00:00I'm not doing any film that I should make the biggest budget movie and my budget should
00:10exceed my previous movie.
00:12No, I don't conceive or I don't make a movie in that angle.
00:18Whatever comes in my mind, like fortunately every movie is demanding a big budget.
00:25So this script is demanding such a big budget because it is almost like a Hollywood film,
00:33like a lot of visual effects are there and animatronics are there and a lot of prosthetic
00:40makeup is there.
00:41And when I narrated the script to the producer, he was amazed, you know, we have to appreciate
00:46him because no one will come to produce such a big budget movie in Indian cinema because
00:52the recouping the money, so we have to do this movie and we have to see that it recoups.
01:00And we believe that this film will be liked by the international audience also because
01:06as I told before, anyone in any part of the world could get connected personally with
01:13this movie.
01:14As far as Indian audience is concerned, I believe everyone has watched this movie.
01:18So it will be easy for them to follow.
01:20But even the fresh audience, like as I told before, this is not the extension of the part
01:25one.
01:26This is a completely different story where the familiar characters will come.
01:30He is amazing.
01:32Still now I'm wondering, behind the camera, when you talk to him, it's very normal and
01:41very simple.
01:42And he goes in front of the camera, this must be a cliche but still I want to tell, he goes
01:47in front of the camera, there is a magic happening.
01:50Even after working for so many years, every shot, he thinks how to make it different from
01:56what he did before.
01:57Even he is very famous for his walk.
02:00Even there is a walking shot, I was thinking like some difference should be there.
02:06He has given that difference even in the walk.
02:08So many films he walks, just for example I'm telling.
02:15In the Delhi stadium, we shot the climax, the temperature is around 47.
02:22In that temperature, he was wearing a speciality suit around 12 kilograms and it was so hot.
02:32But still he loved to do that and his cooperation is amazing.
02:37He is ahead of the game.
02:39Even though he looks very simple, his mind is always ahead of the game.
02:43There is action over there, the choice of what he is doing and I have learned a lot
02:48from him actually.
02:50And he acknowledges the supreme which is a beautiful thing for me, learning.
02:56And once I, after the Oscars, I felt like I've got everything, I'm feeling old.
03:02Then I went to the shoot and I'm feeling really okay, everything is done.
03:06I went and saw the shooting of Robot.
03:10Here is the man sitting here.
03:12And then I saw him transform before the camera.
03:14I said, oh my God, I'm not cold.
03:16When he can do it, I can do it.
03:18So that's an inspiration I learned.
03:21And that day actually changed my life.
03:23My character is something which I have never touched.
03:26And I don't think so, once in your lifetime you get these kind of characters to play.
03:32And I don't think so, I may not never get it.
03:36So this is a kind of a movie in my drawer.
03:41I would keep it as a DVD, as a first DVD in my, even though it is 2.0.
03:49So that I will keep it the first.
03:51And it's, I didn't care whether it is negative or not.
03:57And if you must have heard him say, it is a scientific social film.
04:04So the word social is also attached to it.
04:07That's the maximum I can tell you.
04:10Why is it that as time will progress, we will come to know through him only.
04:16Cinema has no language.
04:18And the script itself is not like a foreign film.
04:24It's very international.
04:25This is the second time I have worked with Shankar sir.
04:27And a lot of preparation goes into it.
04:31He moulds you into the actor he wants.
04:34And he knows exactly how to get that from his artists.
