01:17It won't go so easily.

01:19But what if they give a place in the hospital?

01:21I have to tell the media how I got this role.

01:26Because of him. Because of Mr. Raj Thackeray.

01:31He told me that Akshay you should do this role.

01:35You should do this role.

01:38And I was taken aback.

02:12I really wanted to work with Akshay Kumar.

02:18There were a lot of people from the film industry.

02:20But I don't think I saw any other actor for this role.

02:24Because I needed a personality to do this role.

02:27I needed a look.

02:29And to be a true Hindu king.

02:35Akshay's image was also correct.

02:39I told him to keep all the films aside.

02:41First we have to do Shivaji with Akshay.

02:44How did you feel when you saw Akshay's look?

02:47When you were doing the make-up, you must have remembered all those days.

02:50No.

02:54This is not the final look.

02:56I still have to work on this.

02:58This is the first look.

03:01I was asking Rajsab.

03:04Chhatrapati Shivaji's nose was very...

03:09He had a very sharp nose.

03:11That's the only thing which I am at the moment seeing.

03:13But I have to work a lot on this.

03:15Akshay, you have done a lot of Marathi films.

03:17Why are you doing a role in a Marathi film for the first time?

03:20And that too of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.

03:22It's a big thing for the audience.

03:24But how big is it for you?

03:26To do such a legendary person's, personality's role.

03:32It's actually going to be a big responsibility.

03:36And it's going to be...

03:39I can't tell you how good I feel that I am going to do this role.

03:44It is going to go...

03:47In my dream come true kind of a role it is going to be for me.
