00:00Sir, I am sure that the audience has a very realistic and layered story-telling.

00:05So, is it going to be the direction of Indian content or the point of the journey of the journey?

00:14Yes, it is.

00:15And I think that the audience likes to be layered story.

00:18So, I have just said that this is not just a murder mystery.

00:23We want to see the audience for the story of the people, for the friends and for the story of the story.

00:28Jealousy, Lalaj's story, a character, Devika, who is running away from the past, or how many terms comes from the past,

00:39or how many tragedies are dealing with a tragedy, that is very important.

00:43If we only have a murder mystery, the audience will not see it.

00:46Because characters' story and their journey are very important.

00:50And if there are 9 characters, if there are 9 characters, every character is different.

00:56The story is different. The story is different. The journey is different.

01:00That's why you get a layering in a story.

01:03Because when we craft a scene, when we come to Devika and a person comes to a person,

01:09it becomes different because they take their character.

01:14The layering is the same.

01:17The investigation is normal.

01:19But the way they act on the way they do.

01:22We look at the way the layering on the way they evolve.

01:27That's why the following figure is this place.

01:29That's why it is not a murder mystery.

01:33The story is about the actual period, the journeys, the friendship,

01:37There are journeys, friends, friendship and Devika's story.

01:43Devika's story is the end of the last scene until you have to see it until Devika doesn't understand.

01:53Shriya, I want you to know that when you received this role,

01:57when you read the script,

01:59you thought you would be able to handle it or not?

02:03Of course. I didn't study the script.

02:07What is most important is that more than anything else,

02:11I think Devika and Shriya had listened to the characters.

02:17She had listened to the world.

02:19And the script was being made,

02:23we had confidence that Shriya won't kill her.

02:27We were able to convince her that Devika and the other characters

02:31are on their journey.

02:33That's what I feel.

02:35Actually, when I'm reading a script,

02:37as an audience, I'm reading it first.

02:39I'm enjoying it.

02:41I think there is a lot of fun.

02:43As actors, we keep reading a lot of scripts.

02:45Some scripts are immediately connected.

02:47You have to know that you have to take a leap of faith.

02:51You have to take a leap of faith.

02:53I didn't think what will happen

02:55or what will happen.

02:57Because honestly, no one can tell.

02:59No guarantee.

03:01If you do something authentically,

03:03some things can surprise you.

03:05Sometimes with absolute newcomers,

03:07you tell an authentic story.

03:09Sometimes you take super duper stars.

03:11So, I thought,

03:13do I want to take a leap of faith in this journey?

03:15I think the answer was yes.

03:17And the team is very important.

03:19To be confident in a team,

03:21because I've heard a lot of people

03:23where my actor friends have been in great sets

03:25but they haven't enjoyed it.

03:27You know?

03:29Sir, can you change season 2?

03:31It can change.

03:33It can change because

03:35as we said,

03:37we don't think

03:39and I think

03:41Zee5

03:42has also thought

03:43that Shalkhapat the Deception will continue.

03:45But

03:47if Devika

03:48likes people

03:50and Devika's character

03:51likes people,

03:52then yes,

03:53there is potential

03:55that this story can continue.

03:57Now, there are two important things.

03:59First,

04:00the audience should love this story

04:02and Devika should love this story.

04:04It's a format of...

04:05It's a format.

04:06Let's talk about Devika's story.

04:08And the other one is

04:09that Shreya should be available

04:10and Shreya should be ready to work with us again.

04:14And Shreya should be convinced

04:15that you can do it.

04:17So,

04:18that's the most important

04:19for each decision.

04:21Glamorous Devika in the next season.

04:23Sure.

04:24It depends on that.

04:25But there is potential.

04:27Shriya,

04:28how was it physically

04:29training?

04:30How was it emotionally?

04:32I mean, honestly,

04:33this project

04:35was not draining

04:36but

04:37physically

04:38it was draining

04:39because

04:40in a few days

04:41we had a shoot

04:42so

04:43we had a lot of fun.

04:44And

04:45you know,

04:46there were changes

04:47as we were going along.

04:48It was a different experience

04:49for me.

04:50But once

04:51we surrendered to it,

04:52you know,

04:53it was like a team effort

04:54and that happened.

04:55as we did it.

04:56And also,

04:57the way we had shot

04:58and we had long takes

05:00even for time.

05:02You know,

05:03we didn't take a shot

05:05with typical shots

05:06but some things

05:07we had explored in long takes

05:08because others

05:09were really good actors.

05:10So,

05:11it was a lot of fun.

05:13And

05:14I had a first time

05:15I had a shoot

05:16in a few days

05:17so that was another experience.

05:19I was different.

05:21What was your feature predicts?

05:24In July, I have an interesting part in a series.

05:31Let's say that I am playing a dark character.

05:39It will be announced at some point.

05:42There are two independent films that I am very excited.

05:48I think we have so many good writers.

05:51And I think the combination of actors and new writers going on a journey,

05:58that is very important.

05:59Because when you don't get the opportunities,

06:02you have to create the opportunities.

06:05I feel like it is possible.

06:07So, I am trying to create opportunities for myself.

06:11And of course, Mirzapur the film is also there.

06:15So, that is still kind of in process.

06:18Shri, I want you to know something.

06:20I mean, being blessed with Sachin Pilgrim's daughter.

06:25And Supriya.

06:26Yeah, Supriya Pilgrim's daughter.

06:28How many advice do you give in the script?

06:31So, if you go and take some advice, how do you do it?

06:34Of course, if there is a doubt in my mind,

06:36then I will definitely ask.

06:38But the amazing thing is,

06:40I mean, their experience is so.

06:42both, I think, at heart, pure artists.

06:45And they always say that,

06:47they enable me to ask the right questions.

06:53You know, they will never say,

06:55do it or do it.

06:56They will ask me to help me clear my mind out.

07:00And sometimes, I don't discuss much,

07:03because I want to see an audience.

07:05But the best part is,

07:07if I want to work in dialects,

07:09or I want to ask something in language,

07:12then it's amazing that I have the luxury

07:15that I will ask them.

07:16And when they see my work,

07:18they see an audience properly,

07:20as an artist,

07:22and generally,

07:23their feedback.

07:24I know.

07:25So, you think that,

07:26Supreme Ma'am and Sachin Sarajan

07:27are people who come to the house.

07:28I know.

07:29So, you will be foolish

07:31that you will give them advice.

07:33Absolutely.

07:34So, I think it's,

07:35I mean, they are just such,

07:37great artists.

07:39Yeah.

07:40They both are so good,

07:41you know,

07:42and so experienced.

07:44And I think she is privileged,

07:47that she can at least,

07:49give them advice.

07:50Of course,

07:51and the creative conversations,

07:53and that learning is so important.

07:55It's like my mini film school at home,

07:57you know.

07:58True.

07:59So, I mean,

08:00I mean,

08:01Papa always says,

08:02I'm learning from juniors,

08:03seniors,

08:04but keep learning.

08:05So, when I'm in front of the camera,

08:07what I'm doing at the camera,

08:09what I'm doing at the camera,

08:10I like to learn.

08:11You know,

08:12I ask questions,

08:13because I want to go ahead,

08:14I want to direct and produce.

08:16So,

08:17it is a learning process for me.

08:19True.

08:20So,

08:21yeah,

08:22there,

08:23and,

08:24like my father says,

08:25that,

08:26you know,

08:27an actor can't be selfish,

08:28that he only sees his part.

08:29You know,

08:30you have to read the whole story.

08:32and,

08:33you know,

08:34journalism,

08:35film making,

08:36and now,

08:37digital content.

08:38It's a very diverse journey.

08:40So,

08:41how do you see this transition,

08:42how do you shape the story teller,

08:45especially,

08:46while making chal kapat?

08:47I think,

08:48for me,

08:49it's been a privilege,

08:50to honestly say,

08:51that,

08:52when I started my career,

08:53I was a radio jockey,

08:54then I was a journalist.

08:55You were a radio jockey?

08:56I was a original radio jockey in Delhi.

08:58Wow!

08:59I did it.

09:00Then,

09:01I did it.

09:02Then,

09:03I did it.

09:04Then,

09:05I did it.

09:06I did it.

09:07I think,

09:08my grounding,

09:09what journalism has done,

09:10helps me to help me today.

09:11Because,

09:12as a journalist,

09:13I've learned a very important thing,

09:14that,

09:16you keep talking with people.

09:18Because,

09:19it doesn't happen.

09:20You know,

09:21it's one of the people's attention.

09:22So,

09:23talking with real people,

09:24it's the stories,

09:25and there are many stories,

09:26that,

09:27in the past,

09:28I think,

09:29all the characters I've seen,

09:31even in some places.

09:33So,

09:34I'm going to think,

09:35that,

09:36you know,

09:37people can then see the stories.

09:39Because they don't see them.

09:40They're not a imagination to me.

09:42And,

09:43the� characters I've seen,

09:44even in some places,

09:45as a journalist,

09:46I'm very much liking them.

09:50So,

09:51all the other people have been reading,

09:52from now to me,

09:53in some places.

09:54I think I can proudly say that I will read five days a day.

09:58Five days a day.

09:59I will read the day and the world will be there.

10:02So, there are stories from them.

10:04There are stories from them.

10:05There are people from there.

10:07There are people from there.

10:09There are people from there.

10:10There are characters from there.

10:11And they get to meet them and then they make a story.

10:14Because there are so interesting things in our lives,

10:20that you can imagine your story to make a story.

10:23You don't need it.

10:25You can take a lot of things from there.

10:27You know, we have worked on social media.

10:30So, when you watch the show,

10:33you will see social media influences in your daily life.

10:37Devikar's director has said that it was like this.

10:40So, to be connected to realism,

10:42I think journalism days is a big boon for me,

10:47a big day for me,

10:48which I am using and I am extremely proud of it.

10:51Sir, can you give me a message to the audience?

10:55Sir, there are so many messages.
