00:00I think there's a cliché that laughter is the best medicine and it's a really fun thing

00:12to do.

00:13I mean, we live sometimes in stressful times, cinema's a good escape, you know, and there's

00:19serious adventure films you can do that with and sometimes, a lot of the time, I'm in the

00:24mood for a good comedy and I think Sajid makes really funny films.

00:28I mean, he likes to laugh, you know, he spends a lot of his time laughing which I think is

00:33so wonderful and disarming and lovely.

00:36Of course I've learned one big lesson and that lesson is that my name is synonymous

00:40with comedy and that is what I have misled the audiences in my last film and they outright

00:45rejected it, like you said.

00:47And they've created a monster now who's going to continue making these films.

00:51Comedies, yeah.

00:52I think that's what people want, you know, I think when you put out, that's what they

00:57want.

00:58So, you should put out what they want, you know.

01:00I think what Ritesh and I know about Saif is what nobody else in the world knows about him.

01:06Saif has, people have multiple personalities, Saif has multiple, multiple, multiple, his

01:10personalities have humshakals, excuse me.

01:12He's a playmate.

01:13No!

01:14I mean, you're saying I'm six different people.

01:16Eight to ten.

01:17Is it eight to ten?

01:18I think it's four.

01:19No, it's three.

01:20It's three.

01:21It's definitely six.

01:22Six?

01:23We counted six the other day.

01:24We counted six the other day.

01:26Okay, I don't know if I should tell the story.

01:28Of course you should.

01:29So, we cancelled the dub for the day, and suddenly Sajid realised he didn't have anything

01:37to do.

01:38No, we didn't cancel the dub, he cancelled the dub for the day and I was waiting at the

01:41dub.

01:42So, he's waiting there and then he sort of didn't call or anything and turned up at home

01:46and there's this glass door that separates, you know, the outside from the living room.

01:50And he came and he was breathing on the glass and it looked a little like a horror movie

01:54and he had this look in his eye like, I'm going to get you.

01:57And he came and he said, what are you doing?

02:00What are you doing?

02:01Why aren't you dubbing?

02:02And it was like, I was completely stalked.

02:04So, that was, you know, not annoying.

02:06Kind of scary.

02:07He's got boundary issues.

02:09Yeah, he's got boundary issues.

02:11Which is so sweet.

02:13I bound Hari once but he cut me off.

02:16I think there's something so honest about comedy, you know.

02:19There's something that is devoid of dignity and devoid of, you know, pretense and trying

02:23to be over smart and trying to be clever.

02:26You're just trying to make people laugh and I think there's something so pure and simple

02:30in that.

02:31And this is the kind of film which I don't know what the most intelligent critics will

02:36have to say but I hope to see young people and innocent people having a big laugh, you

02:42know.

02:43And that's what we're looking forward to.

02:49Thanks for watching.
