00:00So welcome Team Gondhar to INS. It is an absolute pleasure to have you with us on board today.
00:06Firstly, when I heard the news as a Maharashtrian, I was on cloud, probably not even 9 beyond that.
00:14So, how was your reaction and did you even think that it will happen throughout the process of the making
00:23of the movie?
00:24Did you even feel that it was going to be there?
00:30I had a call to all my actors, not sources, actors.
00:39Tomorrow is a big day for us. We could go through tomorrow's selection process.
00:46So, there could be chances to go to be declared as an Indian official entry for Oscars.
00:53Even one year before, while having a lot of press interviews, I already proved that this film India and Maharashtra
01:02will represent at international level proudly.
01:05So, yes, we are preparing ourselves. Even before declaring this stuff, three days before, I personally put a video on
01:15social media that we are not going to release this film on OTT soon.
01:19At the same time, ten days before the result, my team went to Italy to meet Tatiana Deflonso.
01:28She is a media PR, she is a famous publicist for international foreign category. So, the team met her and
01:40she watched the film and she said, yes, we can do this.
01:44But if you got selected as an international foreign category from India, that would be great. That would be great
01:50support for the Oscar campaign.
01:52And that's why, after being selected as an Indian official entry, as a Marathi, it's happening after 11 years. It
02:01was a really proud moment for Marathi cinema.
02:05Even when I heard that, when I got to know that, 14 out of 14 jury supported our film. That
02:13thing also happening after a long time. So, that really gains our competence and yes, right now we are on
02:20Oscar campaign and we are not letting India down here.
02:23Absolutely. I want to know your reaction. Sir was very confident. He had faith in his vision. For me, I
02:34put my faith in his faith, in his vision. But when things were happening, it took few days actually for
02:43me to process and actually believe that, okay, this is happening.
02:46So, and it was Ganpati time. So, I just felt that, okay, Lord Ganesha is blessing, blessings us and, you
02:52know, it's just a wonderful time already on planet earth. So, yeah, and now we are all excited and for
03:01our international campaign, it's a different ball game altogether.
03:05We are also like, for me, it's new. So, I'm educating myself, okay, how does this work there? And, okay,
03:11there are screenings and then you meet people and then there are academy members. It's very important for them to
03:17watch our film and vote and everything.
03:19So, it's all new, exciting and we are really looking forward to it now because, yeah, we are prepared, we
03:26are well prepared to get the Oscars.
03:28Yes, absolutely. Fingers crossed. Yes.
03:32Actually, when I heard the news, I was sitting in my own office and suddenly we have a WhatsApp call,
03:38suddenly, video, yeah, WhatsApp. We have a Gondhal group and suddenly we got a call and everyone was screaming, like
03:45shouting and that's how I got into know that we are India's official entry for the Oscar.
03:50And it's like a dream come true. Actually, it took few seconds to me to digest what is happening around
03:58me. So, yeah, it's like amazing moment.
04:02And after this call got finished, I firstly called my mom and I told her that this is the news
04:08and there was a 10 seconds of silence and she broke the silence.
04:11And she told me that I'm proud of you and God bless you. So, like it's a memorable thing. It's
04:17a memorable thing. Sir was like waving India's flag. He was dancing. So, he called some banjo party and everyone.
04:25It was memorable. It was memorable.
04:27Right, right. You know, like as much as Maharashtra are extremely proud of, majority of Maharashtra are extremely proud of
04:35this achievement because it's rare for a regional cinema to go up there and, you know, command over amongst all
04:42the other foreign languages as well.
04:43But, but at the same time, what happens is that there was a certain section as well who was very
04:50surprised to see a Marathi movie going up there. For them, it was like,
04:55I was like, okay, how did it go up there? How did it go up there? How did it go
04:58up there? There were a lot of comments that I read. And as a Maharashtra, it made me feel very
05:01off.
05:03It's at the end of it, it's about content, not the language. Right. So, I wanted to know, how did
05:07it go up there?
05:08How did it go up there? And for your baby to grow and win an achievement and then people talking,
05:15pulling you down just because of a mere category of being a Maharashtra or a Marathi category movie. How was,
05:21how did you react to it?
05:42So, yes.
05:43So, yeah, we really want to make a benchmark. I really want to make a benchmark for the Marathi film.
05:47So, yes, people will also make these films in the future.
05:52See, Maharadi has a good content, but the audience doesn't support it.
05:55The budget of the film is reduced, and the quality of the film is compromised.
06:01But yes, things are changing.
06:04Like in Kannada industry, Yash's film, Rishabh Shetty's film,
06:13the whole film industry has changed their perception.
06:18So, this is the first film which is dubbed in seven languages.
06:24It is visually dubbed also.
06:25The visual dub was released in March.
06:33Even lot of directors or lot of studios doesn't know about these things.
06:38Ramana has released with a visual dub.
06:39But yes, we have a very good quality team we hired for a sound dub and a visual dub.
06:45So, after the release of the 13th century,
06:47you don't have any film in any language.
06:50There are barriers.
06:52If you look at Hindi, you look at Bollywood.
06:55When you look at Tamil, you look at Tamil.
06:58And at the same time, you look at English, you look at English.
07:01So, I know that we have to do professional work.
07:05Because I have to believe that in every work,
07:10you have to show a character of your work.
07:11You have to show a personality of your work.
07:13And you can show the video in Gondal Joy.
07:18Every member of our team can show that we have made this film.
07:20And this film will be seen after 20-30 years.
07:24I am sure about it.
07:25Absolutely.
07:26If I could have your take as well on the same.
07:29I would say we always wonder,
07:31that why aren't independent cinemas doing well?
07:35Or you know, why is only movies made in West doing so well?
07:39Or they have stories?
07:40Or you know, they have substance basically.
07:42So, this is the answer.
07:43So, if you really think that India can't make it.
07:46You are wrong.
07:47Because India does.
07:48And this is the time that we need your support.
07:50If you would go and watch the movie.
07:52And not look at the star cast.
07:54Or you know, not look at the budget of the movie.
07:56Just go for the story.
07:57Just go for the honesty of the storytelling.
08:02That comes from the root.
08:03And as I mentioned earlier also that, you know,
08:07hyper-local is the next global.
08:09So, there are these stories which are so rooted in our soil.
08:15It just needs recognition.
08:16Correct.
08:17And now that we are reaching heights.
08:20We are reaching somewhere.
08:22Audiences should go and watch in the theatre.
08:25And now that it's releasing on 13th of November
08:28in all the different languages.
08:30So, that's a good thing that, you know,
08:32even though the culture is Maharasht based.
08:35Well said.
08:36The problem is that some things are very late to realize.
08:39When we are living in front of us,
08:41we don't have to worry about that.
08:45When we got a silver peacock,
08:47then slowly, slowly,
08:49I mean, things have changed.
08:51After this news,
08:53there are many things have changed.
08:55People have taken it very seriously.
08:58As expected,
09:00there is no revenue.
09:01In the last year,
09:04when this film was released in 2025,
09:06then our expectations were also very high.
09:09That we have made a good film.
09:11So, people will come.
09:12It will feel good.
09:13But unfortunately,
09:15it didn't do well.
09:16So, of course,
09:18I mean,
09:18things are changing now.
09:20I am keeping my fingers crossed.
09:21And when it was released,
09:23when it was released,
09:24then people will go to the next theaters.
09:28People will go to the next theaters.
09:30And people will travel and go to the next theaters.
09:31Because now,
09:32there is so much water flowing.
09:34Right.
09:34Right. Absolutely.
09:35You know,
09:36continuing to the same question,
09:38what happens is that
09:39the entire film industry,
09:41the origination of movies,
09:43irrespective of Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati,
09:45whatsoever,
09:46the origination of overall movies,
09:48happened in Maharashtra.
09:50Right.
09:51We have Dada Seh Paake,
09:52Kiyovi Shantana.
09:53We have been the pioneers of Indian cinema.
09:55Right.
09:55But sadly,
09:57what happens is,
09:57when we talk about Marathi movies,
10:00when you talk about Marathi actors,
10:01when you talk about Marathi production,
10:03or whatsoever,
10:04even today,
10:05in the year of 2026,
10:07it is,
10:08it is not as easy as Marathi to budget is low,
10:10but it is content because,
10:12as Maharashtra only,
10:14like you said,
10:15as Maharashtra only,
10:16a lot of Marathi people,
10:17don't go to the,
10:17don't go to movie theaters.
10:19They go to play theaters.
10:21They don't go to movie theaters.
10:22So I really wanted to understand from you,
10:25that,
10:26non-Maharashtra's outlook here towards Maharashtra.
10:29Marathi,
10:30content,
10:31marathi actors,
10:32marathi overall,
10:33cinema.
10:34It is,
10:35if I could say it is pretty derogatory
10:38also at times
10:39what do you have to say being on that side
10:42of the production stage
10:43have you firstly kabhi as experience kia hai
10:46and what is this obsession of
10:48having Bollywood people in Marathi movies
10:50to hype and get the right PR marketing
10:52for it, what is your name
10:54I don't got that question
10:55Bollywood people
10:58I'll give you an example
10:59for example
11:03Rajat Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj ka
11:04picture joa hai ta Ritesh Deshmane jho
11:07release kia tha
11:07us mein there were a lot of Bollywood actors
11:10there was Salman, there was Abhishek, there was Vidya Balan
11:12and so many
11:13jabki usi at par actors we have in Marathi as well
11:17but that movie got a lot more publicity
11:20because at the end of the day
11:21it became Salman ka movie
11:22arhi Salman hai us movie mein
11:24jabki the topic of the movie
11:26Shivaji Maharaj ke upar aapne ko koi lagta hi nahi hai
11:28but I just feel
11:29ki at the end of the day
11:30when we have a lot of Bollywood people
11:32venturing into
11:34Marathi industry
11:35to
11:36ek logo ka nazariya dekhne hoote hai
11:38to
11:38Marathi content ko na ek serious business ki tada dikha jata hai
11:41at a lot of times
11:42also
11:43I'll continue next question later
11:44but yeah
11:45this is something that
11:45na hi
11:46serious business
11:47haan
11:48serious business
11:49mean
11:49serious business
11:50manche jese bhi
11:50for example
11:51as I said
11:52Salman Khan
11:52to arhi Salman ka ho gaya
11:54to ek ek usko na rubab mil jata hai
11:56us content ko
11:57so that is a good thing
11:58that is a good thing
11:59that is a good thing
12:00so do you think that
12:00Marathi actors
12:01but we already have such stalwarts in the industry
12:04do we need
12:04see we need to see
12:06why
12:08this is necessary
12:09it is necessary because of audience are responding to the Salman Khan
12:13they are not responding to the Marathi actors
12:16who are the audience
12:17Marathi audience
12:18Marathi audience want to respond to Salman Khan
12:21Marathi audience want to respond to Sanjay Dutt
12:23I have seen a lot of
12:25after a lot of years
12:26the Sairad
12:27after Sairad magic
12:29there was the one film
12:30who reached to the 100 crores
12:31and that was
12:33Chhatrapati
12:35Shivaji Maharaj
12:36so
12:36so
12:37see
12:38as a director
12:39as a producer
12:40you need to take care of the investment also
12:42and
12:43and
12:43that could be the
12:44professional call
12:45but it really helps
12:46because
12:46audiences are responding to these films
12:48you have a great example of Gondar also
12:51Gondar didn't
12:54Gondar didn't
12:54go to Salman Khan
12:552 minutes
12:56to go to Salman Khan
12:57so his budget
12:58can also be a 10% collection
12:59to be able to
13:01I didn't have any film from commercial perception
13:05and
13:05I don't know
13:08how people
13:09watch cinema
13:10or how the Marathi cinema
13:11watch
13:12I didn't have any
13:12Marathi cinema
13:13which I wanted to do
13:15in my limited
13:15stipulated budget
13:17so
13:17what was my choice
13:18I didn't have to compromise
13:20to the Hori
13:20to compromise
13:21so
13:22so
13:23I had the Hori
13:24experience
13:25and
13:25at the same time
13:27I had the actors
13:28who I wanted to do
13:30good acting
13:30good
13:32celebrity actors
13:33who are good
13:34acting
13:34but
13:37I was worried
13:38I have a new director
13:40I don't know
13:41for opening shot
13:43I could have
13:45because
13:46before going on shoot
13:48I don't know
13:49I could have
13:49over than 40
13:51retakes
13:5150 retakes
13:5260 retakes
13:52and celebrated actor
13:54won't allow that
13:54so
13:56that was a completely
13:57professional choice
13:57as per my direction
13:59even
13:59you must have seen
14:00that
14:01Salman Khan
14:01what he
14:02portrayed as a
14:03Jeeva Mala
14:03he didn't have that
14:05diction
14:06but
14:06at the same time
14:08people responded well
14:09so that's a good thing
14:11so
14:12any person
14:13which is coming
14:14from
14:14Marathi industry
14:15and he is working
14:16in Marathi industry
14:17even he
14:17did same for the
14:19Ritesh film
14:20what was that
14:22Ved
14:22in Ved also
14:24he
14:25did same thing
14:26that's why
14:27the film also
14:28reached at
14:2872 lakh
14:29collection
14:31so
14:31these are the things
14:32and audience
14:33are responding
14:34such ideas
14:36that means
14:37filmmaker
14:38or
14:39production houses
14:40are not
14:40responsible for that
14:41audience must be
14:43responsible
14:44for
14:45such decision

15:29that
15:29Kishor
15:29Kadam
15:32while I
15:33watched
15:33him
15:34in
15:34pantry
15:35and
15:35certain
15:35films
15:36I
15:36really
15:36love
15:37his
15:37acting
15:37and
15:37that's
15:38why
15:38when
15:38these
15:41auditions
15:42came
15:42in
15:43so
15:43I
15:44was
15:46going
15:46every
15:47way
15:48to
16:09so she worked out she already said in her first introduction interview that she is going
16:15to be 2,000 efforts for the film and I knew that the diction is the thing that could be
16:21work on it but the acting is not that thing you can work on it because that nuisance what I
16:27was
16:28looking in that character she gave it at first audition so that was the important thing for me
16:34and Anand he was that chairahi jo tha bola tha toh he sees that the quality I have no name
16:40and I have a preference of the quality of the film that I have no name so I have no
16:44name
16:44toh he is the quality of the film that he has no name but he has no name but he
16:53has no name
16:54so for 4 days I have to convince him to be like a play player in the film and acting
17:01and he has to do a lot of acting and to do a lot of fiction and at the same
17:06time they
17:07so i am really happy that quality product is coming out and this is also celebrating
17:12what i did i did
17:14i did
17:16the film in 5 locations
17:18i made a film in 5 locations
17:20i made a film in 2 crore
17:21what i did
17:23i made a movie for 4 crore and i made a location
17:26i made a story
17:28that it was in one location
17:31which is in Malayalag film
17:32and at the same time i didn't spend too much on this cast
17:37but i spent on casting director
17:39so these are the things which really required for the good film
17:44so and
17:45if you go to international
17:46then you have to see one element
17:49where you have to be wrong
17:51so the whole film
17:53and if you have to be wrong
17:55you have to be there
17:57so all the shots
17:58you have to be wrong
18:00so this is why
18:02the side actors
18:05were also very important
18:09so when we see Gondhala
18:10we all have a proud feeling
18:11that we have made a good product
18:13and as representing India
18:16it's also another proud feeling
18:17and it's a good chance for us
18:19and that's why we are having every episode for the film
18:22of course
18:22you know when we talk about Gondhala
18:24it is what i read about it
18:26it's more of a folklore
18:28it's more of a folklore
18:29integral folklore
18:29when we talk about folklore
18:31when we talk about folklore
18:34folklore
18:38even if we agree or disagree
18:41the truth is because of Kantara
18:43the folklore of Tulu
18:45community
18:46it's all from there
18:47people got to know
18:48that every region
18:51and every community
18:52is a deep folklore
18:54it's not that the first time
18:55that any folklore
18:56in Marathi movies
18:59it's not the first time
19:00that we have done with Gondhala
19:01earlier we also the fact
19:02that the name itself
19:03is a very integral part
19:05of Maharashtrian culture
19:07that people don't even know
19:13to curb weddings
19:15and all of that
19:16Maharashtrians only don't do it
19:17right
19:18so my question over here is
19:20do you feel
19:21that the folklore concept
19:23that the pan-India
19:24has come to do
19:25that people are comparing
19:29on social media
19:31when I did my R&D
19:32that Kantara is released
19:33and that's why
19:34we also have folklore
19:36so it's like the trend
19:37right now
19:38so what do you think about that?
19:42Kantara's fans
19:42I have said in previous years
19:45that Kantara's film
19:49is Indian film
19:54sorry
20:02Kantara's film
20:03in 2023
20:04so
20:05in 2020
20:06we have written a film
20:10and that's why
20:12we really compete in an international section
20:14and that's why
20:16we really compete in an international section
20:16we are really happy
20:17that we can compete in an international foreign category
20:22and yes
20:24we are doing every efforts
20:25your take on this
20:27I just want to say
20:29India is a huge country
20:30so we have a lot of stories
20:32we have a lot of stories
20:34our cultures and traditions
20:35are a lot of stories
20:37and people have attempted
20:39not just in Marathi
20:41and Kannada
20:42in Gujarati
20:43also
20:43in Northeastern languages
20:45also
20:46that's that as well
20:48Rajasthani as well
20:49it's just that
20:49because Kantara
20:50made a huge box office number
20:53that is why
20:54it came into light
20:55and that's why
20:56people started thinking
20:57oh
20:57see the local stories
20:58are going places now
21:00but
21:01this is not the first time
21:01and this has been so many years
21:04that
21:05people don't even know in India
21:06in many different corners
21:08where people don't even know
21:10in India
21:10I was in Kerala
21:11to learn Coloury Pettu
21:12and
21:13there
21:13I have
21:14more
21:15different dance forms
21:17I am not saying
21:17classical dance forms
21:18but the folk dance forms
21:20the folk
21:21what do you say
21:22lot of art forms
21:23that I got to know
21:24which people don't know
21:25Northern Indians
21:26or maybe South
21:27people don't know
21:28so I think
21:30filmmakers
21:30will tap in
21:32and take those stories
21:33and take those stories
21:33and if they will make
21:34a huge impact on box office
21:36people will be like
21:36oh wow
21:37we have this thing
21:38but we have treasure
21:40we have a treasure
21:41we have a treasure
21:41stories
21:42and all the stories
21:44right
21:45just before you end up
21:47two very important questions
21:49firstly
21:50I really want to understand
21:51that
21:52when
21:53I mean
21:53we are the most populated country
21:55in the entire world
21:56but still
21:57Indians
21:58obsession
21:59with any international award
22:01be it Oscars
22:02be it Grammys
22:03be it any other award
22:04is taken
22:05is taken
22:06far more seriously
22:07than
22:08their own audience
22:09validation
22:10so even if a movie
22:11over here
22:12the critics
22:12the audience
22:13won't feel good
22:14but if it's an Oscar
22:16worthy
22:16if it's an Oscar
22:17if it's an Oscar
22:18or Grammys
22:19so it gets
22:21a very different
22:22ball game altogether
22:23right
22:24I want to understand
22:25what makes you think
22:26what makes you think
22:28about the Indian
22:29about Indian's obsession
22:31with international awards
22:33it's not only about Indians
22:35it's all the world obsession
22:36about the Oscars
22:37Grammy
22:38or Golden Globe
22:39or Babtha
22:41I'll know
22:42why Oscar is more important
22:43for all of our countries
22:44because you must
22:45you must have seen that
22:47all of countries
22:49are sending their
22:51nominations for the Oscar
22:53international award category
22:55because of that
22:55the process of declaring
22:58or process of declaring
22:59such kind of awards
23:01or process of choosing
23:02final nominees
23:04is completely transparent
23:05and there are
23:06over than
23:0710,000 voters
23:0811,000 voters
23:09which are voting
23:10for the Oscars
23:11there is no manipulation
23:13there is no
23:14it's completely transparent
23:15and that's why
23:16it is being glamoured
23:18and it is increasing
23:19its glamour day by day
23:20so
23:21if you see
23:22in India
23:23there is completely
23:24different ball game
23:25the shows
23:26are organising
23:27or awards
23:28are being arranged
23:28to balance
23:30the
23:31fraternity's ego
23:32so that's the
23:33main reason
23:34so
23:35there is nothing
23:35money
23:36in it
23:37but
23:37yes
23:38the two chairs
23:40have power
23:41in front of your
23:42and the two chairs
23:42have power
23:47who gets to
23:49those studios
23:50have power
23:50so
23:52for them
23:52to satisfy
23:54not all
23:5510%
23:56award
23:56out of
23:57100%
23:58they have to
24:00manipulate
24:01their
24:02and
24:03what happens
24:04is that
24:05they know
24:05they are
24:06to balance
24:07and they have to
24:09reduce it
24:10and they have to
24:11day by day
24:12the importance
24:13is that
24:14my personal opinion
24:17is
24:18I just want to understand
24:19this
24:19that
24:19a lot of times
24:21we have
24:21like
24:21I was
24:21I want to understand
24:25that
24:25Marathi actors
24:27characters
24:28in Bollywood movies
24:30still
24:30see
24:31some
24:32Marathi movie
24:33they are located in Delhi
24:34or Gujarat
24:36but
24:36Maharashtrian characters
24:38they are
24:39house-helps
24:40they are
24:41they are
24:42so
24:43they are not
24:44never seen
24:44Marathi actors
24:46they are
24:46Gujarati
24:47always
24:48this
24:49stereotype
24:51Marathi characters
24:52also
24:52I feel
24:53continue to the same question
24:55actors
24:55who are
24:56stalwarts
24:56and absolutely
24:57creme de la creme in Marathi
24:58like Siddharj Zadav
24:59Ashok Saraf
25:00who go to Bollywood
25:02Siddharj Zadav
25:03is an important role
25:04but
25:04he is not the lead
25:06Ashok Saraf is not the lead
25:07but
25:08when it comes to South Indian movies
25:10stalwarts of South Indian movies
25:11Bollywood
25:12do not do side roles
25:14Rishabh Shetty
25:14will do
25:15Shivaji Maharaj's role
25:16right
25:17so what is your take on this?
25:18That's the reason
25:19is that the audience
25:21is that
25:21is more perceptive
25:24Hindi films
25:24for any film
25:26you give a chance
25:27for newcomers
25:28to the newcomers
25:29who are
25:31either
25:31they are
25:32they are
25:33they are
25:34they are
25:36they are
25:36they are
25:37they are
25:38they are
25:42they are
25:42they are
25:42they are
25:44but
25:44they are
25:44they are
25:45not
25:46welcome
25:46here
25:47they are
25:48they are
25:48audience ko hindi ko audience joe wo hindi ko welcome kati to hindi ke film actors ko
25:54hi dekhna jada pasand karthi lekin despite of that you have a example of madhuri
26:00dixit you have a example of sonali bendre the ormila maturkar they have their
26:05kids whoo q htm show pie unke starting a exo film bade actors ke saath me unko
26:14portrait hoa or phir unne nye unka skill dhkhaa or they got successful phir unke saath
26:19me nye hero ko placement rake ke ake jana laga toh kabhi bhi na bollywood mein nao joh
26:26audience in a even female rate nye to ya male rate doh wo sab male dominating film
26:31dekhna pasand karthi or male dominating film dekhne work up nye actors ko directly
26:36nye role offer nye karthi aisa mujhe lagta hai lakin ya i think things will be changing
26:44and you can see the gundal has a our three actors are there they are having a good role
26:52in the cinema yes the major point is humare haa pe kya hota hai malo man ki film dekhne jana
27:01hai toh apne girlfriend ko leke jayenge dosko leke jayenge that's kind of a popcorn thing
27:06south mein there is a major difference ki wahan pe loog yeh merah hem karta vya
27:11yye iske zariye se ja ke dekhte hai yeh meri moral responsibility hai jake us film ko
27:17dekhe woh culture ko bada hai woh star ko bada kare yeh unka karthav hai jab yeh
27:22humare haa pe shuru hooga tab nobody will beat us absolutely
27:26uh Vikram Gokhale has played a lot of business role and uh the Mohan Dushi also played a lot of
27:35yeah the character see director ko agar yeh kraft mein ap dalo ge na ki yeh aisa ni aisa
27:40aisa ni aisa hai and i'm not looking as a director i had my barriers so mujhe meri archen hai
27:45toh mehre
27:46woha archen mein se rasta nikala hai toh mujhe woh character dikhe ka toh wohaise roll usko melega
27:50right right and finally winding up the question with gondar itself uh i i dread somewhere about the 25 minute
27:57opening monologue that you guys had i want to understand from you both how difficult i mean
28:02obviously you guys have had your training and this and that but pehli bar 25 minute ka karna it's i'm
28:07sure it's cumbersome so how was your you know how did you navigate through it it was lot of rehearsals
28:13lot of blocking and placing with the technical team and the cast and the 300 juniors that were on uh
28:19in
28:19the scene um i think the credit goes to his vision our dop amlindu sir uh to uh you know
28:27efficiently carry out the entire thing we rehearsed for a week we took there were uh we took around 27
28:33takes on 28th take we got our 25 minute long take so there was that and uh we actually rehearsed
28:40a lot
28:40honestly so when we were doing it our muscle memory already knew our placings everybody knew even the
28:45animals uh who were uh you know part of our 25 minute take they knew where they had to go
28:50so it was all rehearsed and uh i think that's the best part of you know uh mounting a film
28:57like this
28:58when you are well rehearsed you just it just seems easy or i or am i just saying it underselling
29:04it
29:05absolutely absolutely your heroine ne bol dia to bol dia bhai ne bola to bhai ne bol dia same same
29:10year
29:11same year it was completely collaborative yeah yeah absolutely absolutely you were working for our
29:16product union also responded well absolutely that's when we were able to have that 25 minutes uh opening
29:22take yeah yes i think with this we wind up the interview thank you so much thank you
