When I was researching and writing the film 'Shaheed'...
00:06
...Kanuji Angre, who is known as the first naval admiral...
00:20
...was in the sea...
00:24
...he would stop British ships...
00:32
...and steal their ammunition.
00:35
He would kill them.
00:37
This was his character.
00:40
I thought...
00:43
...that in our country there were kings, princes and nobles.
00:48
How did the masses rise?
00:54
If the masses rose, there would be no farmers.
00:58
Our country is ruled by farmers.
01:01
Some fought and some surrendered.
01:06
I was making a film, 'Naya Bharat'.
01:13
Indira ji had asked me to make it in an emergency.
01:17
I signed Salim Javed.
01:21
I told him to write the story and I would write the dialogue.
01:25
We became very close.
01:28
I have known Salim since 1958.
01:32
He is not just someone I know...
01:35
...or someone I know from my profession.
01:39
He is not just a friend.
01:43
He is more than a brother to me.
01:48
In an emergency...
01:54
...I was told that I had read a bad news.
02:00
The film was dropped.
02:05
I said, "Yes, it is there."
02:09
I would sit down...
02:14
...and write the scene.
02:20
I would tell Salim on the phone or Javed at his house.
02:27
But I was so emotionally close to him...
02:35
...that I gave him the name.
02:40
But...
02:44
...Salim Javed worked very clearly.
02:51
Six or eight weeks before the release of the film...
02:55
...he wrote in the film information...
02:59
...that there is nothing for us in the revolution.
03:02
Whatever has been done, it is done by Munoz Kumar.
