00:00That these two who are your hands, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan,
00:04if the market is down now,
00:07This film will be done with you.
00:09Okay, that's wonderful.
00:13In Papa's lifetime, for the longest time,
00:16Raj Ji and Papa, they met and they kept on talking about a sequel.
00:21We thought about this sequel, Raj Ji.
00:24And Raj Ji said, I'm writing, I'm writing, I'm writing.
00:27But nothing happened.
00:28You can give this answer, Raj Ji.
00:32Why didn't it happen in my dad's lifetime?
00:34Why didn't it happen in my dad's lifetime?
00:36Why didn't it happen in my dad's lifetime?
00:39We've heard a lot about that,
00:42Aamir Khan and Raj Santoshi are going to make a sequel.
00:46So I thought maybe Santoshi Ji had the rights,
00:50maybe Aamir had the rights.
00:51No, so...
00:52Will he get it with you?
00:53We'll never give it.
00:54Everyone can say, Aamir Khan can say,
00:56He's writing, everything.
00:58But if producers officially announce it,
01:00then there's a picture.
01:02This is only talk.
01:04So are you going to have Santoshi Ji on board
01:07as the director of the sequel?
01:09We don't know.
01:10Namaste.
01:10Namaste.
01:11Namaste.
01:12Namaste.
01:13Namaste.
01:14I'll go from left to right.
01:15Namrata.
01:16Preeti.
01:17Amod.
01:18Welcome.
01:20Namaste.
01:21Namaste.
01:22Namaste.
01:22Namaste.
01:23Namaste.
01:24I'll go from left to right.
01:26Namrata.
01:27Preeti.
01:28Amod.
01:29Welcome.
01:31Thank you so much.
01:32Namaste.
01:33And I will also say,
01:35Namaste to Vinay Sinan Ji's son.
01:41Thank you Bhattu Ji.
01:43Namaste.
01:44You're your inner ear dipping water.
01:49I'll welcome you so much.
01:50Um,
01:51I will tell you about you,
01:53you are 풀ened in space.
01:55I'll tell you something.
01:57please read first and read it
01:58once in excuse,
01:59trust me,
01:59you always heard,
02:01can be MR.
02:01Isaf?
02:02Yes.
02:02I'll tell you something.
02:03I'll tell you,
02:05if you start pushing ahead.
02:06I can confirm your original
02:07new outlet to rights.
02:10Today's experience is something you
02:11It was very strange because it was not the kind of music.
02:19Different.
02:20It was very different.
02:21It was very retro music.
02:22In 1994, you had a film released.
02:23But in that time it was retro music.
02:32So, it was very strange and unusual.
02:34So that film you are going to re-release now, what is your date?
02:42So the date is set, but I would like to say one thing, you said that the film doesn't work.
02:50So the perception is that we want to change it.
02:54Because this film, you know, was the one who was born in one year,
02:58and it was four years because of combination dates and problems.
03:02And then the budget also increased.
03:06So when Papa released the film, it was a limited release.
03:11There was no promotion, because Aamir, Salman, Raj Ji were shooting.
03:18And the promotion was now on social media, digital.
03:22There was only print media and television, satellite channels.
03:26You know that that year Zee TV was coming.
03:30So I think that promotion was limited.
03:33Also, because the film was over budget, the release was limited, short.
03:39But not only by that, but distributors till recently, that film was average hit.
03:48Raj Bansal, Rajasthan, the distributor.
03:50Neeraj movies.
03:52Neeraj movies.
03:53Jeeraj movies.
03:55By the way of breaking the film too.
03:56But we can't really talk.
03:57Re-release that film is the same thing.
03:58You know, I think that a film was the same,
04:00The real problem.
04:02So for this film to me, I got back to the film.
04:03And I tried to go ahead and mention that their film was the same thing.
04:05release promotion. So they said that the film was a flop. So I said that it was not a flop.
04:16He said that I am telling him. So I said that Aamir Khan was telling him that his film was a flop.
04:22That's what we heard in 1994.
04:26Andaz of Ramna did a silver jubilee run in Bombay.
04:30Limited screens because we had released that time.
04:37And we had limited theaters.
04:40That was a big hit. The theaters were very low.
04:45So we had to release that in limited theaters.
04:49Many people didn't know because it was limited publicity.
04:53It was released.
04:55And then we had to release that film for the other film.
05:00Because there was no other film released.
05:02So we were not able to wait for more.
05:05Because we were already 4 years old.
05:07And there were so many interests that we had completed.
05:10So it was not possible that Papa would stop.
05:14So they had to release that film.
05:17So Aamir Khan, when they said that,
05:21I said that if you ask the distributor,
05:24because they will also know.
05:25If the producer will also know.
05:26If the producer will also know.
05:27If the producer will also know.
05:28If the producer will also know.
05:29If the producer will also know.
05:30If our children will have come.
05:31And the distributors, all distributors, Raj Ban Salo, Neeraj Movies,
05:35the producer will also know.
05:36He said that we did get an overflow.
05:38We got an overflow.
05:39We got an overflow.
05:40We got an overflow.
05:41The picture, because it was over budget.
05:44There were many payments from that overflow.
05:47Your father did.
05:48Ma'am, that was a lab letter.
05:50Against the release.
05:52Yeah.
05:53Before the release.
05:54So when the overflow came.
05:56So when the overflow came.
05:57So when the overflow came.
05:58So everyone got paid.
05:59So where will it be?
06:00So where will it be?
06:01It's not like Salman, Rame, Ravina, Kishwain payments.
06:05It's all.
06:06No.
06:07They have been cleared.
06:08Every time.
06:09No new money was left.
06:11That we have to give it later.
06:13But the overflow came.
06:14When he had a few children.
06:16That he had a few kids.
06:17From that he had a few children.
06:18But after that he didn't have a profit.
06:20So obviously.
06:21So he didn't have a profit.
06:22He may have been a little on the road.
06:24But that still doesn't.
06:25That still doesn't say.
06:27That film flopsy.
06:28It was an average.
06:29It was an average.
06:30And this perception, so Aamir Bhai did tell us that the perception is the same.
06:35You change, we are children, we are to speak.
06:38And Papa has never given any interview to tell you.
06:44Papa was always a very low profile person.
06:48You know, you know him, you know him.
06:50He was always a good person.
06:52He was always a good person.
06:54He was always a good person.
06:57I remember someone asked, a journalist,
07:00that you have never said that the film is going on.
07:03So Papa said, I have never said that the film is not good.
07:07Everyone said that you have seen the film,
07:10and you have made such an amazing film.
07:13So Papa said, I have always understood that the film has done well.
07:18And I maintained that.
07:20After that, what happened on digital and satellite,
07:25and then it just kept on going from strength to strength.
07:29But then it was a very strange situation.
07:35There was a very strange situation where the picture didn't go according to perception.
07:41The picture didn't go before,
07:43but it was very interesting that after that it went.
07:45Yes.
07:46But when it was released, no one went inside and said, wow, what a picture is.
07:56Those who have seen it, they don't have that.
08:00So, someone hasn't said that this is a blockbuster.
08:06So, we think that because it was a limited release, limited theaters,
08:13that maybe it didn't get so big release.
08:16But whatever the release was, it was more respectful.
08:22Because when we were promoting it, Parish Rawal Ji posted,
08:29that the film is coming.
08:31And thousands of people have commented on their social media handle.
08:38I mean, many people have seen a lot of things,
08:41but one thing, someone said,
08:43that we didn't have a picture in 1994.
08:46We were like, we're going to watch a film.
08:48When we came out, we understood that we were watching a film.
08:52And that discussion, he said, that we are going with us.
08:57I think that says it all about the film.
09:00I mean, it's all about the film.
09:01I said, I was not social media.
09:02So, this is all about the film.
09:03I didn't know this.
09:04It's all about the film.
09:05I didn't know this.
09:06It was all about the film.
09:07I didn't know this.
09:08So, this is all about the film.
09:09I didn't know this.
09:10Now, we're going to release it.
09:11So, I think that is the…
09:12part of the film is the film on film.
09:13The film is so far,
09:14it isn't part of the film.
09:15Out of the film,
09:16we're talking about this film.
09:17Now, we're going to watch it and watch it again.
09:20We want to take our children and take them to the ends of the film.
09:22We're going to take our children
09:23and take our families.
09:24We're going to get them at the end.
09:25And the point of the film as a to the end.
09:26When we're not understood,
09:27we're about to take what we watched at the end of the time.
09:29My parents say,
09:30Amur, you said that it was delayed the film. Why did it delay in 4 years?
09:37The date combination of all artists, the main problem is that all artists were big.
09:44Aamir, Sanman, Raveena, Karishma, Parish, Pariji.
09:49They had just started, Karishma and Raveena had just started.
09:51And Rajkumar Zantushi.
09:53And Rajkumar Zantushi.
09:54They put their picture on the floor as a producer-director himself.
09:58And Damini, he finished.
10:00There was a bit of a sideline.
10:02Damini released.
10:04And Damini released.
10:06And Damini announced.
10:07After that, he completed his dream.
10:09After that, he completed his dream.
10:10Because his dream had already started.
10:12But after that, Damini was ready and released.
10:15Then he opened his other production company.
10:18And he was starting a film with Meenakshi Cheshadri Ji.
10:22But he didn't make the film.
10:24And then finally, Salman stood for us.
10:27Definitely.
10:28And told everyone that let's just finish this film.
10:31It's already four years in the making.
10:33I think that a lot of people, a lot of people thought that this film won't be complete.
10:38But Afad, Papa, was so sure that any film won't be able to leave Adhura.
10:48So, he also knew what film was.
10:52Aamir Khan and Salman Khan.
10:53Actually, Papa, when he thought about the film, Salim uncle, Salman sir's father, he had told Papa.
11:02He had told Papa.
11:03He said that you will make a film.
11:06Salman will film.
11:07We will support you.
11:09So, when the film started, Raj Ji was signed later.
11:12And then Aamir Bhai came and said that we will both do a film.
11:16And Aamir Bhai suggested that Raj Santoshikani.
11:19That was the film that Ghaayal was a good director.
11:20We are looking for the director.
11:21And then Papa was a great film.
11:22And then Papa was a great film.
11:23Basically, Dharmedra Uncle introduced Raj Ji to that.
11:24Because Dharmedra Uncle was very fond of Papa.
11:26People always met him in sunny super sounds.
11:42So Papa, when he met Raj Ji, Raj Ji said that Aamir Bhai is signed to Salman sir.
11:51So you want to make two films. So Papa said, no, I want to make one film and that is how he
11:58So story screenplay, he had it ready? No, no, no. So they decided, because they had
12:05the film at that time, it was an action film, a drama. So Papa said, you should make a film
12:11where you can watch all of them. And then comedy was planned. And then the story was written
12:18and you know, all of them have made this film, including the actors.
12:25So story screenplay? Rad Santoshis. And dialogue was written with Dilip Shukla.
12:37Your father Vinay Sina was the sole producer. Is the sole producer. No, in his lifetime.
12:44He was the sole owner of Andaz Apna Apna. It is not Rajkumar Santoshi. Not at all.
12:49Not at all. It is not Aamir Khan. Not at all.
12:51But Aamir was an actor. How would he ever know? He was never a producer.
12:54No, because I asked this question, because we have heard a lot about Aamir Khan and Raj Santoshi
13:03– I wonder if you're going to have an actor who's going to be a sequel.
13:04– I mean, I think… – They are very…
13:05– I didn't know in the exciting the… – So they're very excited.
13:06– I mean, that is thing. I think… – I mean there's something
13:07like a movie. We've been hearing about it. I think…
13:08– No, I think… – I mean…
13:10– No, I think… – I think…
13:11– I mean… – I hope that I have taken a tour into two, two.
13:12– We are always just thinking. – Yes, I don't know.
13:13– Of course we are always talking about that.
13:14We are always talking about that.
13:15– So, Aamir Khan… – I think… – I think…
13:16– I guess… I think…
13:17So I thought maybe Santoshi ji had the rights, maybe Aamir had the rights.
13:25So Aamir bhai had the last birthday in his last birthday and we are very excited about it.
13:38But I do want to tell you that in Papa's lifetime, for the longest time, Raj ji and Papa, they kept on talking about a sequel.
13:52For the longest time.
13:54There was some part in your father's mind.
13:58No, there was no part in the contract.
14:01On and off, on and off meeting many times.
14:06Many times in the meeting, we both have been able to do it.
14:10And there was a lot of time that we had to do it.
14:13We will do it.
14:14We will do it.
14:15We will do it.
14:16We will do it.
14:17We will do it.
14:18Then we will do it.
14:19But in 26 years, because in 1994 it was released.
14:23Your father ji was just before the pandemic.
14:27Sorry about that.
14:29Yeah.
14:30But in January 2020.
14:32So that means 26 years?
14:34No.
14:35About 10 years.
14:3610-12 years.
14:37No.
14:38What I mean is that after 26 years, there was no sequel.
14:40And that announced too.
14:42Because we did not think very well.
14:44So I think that we thought about this sequel, Raj ji.
14:50And we talked about it.
14:53And Raj ji said, I am writing, I am writing, I am writing.
14:57But there was nothing.
14:59So this is not the answer that Raj ji can give.
15:02Why did it not happen in my dad's life time?
15:04Why did it not happen?
15:05Why did it not happen in our dad's life time?
15:06Why did it not happen in our dad's life time?
15:07Because we have already prepared an agreement.
15:09And we talked about it.
15:10And it was going on in agreement.
15:12There are many chats also on our phones.
15:15So it is not like that we talked about.
15:17Yes, there was email and their lawyers were also talking about it.
15:21So this was set that this picture will be made that we will produce and will direct Radji.
15:28It was clear that we wanted to go through.
15:31So you have talked about this?
15:33We talked about the agreements.
15:34It means that it is dedicated to our family and after that?
15:37After that, they told us that we wanted to do this.
15:41Let's do the truth and we went to meet them.
15:44And they said, okay, let's talk about it.
15:47That what Papa promised me, I will continue with the children.
15:51I will keep up to my promise.
15:53Okay, okay.
15:54And then he said, yes.
15:55Then he talked about it and then the thing stopped.
15:59Now the thing is that the thing stopped, we also stepped back.
16:04And we also said, okay, let's think it over.
16:07Okay, for us it was re-releasing this film and then talking about it.
16:11Then talking about the film.
16:12So if we have to talk about it, then it will be re-release.
16:16Because right now it is the biggest thing that we have re-release.
16:20And this is a tribute from all of us to our father.
16:24He would have been so happy.
16:27And this idea of re-release came from Salman.
16:31I was doing a film called Ready with him as an executive producer and we were shooting in Sri Lanka.
16:39So they started asking, what are you thinking about?
16:41And then I said, we are thinking about a sequel or something.
16:45I said, don't talk about the sequel.
16:47How much will it be?
16:48Either you will get something or I will get something.
16:50Why don't you re-release the film first?
16:52Okay.
16:53And then think about a sequel or whatever.
16:54Do it in Dolby.
16:55Do it in Dolby.
16:56Because there was a mono sound.
16:57Correct.
16:58And I said, okay, I will go and speak to Papa.
16:59So he said, yeah, you must speak with Vinay Ji on this.
17:01He said, Salman has said.
17:02And then I came to Papa and I said, Salman is talking to him.
17:12So he said, okay, let's think.
17:15And then he started on the remastering and scanning the film in 4K.
17:21So what happened in the 4K?
17:23Yes.
17:24It's all been done now.
17:26But remastering was done now.
17:29But all that was your lifetime.
17:31he was very particular about keeping his IP and negatives really really carefully
17:39because I know that so many producers, a lot of producers have lost their negatives
17:45I know that many people have lost their negatives
17:47but Papa has kept them, I don't want to mention
17:53where the negatives have kept them, initially they have made a trade mark
18:05he said Papa was very careful, he was very particular about all these things
18:09that legally should be correct
18:12he always wanted to pass on that legacy to his children
18:18so he was very particular about that, nobody steals it from him
18:22so negatives, also the negatives, they have to wind, rewind, properly maintain, chemicals
18:30all that technical thing, when we joined Papa, they did everything
18:37it's something we have taken forward, it's not that we have learned from him
18:41and taken it forward, it's not that we are doing it on our own
18:44he said this is how you treat your property, he used to say
18:46it's like your home, it's like your IPR, it's like your IPR
18:49so that means that in those days, when someone doesn't talk about IPR
18:54in those days, when someone doesn't talk about IPR, at that time, at that time, he was particular
18:58also Papa was Vice President at the IMPA, I think these things were discussed with producers
19:05I think a lot of producers, I think a lot of producers came in the future
19:09Papa was in the censor board for many years, you know, over 40 years, 38, 40 years
19:13he was in the censor board as a member
19:15so I think that it came from there, in an atmosphere where about how to safeguard not only for him
19:22how to protect your rights
19:24protect your property
19:25with everybody, yeah, with everybody, they must be discussing as producers in the association
19:30and I think that sort of, yeah, yeah, experience
19:34so let me just put it this way
19:361994, May Andaz Apna Apna Aai
19:40it didn't do too well because it had its problems
19:43it was also very delayed, which you mentioned
19:47but it's taken you 26, it took 26 years for your father not to make another movie after that
19:54so you know, when we discussed this
19:57like I said that we were with Raj Ji, because Papa said that Raj Ji should be the film
20:04he said that he should be the film
20:05but he should be the film
20:07we can talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and everything
20:10we can do everything
20:11but the picture should be made
20:13we should not have thought
20:15we should not have thought
20:16but the film for whatever reason
20:19Raj Ji is thinking that I will write
20:21I will write
20:22I will write
20:23I will write
20:24I will write
20:25I will write
20:26so that did not happen
20:27and Papa was very clear
20:29he said that if the film is going to make a sequel
20:32it will be good
20:33but it will not be made
20:34it will be made
20:35it will be made
20:36it's life
20:38it just happened
20:39it just happened that it's so amazing film
20:41that people all over the world
20:43not only in India
20:44but all over the world
21:11He was very, very emotional on this film, because you have to understand that Papa made a lot of pictures, TV, web series, but he was only with Chorpulis.
21:29Chorpulis, Ameer Admi Garibadmi, he made a Bhojpuri film, Godana, Abhi Tomei Jawaan, who was a video film, then Naseeb, David.
21:38So these are the films that Papa produced. And andaz apna apna kisamai kaafi hardships ai Papa ko.
21:45So because of that he was too emotional on the film and he said, I will take this only forward, since this film has a cult following and I want to make a sequel to this.
21:54So that is why the talks were on with Rajji always. And Rajji always kept on coming back, he visited us, we visited him.
22:01But these are the lingers of the film, we understand.
22:04So why did you re-release decision you made?
22:09So actually, after the release of Papa, suddenly Papa passed on. And Covid got started.
22:21Covid.
22:22Covid, we worked on the Great Indian Murder, as you know, we shooted.
22:26It was a very good series.
22:29The Great Indian Murder.
22:31So we released it on Disney Hotstar.
22:34And it was three of them?
22:37We produced.
22:38We produced.
22:39There is a company called Real Life Entertainment.
22:40We are all part of that company.
22:41Some three of them produced.
22:43Ajay Devgan, he is our business partner.
22:46Right.
22:47And he produced it with us.
22:49And we released it in 2022.
22:54After that we started work on a couple of projects.
22:58And yes, Andaz Apna Apna was one of them.
23:00We did talk to Raj ji.
23:02And since the last six months, I think, about Raj ji.
23:07Raj ji actually was very busy suddenly.
23:10And he was in the promotion of Lahore.
23:12Lahore.
23:13Lahore.
23:14Lahore.
23:15Lahore.
23:16Lahore.
23:17Lahore.
23:18Lahore.
23:19Lahore.
23:20Lahore.
23:21Lahore.
23:22Lahore.
23:23Lahore.
23:24Lahore.
23:25Lahore.
23:26Lahore.
23:27Lahore.
23:28Lahore.
23:29Lahore.
23:30Lahore.
23:31Thank you, JAMES.
23:32Fl fuse.
23:33To him.
23:34His ex beiebeest shooting, another patented shooting.
23:36Yes.
23:37He did not come forward on the promotional aspect.
23:38I called upon this day as to them.
23:39Also.
23:40I called them encourage them, someone ge- 검 Dimashkin, just showed me a video bite,
23:42, and put the picture that is releasing.
23:44So I am waiting for his, reply.
23:46During Andaz Apna Apna release, there was nobody for the premiere.
23:50None of them came, may be everyone was too busy.
23:52You?
23:53Salman Amir Bahai and Salman Sir were shooting, that was really saying.
23:56ת zust, they were out of town.
23:58She didn't come. Again, only Meenakshi Sheshadri Ji had come.
24:01Yes, she had come.
24:03What about Raveena and Karishma?
24:06They were also not there.
24:08I think they've all... See what happened now.
24:10When Papa signed them,
24:12Papa signed them all.
24:14So, Amir Bhai and Salman were already big stars.
24:18But Raveena and Karishma,
24:20they were beginning of their career.
24:22But because they were so delayed,
24:24they were busy.
24:26And so many films were signed.
24:28You know, Raveena and Karishma became
24:30huge stars after that.
24:32Of their times, 90s.
24:34Parej Ji, Shakti,
24:36everybody was busy.
24:38Nobody was around.
24:40Amod, you tell me,
24:42it was so delayed.
24:44Even the release,
24:46that Papa said,
24:48how much do I hold on to this film?
24:50So, about this re-release,
24:52when are we going to release?
24:5425 April.
24:5625 April.
24:5725 April.
24:58Just around the corner.
25:00Okay.
25:01So, why did you make this decision,
25:02to re-release the picture?
25:04One.
25:05The other thing,
25:06I have heard that,
25:08you have put money in the re-release.
25:11Yes.
25:12Correct.
25:13So,
25:14correct.
25:15Direct.
25:16Direct.
25:17So,
25:18why would you put money into it?
25:20So,
25:21because this is restored,
25:23and this is a doll too.
25:25If you look at the colors,
25:27you will understand that this is a new film,
25:29which is in theaters.
25:30Fresh.
25:31Fresh.
25:32Amir Bhai and Salman are looking like,
25:35the true heartthrob that they are.
25:37They were 29 years old at that time.
25:39And now they still are in this movie.
25:40They still are in this movie.
25:41For the film.
25:42For the film.
25:45And,
25:46when we watched the film,
25:48we said,
25:49this is a new film,
25:51which,
25:52for whatever reason,
25:55we will try it.
25:57So,
25:58we have a promotional activity,
26:00and thankfully,
26:01Amir Bhai,
26:02Salman sir,
26:03has supported a lot.
26:04I must tell you,
26:05he has been so so wonderful,
26:06and so loving to us.
26:07He is a very big support to us.
26:09And,
26:10we are very thankful to him.
26:12He has said,
26:13I will do it.
26:15But,
26:17Aamir Bhai,
26:18when we met him,
26:20of course...
26:22He was very excited about the release.
26:24We both saw it.
26:26And,
26:27he said,
26:28I will do it.
26:29And,
26:30we told him,
26:31you know,
26:32I will come.
26:33Like this.
26:34So,
26:35he was very happy about that.
26:37We have requested Salman sir that you have to look for a little bit, we want to call
26:51a family of cast and crew.
26:54We don't want to call.
26:56We have a restricted premiere and now it is not 100 but it is not 100 but it is not 100 but
27:03it is not 100 but it is not 100 but we have a confirmation that we have planned the premiere
27:06and the date will change before the re-release.
27:10So like you said we have put these all money, we have made assets.
27:15And we have made many years, we all say you are not re-release and how can we do this?
27:22I mean we watch it on these small screens, we don't have fun.
27:26So we have been working for years and we thought that we should re-release.
27:31But we have done it first and then we have done it.
27:34So that was taking its own place.
27:37So you have done all the sound, colour and modernised.
27:41Modernised.
27:42So what we mean is that, when it comes to promotional activity, we try it best that because we
27:49are having a slighty bigger release then most re-releases that every corner of the country
27:54does details that events he is Menu on 25th of April.
27:58So it is important, because we are standing in Bombay and think and everyone know it.
28:03But it is not true.
28:05I realized that my cousin told me that he's going to see it and he asked me, what is it?
28:12I said, what is it?
28:14I said, what is it?
28:16I said, what is it?
28:18We are going to put hoardings.
28:21We are going to put hoardings.
28:24We will put hoardings through social media.
28:28We have brought brand partners.
28:334-5, our radio partners.
28:36So that this news goes.
28:38When the release date comes, we will push more.
28:41We will push a lot.
28:42And video bites too.
28:43Aamir, Salman.
28:45But Amod, tell me something.
28:47You have got social media, you have got Salman Khan, you have got Aamir Khan.
28:55These people are giving you some bites.
28:57But you are not using them for promotion to come and meet people and talk about it.
29:04They are not all out promotion?
29:08No.
29:09That we decided against.
29:10That we decided against.
29:11Is that because, abhi joe sixty years mein dikhte hai, woe twenty-nine lumai dikhte hai?
29:16No.
29:17No.
29:18No.
29:19No.
29:20No.
29:21No.
29:22No.
29:23No.
29:24No.
29:25No.
29:26No.
29:27No.
29:28No.
29:29No.
29:30No.
29:31No.
29:32How are you?
29:34No.
29:35No.
29:36No.
29:37I did not.
29:38Do not put up any kind.
29:39Almost news points already.
29:42So, we actually thought about online press conference in peace of hotline, but when we
29:50said that the two of us have discussed these things that the things are necessary is the
29:55problem that the first thing meant for Salmane.
29:56We didn't have discussed this because we thought that these video bites or their posts are coming out of the premiere.
30:04This film is from 30 years in our mind.
30:09So, we don't have to advertise it.
30:12We don't have to advertise it.
30:14I think that decision was taken.
30:16When all artists have a positive response and encouraging feedback, we thought that is more than enough.
30:26People are looking forward.
30:28So, Raj Santoshi is not part of the promotion.
30:31We have requested him to post everything but he has not done anything.
30:35I don't know.
30:36Maybe he is very busy.
30:37That's why he is not doing it.
30:38I don't know why.
30:39Or maybe he is not very media savvy.
30:42As you age, I think you become a little…
30:47So, if you are talking about age, are you going to have Santoshi Ji on board as the director of the sequel?
30:53We don't know.
30:54At the moment, we are just concentrating on our…
30:57We don't know right now.
30:58Post that, then we will all meet up and then see how it goes.
31:01We haven't decided.
31:02We haven't decided.
31:04This is the truth.
31:05I mean, everyone can say, Amir Baind can say, they are writing.
31:09They are writing everything.
31:10But, if producers officially announce, then there is no picture.
31:14There is only talk.
31:16So, when we come back to the re-release, what do you think?
31:21Right now, a lot of film has been re-release.
31:25In that, not everything has done well.
31:27Yes.
31:28But, not all of them have done well.
31:29Actually, Rakesh Roshan's film was released when they released it.
31:41So, what are your expectations of Handa's after the re-release?
31:46And, second, do you think, that today, there is a little bit of Salman Khan's market.
31:53So, I don't think…
31:55Especially after Sikandar and all that.
31:57No, I don't think so.
31:58People are a little fed up of it.
31:59No, I don't think so.
32:00No, I don't think so.
32:01And, Amir Khan's Dungal was 2018 or 2019.
32:04So, if it's a cult film, people have loved your film, liked your film.
32:16So, you don't think that these two films are your hands.
32:19Yes.
32:20Salman Khan and Amir Khan.
32:21If both market are down now.
32:24So, do you think that…
32:25This film will do a person.
32:27Okay, that's…
32:28No, but I…
32:29That's wonderful.
32:30Wonderful.
32:31Because they are looking so good in it.
32:33Yes.
32:34They are looking so good in it.
32:35People still love Salman like how?
32:38I've been going through all Twitter messages and all.
32:41It's just that maybe the film has not worked for him.
32:44But the love for him has not stopped his fans.
32:46Okay.
32:47That is a fact.
32:48That's a fact.
32:49That is a fact.
32:50So, I am a huge fan of Salman, sir.
32:53And, I feel that he…
32:56You know, some actors never get old.
32:59They never get boring.
33:01They always are going to do well.
33:03I think that with Salman, that is the thing.
33:05With all his fans.
33:06So, I don't think that…
33:07He has a great heart.
33:08Yeah.
33:09I think…
33:10No, that is one thing.
33:11No, that is one thing.
33:12No, that is one thing.
33:13True.
33:14It's one thing.
33:15It's one thing.
33:16It's one thing.
33:17It's one thing.
33:18It's one thing.
33:19It's one thing.
33:20It's one thing.
33:21So…
33:22The love for him has not stopped.
33:24But that hasn't translated into box office.
33:27Maybe because that…
33:28So, I want to…
33:29So, we watched Sikandar, the first day.
33:32And…
33:33I…
33:34You know, because we are fans.
33:35I'm talking about his fans.
33:36Yes.
33:37I'm not talking about people who critically look at films.
33:39I'm talking about people like us who are the audience.
33:41When we saw the film…
33:42We are the audience.
33:43Yes.
33:44And ma'am, but you are also…
33:47You are a very, very huge critic and a media celebrity.
33:54But…
33:55When we watched that film…
33:57Media person.
33:58Sorry.
33:59When we watched that film…
34:02And I mentioned this to Salman sir.
34:05That he is larger than life.
34:07When he comes on the screen, the screen lights up.
34:10I think…
34:11We have discussed this before also.
34:13That…
34:14And I think that…
34:15That…
34:16Actually…
34:17Shows his stardom.
34:18Toh…
34:19Agar do filme or chaar filme nahi chali.
34:22But he has been working for the last 35 years.
34:25And he has given so many hits.
34:27You cannot…
34:28Just write them off.
34:29You know…
34:30You put aside his stardom.
34:31Or…
34:32The kind of films he has done.
34:33Because of one film.
34:34Or the excitement that his fans have.
34:36Over these few films…
34:38That might not have done well.
34:40I feel that.
34:41Having said that…
34:42I think Andaz Apna Apna…
34:44Is the film where Preem's character…
34:46Has been loved the most.
34:48One of the radio stations…
34:50Did a reel.
34:51And…
34:52And…
34:53Usmein sab keh rahe the…
34:54Oh we love Preem.
34:55Oh we love Preem.
34:56Toh…
34:57Wo ladki nahi kaha jo…
34:58Sorry jo…
34:59Arjay.
35:00Arjay nahi kaha ki…
35:02Nobody loves Hummer.
35:03Everybody is talking about Preem.
35:05And…
35:06What I am trying to say…
35:07Is that…
35:08That is the love…
35:09That character…
35:10That is the love…
35:11That is the love…
35:12That Salman sir has.
35:13People have for him.
35:15I liked what he said…
35:16That…
35:17Maybe this is the film…
35:18That is going to bring both of them…
35:19Back to their popularity.
35:21Yeah.
35:22Yeah.
35:23You just never know.
35:24Why not?
35:25Yeah.
35:26We are…
35:27Hoping…
35:28Praying…
35:29And asking for blessings…
35:30And…
35:31Please…
35:32Look at the picture…
35:33Look at the picture…
35:34So…
35:35You both…
35:36Promotion…
35:37Because…
35:39You don't want to…
35:40Promoting…
35:41They are promoting…
35:42Promoting…
35:43But…
35:44Social media…
35:45But…
35:46I have said…
35:47Parish Ji…
35:48You know…
35:49The advice that we have been given…
35:50To…
35:51We are taking advice…
35:52That…
35:53What will happen…
35:54What will happen…
35:55What will happen…
35:56What will happen…
35:57What will happen…
35:58In addition…
35:59So…
36:00This is…
36:01Is…
36:02This is the answer…
36:03That…
36:04That…
36:05It is not that…
36:06That…
36:07You don't have a problem…
36:08That…
36:09You…
36:10If someone…
36:11You don't have to ask…
36:12They don't have to ask…
36:13What else…
36:14They don't have to ask…
36:15What is this…
36:16They don't have to ask…
36:18This…
36:19That…
36:20You…
36:21And…
36:22You…
36:23So….
36:24Okay…
36:25You…
36:26He's already put he's a trailer only post key and not retweet care video by
36:38bearing or my brother is our brother rather and his family or just not
36:45I didn't actually kaha key do support to him but I don't know I did they've good
36:51question why not happen in your mind when you make a sequel like we said
36:57you can't even think about it
37:01actually we have never thought about it
37:05you are saying today
37:07he's an amazing actor he's a rock star but everything but we have never thought about it
37:16because I think I think actually could be a first time to sum it up you you feel
37:29there was a perception that and does up now was did not do well in 1994 Lakin was
37:36say about me hey did all right yes yeah but it has been appreciated a lot over
37:42the years cult film bengi and april re-release karray ho april 25th 25th
37:50go and you are you have worked on the re-release yes
37:55up news go mastering kia hito color sound was a modern hoga so joe up ko tt me
38:03name in my village so there is a lot of reason to go to the theater and watch it
38:08watch it with your family and family and friends and your heroes are with you
38:16yes they're by your side yeah to this day yeah now let's come to the sequel are you
38:23planning a sequel yes yes definitely yes we are the ipr stays with you yes with the
38:29vinagis 100% and we will continue with yes that would you don't have a partner no
38:33no no Rajkumar santoshi nobody owns it you have not sold it to anybody not at all okay and I don't
38:38think so they will ever I've been asked for that I don't think so that much respect
38:42you are talking about making a sequel maybe they are just very excited
38:47So we have actually a news that we have asked about a sequel, as if we are so excited, actually
38:57the actors and directors, so we have to talk about the release of them and then we can
39:04take it forward.
39:05But you must have worked on a sequel already, some work has already been done, some work
39:11is done.
39:12Some work is done.
39:13There must be a germ of an idea.
39:20So are you getting the same team back on board?
39:26Or will you get a completely fresh team on board?
39:31So we would not like to comment on that at this moment.
39:36And we can all again sit with you when the film will be released and hopefully you will
39:43be meeting us and saying, hey, it was good, you have re-release it and see what happened.
39:47So after that I think we would like to talk about it.
39:50But we are very clear and sure that we are definitely going to be doing Andazat Natna too.
39:55We will be producing it.
39:56But who you are going to make it with?
39:57Yes.
39:58Who will work in it?
39:59Yes.
40:00We will be speaking post.
40:01We will be speaking post.
40:02We will be speaking post.
40:03There is work going on but we will post.
40:04And you will have that kind of unique music in it?
40:05Or you are not sure?
40:06You are not sure.
40:07Let's give it to the director.
40:08But it has to be different than the usual ones.
40:09Yeah.
40:10Did you think the music was unique?
40:11I wanted to ask you that question.
40:12It was unique in its time but it didn't work in its time.
40:13Yeah.
40:14In a good way.
40:15So it didn't work on that time.
40:16It didn't work.
40:17It was unique but it didn't work.
40:18But it grew because of the film.
40:19But it grew because of the film.
40:20So in Sadidya.

41:03But we have put some slates that are censored, and in that slate, the new team has remastered
41:12all of us, for the re-release, we have put a song from the album which was not used in
41:19the film.
41:20So that is, that is, that is, that is, and it is, it is.
41:26What about your heroines, Karusma and Raveena Tandon, are you in touch with them, will they
41:31promote?
41:32In social media?
41:33So, Karusma and Raveena, I think she has already posted a poster, actually we haven't spoken
41:42yet to everybody.
41:43But your relationship was done with Raveena.
41:45Madam, I won't say anything.
41:47I mean, when she was the best of friends, she remains a good friend, and I truly wish
42:00her well, and I know she feels the same.
42:03We, we were best friends, and whatever happened was a personal issue.
42:10You had a fallout, a personal fallout.
42:11Yeah, it was a personal issue.
42:12We were childhood friends.
42:13And after that, so much has happened in both our lives separately.
42:19Right.
42:20So, there is nothing really to say about that.
42:27But, where it comes to promote the film, I have not asked her yet.
42:33No, we have not asked her yet.
42:34It's got nothing to do with her.
42:35I am sure if I ask her, she will.
42:36I am going to ask her to come for the premiere.
42:40So, that's one thing.
42:41And the rest of the promotion, when we were talking about that, we would concentrate on
42:54Amir Bhai and Salman, sir.
42:55Yeah, because they were more…
42:57But, I think, if it comes to four, it will be very good with Parish Ravan.
43:02Yes, definitely.
43:03For the premiere, you mean?
43:04For the premiere.
43:05Yeah, yeah, yeah.
43:06So, it will be a good visual.
43:07It's not just about two actors as I do.
43:09So, Parish, Parish Ji said that I don't want to go to the premiere.
43:13I don't want to go to the premiere.
43:16I don't want to go to the premiere.
43:17Along with Crime Master Guru.
43:18You don't want to call Shakti ji.
43:19You should also call Shakti ji.
43:20Yes, yes.
43:21Yes, yes, yes.
43:22So, actually…
43:23You should call Shakti ji.
43:24Yes, yes.
43:25Yes, yes, yes.
43:26So, actually…
43:27You should call Shakti ji.
43:28We are calling the entire cast.
43:30It's not like we are going to avoid anybody.
43:31We have to call them.
43:32I know Salman Khan has some security problems.
43:33But if you will have limited release, then it will come.
43:34Limited premiere.
43:35Yeah, limited, sorry.
43:36Restricted entry for the premiere.
43:37Restricted entry you will have to come.
43:38So, we are looking at the premiere.
43:39So, if you will have limited release, then it will come.
43:41Limited premiere.
43:42Yeah, yeah.
43:43Limited, sorry.
43:44So, we are looking at that.
43:45That is being discussed right now.
43:46Premiere, I think, is happening.
43:47You know, we just close everything.
43:48Everything has come all together.
43:49Yeah.
43:50And everything, yes, to answer your question.
43:51That yes, Raveena, we haven't done a lot with the girls.
43:52But for the premiere…
43:53You will have also.
43:54We will invite her and Karishma.
43:55If all goes well, they will be there.
43:56But after they see this podcast, they would have to do it on their own side.
43:57And the picture is all done.
43:58I agree.
43:59Don't you think so?
44:00Yes.
44:01The film belongs to all four of them.
44:02And to the characters.
44:03With your picture, you can't put it in the picture, you are still alive.
44:04You will have your fans.
44:05They want to see you.
44:06So you should do it for them.
44:07Yeah.
44:08Actually, I know we're still here.
44:09And we'll have to do it with the girls.
44:10But for the premiere, we will have all four.
44:11We will invite her and Karishma.
44:12If all goes well.
44:13After they see this podcast, they would have to do it in their own side.
44:16And the picture is all done.
44:18I agree.
44:19Don't you think so?
44:20Yes.
44:21If you have all four of them.
44:22If you have all four of them and the character.
44:24Then you can't write it on the picture.
44:25You can't write it, you will stay in your life, you are your fans, they want to see you, so you should do it for them.
44:32Actually we did mention this to everybody we reached out to, that this is as much your film as it is ours, or my father's, our father's really.
44:41We have told them that, you know, when Amir Bhai's retrospective was happening,
44:47so when they reached out to us, you know, you want your film, we said that it's okay, but we are releasing it.
44:56But we thought that we will give at least one show, but not two shows.
45:02When Amir Bhai's team told us that you can also give it,
45:07so you don't want to say that, you are Amir Bhai's film, how can you do this?
45:12So whatever we could do, in fact Amir Bhai said,
45:16I don't want to give it much, so he said, no, no, I understand, it's your release, I understand.
45:21Both these shows were super full houses.
45:26They were ticketed, and I want to mention one thing, that re-release ticket prices are low,
45:34because we want fans to come for the love of the film,
45:37we have not kept much ticket prices, Cinepolis is our distributor.
45:42All theatres are releasing, PVR, Miraj, all theatre chains are releasing,
45:47but we have kept the price of tickets low.
45:51And we hope that people, you know, go for the love of the film.
45:55We want the families to go in, for the love of the film.
45:57Yes.
45:58So Amodh, and Priti, and Namrata, I will ask you three questions.
46:05Do you think, after the re-release, the perception of the picture, that it didn't work, that will change?
46:12Yes.
46:13Hundred percent.
46:14Hundred percent.
46:15Thousand percent, I can say.
46:16We are very hopeful, and we know that the people will give them a lot of love.
46:24You know, there are a lot of blessings from Papa.
46:27Yeah.
46:28And we feel it all the time.
46:30And we know that people love the film.
46:34So, let's see.
46:35They will come to the theatres.
46:36Vinny Ji, this is for you.
46:42Thank you so much.
