00:00 Piya tu, ab toh aaja
00:04 I have got a real life hero, where will I put him on the screen?
00:08 So, this film, you had done a film before this, but it was released directly on OTT
00:17 But because of this film, and you have worked in so many films, you have worked in Marathi films too, but you wanted to make a film
00:26 Why did you feel this?
00:28 Because I always liked Marathi theatre and Marathi films
00:36 And the subject is good, there are fantastic actors, and different subjects are handled
00:48 And that is what attracted me, and because I am Maharashtrian, I know my culture, my lifestyle, everything that is mine, very closely
00:58 So I felt like making a Marathi film, and making a film, but I did a Marathi film
01:05 Sir, you are releasing this film in theatre
01:13 So, why did you decide to release this film in theatre?
01:20 Because everyone enjoys it
01:24 I was going to release my earlier film in theatre
01:28 At that time, Netflix saw it and they said, I am Jack Lean, you give us the film
01:36 And we thought it will go to another place, it will be a joke
01:39 Because what has happened now is, global cinema has become famous
01:44 Because of OTT, everyone is watching everyone
01:49 Everyone knows that in this pandemic, Korean films, Spanish films, Hindi films, Telugu films, Marathi films, everyone is watching
02:00 So we thought, in the first film, let's increase the audience of our films
02:07 And we got good reactions, and people liked Netflix
02:11 But the problem was, not everyone in our village, distant, last mile, had access to Netflix
02:27 So in this film, we feel, everyone is watching
02:33 Because from the beginning, it is good, but it is an ensemble cast
02:40 They are sitting here in the famous cinema, television, stage
02:47 And our directors, writers, cinematographers, my EP and Dr. Asghar
02:57 They have made such good content
03:02 And for us, this project
03:12 When you are starting your career in making films, and I don't come from this background
03:17 I am very humble in saying, you guys know much more than I do
03:20 But I know good art, and I know creativity
03:24 All these people are on a different level
03:27 My understanding should be seen by everyone
03:32 Because this acting, this framing, this song, everything is well-organized
03:40 And it is fun
03:42 It is like onions, you have to peel one, and there is more in your nose
03:47 And you have to peel one, and there is more in your nose
03:49 And I have seen it 6-7 times now
03:52 And I am learning something every time
03:54 And I have added subtitles, and the language is a little different
03:58 It is a coastal language
04:00 Malwani, Kokani
04:03 And it is fun, I have learnt a little from it
04:07 But it should be like that, and I think everyone should see it
04:11 Ma'am, I have seen in your earlier interviews that you go to your own cinemas and watch your films
04:17 So, will there be theatre visits because of this film?
04:22 Yes, definitely
04:24 Because we have made this film with a lot of love
04:30 And when people watch it
04:36 And you have to laugh and cry with them
04:42 In this film, we have a female producer, a DOP, a production designer
04:53 And 5 amazing actresses
04:56 Is there any special positioning for this women's gang?
05:05 There is a special positioning for women in life
05:09 He is agreeing with me
05:12 Because everyone goes to his room and teases him
05:18 In an Indian society, the woman of the house is always taking care of everything
05:28 And the character of Bharti Ji is always scared of her
05:36 And she is told not to speak in front of her
05:39 And all the characters are very relatable
05:41 I remember my uncle was like this, or my grandmother was like this
05:48 Or my cousin was like this
05:50 So everyone has relatable characters
05:53 And all the women in the film are very strong
05:57 Now some rapid fire questions
06:03 But have you ever faced any problem because of your smile?
06:09 Not because of my smile, but I used to sit with my mother and sing
06:19 Sometimes I used to sing classical songs with her
06:23 She had been to her Guruji's house and I had been there too
06:28 And she said, "My daughter sings well"
06:33 I asked her what she sings
06:35 She said, "She sings classical songs"
06:37 She used to sit with me and sing
06:39 I was 4-5 years old then
06:41 My mother said, "Come on, sing for us"
06:43 I said, "What should I sing?"
06:45 She said, "Sing anything"
06:47 "Any song, whatever song you like"
06:50 So I started
06:53 "Piya tu ab tu aaja"
06:57 My mother said, "I have never been so ashamed"
07:02 Let's say you are the heroine and Sir is the hero
07:11 Which film would you like to work in?
07:15 I have got a real life hero, where is he?
07:20 I have a real life hero
07:23 Art imitates life, life imitates art
07:27 We live in the same way, you live in a different way
07:30 Sir, does he dance with you?
07:55 Yes, he does
07:57 His Marathi is very interesting
08:02 Can you imitate him?
08:05 I will have to listen to it later
08:09 Everything is our life
08:19 We understand each other
08:25 I was about to say that
08:28 Sir, I have two questions for you

08:47 I have not seen many dialogues there
