Transcript

00:00 What are the two roles you found better?

00:03 Gopi, because I love that character and there are a lot of mannerisms of people who are close to me,

00:09 my friends whom I have taken and tried to do my best to put into that role and it's a very exciting role,

00:16 very very cute role because anything right has to fall on his face and above all he's a cop, he's a policeman, so it's a lot of fun.

00:25 Is in this role, is there something personal also from your side, so that is why you are identifying more with the Gopi?

00:32 No, because I'm not a coward at all and I don't mess things up, I only put my hand into something which I'm very sure about.

00:40 I may be a very cautious person but I don't mess up and I liked it because I am a very humorous person,

00:48 you know with my friends and things like that, they do call me a joker because half the time all I'm doing is making them laugh.

00:54 Even if I go to a party, I don't maybe indulge in drinking or anything else, they want me there so that they can laugh,

01:00 so I'm like the buffoon around there and I liked it because Gopi is doing a lot of buffoonery also.

01:07 Tell us about your working with Karishma and Shilpa both together in this film, tell us about their roles and their tuning with each other.

01:14 One is lethal enough, I have two of the best dancers in the industry with me,

01:19 so basically doing the songs and the music part was very very difficult for me because I had to do a lot of rehearsals.

01:26 Karishma puts 100% of herself into a dance sequence, so does Shilpa.

01:32 Both are very good actresses, very spontaneous and what can I say, I mean I had the pleasure to work with one,

01:42 two of the best kids in the industry and I gel very very well with both of them.

01:46 It's a lot of fun, it shows on screen.

01:49 If in two lines you have to say about Gopi Kishan, what would you highlight?

01:53 I would say the film, it is a complete film with emotions, action, everybody in the film, Arunaji, Maunji, Suresh Oberoi,

02:04 everybody has done a brilliant job, Karishma is very good, Shilpa is also very very good.

02:10 It's a very good film, all I can say is it's a film to watch, it's a definite entertainer and yes a very clean film,

02:18 no hanky panky, no double meaning, no nothing.

02:23 It is a film every child, every woman, every mother, a grandmother, every member of the family can watch together.

03:17 - Of course, my family, my father, mother, my wife

03:21 has been very, very supportive towards

03:23 my entering the industry and have been,

03:27 you know, are my backbone.

03:30 But one of my closest friends called Shabbir,

03:32 Shabbir Boxwala, who was the one responsible for me

03:35 coming into this industry.

03:36 I mean, he was the one who introduced me to

03:38 Mr. JP Singhal, who did everything.

03:41 But if talking about friends and relatives

03:44 who have really supported me,

03:45 it is Shabbir who has supported me one hell of a lot.

03:47 And even when we are together,

03:50 we always sang the song together,

03:51 (speaking in foreign language)

03:55 from the film Sholay.

03:56 So this one is to him.
