Transcript

00:00People have started calling you OTT's Shah Rukh Khan

00:03Who are you?

00:04A lot of people

00:06What you call a start-up is divided

00:08Only one person won't get everything

00:17What would Kota's Jeetu Sir suggest to the Panchayat's Abhishek?

00:24I think the way Abhishek Tripathi is behaving in Season 2

00:30He is a little comfortable

00:32I think Kota's Jeetu Sir will tell him to continue

00:36Be comfortable

00:42What was his reaction when you got success?

00:45Did he express it?

00:47No, he doesn't express it at all

00:49And he doesn't react at all

00:52But yes, when something happens

00:55People around him come and say

00:57I just saw the Panchayat

00:59How did you convince your father?

01:02Don't ask

01:03I used to think that my parents are very aware of things

01:07They know a lot of things

01:08But somehow

01:09Some things are not for them

01:11Like leaving IIT and going into acting

01:14This is not for them

01:15So there will be a reaction

01:17It will take time to convince them

01:20So I think every youth

01:22In this phase

01:24When they are 24-23 years old

01:27They have to face these things

01:29Whatever their parents want them to do

01:32Whether it's about their love life

01:34Or about their jobs

01:36Or if they have a different perspective of life

01:40They have to explain it to them

01:42They struggle in that

01:44And I think

01:46Entertainment and stories are around that

01:50What about that struggling phase?

01:52Where you were coaching

01:54When I came here

01:55YouTube had evolved a lot

01:57I wasn't a cinema actor at that time

01:59But I was acting somewhere

02:01That was a good thing

02:03But the people who came before me

02:05They had to wait a lot

02:07To reach cinema

02:09To reach those stories

02:11That struggle is a very dangerous space

02:20The character in season 2

02:22Who you call Banrakas

02:25He's a great Banrakas

02:27Do you think it's necessary to have this character?

02:31Banrakas type in every village

02:33I think it's necessary

02:36I want everyone to be a hero

02:38I don't want any villain to exist

02:41Banrakas doesn't feel he's doing anything wrong

02:44That's our perspective

02:46Our notion

02:48How we see it

02:53Any story of engineering

02:55That you've never told

02:57The placement time was funny

03:00A lot of funny things were happening

03:02There was a scene

03:04A company came and said

03:06We'll only take 6-pointers

03:08No 7, no 5

03:10We only need 6-pointers

03:12A lot of people wore formals for the first time

03:14The shirt had a funny visual

03:16They made fun of me

03:18That I wore 6-pointers for the first time

03:20And everyone's clothes were shining

03:22People call you the Shahrukh Khan of OTT

03:26Who?

03:28A lot of people

03:35Do you think OTT has the capability

03:38To take you to stardom?

03:41I think that reach is possible

03:45Everyone has internet

03:47Everyone is connected

03:49There are a lot of people

03:51On the other side of the screen

03:53The one you call stardom

03:55Is divided

03:57Choose one

03:59Bachelors is fun

04:01Is the door closed?

04:03Windows?

04:05Speakers?

04:07Will you be able to tell us

04:09About your next project?

04:11No

04:13I'll ask this question in a different way

04:15Why do Saxena Sarkar and Kumar

04:17Always hit this cocktail?

04:19What's the secret?

04:21I've worked a lot with Sarkar

04:23We have a different chemistry

04:25He's my senior

04:27We've done a lot of plays

04:29He used to write, I used to act

04:31There's an understanding

04:33If we're going to do something

04:35Even if it's a serious script

04:37We try to find fun in it

04:39I think that's a formula

04:41I think that comfort zone

04:43When you create something

04:45I think that works with audiences
