00:00 I have a problem with you
00:02 I said damn
00:04 Tell me sir
00:06 Farre is a very beautiful film
00:08 And those kids
00:10 I'm actually pleasantly shocked
00:12 How such young people can put in performances like this
00:18 He has a bloody elephant memory
00:20 He's so sharp my god
00:22 He doesn't forgive, forget
00:24 He forgave me
00:26 He forgave me
00:28 I'm happy with this
00:30 And those girls and those people
00:32 And the car would just not
00:34 They would not let it move
00:36 And I said this is what a star is
00:38 This is what I want
00:40 What was it like working with Rohit
00:48 When both of you were
00:50 Doing all those terrible things in Tamil Nadu
00:56 So we didn't have too many scenes together
00:58 If you see the film
01:02 We did spend time on the set
01:06 Unfortunately we didn't have
01:12 One scene I'm there
01:14 He's leaving and then I'm going to save him
01:16 And he's dead
01:18 But of course I mean
01:20 Because we are there in that scene we are not interacting on film
01:22 But you are interacting on set
01:24 You are on the same set
01:26 So it feels good to have your brother in the same film
01:28 Whose idea was it to cast
01:30 Two brothers as the villains
01:32 I'm not sure
01:36 I think probably
01:38 Because he's very good at casting
01:40 I think Gudduji
01:42 And was it a good experience
01:44 Working with Gudduji
01:46 With Gudduji
01:48 Gudduji is a fantastic person
01:50 He's a
01:52 I always say this
01:54 You know whether it's
01:56 Whoever it is
01:58 Salman
02:00 You know special
02:02 People are special because they have
02:04 That special quality in them
02:06 That's why they are special
02:08 Otherwise we all work hard and all that
02:10 But they have these very special qualities
02:12 In them
02:14 So what's so special about Gudduji
02:16 Everything about him is special
02:18 I told you right
02:20 And they are all one gang
02:22 They are all one gang
02:24 Jituji, he's a part of one gang
02:26 Yes
02:28 So I was in fact talking to him this morning
02:30 Before I came here
02:32 And Hrithik of course
02:34 Hrithik
02:36 He takes after
02:38 Yeah so
02:40 There's something he
02:42 Again
02:44 Special people have
02:46 Something very special with them
02:48 So
02:50 Now I know him
02:52 Since his first film right
02:54 And I know he's
02:56 Gudduji's son
02:58 But you've been casted in a film
03:00 Where he's the star
03:02 So you don't really know
03:04 What to do so you take the safe route
03:06 No
03:08 So you go and I have no
03:10 So
03:12 Good morning sir
03:14 He's the leader of the film
03:16 The safest way out is to call him
03:18 Sir because with some actors
03:20 You don't know
03:22 I had spent time with him
03:24 But I had never worked with him as an actor
03:26 So I didn't know how
03:28 So one day went by
03:30 The next day we were having lunch
03:32 And there was a knock on my door
03:36 And this guy
03:38 He said
03:40 Hr sir is calling you
03:42 I'm like okay
03:44 What's going on in my head
03:46 What happened did I do something wrong
03:48 Does he want to go over a scene with me
03:50 I said action shoot
03:52 Maybe he wants to discuss some action
03:54 I don't know what's happening
03:56 So I went to his van
03:58 I said may I come in
04:00 He said yeah yeah come
04:02 So his entourage was there
04:04 He said guys can you
04:06 So they went out
04:08 I was like
04:10 What's this
04:12 So he said
04:14 I have a problem with you
04:16 I said damn
04:18 He said
04:20 Tell me sir
04:22 I didn't say anything
04:24 I didn't understand
04:26 This
04:28 You're calling me sir
04:30 This doesn't work with me
04:32 I find it difficult to be your friend if you're calling me sir all the time
04:34 You call me to go
04:36 You used to call me to go
04:38 Why are you suddenly calling me sir
04:40 Yeah
04:42 So it's
04:44 That was nice of him
04:46 It's very nice
04:48 Wonderful
04:50 Were you surprised when he made that comment
04:52 About he'd like his sons to have the kind of bond
04:54 That you and Rohit have
04:56 No I mean
04:58 I was like where did this come from
05:00 Yeah I mean
05:02 It's a
05:04 Obviously if he's noticed something
05:06 So
05:08 That was nice
05:10 So is there any scene
05:12 A film that you
05:14 Find very difficult
05:16 To do
05:18 You found very difficult to do
05:20 No not really
05:22 Because you've been playing characters
05:24 That are not you
05:26 Of course that's what an actor is about
05:28 No not really because
05:30 You know I don't know
05:32 Whether you have
05:34 Time or not
05:36 But this is a very interesting story
05:38 Going back to square one
05:40 Where this
05:42 So yeah
05:44 And then I came and
05:46 My first experience was
05:48 Of a superstar
05:50 Was
05:52 Rajesh Khanna sahab arriving at Sun and Sand
05:54 And
05:56 Sun and Sand from the gate
05:58 To the lobby is
06:00 What 25 meters
06:02 It took him about
06:04 25 minutes to reach
06:06 There for his car to reach there
06:08 That kind of outing
06:10 And I was standing behind the glass there
06:12 And I was looking at him and I was like
06:14 Those girls and those people
06:16 And the car would just not
06:18 They would not let it move
06:20 The banging
06:22 And I said hey Ota hai star
06:24 This is what I want
06:26 Okay
06:28 So I came with the
06:30 Concept
06:32 Of being a hero
06:34 Apne ko hero bannega, apne ko star bannega hai
06:36 And for the longest time
06:38 I played a star
06:40 Ki boss main ko toh jaan terha
06:42 Hum hogaya, super hit hogaya, silver jubilee
06:44 I am a star
06:46 Recent once I got on to
06:48 Television and the second
06:50 Coming so to say
06:52 From there on
06:54 I said boss yeh star baat toh theek hai
06:56 Apne actor hai
06:58 Apne ko actor banna hai
07:00 Toh we should watch
07:02 World work
07:04 By other actors, by directors
07:06 We should read what people have
07:08 To say about acting so I started
07:10 Because I hadn't gone to school
07:12 I started educating myself
07:14 Now over
07:16 These two decades of educating
07:18 Myself you know every actor
07:20 Has a method, whether they know it
07:22 Or they don't know it, they do have a method
07:24 My
07:26 Method is two pronged
07:28 So there is one bookish
07:30 Where I need to
07:32 Write down, I research it
07:34 And I write everything down
07:36 And I create a small
07:38 Little file for it, for the character that you play
07:40 For the character that I am playing
07:42 I fight with most of my directors
07:44 Ki yeh kyu nahi
07:46 Aisa batao, kya hai yeh batao
07:48 I have also done
07:50 Some films where I have not spoken with the
07:52 Director at all, I have done my homework
07:54 And dumped it and surrendered and
07:56 I have written a script, tell me
07:58 Agli was one of that
08:00 Anurag
08:02 But still because you have
08:04 Done so much work on your character
08:06 You know there is clarity
08:08 Ki yeh banda hai
08:10 And then you let the director kind of
08:12 With all that
08:14 Take you, so there is a certain process
08:16 To it, that process
08:18 Makes
08:20 Makes me
08:22 Very confident
08:24 So ki
08:26 But most of my characters start with
08:28 Oh damn
08:30 Yeh kaise karunga yaar, yeh kaise hoga
08:32 So first
08:34 When I listen to the
08:36 When I am listening to the narration
08:38 There is like vivid visuals
08:40 All going on in my head like somebody
08:42 Has made you know some
08:44 Like a part section
08:46 Going on in my head
08:48 Usko fir how
08:50 You know how we take it, we juice it out
08:52 We kind of put it down on paper
08:54 Put a system to it
08:56 So it's not
08:58 Difficult to play a character
09:00 But yeh every character has
09:02 Challenges
09:04 So which, that I think
09:06 That's the job of an actor, I love it
09:08 I love it, I love it
09:10 I am waiting for a film called
09:12 Farre, which is coming
09:14 This, Salman's na, yeh
09:16 It is the exact
09:18 Opposite of Udaan
09:20 Really?
09:22 So the person that you will see in Farre
09:24 Is more of me
09:26 Ronit the real
09:28 Of the real Ronit
09:30 But you do have this very special bond with Salman
09:32 Isn't it?
09:34 Because he's called Rohit
09:36 Your brother, he calls him my bro
09:38 Haan, haan
09:40 So does that spill over to you also
09:42 I mean does he consider you also
09:44 Family and bro
09:46 No no, my bond is much deeper
09:48 Yeah yeah
09:50 We grew up together
09:52 We've grown up together
09:54 We've
09:56 Couple of times we've struggled together
09:58 And
10:00 He was of course very
10:02 Naraz with me for
10:04 Something
10:06 I don't think I ever did that
10:08 I mean it's all clear now
10:10 We're back to being
10:12 He thought you had done something
10:14 He thought
10:16 I don't, let's say I don't
10:18 Remember
10:20 But
10:22 I told him I said I don't remember any such
10:24 Thing and
10:26 If it is true then I'm really sorry
10:28 I don't want to hurt my friend
10:30 Bachpan karta
10:32 So but yeah now
10:34 And
10:36 He's another guy
10:38 If I need, ever need anybody
10:40 I'll call him
10:42 He'll be there
10:44 No doubt
10:46 3 am, 4 am, any am
10:48 And he's one of those very
10:50 Special people, special things
10:52 I've seen him, I've seen him do it
10:54 And the big
10:56 Best thing about him is that when he
10:58 Doesn't let anybody
11:00 Know, he just quietly
11:02 Does
11:04 And he has a bloody elephant's memory
11:06 He's so sharp, my god
11:08 It's amazingly sharp
11:10 He doesn't forgive also
11:12 You forgive me
11:14 You forgive me
11:16 Mere liye itna kaafi hai yaar
11:18 Dostro ka doostre log dekhenge
11:20 My problem is always my reviews
11:22 My reviews naturally
11:24 If I don't like a film they say it
11:26 And that's where my problems always have
11:28 Thing is a little tricky
11:30 Otherwise it's never personal
11:32 It's always a review
11:34 That's where my problem always starts
11:36 But I think he's
11:38 Intelligent enough to understand that
11:40 He's a very nice person
11:42 I just, I like him as a person
11:44 No, I know, I realise
11:46 I've always realised he's an intelligent
11:48 Person and like you say he's got an
11:50 Elephantine memory
11:52 And there's something extremely
11:54 Rare and special about him
11:56 Very nice person
11:58 So the next thing that you need to watch
12:00 Watch out for you is Farre
12:02 Is Farre, yes
12:04 Farre is a very beautiful film
12:06 And those kids
12:08 I'm actually pleasantly shocked
12:10 How
12:12 Such young people can put in
12:14 Performances like this
12:16 And yeah, it's just
12:18 Truly amazing
12:20 So on that note, thank you so much
12:22 Thank you
