00:00I am very excited. My picture theatre is coming in many years.

00:05I am very happy to say that after 30 odd years, I think I am really happy that I have a film coming to the theatre screens.

00:17If you have seen romantic movies, rom-coms, what would you like to say to the audience?

00:25I would like to say that every actor has to reinvent yourself every time.

00:34I have always thought that I would do a horror picture.

00:43My mother started there. When we listened to the story on script level,

00:48we thought that we are not making a horror picture. We thought that we are making a thriller.

00:54But by the time the script came about and by the time we figured out what the climax should be,

00:59we had to make it a horror. It had to be. It had to be that genre.

01:04So yes, we are very very happy. We are very happy that our attempts are complete.

01:11And the picture is now ready for the big screen.

01:15I thought that the script is good. It was a good, tight script.

01:20And of course, the most important thing is that I think the actor's name is Ambika in the picture.

01:30And we are talking about Kalima.

01:34So, where the story starts, I am a big mythological buff.

01:37I love mythology.

01:39Our Indian mythology has so many stories.

01:42So, I think it was one of my favourite stories.

01:45So, I think that's the reason, basically.

01:48So, as you said about Maa Kali,

01:50you have a very special and spiritual connection with Maa Kali.

01:55People often see Durga Pooja's time,

01:58and also see your time.

01:59How much depth do you feel about your character?

02:03I think it has been a lot of depth.

02:10I think it has been a lot of depth.

02:12But in the picture, I must say that I have felt that Maa's hand is in our head.

02:19And we are doing the right thing.

02:25The picture we are taking together in the picture,

02:28because I think that we are telling us what we are doing.

02:31what we want to do, which way we want to go.

02:36I am very grateful that I have done this film.

02:39I am very grateful to her.

02:46I don't think my perception has changed at all.

02:49I think the mother becomes an important thing

02:54when her child is born.

02:57I don't know how to do it.

03:01You can go without sleep for 6-7 months.

03:06You are not sleeping. You are not eating well.

03:09You are doing whatever you are doing.

03:11You are running above and down.

03:12You are managing everything.

03:14Just for this little and small knowledge.

03:18It is something that is just there inside you.

03:22It happens to you.

03:23Everything is doing.

03:24You don't have to be especially intelligent,

03:29especially weak or especially strong to do that.

03:32I think all mothers do that.

03:34Every mother does it for their children.

03:36Our story is the main base.

03:41It is the same.

03:42When you talk about children,

03:45you cannot stop.

03:47You will come back.

03:48When we talk about Ajay sir.

03:50I think Ajay sir has become a film called Shaitan.

03:53It was a very successful movie.

03:55Now you are also a horror movie.

03:57So what do you think of Ajay sir?

03:58What about you talking about?

03:59After all the other things you've come to talk about?

04:00When this story is a teenager.

04:01Was it an interesting course to you?

04:02It was a short discussion.

04:07No discussion was happening.

04:08Now he's a very hands-on producer.

04:20And in this film, he has a lot of attention to the script to the music, to the VFX also.

04:32So I think VFX is a huge part of the film.

04:34He's been a very hands-on producer, I would say.

04:50So what is next?

04:57I have no idea.

05:07I have no idea.

05:07It will depend on...

05:09I don't know actually.

05:11Like I said, my script is my biggest hero.

05:14And who will have written a script and what will be known?

05:19We'll see what happens.

05:20And I am very proud of the film.

05:22I am very, very proud of the film.

05:24I think we have made a very good film.

05:26We've made a very good picture.

05:28Yes.

05:29If you like it or not, he will tell the exam.

05:33But...

05:34I have made a very good picture.

05:38So please go and watch it.

05:40It's released 27 June.

05:42And in cinemas, June 27th.

05:46I have made a very good picture.
