00:00Hi everyone, this is Manjusha Radhakrishnan and the entertainment editor Dalf News.
00:09I'm here with two fabulous South Asian talents, Fawad Khan and Wani Kapoor.
00:14I have to tell you, if they are in a movie, I watch it and they are back here for a romantic comedy.
00:19You know what, this reminds me of Before Sunrise series where...
00:23Ethan Hawke and...
00:25Yeah, that's like my favourite romantic films.
00:28Will this be your answer to it, where there's a lot of conversation, a bit of love, tenderness seeping in?
00:34I feel that those films like, you know, like, Before Sunrise, After...
00:38Sunset.
00:39Yeah, After Sunset, yes, it was a trilogy.
00:42What we all loved about those films was that how real it felt.
00:46You know, those characters felt real, like almost like you know them.
00:49You know, and those are the people who you meet in your real life.
00:52Your friends could be like that, your lover could be like that, you know, just very real.
00:56So I feel this film also brings that flavour of realism.
01:00It's not too dramatic, but there's fun also.
01:02There's a lot of fun to it. There's a lot of...
01:04Like my character does a couple of silly things.
01:07But it's all in...
01:09I guess just...
01:11Them just being themselves.
01:13Do you think the world needs a Before Sunrise series?
01:15We are done with Jeffrey Dahmers of the world.
01:17Ah.
01:18Well, I mean, I think, yeah, there's not just a Before Sunrise, but you know, things like Roman Holiday.
01:24Yes, so my favourite films.
01:26I love that film.
01:27I love Roman Holiday.
01:28Yeah, I mean, this isn't exactly Roman Holiday, but yeah, the dynamic of an on-screen duo, I think cinema is kind of begging for that to come back.
01:38Because everything is now very intense, very dark, very dramatic, either thriller and too much of blood and gore, which I watch as well.
01:48But I think it should be a little bit. If you eat a little bit, then it won't be a little bit.
01:56So this is more like very appetizing. You called it a very appetizing meal, right?
02:00It's a palate cleanser.
02:01It's refreshing, yes. It's a palate cleanser.
02:03And a palate cleanser, but you know, like...
02:05The best foods are the ones where there are all come ingredients.
02:10Very true.
02:11Where you can taste everything individually.
02:13And that only happens when there's no complication in it.
02:16That's right.
02:17So this is that kind of a meal.
02:18We live in the age of Tinder and Bumble, where there's so much love is so hard to find.
02:23I'm sorry, people swipe right, left. Are you relationship, single, marriage, single? Those are the kind of photos that happen.
02:30Do you think there's a currency for there's only one person?
02:33Does this movie peddle that, perhaps that thought that we want to believe in?
02:37Gulal, does she believe in true love?
02:39And what about...
02:40I think she's trying to first figure who she is and figure what...
02:45Yeah, she's...
02:46I think it's a self-discovery for her.
02:49To understand who she is and what she wants.
02:51And I've been there and I still feel like I'm pretty much still there.
02:56Still trying to decode what life has to offer and what I have to...
03:00You know, if I have a purpose or is this pretty much it?
03:04It's just figuring out along the way.
03:08But if you ask me as an individual, yes.
03:10I feel I'm very old-fashioned and I'm very old-schooled and my ideas could seem a bit dated now.
03:17But I do believe in loyalty and commitment and just, you know, making one thing work.
03:23I mean, if you really want to, you choose that person, you know, every day.
03:26And you choose that emotion every day and you make that choice, conscious choice.
03:31There are also times when people can be in a miserable relation, you know.
03:35And I don't believe in them hanging on to it and continuing because of the societal pressure
03:41or just the fact that, you know, too many people involved.
03:44If you're miserable, you're also being unfair to the other person in it.
03:46Because you're not giving them what they want out of it.
03:49So, I feel it's best if you want to, like, part ways and figure your own ways
03:53and still maintain a healthy relation.
03:55But I'm single and I feel like I'm single until I'm married.
04:00And I think it's...
04:01I don't know if a part of my brain is a bit commitment-phobic.
04:04Like, I'm not phobic, but I'm very...
04:07I get scared.
04:08What if I end up being with somebody who I one day wake up and I feel, no, this...
04:12I made a mistake.
04:13So, that thought does cross me, honestly.
04:15Which is why I want to be a gazillion percent show.
04:18I figure myself out so when I'm with somebody, I know what I want.
04:23Yeah.
04:24What about you?
04:25Especially because we live in the age of Tinder and Bumble.
04:28How often do you use Bumble?
04:31I can't comment on this.
04:33Never on that.
04:34But, no, no.
04:35But do you think the concept of the one exists?
04:37Like, movies pedal it, right?
04:39Rahul, I think you make your Rahul, right?
04:42So, I feel like we...
04:45I wouldn't say the key because I just...
04:47I don't want to sound too...
04:48I don't want to go to philosophy or I'm being too patronizing or too...
04:52You know, preaching too much.
04:54But, in my opinion, I feel that having a relationship is a journey in life.
05:00And, in that journey, you come to that equilibrium point over the course of time.
05:07I feel that it may feel like it's like, you know, your knight in shining armor or the maiden you see them and it's love at first sight.
05:21It can continue.
05:23It can work out.
05:24I'm not saying there's 100% surety to compatibility.
05:27But, you have to accept people with their flaws.
05:30And that is what I feel that we're becoming more intolerant of is...
05:33Is we just feel that everything has to serve one's own purpose.
05:38So, is there something that really bothers you about your partner?
05:41Or, you know, you have to take it in your stride and you have to make it work.
05:45I love that.
05:46That is, I think, a very big part of commitment.
05:48If you keep waiting forever, you might just wait forever.
05:53I feel I've...
05:55I mean no disrespect to people who have been part of my life.
05:59Yes.
06:00You know, but...
06:01I feel like, you know, I...
06:03Somewhere deep down in my gut, I know.
06:05I'm still waiting for that voice.
06:07You know, that shout out from within that...
06:09Okay, this feels...
06:10Feels right.
06:11This feels right.
06:12Yeah.
06:13Listen, can I be honest with you guys?
06:15When I saw the scene where you sang that old Bollywood song...
06:18We all felt this is right.
06:20What was it being celebrated by our very own Fawad Khan...
06:23Who is objectified more than anybody else I've ever seen?
06:26It's actually quite interesting.
06:28It's just...
06:29It's...
06:30You can add this conversation to some other point off camera...
06:32But I do agree with you with some things.
06:34I was like, what is that?
06:36That's a phenomena in itself that needs to be dissected, analyzed.
06:39But what was it being celebrated by?
06:41I think I was being silly before that teaser that we shot.
06:44I think I was just being silly.
06:45I said something really silly to you.
06:47I remember and you bursted out laughing.
06:49What's that? How easy was it?
06:50Because it's a classic, right?
06:51Yeah.
06:52Manisha Quirala, Anil Kapoor, Mike.
06:53Oh, my God.
06:54Oh, my God.
06:55Epic.
06:56You know, they're giving.
06:57So, what do you think?
06:58Like, was that a lot of, like, pressure on before?
07:00I need...
07:01Oh, yeah. It's an iconic song.
07:02It's an iconic song.
07:03Yeah.
07:04So, what was going through your head while you were serenading?
07:06Were you worried?
07:07Am I...
07:08Is Anil Kapoor going through?
07:09Like, looking at this?
07:10Kumar Sanu's upright.
07:11He's an iconic voice.
07:12Yes.
07:13For so many people.
07:14So, I think, first of all, you're scared of the song.
07:16You're scared of the song.
07:17What are you doing?
07:18So, I was definitely under a lot of stress and pressure.
07:21Right.
07:22Because, I don't sing very often.
07:25And secondly, I think of myself as a bathroom singer.
07:28So, when Aati said that...
07:29If you're a bathroom singer, I should just be...
07:31Who had a band?
07:32I'm sorry.
07:33So, I'll tell you that the level of bathroom singer should be this.
07:35Or not a bathroom singer.
07:36I don't even want to sing.
07:37But you're not lying to him.
07:38Yeah, so then don't.
07:39But you were just so convincing though.
07:41The way you sang it.
07:42Like, I believed you.
07:44I was like, if anybody...
07:45And there are these meme cultures that are going around.
07:47Do you think that's where you know you're finally arrived as an actor?
07:50When there's a meme around you guys saying,
07:52We're all waiting for our fawad.
07:54That's it.
07:55And I was like...
07:56The world is healing is what I've heard.
07:57The world is healing.
07:58We all need...
07:59Yeah, they make that globe emoticon and then...
08:03And then he appears magically.
08:05How do you take all of that?
08:07How do you observe all this kind of fanfare, fandom?
08:09And Wani, you are also the chosen one to act alongside him.
08:12I got lucky.
08:13I got lucky.
