00:03 Yeah, it's been seven, eight years

00:09 since people have seen me on a big screen in a Louis Dior.

00:13 So it was a big opportunity for me.

00:19 And I'm so grateful to God that it has come well,

00:23 at a well-timed thing, and not just as an actor,

00:26 but as a filmmaker.

00:27 Because as an actor, you are just a part of the story.

00:29 As a filmmaker, you are the storyteller.

00:31 And I did take a lot of risky treatment for the movie,

00:36 breaking the fourth wall, and a lot of movies in English.

00:40 But still, it was a poignant story that needed to be told.

00:44 And it is an alternate take at what we

00:48 have been fed as our history.

00:49 [WHOOSH]

00:51 Yeah, it was good.

00:53 My first attempt was to cast people

00:55 who look like the characters in real life.

00:58 And then the makeup design did a great job, Renu Kapil Dahi.

01:02 And they were all--

01:06 all actors are children.

01:07 As I've become a director, I'm realizing more

01:09 that all actors are children.

01:11 And they've all done a great job.

01:12 And I was a good father, sometimes a strict father.

01:16 But I had to get my job done.

01:19 And there was a lot of respect from all the actors to me

01:21 as an actor.

01:22 And they really trusted me when I directed them

01:25 or gave them suggestions.

01:27 So that worked out very well.

01:28 [WHOOSH]

01:30 It was-- so that was my aim.

01:32 When I got to know that there was--

01:34 there was so little known about him,

01:36 I was very angry about the fact that he's also a freedom

01:38 fighter and--

01:41 for our country.

01:42 So why is he looked at on a political lens

01:45 and maligned so much?

01:46 So I made a disruptor of a movie.

01:48 It is quite rebellious to go out there and make this movie.

01:52 But once I had taken it on, I thought, I have to finish it.

01:55 I've got to get it out there and keep the quality.

01:58 And now the quality is shining through

02:00 that in the fourth week also our shows are increasing.

02:03 Our capacity of the halls are getting bigger.

02:08 So it's working, the movie.

02:10 People have-- they owned up to it.

02:12 [WHOOSH]

02:14 We do have lesser screens.

02:16 The northern states especially have lesser screens.

02:18 Maharashtra has got a lot of screens.

02:20 And down south, there's a lot of screens.

02:22 So northern states have a lesser screen count.

02:24 And I think the best way to boost the business

02:28 is to have more screens and have it available for more people.

02:32 Our release was very limited release.

02:34 But we have grown screen by screen by screen.

02:37 And I'm very happy.

02:38 And maybe my next movie will have a larger screen

02:41 count and more.
