all kinds of roles earlier.
04:44You have done action, you have done a love story.
04:46I think, if I am not wrong,
04:48your typical husband sandwiched between two wives
04:51is your first attempt.
04:53So, how was the experience?
04:55And did you pick any reference from the past?
04:57Husband and wife and other films.
05:00This is a very strange situation where he is trapped.
05:04Normally, in these kinds of films,
05:07a guy has to choose between two girls.
05:09Who will he marry?
05:11That is the end of the film.
05:12Our film starts where most love stories end.
05:15Most comedies also end.
05:17All the chaos in the world so that he can get married.
05:20Here, a man is moving forward only after the marriage.
05:23I found that very interesting.
05:25And then your past comes back and says,
05:27I won't let you go so easily.
05:29So, when a common man gets trapped,
05:31a common man, an upper-middle-class guy,
05:33who was moving forward is stopped.
05:35And this chaos has to end.
05:37I found that new.
05:39Inspiration-wise, I would say,
05:41I think the film, he as a director,
05:43has grown up watching these kinds of films.
05:45I think he enjoys these comedies with romance in it,
05:48with emotion, with family.
05:50Recently, De De Pyar De Hai was released,
05:52which I liked a lot.
05:53I won't say that it is an inspiration.
05:55That is a great reference point
05:57how to handle it in today's day and age,
05:59when you do this genre.
06:00My father made a film called Judai,
06:02which is a very nice reference point as a film.
06:04Not only performance.
06:06You took Govinda ji's Sajan Chale Sasura.
06:08So, is there something in your mind
06:10when you choose to be an actor?
06:12Baby number one also.
06:14Baby number one also.
06:15Interpretation of this character was that
06:17you got a boy for the first time
06:19who is moving from one marriage to another.
06:21So, I thought that was a novelty for me
06:23as an actor also to explore.
06:25But definitely, these films help you choose
06:27that these people enjoy this world.
06:29And also, many people ask me this question in mockery.
06:32So, I usually don't go into its clarification
06:34because I say that if you are enjoying it,
06:36then it is a good thing.
06:37But in this film, there is no such thing.
06:39Correct.
06:40There is no such thing in this film.
06:41Correct.
06:42This is the story of two wives.
06:44And it is the story of such a person
06:46who is not doing anything by choice
06:48between those two wives.
06:51He is not an adulterated soul
06:53who is trying to find something
06:55outside his marriage.
06:56Not at all.
06:57The idea is very different.
06:58Situational comedy.
06:59Yes, there is situational comedy.
07:01But I feel that from the perspective of the character,
07:04he is not going out looking for fun.
07:06He is not doing it on purpose.
07:07He is not looking for another woman.
07:09One was his woman
07:11and one is meant to be his woman.
07:13So, it's a very classic
07:15you know, I don't know what to do situation
07:18as opposed to a guy going out there.
07:20So, anyway.
07:21Bhoomi, your character seems to be very melodramatic.
07:24Typical Delhi Punjabi.
07:26I think you have not done this kind of film before.
07:29No, I have never done this kind of film before.
07:31Yes.
07:32So, I won't ask how much fun it is.
07:34But I would like to know
07:36what are your references?
07:38Have you seen Delhi Punjabi ladies?
07:40Yes.
07:41Who have you seen?
07:42I would like to say something about sir here.
07:45His hold on language is very strong.
07:50So, most of my work referencing
07:52came from Udhasar sir.
07:54If my language was off,
07:57he used to correct me.
07:59So, I was very fortunate
08:01that I got to play a character like this
08:03with him because I was very protected.
08:05And as you said,
08:07I have not done such a melodramatic film before
08:09and I have not done such a character before.
08:11When I read the script,
08:13I found a lot of similarities
08:15between Praveen and me.
08:17And I think
08:19there are some traits of my personality
08:21that I did a little more
08:23digging in, a little more deep.
08:25And because of that,
08:27the same shared experiences
08:29that I have seen
08:31other girls like Praveen
08:33and I know a lot of girls
08:35because we have a quality
08:37that when we go crazy, we go crazy.
08:39And she is a very stubborn girl.
08:41And because of that stubbornness,
08:43there is a lot of entertainment
08:45in the film. There is a lot of confusion.
08:47As you said, it is a situational comedy.
08:49The situation is that I am his ex
08:51and I have lost my memory.
08:53And I lost my memory
08:55on the day when he proposed me.
08:57But it has been five years since our divorce.
08:59He has moved forward.
09:01He has proposed
09:03the love of his life.
09:05But in that,
09:07as sir was saying,
09:09it has become a situation of errors
09:11where now what Ankur will do
09:13on that,
09:15this story, that's the story.
09:17You have done different kinds of films.
09:19In some, you have spoken the language of Brij.
09:21In some, you have done
09:23Bihari Ladki.
09:25In some, you are playing Punjabi.
09:27Which one was the most difficult for you to pick?
09:29Obviously, I know you all have a language coach
09:31and a director.
09:33Sir, I actually
09:35I
09:37I am very good with languages.
09:39And for me,
09:41I don't have to stop it.
09:43She speaks Marathi very well.
09:47And I enjoy
09:49different cultures.
09:51Guys, just stop it.
09:53I will give you
09:55a correct answer.
09:57And
09:59I would like to know what this joke was.
10:01No, no, you forget the joke.
10:03This joke is not for your interview.
10:07I will forget the answer.
10:09But I really enjoy
10:11picking up different languages.
10:13But I think the most difficult
10:15would have been for me,
10:17Buddelkhandi, which I had adopted
10:19in Sonchiriya.
10:21I had been coaching for 7-8 months
10:23for Buddelkhandi.
10:25I would like to know from you
10:27that we have seen
10:29many of your films.
10:31Many films have been
10:33in the zone of husband and wife.
10:35Infidelity has been a part of many films.
10:37If
10:39in near future
10:41and ahead,
10:43every director wants to explore
10:45different things.
10:47What would you like to do now?
10:49Every director wants
10:51to explore
10:53different things
10:55in his filmmaking, technique
10:57and stories.
10:59But I feel
11:01that adultery or infidelity
11:03is a special category for me.
11:05There is no adultery
11:07in Happy Bhaag Jaayegi.
11:09There is no adultery in Happy Phir Bhaag Jaayegi.
11:11In Husband and Wife,
11:13adultery is an idea
11:15in a mind.
11:17But physically, there is no adultery.
11:19I have never made an adulterous film.
11:23It's quite shocking.
11:25And there is zero adultery in this.
11:27There is no adultery in this.
11:29In Khel Khel,
11:31because there were
11:33seven characters,
11:35there was an insinuation
11:37to give different colors to different people.
11:39But having said that,
11:41I have understood your question
11:43on a larger level.
11:45If your question is
11:47about complications in marriage,
11:49I believe that there is no
11:51more complicated relationship than this.
11:53If I am looking for complications
11:55or I am enjoying doing it,
11:57then I think it is a necessary thing
11:59that it will happen.
12:01I have said this before,
12:03that this is the only relationship
12:05in the world
12:07that you have to sign
12:09as a contract.
12:11The only relationship.
12:13A brother does not ask his sister
12:15to sign a contract.
12:17It is not in friendship.
12:19It is another relationship.
12:21When is the contract signed?
12:23When is the contract signed?
12:25That you should not do anything wrong.
12:27Correct? On job, on partnership, whatever.
12:29Which means
12:31that there is something contractual about this relationship.
12:33Which means
12:35you have to be a little extra
12:37than what you are
12:39in any other relationship
12:41in order to make this relationship
12:43work.
12:45And it is a two-way process.
12:47Between so many layers,
12:49you can imagine how these stories
12:51will be in one life.
12:53Because there are so many complications.
12:55It is not just about the presence of another person.
12:57Boredom can be an element.
12:59Two people love each other a lot,
13:01but they are bored.
13:03If they are honest and can talk to each other,
13:05I am bored. What should I do?
13:07This can also be a good comedy.
13:09What we chose in this film
13:11is also a good comedy.
13:13So I feel that somewhere
13:15as a filmmaker,
13:17and it is not that I have love stories,
13:19I have heard a very intense,
13:21jilted, heartbroken love story.
13:23I have heard a comic paper
13:25by Bhoomi,
13:27which has nothing to do with marriage.
13:29So there are stories,
13:31but
13:33as a family,
13:37from an 8-year-old child
13:39to an 80-year-old woman,
13:41who is in your family,
13:43sitting in the cinema,
13:45without any
13:47cringe moment,
13:49and without any
13:51bloodshed.
13:53I am not
13:55undermining those films.
13:57But I am saying that
13:59I enjoy that space.
14:01I enjoy that congregational viewing.
14:03Uncle, aunt,
14:05mother, uncle, aunt, uncle,
14:07I enjoy that.
14:09Arjun, this question is for you.
14:11You and Bhoomi
14:13have worked together,
14:15as a team member.
14:17Actually, Rakul and I
14:19have worked together.
14:21Rakul and I have worked together.
14:23I am a veteran, I have worked with everyone.
14:25I and Arjun have worked together.
14:27You three had a proper team.
14:29So, if I ask you,
14:31I will ask you first,
14:33because we have worked together.
14:35So how was your experience
14:37working with her?
14:39She is one of my closest friends.
14:41She is a sister to me.
14:43I really hope that
14:45the audience will like our work.
14:47And if they like it,
14:49I will give all the credit to Rakul,
14:51that the audience liked my work.
14:53Because the kind of comedy it is,
14:55in this film, both the girls
14:57are after each other.
14:59So, Rakul does something,
15:01she wins. I do something, I win.
15:03There is a constant, for the lack of words,
15:05prank going on between us.
15:07One-up woman-ship.
15:09And in this situation,
15:11our family also gets stuck.
15:13A lot of confusion is created.
15:15And when girls do comedy,
15:17it is very less.
15:19And I feel,
15:21actually this is not a gender thing.
15:23Generally, when you are doing front-footed physical comedy,
15:25if you don't have co-actors,
15:27who give you space,
15:29and appreciate your work.
15:31If I don't do the same thing,
15:33it will never land.
15:35So, I really have to thank Rakul.
15:37She showed so much trust on me.
15:39I trust her blindly.
15:41And you have to believe me when I say,
15:43we really, really miss her.
15:45And I know she really,
15:47she misses being a part of the promotions.
15:49We constantly video call her.
15:51We are trying,
15:53we are here in Punjab.
15:55We are making reels together.
15:57So, in spirit, she is with us.
15:59Since you worked for so long,
16:01with two girls on the set,
16:03do you have a lot of gossip intake?
16:05Yes, there is a lot of gossip intake here.
16:07People think that girls gossip a lot.
16:09Actually, we all used to gossip together.
16:13So, what do you want to know?
16:15I assumed that since there were two girls,
16:17you must have a lot of gossip intake.
16:19Assumption is the mother of all evil.
16:23Boys also gossip a lot.
16:27I think boys are a little subtle.
16:29Yes, I am saying that.
16:31More than subtle,
16:33I think in general,
16:35there is a perception that
16:37when women sit together,
16:39they gossip a lot.
16:41When men sit together,
16:43they also gossip a lot.
16:45There is a different style.
16:47Anyway, we must have gossiped a lot.
16:49I do gossip a lot.
16:51I don't deny it.
16:53I always say that my name is Arjun,
16:55you know everything about me.
16:57No, you don't gossip.
16:59Gossip is very important.
17:01It's like tonic, I think.
17:03I will give you an answer,
17:05then it will be cut,
17:07then it will be that I gossip a lot.
17:09Gossip is a fact.
17:11We don't even know
17:13who is doing what.
17:15We don't even know
17:17who is doing what.
17:19But everyone has opinions.
17:21We gossip a little,
17:23read something,
17:25what is happening in the world,
17:27your point of view,
17:29my point of view,
17:31I think it is important
17:33because you are also engaging with everybody.
17:35Gossiping,
17:37complaining,
17:39misrepresenting people,
17:41doing something wrong,
17:43adding spices,
17:45sensitive matters,
17:47I don't believe that
17:49is healthy.
17:51But having said that,
17:53I would like to say that
17:55this is a big misconception
17:57that when two girls are on set,
17:59I have done a lot of films,
18:01I would like to say that
18:03in our film shoot,
18:05it was never that it was these two girls
18:07who were trying to outdo each other
18:09or back up the director.
18:11We genuinely had fun
18:13and I know it sounds very generic
18:15that we are answering this,
18:17but we are all friends.
18:19It was a very relaxed atmosphere.
18:21When the script is strong on paper,
18:23the environment becomes like that.
18:25When your director is clear
18:27we have had a lot of fun.
18:29We are still having fun.
18:31It's not like we won't talk after your interview.
18:33But that is what friendship is.
18:35That is what being comfortable with each other is.
18:37You can pass a joke,
18:39or a comment,
18:41I think that's healthy.
18:43When it's done,
18:45knowing why you are doing it.
18:47You don't do it to show someone down
18:49or to spread negativity.
18:51Bhumi, one quick question from you.
18:53Yesterday we saw your Pariksha Pe Charcha.
18:55Ma'am, I think
18:57it was an honour for me
18:59to be a part of this series.
19:01And the lessons
19:03that our honourable
19:05Prime Minister Sir gave us
19:07in Exam Warriors,
19:09the young minds,
19:11I got a lot of inspiration
19:13from that book.
19:15So I am really full of gratitude
19:17that I could be a part of the series.
19:19Thank you so much
19:21and all the best to you and all of you.
