Transcript
00:00Mika, many thanks for speaking to India today.
00:03You have raised your voice, Daljit Dosanjh's against.
00:06You have said that you should ask mafia.
00:08You have suggested that you should postpone your picture of your picture.
00:13Why do you think this is very necessary?
00:16But for us, it is a country.
00:18And I will again say, I will again say that I am against any country.
00:23But now our relations, our relations are now big.
00:28Because back-to-back,
00:30India has been attacked and it is still happening.
00:33So when we have a little time for our relations, our friends, our friends, our friends are not good, our friends are not good.
00:39We can avoid these things.
00:42And if you have any mistakes, if you have any mistakes, I will again say that I am against against you.
00:47There are mistakes.
00:48There are mistakes.
00:50And if there are mistakes, then come and come and say sorry.
00:54They have deleted the post from there.
00:56They have put the post on there.
00:58But the very fact that Guru Randhawa has to remind him of his Indian identity of Indian identity.
01:06Why is such a novice?
01:08Why did Hania Amir have confronted a contrary post when Hania Amir criticized Hania Amir's position?
01:20I don't know why.
01:24I think right now, you can see that his post is there.
01:28And he has deleted his post.
01:30It means that he is clear and clear.
01:33Whether he is talking about Indian people or Indian people.
01:37Or whether he is talking about the news.
01:39Or whether he is talking about the association.
01:42So many times it happens to us.
01:45We have a simple word.
01:48Or if you think that you have a lot of money.
01:52So you have released two or three or four months ago.
01:56You have said that I have made a movie.
01:58If you all give me this movie.
02:00Why do I have this movie release?
02:02You have smartly, publicity.
02:04First of all, put it on.
02:06Then put it on.
02:08Then put it on.
02:09Then remove it.
02:10It's a good strategy.
02:12We have no idea.
02:13No one knows.
02:14No one knows.
02:15No one knows.
02:16No one knows.
02:17No one knows.
02:18No one knows.
02:19Three.
02:20All of them knows.
02:21That's a good thing.
02:22So you should have tried.
02:23Let's try.
02:24Let's try.
02:25From the country.
02:26They told them earlier.
02:27They said they worked with their work.
02:28They did a lot of fun.
02:31They had to come get too much backlash.
02:33They said they'd only do it.
02:35They had money to do it cuz the producers could pay.
02:37But they'd have a lot of money.
02:39So they'll be losing it.
02:40Why do we give it in India.
02:43We are not sending a movie.
02:45There are many movies that flopped up, so that will be a lot of time.
02:49There are only a few movies from Bollywood, which is a very good movie from Punjab, which was a very good movie from Chamkila.
02:58It was only OTTP.
03:00So we need to think about such a lot.
03:02We need to think about it.
03:04We don't like it.
03:06So we can remove this stuff.
03:08It's our country.
03:10We can't even ask ourselves to go to Pakistan and perform an artist.
03:15But when we don't have a good relationship and we don't support that stuff,
03:20we should listen to the message first.
03:22That's my message.
03:23I'm no one against or against against.
03:25Why is this now or the first?
03:28Because this is not an issue of this.
03:30There has been many times since India and Pakistan are strained relations.
03:34And why do Bollywood go to the Pakistani artists every time?
03:39they do sign up, we have a lot of talent
03:42why do we have a lot of talent?
03:43why do we have a lot of talent?
03:45I didn't understand that
03:47but I am a big producer
03:48I don't know how much talent is going to go there
03:53obviously, first of all, we both are the same
03:56we are the same, the same, the same
03:58I understand
03:59but if you have such a lot of talent in India
04:01you have such a lot of talent
04:02why are you going to go there?
04:03is there a lot of good things
04:05and there are 4-5 people who work
04:07you have to work with them
04:11and the big producers
04:12yes, Sharaj, Dharma
04:14this time to time
04:15in fact, Dharma has seen that
04:17they have said that we will not do this
04:19but now, Abir Gulal was the same
04:22and Fawad Khan was in the lead role
04:24the point is that
04:25if you are a big producer or a small producer
04:27why is that
04:29our Bollywood producers
04:31always want to bring Pakistan talent
04:33and when the situation comes, they defend them
04:36they defend them
04:38yes, that is the easy way
04:40if you work with any Pakistani actor or singer
04:44then you have to ask them
04:46then you have to ask them
04:47you will also have to be a promotion
04:48you will also have to be a show
04:49but we should not do these things
04:51and I remember that
04:53when Fawad came to IFA
04:55when I was in the IFA
04:57I was in the IFA
04:58I was in the IFA
04:59IFA awards
05:00they were doing such
05:01as they were
05:02with Amitabh Bachchan
05:03as well as a big star
05:04they were so excited
05:05and so excited
05:06they were doing
05:07I don't know
05:08what is their problem
05:09when I was in the early show
05:10when being in the early show
05:12when being in the Indian and IFA
05:13or the entire city
05:15you have to be a real show
05:16there are so many singers
05:17they were very big producers
05:19and directors
05:20that they promise
05:21they say
05:22that they will be hiding behind me
05:23and they are very sleek
05:24looking at the days
05:25they are always together
05:26It has never given anyone to break it.
05:28It was very fun to go there.
05:30We had to promote all our talents of Pakistan.
05:33I don't want to take anything from Pakistan or Pakistan.
05:38Right now, first of all, our country is our country.
05:40When our relationships are right, we will work.
05:43Now, the relationships are not right.
05:45The government is not allowed.
05:47So, we should not trust the people of India.
05:50And they should not make a wave group.
05:53But this is time and again proof that these Pakistani artists do not have loyalty to India.
05:58When they get money from us.
06:00They get fame from us.
06:02They get fame from us.
06:03They take everything they want from us.
06:06But when we talk about the position for India,
06:09they never do that.
06:11There are some singles,
06:12like the old singers of Pakistan,
06:14are very legendary singles with Nusra Fadal Ghans.
06:17They have also sung a bhajan,
06:19they have also sung a shabat kirtan.
06:21They are always love India.
06:24And the Gholam Ali is always love.
06:26They always love all the places.
06:27They go to the audience and say,
06:28yes, India has loved all the places.
06:30But the new artists never said,
06:32they never said,
06:33they never said,
06:34We love India, thank you Indian audience.
06:36So, this should be done.
06:38And definitely, if they love their country,
06:41then you also love their country.
06:43They don't like them.
06:44They don't like them.
06:45They should take their country.
06:46They should take their country.
06:47Because they love their country.
06:49They love their country.
06:50We also love our country.
06:52If they don't like our country,
06:54they don't like them.
06:55It's okay.
06:56Delete it.
06:57Their posts are there.
06:58Their stories are there.
06:59And he is not replying.
07:01So that is wrong.
07:02So that is wrong.
07:03You have taken the position of cancelling that particular event.
07:15Yes, yes, yes.
07:16You believe me,
07:17I've been waiting for a long time.
07:18And then,
07:19you can go to Pakistan.
07:21The roads are open.
07:23And through that,
07:25I didn't do a private job.
07:27We do the best.
07:29We do the best.
07:30We do the best.
07:31So that we can do our own business,
07:33we can do our own new business,
07:34we can do our own good job.
07:35And as far as these events happen,
07:37the result of our Obama,
07:39again,
07:40I mean,
07:41time came back.
07:42It was my event.
07:43People saw a lot of trolling.
07:44I had largely on Mumbai.
07:46I had to say,
07:47I'm sorry.
07:49Next time,
07:50we can not repeat that.
07:51I can take this,
07:52because it had more than seven years have been.
07:54We have to show a lot of work.
07:55Yes,
07:56it's our community show up.
07:57We have to show a lot of work.
07:58And we have to make sure that you guys come back.
07:59But right now, I would like to say, it's my country.
08:03If my country doesn't like this, then I'll repeat it.
08:07Mika, this is a raging debate. Creative freedom versus nationalist choices.
08:13Today's time is when artists don't know only about their art.
08:18What are their choices? How are their personal conduct?
08:21How are social media conduct?
08:23What are their political leadings?
08:25What are their societal choices?
08:27What are their choices?
08:29What should our artists and producers be responsible?
08:33Yes, it should be.
08:35I always say this.
08:36The reality shows where there is one and one dancer.
08:39There is one and one actor.
08:41But there is also some of our names.
08:45They don't know what they are from there.
08:48Especially when there are actors.
08:51It's very rare.
08:53There is a movie where I have seen this heroine.
08:55Or a few times before, there is a movie where I have seen this heroine.
08:59Otherwise, I haven't seen it yet.
09:02But it happens to be like, let's see.
09:04Let's see.
09:05Let's see.
09:06Let's see.
09:07Let's see.
09:08Let's see.
09:09Let's see.
09:10Let's see.
09:11Let's see.
09:12Let's see.
09:13Let's see.
09:14Let's see.
09:15Let's see.
09:19You go there and you give them so much wisdom that you don't understand.
09:23Let's go, you are the Gulaan Malik Sahib, Nusrat Fadalikhan Sahib doesn't even exist.
09:28If you are a singer, you understand us, but you don't understand me.
09:34You only give them so many promises, but you only give them a job, but you don't give them a job.
09:39Do you think that this controversy will affect the popularity of Diljit Dosanj?
09:46Because there is already a demand of why they are working on Border 2 or Imtiaz Ali's film?
09:52Yes, it will be 100 percent.
09:55Because, you can see, I told you that I was against so much.
09:58I am sitting here.
10:00At the bottom of my house, there were more than 4-5 thousand people.
10:05To live and to live.
10:07And there was also an office there.
10:10I was surprised to see what I did before.
10:13I said, let's go, many of my friends and friends have told me that you are wrong.
10:19If you are wrong, you are wrong.
10:21I said, sorry.
10:22I promise you.
10:23I promise you.
10:24I promise you.
10:25I promise you.
10:26I promise you.
10:27I promise you.
10:28I promise you.
10:29I promise you.
10:30I promise you.
10:31I promise you.
10:33I promise you.
10:46If we don't have a good relationship, we will do the work, why not?
10:51But now you should think about what our country needs.
10:55We should listen to them.
10:57Don't go away.
10:59You said that you know Daljeet very well.
11:02They are like brothers.
11:03What do you think? Why don't they apologize?
11:06Is it their arrogance?
11:07Or is it their priority?
11:09I don't think they are mature.
11:12It's not the ones that you are mature at.
11:14But if you are the people who are stubborn at all, this is another point of view.
11:16If you will fall on the head through the head, then definitely will be the victim.
11:23Better that if anybody has a illation or failure from the beginning, we will get out of the way,
11:28then future problems are not going to happen.
11:30But if people all of you will discover their true nature,
11:34there will be many fans who will be guards and they will find them.
11:38I have never known anything in life, but I have never known anything.
11:43They are married and they are also married.
11:47If someone is real, they tell me that this is my wife, this is my wife.
11:53They tell me that this is my wife.
11:55I guess that he has never seen anything.
11:59Or that he has seen a picture of his wife.
12:02Or that he has seen a picture of his wife.
12:05If he is a true person, he is a true star, first of all, do this.
12:10We are not against him, we are not against him.
12:13If you don't like the country, you follow Korea.
12:16You delete your post, leave the scene from it.
12:19But if you don't delete your post, you are always asking me to do this film overseas.
12:24That is why.
12:26Why did Daljit come back and forth?
12:29The producers are not coming, the rest of the cast is not coming.
12:32Why did Daljit become a flag bearer?
12:34That is why I am happy.
12:35If there are any producers who have paid money, producers come back.
12:39When they have to film the film, they have to film the film.
12:43They always say that they are.
12:45That is why they are.
12:46Because they have to be a move.
12:47They are not the director or producer.
12:49They are not the director or producer.
12:50Just they know that there is no Pakistan heroine.
12:52There will be more Indian artists.
12:53There will be Niro Bajawa.
12:55Niro Bajawa is a very good heroine.
12:57They have to say that they have to request them.
12:59They will be a good heroine, no.
13:00You will put the post for all the time and keep it there as a popular fighter.
13:04That would be popular.
13:05You will get to know one, two or three.
13:07But then we will get to know everything.
13:08Is this a valid solution, Mika?
13:10If they are asking, they will not release this, they will release it outside.
13:15Do not postpone it.
13:17I would like to say exactly that, that when our conditions are good with Pakistan,
13:24where we have so many breaks, so we have to wait a little more.
13:32Lastly, I would like to know your view.
13:36You should collectively come to Bollywood to say that we will not work with Pakistani talent.
13:42Our nation is above everything.
13:45We should stand up. I don't know why we are gone.
13:50We are not talking about the border, we don't know how to tell,
13:55we don't know how to tell, we don't know how to tell,
13:57we don't know how to tell, we don't know how to tell.
14:01We always want to stay in both countries.
14:06But sometimes we have to say that we don't know how to tell.
14:10And there are times that we don't know.
14:13Again, Pakistan's people are not bad.
14:18Pakistan is not bad.
14:19But there are many people who have to do this work,
14:23that we have to do this work.
14:25We have to do this work.
14:27And just one question.
14:29Do you think the filmmakers are working with Diljit,
14:32maybe they can go back?
14:33Especially Border 2,
14:35which is the whole sentiment,
14:37the whole compromise of patriotism?
14:39I don't know how to tell.
14:41Well, if that's not the case,
14:43I don't know about this.
14:44I don't know about this.
14:45I don't know about this.
14:46I can't tell you about this.
14:47I don't know about this.
14:48I don't know about it.
14:49I don't want to say that I am not in the past.
14:52Yes, I would like to say that it was a mistake.
14:56They just say sorry.
14:57And treat them with their postman.
15:00I don't want to ban them in India.
15:02I don't want to ban them on Spotify or everywhere.
15:05But if they don't understand or understand,
15:08then people can go against them and go too.
15:11Yes.
15:12Mika, I would like to thank you for talking to India today.
