00:00Adi sir, first of all, welcome to INS.
00:03First of all, you should know that
00:06in the new Naveedi
00:07there is a very different space
00:09that you are looking at.
00:11What was it about the script
00:12for your character that made you say yes?
00:16Wow!
00:24Mukesh Shabra
00:25When I called myself
00:26I was doing a TV show
00:30and I was doing a job
00:32and when you are doing a TV show, your dates are a little haywire completely
00:40Mukesh Shabra asked me
00:42what are you doing in April?
00:45What are you doing?
00:46Obviously, I
00:49will never say I am busy
00:51when Mukesh Shabra calls
00:53so I risked
00:55and I told him
00:56that I am Mukesh Shabra
00:58what are you doing?
01:00and that's when he told me
01:01that I am doing a film
01:04with Anand El Rai
01:06it is a character opposite of Yami Gautam
01:08and it is a
01:10fantasy comedy
01:12that he told me
01:13about the character
01:14and I am Mukesh Shabra
01:17I am Mukesh Shabra
01:21and then
01:22I met Anand Sar, Anand Rai, Himachu Sharma
01:26such amazing producers
01:28such lovely people
01:30they told me
01:31the story
01:33the world
01:33the world
01:35the world
01:35the world
01:35the world
01:35the world
01:35the world
01:35the world
01:36the world
01:36the world
01:36the world
01:40I am atual
01:50I am
01:53bold over. It is a dream for any actor to get a part where there are such opposite shades
02:05in the part, in the character. Of course you have seen the film and you can imagine
02:13when an actor comes in front of me. Raja Awasti is my character and the two shades that this character
02:22has
02:22was really amazing. And then it started. It was a very challenging character.
02:32Because when he becomes a very challenging character, when he becomes a tangential actor
02:45, that was very difficult to do that. Because not only there was prosthetics and heavy make-up
02:58of four and a half hours of getting ready. But there was an action in that moment.
03:04And we were shooting in May. It was a karma. It was a head-to-toe-silicon body suit.
03:10And after all that, we had to emote emotions and action.
03:17It was, I think, one of the most physically and emotionally challenging characters I have thought about.
03:22You said that Chhabra Sir said that it is a fantasy comedy. So this was a new word.
03:30Because we still have heard horror comedy, horror comedy, comedy.
03:34What was the genre of fantasy comedy? Do you know what it was?
03:42What is the genre of fantasy comedy? It's one of the finest screenplays, finest stories I have heard.
03:43When I heard this story, this is the genre of Nain Nabilika.
03:48I think, this is the genre of fantasy comedy.
03:51I think, this is the genre of fantasy comedy.
03:56Fantasy, family, entertainment comedy.
04:00There is everything. And it's one of the finest screenplays, finest stories I have heard.
04:09And today, the audience's reactions are, everybody is loving it.
04:19From the kids to the elders.
04:21And that is the biggest achievement of this story and this film.
04:27And we are all part of this.
04:40I am a huge admirer of Yami Gautam's work. And it was a delight to work with her.
04:50She is so down to earth. She is so helpful, so easy to talk to.
04:55And she makes everyone around her very comfortable.
04:58This is a story of a family story of Nain Nabilika.
05:03And all the actors in this family, in this family,
05:08and all our chemistry was so beautiful.
05:14It was so beautifully woven.
05:16And all the actors they were, it was all a different film from other persons.
05:22Sunita Rajuhar, Sunil Sinha, Sushmita Ji, Anmita Vashisht, Anurag Thakur, Yami Gautam
05:31and all our chemistry was so interesting and so good
05:38and everyone was doing very honestly and positively
05:43and everyone was taking the effort to make sure that this team, all these actors are comfortable as a family
05:51together and that is very important. I think the credit goes to the director Balaji sir and the producer Anand
05:57sir
05:58that they have brought such a team, such actors together and then left it open.
06:10Your character has also worked on merit accent, so how did you prepare the language and body language
06:15and how did you prepare it and who helped you?
06:20Besides prosthetics and action and all this character, the biggest challenge for me was that
06:27this story of Nine Naveedhi, this story is based on U.P. and merit.
06:32and all the actors were from North Belt and the other actors were from North Belt and the other actors
06:57were from North Belt.
07:01so it was not alien to me but it was not alien to me but to imbibe and perform is
07:07very challenging.
07:08I think as an actor the most difficult thing to do is to adapt to a new accent.
07:16Of course, I had to do a lot of workshops but I had the support from Himanshu Sharma and Balaji
07:25sir.
07:27And especially, I had to get the pleasure of Thakur.
07:29That's what I want to know.
07:30In fact, I was in the second or third day of the shoot and I had a very big scene.
07:36I was there.
07:37It was a big monologue.
07:40One day before the shoot, I had a little bit of tension because I was not happy with my preparation.
07:47We worked on the dialect but I was searching.
07:51It was always my intention that I would like to give.
08:03If the director and the producers have given me 5 rupees, I always wish to return 10 rupees, 5 rupees
08:11extra interest
08:12which we put in our efforts.
08:14That's always my intention.
08:17And at that time, I didn't have fun.
08:21I was trying to put some nuance in it but because of accident, there were my limitations.
08:28So, I was not happy and I was looking at what I can do in it.
08:35And with Anurag, we used to rehearse a lot.
08:39Dr. Gran, I knew that Anurag is very familiar with that accent and he used to be very helpful also.
08:46But the shoot, one day before the monologue, I had a tension.
08:50I had a tension.
08:50I called Anurag to the phone in the evening.
08:53It was 7 p.m.
08:54And I said,
08:56Listen, man.
08:56There's a scene in the morning, right?
08:58I feel a little bit of under-prepared feeling.
09:01I have some other nuances.
09:04I have some dialects.
09:05And I have to make myself.
09:07What can I do?
09:08So, Anurag was so sweet.
09:10He's like,
09:12What do you want to get?
09:14Then I said,
09:14Yes, I can get.
09:15What do you want to get?
09:16I'm late, it's 9 p.m.
09:18I'm late.
09:19I'm late.
09:22We were sitting in a coffee shop at that same time.
09:24And we were sitting there for 3-4 hours.
09:28And we were discussing the dialogue of the scene.
09:33We were rehearsing each other.
09:38And I asked him,
09:39If I'm talking about this,
09:42I have to say something.
09:43I have to give you a little touch on me.
09:46I'm telling you everything.
09:47What will work?
09:48So,
09:48I tell myself,
09:48three-four options.
09:50Sometimes they talk about it.
09:53But like that,
09:55I do like that,
09:56But...
09:58the body language,
10:02that Raja Vaastia character.
10:04We have came,
10:05growing up.
10:06Um,
10:07And then next day we shot that scene
10:11And from there it becomes a habit
10:16I always frustrated Anurag
10:18His shooting is not there
10:20I would call her and ask her
10:22Anurag, in this scene
10:24I have to tell you how to tell me
10:26How to tell you
10:27How to tell you
10:29And then he will tell me 3 or 4 options
10:31He is so helpful
10:32He is such an amazing human being
10:34He told me
10:35I am there at night
10:38The on-screen chemistry
10:42Our on-screen chemistry
10:44Bandhu and Raja
10:46It is also off-screen
10:48That's why
10:51That's why
10:52In the response of the audience
10:56What are you showing?
10:59I think
11:01The story
11:03The story
11:03It is a very loving story
11:06And
11:08All of the children
11:09Are enjoying this film
11:12I enjoy it
11:12Because
11:15The story
11:17Is connected to our mythology
11:19Universe
11:22And
11:22And
11:23There is a different thrill
11:25There is a different excitement
11:27And
11:29Of course
11:30The ensemble cast
11:31They have cast
11:32They have casted in this film
11:35Mukesh sir
11:36Anand sir
11:37They have done a lot of work
11:41They have done a lot of work
11:41They have done a lot of work
11:42And I have fun with them
11:43And Badaji Mohan
11:45Who is our director
11:46I think
11:47I think
11:47The new novel
11:48It was a very difficult film
11:51Because
11:51The ensemble cast
11:54Fantasy
11:55VFX
11:56Action
11:56Everything
11:57In every scene
11:58At least
11:59At least
12:00The chase
12:02So
12:03There was a lot of planning
12:04There was a lot of precision
12:06There was a lot of clarity
12:08There was a lot of clarity
12:09And I think
12:10Badaji sir
12:11There was a lot of charm
12:13And
12:13I think
12:15And
12:15I think
12:17That
12:17The entire team
12:19In fact
12:20That is the reason
12:22The personally
12:23Everything
12:25Is
12:26That
12:33Of
12:36If we talk about the story, we always see that if there is a comedy involved in it,
12:42then sometimes it goes out of the box, or sometimes it goes across a line,
12:48a little vulgarism.
12:50In some films, we have seen that in some films, there is also a double meaning dialogue.
12:56But this story was a little bit sad, according to our characters,
13:01and how many boundaries we had had crossed,
13:05what do you say about it?
13:07No, the director, writers, producers, and creators,
13:15Himanshu, Sharma, and Dibirini Sharma,
13:18they wrote so many stories and dialogue.
13:22The world created, and the world executed,
13:27Anand Sir Balaji Sir,
13:29who had to execute this story,
13:33had to have a lot of effort to execute this story.
13:36They had to create a whole world,
13:40the Habilith, the Mela,
13:43the Clamax,
13:45they had a lot of sets,
13:47bandhe,
13:48and then they had a heavy VFX,
13:52so they had a lot of effort,
13:54they have taken the effort to execute every bit,
13:59of what was envisioned,
14:01and that, I think,
14:04the biggest challenge,
14:05which was written,
14:07was much larger than life,
14:09much better than life,
14:10the humor, the situational humor,
14:13and that, I think,
14:18and I think,
14:18Badaji Sir,
14:20has done an amazing job.
14:23We are all,
14:24when we watched the film,
14:25with the audience,
14:26we were mesmerized by this,
14:30execution and this creation.
14:33Adi Sir,
14:33one more thing,
14:34you think,
14:34you are very connected with mythology,
14:38because,
14:39now,
14:39you have done this film,
14:41and after that,
14:42you are going to do Ramayana,
14:44so Ramayana,
14:45your character is also,
14:45in Ramayana,
14:46so,
14:46tell us about that,
14:48your character,
14:49that,
14:51your career,
14:52how many emotionally significant moments are?
14:57I think,
14:58I am very happy,
14:59Shushna Sibu,
14:59that,
15:02I got so many opportunities,
15:06I think,
15:08in opportunities,
15:09as an actor,
15:11there is no more control,
15:12all you have to do,
15:13is keep working hard,
15:15and,
15:16you have to keep working hard,
15:17and,
15:18when the opportunity comes,
15:19knocking on,
15:20when the opportunity comes,
15:21knocking on your door,
15:22you have to be ready,
15:24to grab it.

15:32God has been kind,
15:33that,
15:35I got so much,
15:37good,

16:56that is a very,
16:57difficult,
16:58space,
16:58because,

17:01when you perform,
17:03a scene,
17:04an emotional scene,

17:10when you do,
17:11honestly,
17:12and,
17:12sincerity,
17:13and,
17:14when you do,

17:29very challenging,
17:30but,
17:31it is also,
17:32a lot of fun,
17:33and,
17:34that's why,
17:35I love this genre.
17:37How is Ranbir,
17:38working with Ranbir,
17:41and Ranbir,
17:42also worked with Ranbir,
17:42also worked with Ranbir,
17:43so,
17:43what difference do you see,
17:44both of us,
17:45in difference,
17:48I think,
17:49no difference,
17:50but,
17:50I see a similarity,
17:51that,
17:52both are hard working,
17:54and sincere,
17:56and,
17:58I think,
17:59that is what,
17:59makes them,
18:00who they are,
18:01but,
18:02I have been,
18:04that,
18:04I have been,
18:05working with,
18:06such a great,
18:06and,
18:11especially,
18:11dubbing,
18:12you have been,
18:14emotional,
18:14so,
18:15if you play a character,
18:17you are,
18:18yourself,
18:19emotionally,
18:19attached,
18:21of course,
18:22I take my work,
18:23personally,
18:25and,
18:27I get,
18:29personally,
18:30involved,
18:30in everything,
18:32so,
18:33it's,
18:38whatever,
18:40we have,
18:41unless you,
18:42immerse yourself,
18:43into it,
18:45the audience,
18:46will never enjoy it,
18:48and,
18:50I think,
18:50I am blessed,
18:51that I have been,
18:52learning,
18:54and,
18:54making my work,
18:55the people of Paris,
18:56now,
18:57who,
18:58will not be able to move,
18:59and,
19:00I am lucky,
19:01And I am very grateful that I have got such directors and makers
19:05who have immersed the world in those artists in the world.
19:16And to immerse that world, I have to create the world.
19:23I am really grateful that I have worked with all the great directors
19:31such as Kabir Khan in 1983, Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana, Ashwin Yair Tiwari, System, Balaji Mohan for Nahi Naveli
19:43all the great directors created the world in that film, literally created
19:55Kabir Khan was taken in that period
19:57we were shooting at the lodge, oval, costumes, makeup, Vikram Gayquad, look design
20:06Ramayana, Nitesh Tiwari, Namit Madhutra
20:09they have actually recreated all the Ayodhya, Mithila and Lanka created
20:17they have made actual sets and detailed sets
20:20it was looking so real that we felt we were actually there
20:24and when the makers work with you
20:28you get the opportunity to work with
20:32then as an actor, your work becomes very easy
20:35because 80% of the effort they take care of
20:43by creating the world so honestly around you
20:45that you automatically immerse yourself into it
20:49all you have to do
20:50you need to just honestly be there in that moment and experience it
20:57the most important thing is
20:59the most important thing is that you are going to have to do
21:02but there is no promotion or that it will not be able to reach the film
21:08so that the world is still happening
21:11I would like to tell you something that
21:14Maharaati cinema has always challenged its boundaries
21:18There is an always found new horizons and in recent years, I mean 1930s, Shantaram's Amar Jyoti, Venice Film Festival,
21:31was selected in the Venice Film Festival.
21:33After that, all three or four films were selected.
21:37After that, Shwasa was shot-listed from India and then Gondar was selected.
21:42I think it's a proud moment for being a member of the Marathi film industry.
21:51I am proud and we are all praying and wishing that Gondar brings home the best foreign language film award.
22:00And yes, if you have asked about the process there.
22:09There is a lot of effort.
22:14Now, we don't have to get an award or not.
22:17But I think that today, we as an Indian film industry, we are quite equipped.
22:27The audience there is a lot of Indian cinema.
22:37And I hope that Gondar gets to the right avenue and in the right direction, it will be distributed and
22:46nominated for the Oscars.
22:51And I wish it wins.
22:52What would you like to give to your fans?
22:56I would like to say to all the fans and audience members,
23:01that thank you for the love of the new Naveelie.
23:04Raja Avasthi, Mohini, Kirdaar, Bantu,
23:08all the people who love of the new Naveelie.
23:12Thank you so much.
23:13I will be happy with the new Naveelie.
23:18After the new Naveelie, there is a lot of surprises.
23:22I will be happy with the new Naveelie.
23:24After that, there are many surprises.
23:25I will be happy with the new Naveelie.
