Dialogue: 0,0:00:00.26,0:00:05.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,4-5 months later, Salman bhai said you know I am going to play the cop. And I said but you
Dialogue: 0,0:00:05.05,0:00:08.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are playing a cop in Dabangg and Radhe, its going to be the third film that you will be
Dialogue: 0,0:00:08.97,0:00:14.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,playing a cop. He was like no but I like the organic reality of this film. I think that this is
Dialogue: 0,0:00:14.36,0:00:16.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,going to have a different view to it
Dialogue: 0,0:00:16.59,0:00:22.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,All actors always want that phantom shot. Who doesn’t want the slow motion right?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:22.42,0:00:25.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Everybody wants to one day see themselves do that phantom shot
Dialogue: 0,0:00:26.01,0:00:30.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A big superstar should always try something new because they are always repeating
Dialogue: 0,0:00:30.69,0:00:33.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,themselves but when they want to try something new then
Dialogue: 0,0:00:33.74,0:00:35.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there is also a box office pressure that binds them
Dialogue: 0,0:00:36.76,0:00:41.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But your last film didn’t make 100 crores so that means it wasn’t a hit. But actually, the thing
Dialogue: 0,0:00:41.08,0:00:47.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is the film is already made in a budget that it is also recovered its money so we are not risking anything
Dialogue: 0,0:00:47.60,0:00:51.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Hi guys this is Himesh and welcome to Pinkvilla. Today we have with us Aayush Sharma
Dialogue: 0,0:00:51.04,0:00:54.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who is all gearing up for Antim which is releasing on November 26.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:54.56,0:00:56.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Welcome to Pinkvilla Aayush, its lovely having you here.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:56.65,0:01:00.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Thank you so much brother. Its amazing to be with you and on Pinkvilla
Dialogue: 0,0:01:01.02,0:01:01.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Thank you
Dialogue: 0,0:01:01.92,0:01:05.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Aayush my first question to you is you have been involved in Antim right from the time, I
Dialogue: 0,0:01:05.80,0:01:08.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,think it has been three years. Could you tell us about the journey?
Dialogue: 0,0:01:08.74,0:01:14.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think in November we first time saw Mulshi Pattern and by December we had decided that
Dialogue: 0,0:01:14.39,0:01:19.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we are going to make this film. From January onwards I started training for it like you know.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:19.68,0:01:22.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,At that point in time, I didn’t really know that Salman bhai is going to be a part of it. I just
Dialogue: 0,0:01:22.65,0:01:25.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,knew that I am playing this character Rahulya and the rest of the casting is going to take time,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:25.63,0:01:29.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it’s going to happen soon. So, my first thing when I figured out that I am doing this character
Dialogue: 0,0:01:29.82,0:01:33.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,was like I want to really present myself in a new light. I really want to go out there and
Dialogue: 0,0:01:34.54,0:01:39.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,change the way my physical appearance is, through my voice, through my performance to
Dialogue: 0,0:01:39.04,0:01:45.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,have that kind of a graph that this character demands. At that point in time, I remember I
Dialogue: 0,0:01:45.11,0:01:49.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,thought this was going to be like 7-8 months and we will be able to do my transformation but
Dialogue: 0,0:01:50.11,0:01:56.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it was much difficult to actually put on that weight you know. It was like almost going in a 1
Dialogue: 0,0:01:56.03,0:02:03.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,kilo per month. So, I think in March I got in touch with Tiger, Tiger Shroff I called him up
Dialogue: 0,0:02:03.22,0:02:09.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I said, brother you know I really want to transform and do this film and this action film
Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.37,0:02:13.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I think you can really guide me in how to go about it. So he told me that you know why
Dialogue: 0,0:02:13.82,0:02:18.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,don’t you have my trainer? So, I go this trainer on board and the first thing that trainer told
Dialogue: 0,0:02:18.09,0:02:22.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,me that is sir I don’t think I can do it in 3-4 months. I mean like no, but why can’t we do it in
Dialogue: 0,0:02:22.45,0:02:28.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,3-4 months? I am not out of shape; I am much leaner. He said no, the kind of action you are
Dialogue: 0,0:02:28.70,0:02:33.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,looking for, the kind of stuff you are looking for it will give us. It will take minimum one
Dialogue: 0,0:02:33.12,0:02:38.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,year. It will be a gradual thing. You will need to first start training like an athlete. I want you
Dialogue: 0,0:02:38.66,0:02:44.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to be strong in real life to look strong on camera and so it will take time. You will have to lift,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:44.67,0:02:49.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,eat and you will have to really, really dedicate your life into this to actually do that. So, first
Dialogue: 0,0:02:49.19,0:02:52.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,thing I went and Salman bhai that its going to take some time, its not going to be as simple
Dialogue: 0,0:02:52.80,0:02:57.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and he said, don’t worry. Do it at your pace. Don’t do it in the pressure that you have to start
Dialogue: 0,0:02:57.03,0:03:02.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this film this year. We started that journey and then I think about 4-5 months later, Salman
Dialogue: 0,0:03:02.74,0:03:06.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,bhai said you know I am going to play the cop. And I said but you are playing a cop in
Dialogue: 0,0:03:06.74,0:03:10.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Dabangg and Radhe, its going to be the third film that you will be playing a cop. He was like
Dialogue: 0,0:03:10.28,0:03:16.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,no but I like the organic reality of this film. I think that this is going to have a different view
Dialogue: 0,0:03:16.90,0:03:22.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to it. Its not that typical cop who is going to be like you know completely out there. This film
Dialogue: 0,0:03:22.18,0:03:27.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,has a little bit of darkness to it and I really want to be part of it. I genuinely believe that it’s
Dialogue: 0,0:03:27.06,0:03:32.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,going to be good for you and I was very happy. Every actor it’s a dream to be on a poster
Dialogue: 0,0:03:32.94,0:03:36.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with him. I mean come on who doesn’t want to be on poster on with him? But obviously I
Dialogue: 0,0:03:36.81,0:03:43.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,knew that it is, I am up for a huge task because to even be worth of being on a frame it is not
Dialogue: 0,0:03:43.46,0:03:48.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,only a matter of physical transformation, it is not only a matter about trying to look, be or feel
Dialogue: 0,0:03:48.20,0:03:53.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,muscular. It had to be completely distinct you know my character had to be a worthy
Dialogue: 0,0:03:53.03,0:03:57.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,opponent to him so I think that took its own course. About a year and a half, we were just
Dialogue: 0,0:03:57.82,0:04:03.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,training and just working on this character and finally I think when Mahesh sir officially
Dialogue: 0,0:04:03.25,0:04:05.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,came on board and he started writing the film in the way that
Dialogue: 0,0:04:05.69,0:04:10.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,he saw the film that really helped in shaping up what happened.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:10.93,0:04:14.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And you know the film was initially titled Guns of North and I believe you were planning to
Dialogue: 0,0:04:14.43,0:04:17.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,set it up in the northern belt. How did that change happen
Dialogue: 0,0:04:17.61,0:04:19.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,after and how did the Sikh cop came into picture?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:19.69,0:04:23.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So basically, when we were working for this film, you know we thought we can you know
Dialogue: 0,0:04:23.75,0:04:29.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the situation back drop of where that story starts from is actually, we can set up in north. At
Dialogue: 0,0:04:29.61,0:04:32.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the same situation, same things have happened there as well so we thought we might be able
Dialogue: 0,0:04:32.55,0:04:37.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to set up north but eventually when we started going through the multiple drafts that we were
Dialogue: 0,0:04:37.56,0:04:44.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,writing we were not, I was not sure that we have the right approach to the film because it
Dialogue: 0,0:04:44.22,0:04:47.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,almost felt like we are having a very top angle view to this problem.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:49.59,0:04:55.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We had a very top angle view of this gangster and this whole world and how you know
Dialogue: 0,0:04:57.30,0:05:01.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,people come from this village and become gangsters in the city. I think I felt that it is very top
Dialogue: 0,0:05:01.09,0:05:06.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,angle view so did Salman bhai. He also felt that you know just to scale up the film it might
Dialogue: 0,0:05:06.45,0:05:11.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,actually lose the essence of what we really want to tell. A story we want to and then we
Dialogue: 0,0:05:12.09,0:05:17.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,decided we really got Mahesh sir back and we said we really want it to be a rooted film. A
Dialogue: 0,0:05:17.67,0:05:25.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,film that has real character, it should feel like a real film. We don’t need a glossy film on this.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:25.25,0:05:30.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This story doesn’t really have that kind of a backdrop that you can have choppers and this
Dialogue: 0,0:05:30.12,0:05:35.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,luxurious cars and this and that. Like my character in the film, he is not, he is the gangster of
Dialogue: 0,0:05:35.67,0:05:41.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Pune. But he is not some lavish gangster sitting who has this massive houses and he has
Dialogue: 0,0:05:41.78,0:05:43.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Not as flamboyant as we have seen
Dialogue: 0,0:05:43.63,0:05:49.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Yeah, yeah. He is a very real space of a gangster so that’s why we moved the film back and
Dialogue: 0,0:05:49.10,0:05:55.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we said that lets go to Antim. Let’s make the film we intended to make not go towards
Dialogue: 0,0:05:56.39,0:05:59.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And you know you said that you know when the film was conceptualised you were not
Dialogue: 0,0:05:59.40,0:06:03.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,aware, actually no one was aware that to who is going to play the cop. And for first 4-5
Dialogue: 0,0:06:03.27,0:06:07.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,months when you were training what were the discussions like because you know in the
Dialogue: 0,0:06:07.48,0:06:12.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,original film if we look at Mulshi Pattern it’s a very pivotal character but not as long in terms
Dialogue: 0,0:06:12.89,0:06:15.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of length. So, what were the discussion like and how did
Dialogue: 0,0:06:15.66,0:06:18.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that character evolved since you were involved in the journey right from the first day?
Dialogue: 0,0:06:19.64,0:06:25.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,See, when we as you rightly said in the original film cops character was actually like 25-30
Dialogue: 0,0:06:25.61,0:06:32.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,minutes of the film but there is a very, we felt that the climax when he says it was a very
Dialogue: 0,0:06:32.02,0:06:37.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,important scene if you think about it. When he says, what village are you from? He says
Dialogue: 0,0:06:37.64,0:06:44.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Mulshi. That point we felt was a very, very strong point. We felt that is a very strong point
Dialogue: 0,0:06:44.66,0:06:48.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then you know otherwise you are thinking there is a cop who us just doing his job, trying to
Dialogue: 0,0:06:48.33,0:06:53.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,go after a gangster. We felt that this is a very interesting thought to say that there are two
Dialogue: 0,0:06:53.76,0:06:59.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,people who had the same back story, who actually know they both know each other’s back
Dialogue: 0,0:06:59.66,0:07:08.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,story very well but on one side there is a cop who has been wronged but he chose to be a cop.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:09.00,0:07:15.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And there is one person who chose to be gangster so there’s a flip side to both the characters
Dialogue: 0,0:07:15.98,0:07:21.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and both of them had the choice so what Mahesh sir genuinely felt was the story also has the
Dialogue: 0,0:07:21.90,0:07:27.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,option to give a message out to people that at any given point of time even though you are
Dialogue: 0,0:07:27.19,0:07:31.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,wrong you still have an option of what path to choose and that’s something that we wanted to
Dialogue: 0,0:07:31.31,0:07:36.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,project so that’s why we increased the role and we also felt that there has to be a certain
Dialogue: 0,0:07:36.47,0:07:43.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,person who is the catalyst behind the journey. You know we need somebody who is making
Dialogue: 0,0:07:43.06,0:07:48.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,sure this journey is manoeuvring the way you know the ups and the downs of the character
Dialogue: 0,0:07:48.12,0:07:52.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,happen that’s what something we felt and that’s the reason why we increased the element.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:52.75,0:07:59.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We increased him very much pertaining to Hindi cinema, we involved him a little bit more,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:59.40,0:08:04.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we increased the run time, we gave him a little but of more cinematic treatment to obviously
Dialogue: 0,0:08:04.22,0:08:11.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,cater to his fans and the film story and make sure that he is still not away from the film. You
Dialogue: 0,0:08:11.36,0:08:15.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,know it should not be that he is a sperate entity of the film, he is very much also a character
Dialogue: 0,0:08:15.36,0:08:20.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the film like we all are just characters you know that’s how everybody is intertwined with each other.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:21.46,0:08:25.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And Aayush you know like you said you transformed for this role. How easy or difficult was
Dialogue: 0,0:08:25.98,0:08:28.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that transformation journey like and also because you know
Dialogue: 0,0:08:28.73,0:08:32.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in between the pandemic struck us in which delayed the process?
Dialogue: 0,0:08:32.54,0:08:37.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well I think the most difficult thing was the eating. I had to eat a lot. I had to constantly keep
Dialogue: 0,0:08:37.91,0:08:43.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,feeding myself and that was the most irritating thing. I remember when I was going on a
Dialogue: 0,0:08:43.38,0:08:47.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,vacation or something I had to go and choose hotels which had certain kind of a gym for me
Dialogue: 0,0:08:47.28,0:08:53.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to go to and you know meals booked in advance and eat that. So I think the most difficult part
Dialogue: 0,0:08:53.68,0:08:59.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about the transformation was more than anything was just eating, training everyday like there
Dialogue: 0,0:08:59.41,0:09:03.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,were no of off days so it used to be training every day and then there used to be
Dialogue: 0,0:09:03.82,0:09:08.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,physiotherapy in the night and there used to be ice bath in the night just to make sure we
Dialogue: 0,0:09:08.56,0:09:13.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,don’t get injured, to make sure that, there used to be constant process. It was almost like how
Dialogue: 0,0:09:13.72,0:09:18.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,athletes’ train. And then by the end of it got to me you know
Dialogue: 0,0:09:18.62,0:09:25.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And you know talking about the delay due to pandemic, did that ever bother you because you
Dialogue: 0,0:09:25.19,0:09:29.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,even at the trailer launch Salman sir said that Aayush used to be, when will we start? And
Dialogue: 0,0:09:29.71,0:09:31.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you lost patience that one point of time
Dialogue: 0,0:09:32.04,0:09:38.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So its but natural because my first film came out in 2018 and I had decided to do this film in
Dialogue: 0,0:09:38.29,0:09:44.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,beginning of 2019. Now you are like prepping for it, there’s been delays and I have to still
Dialogue: 0,0:09:44.75,0:09:48.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,work on myself and there is certain amount of days so 2019 is gone in that and then there is

Dialogue: 0,0:09:53.93,0:09:58.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,okay so as an actor sometimes you feel like I debuted in 2018 now if I don’t have a release in
Dialogue: 0,0:09:58.70,0:10:03.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,2019 then it looks like that there is nothing happening you know those thoughts come to your
Dialogue: 0,0:10:03.13,0:10:10.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,head. You get like but I had taken up something as Antim which was quite bigger than what I
Dialogue: 0,0:10:10.61,0:10:15.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,could chew and that needed that kind of effort and that patience to make sure that it happens
Dialogue: 0,0:10:15.90,0:10:22.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the right way so finally when it was about to start in 2020 then the pandemic happened and
Dialogue: 0,0:10:22.52,0:10:32.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,just you are like that’s work more towards, the three year period by the end of it just felt like I
Dialogue: 0,0:10:32.90,0:10:37.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,hope by the time this film releases I hope I don’t have to come back and introduce myself to
Dialogue: 0,0:10:37.06,0:10:41.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,people that you know that I had to, I hope the wait was worth it
Dialogue: 0,0:10:41.22,0:10:44.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you know that to wait for something like Antim was worth it
Dialogue: 0,0:10:44.43,0:10:50.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And you know talking about Loveyatri and the journey since then what made you decide to
Dialogue: 0,0:10:50.53,0:10:54.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you know step away from lighter space, the rom com space and you know switch to
Dialogue: 0,0:10:54.100,0:10:58.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,something as intense as Antim? And what were the offers that
Dialogue: 0,0:10:58.68,0:11:00.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,were coming your way in between that?
Dialogue: 0,0:11:00.66,0:11:09.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,See my first reaction after the feedback I got to me after Loveyatri I always wanted to make
Dialogue: 0,0:11:09.37,0:11:14.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,sure that I do something else in my next film. Obviously, some offers were coming again that
Dialogue: 0,0:11:14.17,0:11:18.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I was a boy next door, falling in love with a girl and the songs and the story and how all these
Dialogue: 0,0:11:18.70,0:11:24.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,things go by but I genuinely didn’t feel convinced that I want to comeback, to another
Dialogue: 0,0:11:24.93,0:11:30.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,romantic comedy you know I think that was the first film. I really wanted to shift gears in the
Dialogue: 0,0:11:30.94,0:11:36.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,second film. I genuinely feel that you know right now its too early in my career to box myself
Dialogue: 0,0:11:36.91,0:11:41.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in one zone and say this is who I am and this is what I am going to always do. I believe there
Dialogue: 0,0:11:41.09,0:11:45.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is I have time, I have the energy, I am young to keep manoeuvring, keep changing myself to
Dialogue: 0,0:11:45.90,0:11:50.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,do something else and you know if something excites you, why not? And action has always
Dialogue: 0,0:11:50.39,0:11:56.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,been one of my favourite genres you know. Let’s be honest all actors always want that
Dialogue: 0,0:11:56.40,0:12:01.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,phantom shot. Who doesn’t want the slow motion right? Everybody wants to one day see
Dialogue: 0,0:12:01.37,0:12:06.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,themselves do that phantom shot and I still remember that when finally, the teaser, the first
Dialogue: 0,0:12:06.60,0:12:10.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,look of Antim came out and I am running Salman bhai asked me what do you think of it?
Dialogue: 0,0:12:10.46,0:12:15.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You think it’s works? I said I don’t know I am just happy that it’s a phantom shot. I am just
Dialogue: 0,0:12:15.18,0:12:19.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,happy that this whole action thing is coming out, I am just happy with that because that’s like
Dialogue: 0,0:12:19.98,0:12:28.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a dream come true for every actor to have a phantom shot so I just felt that if I really need to
Dialogue: 0,0:12:28.23,0:12:33.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,make an impact, I need to throw myself at a different ship altogether you know. In my first
Dialogue: 0,0:12:33.13,0:12:39.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,film I tried to be this romantic, sweet character and my second film because that’s what the
Dialogue: 0,0:12:39.14,0:12:44.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,challenge was first thing that many people told me that you are too cute looking for being a
Dialogue: 0,0:12:44.41,0:12:50.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,gangster. But I said that’s the challenge. This is something that we have here that you look
Dialogue: 0,0:12:50.73,0:12:55.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like this so you can’t do this but if you go to see films in Hollywood people, they change
Dialogue: 0,0:12:56.05,0:13:00.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,according to films. It’s not about how you look. You change, you put on weight, you lose
Dialogue: 0,0:13:00.69,0:13:05.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,weight. If Christian Bale can put on so much of muscles and then lose it so can I
Dialogue: 0,0:13:05.93,0:13:09.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And Aayush you know this is your second film so there might not be much of box office
Dialogue: 0,0:13:09.71,0:13:13.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,pressure on you but you know with Salman Khan’s involvement there is a certain number
Dialogue: 0,0:13:13.94,0:13:18.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that everyone expects, what sort of discussions are there on that front between you and him
Dialogue: 0,0:13:19.03,0:13:22.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because you know whenever his films come its like 100 crores in three days and then what
Dialogue: 0,0:13:22.83,0:13:25.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,next, we will see. So what are the discussions around that?
Dialogue: 0,0:13:25.87,0:13:31.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,See I think when we started the idea of Antim was actually to attempt something different for
Dialogue: 0,0:13:31.16,0:13:36.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,me and for him as well you know I think last couple of films that he has done it is the first
Dialogue: 0,0:13:36.58,0:13:40.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,time that there is no female protagonist for him, there is no song where he is romancing
Dialogue: 0,0:13:40.26,0:13:43.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,anybody or there is something like that. We are doing something different this time so we
Dialogue: 0,0:13:43.59,0:13:46.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,were mentally prepared that we are actually signing up for something which is going to be
Dialogue: 0,0:13:46.62,0:13:53.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,different either and this is a honest conversation. Either it is loved because it’s a dark film if
Dialogue: 0,0:13:53.21,0:13:57.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it’s not loved it might not get loved, its fine. But even he wanted to attempt it, even I wanted
Dialogue: 0,0:13:57.40,0:14:02.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to attempt it and I feel that at this point in time I genuinely don’t have as you rightly said I
Dialogue: 0,0:14:02.07,0:14:07.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,don’t have the box office pressure but his name is expecting something. People are expecting
Dialogue: 0,0:14:07.15,0:14:13.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,those things but I think it is all about experimenting. Sometimes I genuinely feel that we
Dialogue: 0,0:14:13.90,0:14:20.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,always speaking on his behalf that a big superstar should always try something new because
Dialogue: 0,0:14:20.47,0:14:24.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they are always repeating themselves but when they want to try something new then there is
Dialogue: 0,0:14:24.73,0:14:26.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,also a box office pressure that binds them
Dialogue: 0,0:14:27.46,0:14:31.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But your last film didn’t make 100 crores so that means it wasn’t a hit. But actually, the thing
Dialogue: 0,0:14:31.78,0:14:37.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is the film is already made in a budget that it is also recovered its money so we are not risking
Dialogue: 0,0:14:37.56,0:14:44.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,anything out here but that image of 100 crore but that also boxes you into that small thing that
Dialogue: 0,0:14:44.14,0:14:48.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,100 crores if you want to keep playing in that club you might have to repeat yourself all the time.
Dialogue: 0,0:14:48.57,0:14:50.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So there are no pressures in that front?
Dialogue: 0,0:14:50.63,0:14:55.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,No, I think we are very content with the fact that we are trying to tell something. This is a
Dialogue: 0,0:14:55.29,0:15:01.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,different film for both of us that’s why you know we feel that I just feel that this film has, this
Dialogue: 0,0:15:01.07,0:15:08.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,film will see its own destiny and I think there will be people when we went into the whole
Dialogue: 0,0:15:08.18,0:15:11.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,sequences there were times when we would say that you know Salman bhai’s film audiences
Dialogue: 0,0:15:11.70,0:15:18.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are more family audiences, is it okay to have this in the film? Are we okay to be so brutal in
Dialogue: 0,0:15:18.21,0:15:24.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the film and the idea was that I think its high time we need to, we can't always be catering to
Dialogue: 0,0:15:24.29,0:15:31.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,same cinema. He is always been a huge superstar and he just told me I have time between
Dialogue: 0,0:15:32.31,0:15:34.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,before Tiger starts and I genuinely want to do this film
Dialogue: 0,0:15:34.87,0:15:37.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as an experiment for myself as well so I think that’s exciting.
Dialogue: 0,0:15:38.52,0:15:40.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And Aayush what next for you after Antim?
Dialogue: 0,0:15:40.65,0:15:45.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well there are you know I genuinely feel that I really don’t want to rush into anything you
Dialogue: 0,0:15:45.17,0:15:49.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,know I just feel that you know everything depends mainly for Antim because this is a big
Dialogue: 0,0:15:49.21,0:15:53.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,film for people to actually gauge what I am capable of. So I would not say that there is
Dialogue: 0,0:15:53.45,0:15:57.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,multiple offer that I am getting or I am this film and that film and I am sitting and work, this
Dialogue: 0,0:15:57.47,0:16:02.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is not that. I genuinely feel that there is going to be a, its going to be a career defining film for
Dialogue: 0,0:16:02.36,0:16:07.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,me. It’s a very important film for me if it does connect, if it does get the appreciation and the
Dialogue: 0,0:16:07.51,0:16:12.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,love then it will be based on Antim. Right now, everybody will talk about movies but they
Dialogue: 0,0:16:12.64,0:16:18.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,will not start the time Antim shows its merit at the box office. So I really don’t want to rush
Dialogue: 0,0:16:18.66,0:16:25.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,into it you know based on anything, I just want to take my time. After my first film I took my
Dialogue: 0,0:16:25.09,0:16:30.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,time to work on the things that I was told that this is the things that I ned to work on as an
Dialogue: 0,0:16:30.19,0:16:34.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,actor. I worked on it and I came to Antim. So I am sure there will be some feedback that I
Dialogue: 0,0:16:34.19,0:16:37.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,will get after Antim, I will work on that and then I will what I want to do next
Dialogue: 0,0:16:37.72,0:16:43.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But there are reports about you doing another film with Salman that’s Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali? Is there
Dialogue: 0,0:16:43.35,0:16:46.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,any truth to that or there have been multiple reports for the last two years that’s why?
Dialogue: 0,0:16:47.60,0:16:53.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, you know this film is definitely on floors, its called Bhaijaan and I think they are
Dialogue: 0,0:16:53.27,0:16:58.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,already Sajid bhai and Salman Bhai discussing for it. I think it all depends if you know Sajid
Dialogue: 0,0:16:58.88,0:17:02.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,bhai and Salman bhai want me in the film and if they offer me and tell me to do the film I
Dialogue: 0,0:17:02.88,0:17:06.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,will definitely be a part of it and why not? It is Farhad sir is
Dialogue: 0,0:17:06.34,0:17:09.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,directing it, Sajid bhai is there, Salman bhai is there, I think it’s kickass
Dialogue: 0,0:17:09.92,0:17:13.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Perfect. Thank you so much Aayush. Lovely talking to you and wish you all the best for Antim
Dialogue: 0,0:17:13.68,0:17:14.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Thank you, thank you.
