00:00 We started with Arun Govind in Badal and from Badal we picked him up for Vikram Vethal to
00:14 Ramayan.
00:15 So all, just dedication of Dara Singh.
00:22 I would say his dedication to...
00:24 As Hanumanji.
00:25 As Hanumanji.
00:26 And dedication means to what extent.
00:30 His makeup took 3-4 hours.
00:36 It was, you know, the rubber had to be molded and it had to be galvanized and all that.
00:42 At that time there were no prosthetics.
00:45 So fixing his makeup, matching it and all that.
00:49 We are talking about 50 years ago.
00:50 You are speaking about...
00:51 More than 40 years.
00:52 30-36 years ago.
00:53 Yeah, that time there was none.
00:59 Then his tail.
01:00 Now that the tail is there, where will he sit?
01:05 It's easy to say.
01:06 He can sit on a chair with his tail.
01:09 He had a special stool made for him in which there was a cut in the back.
01:13 He could have kept his tail here.
01:16 You see, all problems with the foot.
01:19 Once the mold was applied, where will he eat?
01:27 And he had his makeup done 3 hours ago.
01:30 So for about 8-9 hours the man could not eat anything.
01:35 What was his dedication?
01:37 And Papaji was also amazing.
01:40 Because he worked like a madman.
01:43 If there was a scene at night, the dialogue had changed, he would get up at 3 o'clock.
01:50 "Hey, wake everyone up.
01:51 Why?
01:52 We have to shoot in an hour."
01:54 So the camera would be on at 4 o'clock.
01:58 It was a 24-7 process.
02:01 Because all of you stayed there at Umargaon.
02:03 There was no alternative.
02:05 You think it could be made without that?
02:10 It was not possible.
02:12 So all of you lived in Umargaon and you lived with the Ramayana 24-7.
02:19 That's how you…
02:20 It was more than lived with the Ramayana.
02:22 It was only Ramayana.
02:25 And all the time we were only with Ramayana and things like that.
02:31 And what miracles we used to have.
02:35 When Ramayana…
02:36 I remember, 4 buses came from Vijaywada.
02:39 What?
02:40 We didn't sleep for 2 days and we had to take the children to see the Ramayana.
02:48 60-80 people.
02:49 But such a human angle.
02:50 We didn't even drink water.
02:51 The children didn't even drink milk.
02:52 And we didn't have a single room in Umargaon.
02:53 Where would we keep them?
02:54 So we kept them outside the studio in the buses.
02:55 We organized the mattresses, food, water, for their children.
02:56 Ultimately, that was also a miracle.
02:57 So that's how it was.
02:58 And you would have busloads of people coming there.
03:14 Yes.
03:15 And VIPs.
03:16 Rajmata Sindhiya came.
03:17 Now, that half an hour or one hour that went, we are working 24-7.
03:27 I don't have that one hour for a VIP.
03:29 That's correct.
03:30 It was a massive problem.
03:34 Time management, people management, it's out of the production.
03:40 We had about 8-9 people, actors, who were paid monthly.
03:46 They were not paid per role.
03:47 Their get-up changed.
03:48 "Chal tu aaj Brahmin man jaa, chal tu aaj…"
