00:00How do you define your strategy?
00:03A set agenda, a narrative?
00:05Like, you should make a film like this
00:08so that it goes on.
00:12You have to think a lot and plan a lot.
00:15Look, when I used to watch this film,
00:19when it started,
00:23I used to feel that only one person, the director,
00:27makes the entire film.
00:29I didn't know about the writer,
00:31or if there would be a light man or an assistant.
00:35Because after one frame, there is a second one,
00:37and what would be the background.
00:39So, the film was coming in one person's mind.
00:41So, I wanted to be like a doctor.
00:44So, I wanted to be like a doctor.
00:46If there is an engineer, he wants to be like an engineer.
00:48So, he behaves like that.
00:51So, when I saw Sholay,
00:53I wanted to be like Sholay.
00:55I wanted to make Sholay.
00:56So, I went deep into that.
00:58I did the make-up,
01:00I brought the costume,
01:02I did the editing, I did the direction.
01:05The whole soul was in my mind.
01:08And the aim of making the film was
01:11to make people laugh,
01:12to make people happy,
01:13and to make it entertaining.
01:15Mostly, I tried to make people laugh.
01:17Because if there was a duplicate,
01:20you couldn't meet the original people,
01:22like Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan,
01:24or Amitabh Bachchan.
01:25So, if there was a duplicate,
01:26there would be a commotion in the village.
01:28If you look at them,
01:29you can understand the industry.
01:30If you look at the hero.
01:31So, when I made the film,
01:34the duplicate,
01:35I couldn't see the original.
01:37When I took the original duplicate,
01:39there was so much rush.
01:40To get their autograph,
01:42to get an autograph from Dharmendra,
01:44or from Amitabh Bachchan.
01:46So, I wanted to put something
01:48that would create a good atmosphere,
01:50happiness, and comedy.
01:52And I would like to say comedy
01:54is the age of comedy.
01:56For example, it's been 50 years
01:58since Charlie Chaplin died.
01:59More than that.
02:00More than that.
02:01Around 100 years.
02:02I said, yes.
02:03So, if we see a horror film of that time,
02:06we won't see that horror.
02:07We won't see it scientifically.
02:09But today, that comedy,
02:10kids will tell their future generations.
02:12That comedy.
02:13So, comedy lives on.
02:15I know comedy.
02:16That's why I make comedy films.
02:20And Adarsh,
02:21when you were playing this character,
02:23what were the exchanges
02:25between you and Reema on set?
02:27The kind of creative jamming
02:28that you used to engage in.
02:30What was that energy like?
02:31The give and take
02:32between an actor and a filmmaker.
02:34It was beautiful.
02:35I think we were constantly
02:36in communication about
02:37what the scene is about,
02:39what my intention is with the scene,
02:41how am I trying to affect
02:42the other person in the scene,
02:44what is the kind of baggage
02:46that I'm carrying into the scene.
02:47Because when you're shooting for a film,
02:49you're never shooting chronologically.
02:50You don't shoot in a linear way.
02:52Maybe you're shooting
02:53the climax on the first day.
02:55Now, when you're shooting
02:56the climax on the first day,
02:57you have to keep in mind
02:58the story of the film
02:59that the character has taken,
03:00the journey.
03:01You have to keep that story
03:02in your mind
03:03and get into that scene.
03:04Even if it's your first day.
03:06So, I feel like that was amazing.
03:10The communication
03:11that we constantly had.
03:12And even before
03:13we started filming also,
03:14Reema was so encouraging
03:15when I told her
03:16that I wanted to go to Malegaon
03:17and do this.
03:18A lot of filmmakers
03:19would have probably been like,
03:20you don't need to do all that.
03:21But Reema never questioned
03:23my process
03:25or the way I wanted to go about things.
03:27She was like,
03:28do whatever you have to do
03:29to do this.
03:30And I just really, really enjoyed
03:32working with her.
03:33And every day on set for me
03:35was like a big learning lesson.
03:37And yeah,
03:38I just had such a great time
03:39filming for it.
03:40And I have two final questions.
03:42One is for Reema
03:43and the other for three of you.
03:44First question is for Reema.
03:46Malegaon is known for its textile.
03:48Do we see textile
03:50as the character
03:51in Superboys of Malegaon?
03:53I mean, we do see some looms
03:56and the character of Shafiq
03:58worked in a loom.
03:59He was a loom worker.
04:00So yeah, we have shot
04:02in Malegaon in a loom.
04:04And for my final question
04:05for three of you,
04:06Reema, Farhan and Adrish.
04:08The film industries
04:09across the world
04:10have largely changed
04:11post-pandemic
04:12because the taste of audience
04:13has changed largely.
04:14Practically,
04:15every bet is off the table.
04:17We may work
04:18with these strategies
04:19but they may not
04:20necessarily translate
04:21when films go on to the theatre.
04:23Conversely,
04:24do you think it's the best time
04:25to go out and experiment
04:27as much as an artist can
04:28in your opinion?
04:29Anyone can take the lead
04:30and start.
04:31Yeah, I feel
04:32you don't have a choice.
04:34If that's the film
04:35you want to make,
04:36then that's the film
04:37you want to make.
04:38How can you make
04:39someone else's story?
04:40So the fact is that
04:42as a writer
04:43or as a director,
04:44you have to be passionate
04:45about what you're making.
04:47And I feel that it's...
04:49I always feel very envious
04:50of a first-time filmmaker
04:52because they have
04:53nothing to lose.
04:54You know,
04:55so that feeling,
04:56I think,
04:57if you can somehow
04:58keep inside you
04:59as you move forward
05:01because the pressure
05:02of your first film
05:03comes on your second.
05:04You know,
05:05that's actually what happens.
05:06If your film does well,
05:07everybody now wants to know
05:08what you're going to do next
05:09and that's when you start
05:10thinking strategy.
05:11Your first film,
05:12nobody's thinking strategy.
05:13If it becomes a film,
05:14it's a big deal.
05:15You know,
05:16that passion is something
05:17you have to somehow cultivate
05:19and keep alive.
05:20If that fire dies inside of you,
05:23you know,
05:24then I personally feel
05:25it's the end of your creativity
05:27because then you're only
05:28thinking with your mind
05:29and not with your heart.
05:31So I'll only speak
05:32to those people.
05:33You know,
05:34to those people
05:35who really have that fire
05:36in their heart,
05:37in their belly
05:38that I want to tell this story.
05:39They're not going to stop
05:40to think about
05:41going to the theatre
05:42or going to OTT.
05:43They want to make the film, boss.
05:44You know,
05:46I'm very happy.
05:47To me,
05:48it's not like
05:49all the films were
05:50hitting before the pandemic.
05:51It's not like that.
05:53The percentage of films
05:54that were doing well
05:55vis-a-vis not doing well
05:56was more or less
05:57the same only.
05:58The disparity seems more now.
06:00Because the numbers
06:01of hit films
06:02are so high
06:03that you feel
06:04that if you want
06:05to make 10-15 crores
06:06in a film today,
06:07that film is not good.
06:08But if you had made
06:0915 crores five years ago,
06:10you would have been like,
06:11wow, wonderful, great.
06:12You know,
06:13so it's all relative.
06:14But the thing
06:15for filmmakers
06:16and for writers,
06:17you know,
06:18and for actors
06:19who are choosing work,
06:20I think a big thing
06:21is to just go with your instinct
06:22and go with your gut.
06:23That's all you have.
06:25There was a song
06:26in Shaan,
06:27in Malegaon's Shaan.
06:28It was a touch.
06:29It was a touch in Malegaon
06:30and that's why
06:31people liked it.
06:32It was a small one.
06:33Loom ke deewane
06:36kaam karte hai
06:38shaan se
06:40beedi ho,
06:41chai ho,
06:43peete hai,
06:44shaan se
06:47Toh yeh wo,
06:48usse tash ta hai
06:49yeh sab cheez hai toh.
06:51Aur ek au toh,
06:52ek chota toh bata doon.
06:53Ji ji, sure, sure.
06:57Jaano aabi jao,
07:00tikya ya pulao
07:03Jo bhi bolo,
07:05sab milta hai
07:07Yeh hai Malegaon
07:10Kya baat hai.
07:11Jo bhi bolo,
07:12sab milta hai
07:14Yeh hai Malegaon
07:16Toh aisa jab,
07:17zyada interest liye phir Malegaon.
07:18Toh isliye zyada it hoi toh.
07:20Yeah and I mean always,
07:21he always had lyrics
07:22that he also parodied.
07:24So in Superboys of Malegaon
07:25there is a song
07:26and we've also intercut
07:28you know,
07:29original lyrics from Malegaon.
07:33And Adarsh,
07:34based on this,
07:35did you think lyrically
07:36since Soya mentioned that
07:38he has certain lyricality
07:39when it comes to
07:40expressing his thoughts.
07:41So did you kind of
07:42inculcate that
07:43in your performance as well?
07:44Lyricality?
07:45Thinking in terms of lyrics
07:47as Soya just mentioned
07:48that you know,
07:49there's a lyric to whatever
07:50he thinks and expresses.
07:51Kabhi kabhi Nasir bhai
07:52jumlo mein baat karte hain.
07:53So that I noticed
07:54that he loves using jumlas
07:56and you know,
07:57and he also has this
07:58really playful
07:59childlike energy about him.
08:00He still does.
08:01Toh aap soch sakte hain
08:0230 saal ke pehle
08:03wo energy kitni zyada hai.
08:05So,
08:06some of these qualities
08:07I tried to like
08:08inculcate and
08:09while playing the character.
08:10Perfect.
08:11So with that,
08:12we have reached the end
08:13of this conversation.
08:14If there's anything that
08:15I may have missed asking
08:16as a question
08:17or anything that
08:18you would have loved
08:19to talk about,
08:20so please feel free.
08:21No, just your intro.
08:22The film is releasing
08:23theatrically 28th February.
08:24So if you could just
08:25take that again
08:26and re-fab.
08:27Sure, sure.

08:29Aur usme aakhri gaana hai yeh.
