00:00Sir, recently a movie came out, Animal, in which Ranbir Kapoor is the hero, but his work is a bit of a villain.
00:06And in that, there are guns, beatings, cars, people liked it too.
00:10And there is also a verse which says that there is a lot of bloodshed, violence, there is a little torture on women.
00:18So this will not send a good message to the society.
00:20You have been such a big villain from the beginning, so you feel that if such a movie comes out,
00:24if there is a lot of violence or action in it, then it has a bad effect on the society,
00:29violence can increase, it can have a bad effect on the audience. Do you agree with this?
00:34No, I have heard what you are saying, I have not seen the film.
00:38You have a little idea.
00:39I have not seen the film.
00:41The scene that I saw in the trailer, that scene gives me goosebumps.
00:47When a father and son have a fight, it gives me goosebumps.
00:51So, when I saw it there, I felt, wow, if this is in this small trailer, there must be a lot of spice inside.
01:00As far as two things are concerned, our self-censorship has become much better than before.
01:10Earlier, these things used to be taken advantage of, everything was there.
01:15Then you will see that not many films are being made, if you talk about its violence,
01:23it is taken care of. But sometimes, some subjects become such that when the hero plays a negative role,
01:33then his actions look very heavy. Because who will kill him?
01:40He is a hero.
01:40If I do it, then if there is a hero to kill me, then I automatically become less.
01:45Because this man needs a hero to kill me, he will kill him in the end.
01:49Now who will kill him? He is doing so much.
01:53So, sugarcane is very much associated with him.
01:57When the hero does it, whether it is Sanjay Dutt's film,
02:02there was a film, what is behind the vest, which he played the role.
02:09Whenever this has happened, you will feel a little more.
02:14Because when heroism is associated with action and positivity is found in it and portrayed,
02:23it becomes very powerful on the screen.
02:26There are many films to say this.
02:31It may be more. I have also heard that the second part, the sexual part, is a little more.
02:38I agree that I have not seen the film, so I do not know.
02:42But I understand that someone is making a 3-3.5-hour film.
02:47So, in his mind, if I think in a roughly positive way,
02:55someone who is making a 3-3.5-hour film, why didn't he feel these things were more?
03:01He is a music lover.
03:02So, why didn't he feel that this is too much?
03:04So, why didn't he reduce it?
03:06Then he will have to see the film as a story.
03:09You cannot say this without thinking why it was wrong.
03:12I will not say that.
03:14I will see the story.
03:15Why a 3.5-hour film in today's time,
03:18when no one can tolerate your film for more than 2 hours and 10 minutes,
03:23it is a 3.5-hour film.
03:25And why did it go on?
03:27And why did he do it?
03:29Then you will have to see his personal interest that I felt this was more.
03:34All these things will keep happening.
03:36And it is not necessary that Ranbir is one of the best actors.
03:41The world believes it.
03:42There is no doubt about it.
03:44It is possible that in the future,
03:45he may not feel that I should do such films.
03:48So, that is the biggest censorship.
03:51Only stories are made.
03:53You look for entertainment with this.
03:58So, people have seen it all over the world.
04:01I will say this about Animal.
04:04It is possible that it was more action or a little sexual part.
04:10But business-wise, it was fine.
04:13But people are not concerned.
04:16There are people who are saying it is good and people who don't like it are saying it is bad.
04:21So, this is a good thing.
04:25We will get a message from here that it was not good.
04:27So, we should do better in the future.
04:28Keep in mind.
04:29Yes.
04:29Secondly, I feel that when an actor grows inside him,
04:33he experiences it himself.
04:35So, many times it happens that he feels it is a little too much.
04:40Because when the main actor gets involved in this thought,
04:43then things automatically sit properly.
04:46So, it is possible in the future.
04:48Although he has never done such a film.
04:50I have done it.
04:51So, it is a little too much.
04:53In South, action is liked.
04:55Director South.
04:56Yes.
04:56Director South likes hand action.
04:59So, it is possible that it is too much.
05:01But I am sure that such films are not being made these days.
05:06Some come in between.
05:08Sir, as we know, you did modelling in the beginning.
05:11You were very good looking.
05:12You are still good looking.
05:13And your height is very good.
05:15Your complexion is very clean.
05:16So, you didn't think, like everyone wants,
05:20that I would also come as a hero.
05:22I would make the heroine sit behind the bike.
05:24And I would spread my arms in the snowy mountains.
05:27You are more in the role of a villain.
05:29You must have also thought that I should also become a hero.
05:31I am so good. Everything is fine with me.
05:33Hey, Gambhir!
05:35No, nothing like that.
05:37The biggest thing in that is that I am not from a filmy background.
05:42And I had taken a lot of risks before coming into films.
05:47Sir, please tell us openly.
05:49I was in the business of my family.
05:51I was in Bombay and in Jammu.
05:54After completing my education in Jammu,
05:56I came to Bombay.
05:58So, I couldn't do business with my family.
06:01It was our job.
06:03So, I went abroad.
06:05So, I did some fashion shows there.
06:09And then I came back there.
06:13Now, I didn't have that,
06:15what do you call it,
06:17that now I will take some other risk.
06:20Because,
06:22how many years will you think
06:24that this is not right,
06:26this is not right.
06:28And the second thing was that
06:30I was honest with that feeling
06:32that was inside me.
06:34There was no point in going against it.
06:36I would have been confused
06:38if I had a filmy background.
06:40Or if I had seen or met heroes.
06:42It was not like that.
06:44So,
06:46the power that I had inside me
06:48was being created
06:50as an actor.
06:52There was no such thing
06:54as a hero.
06:56It was a kind of thing
06:58that was developing inside me.
07:00And for that,
07:02I never lied to anyone.
07:04So, sometimes,
07:06when I went to meet people,
07:08there was always a confusion in their office.
07:12Because,
07:14at that time, my combination
07:17according to the films,
07:19I had small hair,
07:21I had a sports look,
07:23my cheeks were like that.
07:25And at that time,
07:27there were no such villains
07:29or heroes.
07:31A hero means
07:33he has such long hair
07:35and a villain has big hair.
07:37It was not like that.
07:39And I never discussed it
07:41or anyone told me
07:43that when I go, I should go like this.
07:46One thing was certain
07:48that the audience would think
07:50that this man is an actor.
07:52I mean,
07:54he looks like he knows
07:56what he is doing.
07:58Now, they did not understand
08:00where this fit.
08:02Neither they could see it
08:04according to the hero,
08:06nor according to the villain.
08:08So, later I came to know
08:10that I did not change anything.
08:12I did what I had.
08:15I had his hunger.
08:17I had his fire.
08:19I did not make any changes.
08:21And even today,
08:23I feel that I did the right thing.
08:25Yes, sir. Totally.
08:27You have always been evergreen and constant.
08:29See, what happens is
08:31when you change yourself,
08:33then there is a problem.
08:35You have to be stable somewhere.
08:37There is a requirement
08:39of the industry
08:41that a particular type of hero
08:44is needed.
08:46Today, all the definitions
08:48are over.
08:50It is simple.
08:52Anyone can be an actor.
08:54So, those things
08:56were very strong.
08:58And ultimately,
09:00someone has to choose you.
09:02Then he will prepare you
09:04and spend money on you.
09:06So, your thinking
09:08cannot match his thinking.
09:10If you are thinking the opposite,
09:12then it is better
09:14that the buyer thinks
09:16about you.
09:18If you go in that mode,
09:20then it will be better.
09:22Because you do not have the right
09:24that the buyer will say
09:26that I will do this.
09:28Then do it.
09:30It is possible that it will be good
09:32or it will be late.
09:34So, I did not have any thought
09:36to do all those things.
09:38I did not think
09:41that I can dance.
09:43So, I accepted what was happening
09:45and that is what
09:47God,
09:49who is called destiny,
09:51made me do.
09:53So, I think I did the right thing.
09:55Yes, you were 100% successful
09:57in that.
