00:00Hi, I am Mithun Chakraborty and you are watching Lehering.
00:03Now, I'm going to insult you very much. Sorry.
00:06They want to see myself my mistakes.
00:09I want to see who I am good and who I am bad.
00:12And learn from my mistakes.
00:14I played a dance.
00:16I couldn't sleep for three nights.
00:18I thought, let's take a look at my first picture.
00:20Why not impress the audience?
00:22So, it will be a rehearsal.
00:24Then, when the take came, the work of the take was okay.
00:26But, after it was okay, I accidentally dropped my right leg.
00:31That's why my whole right leg was broken.
00:34And I was scared that I could ever take the leg or not.
00:38I can't say anything about GB.
00:40Because I am not the producer.
00:41It is Navan Malik, Salman Manik.
00:43Director is Rajan Sipri.
00:45So, don't ask me.
00:46Sir, how many tips have I given in Moko, acting and dancing?
00:50I haven't given any tips.
00:52I told him that he is a...
00:54If you can see, he is a very tall guy.
00:57And the people who are tall,
00:59He dances on the whole body.
01:01He doesn't have a voice.
01:02So, I taught him to dance on his toes.
01:05If you can dance on your toes, you are a good dancer.
01:08So, he did it.
01:09If you can talk about it, you will learn a lot about acting.
01:16So, how much help did Mithun dance?
01:22Mithun, Chakravarti, as a father,
01:25He has always been with me.
01:27He has always helped me.
01:29He has always helped me.
01:30Why do I do it?
01:31Why do I do it?
01:32Why do I do it?
01:33Why do I do it?
01:34Why do I do it?
01:35Why do I do it?
01:36Why do I do it?
01:37Why do I do it?
01:38Why do I do it?
01:39Why do I do it?
01:40Why do I do it?
01:41Why do I do it?
01:41So, I don't want to be a job of acting.
01:42Why?
01:43Because Mithun, Chakravarti has always helped me.
01:44Because he is the professional, practical.
01:47And he has never came in the set.
01:49I never used to meet him.
01:50When he came there, he never used to me.
01:52Probably, in that case, I used to talk with him.
01:55And that's why he'd go.
01:56Because he wants to be sure
01:58I can see my mistakes, see who I am good, who I am bad, and learn from my mistakes.
02:04Because I am a better actor.
02:07And I have also made myself.
02:10And they want me to be like that.
02:13Because they want to say that I am a newcomer.
02:17I am a star kid, so I am not a special.
02:20My name, my surname is an attraction.
02:24But I am just a normal newcomer.
02:27As a father of course, they learned me a lot.
02:30They worked very hard for me.
02:33They did a lot of work for my dance.
02:34They used my hands and used my arms.
02:38Then I used my hands and used my hands.
02:40So you can know that they worked as a father.
02:44I learned I learned to speak.
02:46And I learned to learn.
02:48I took many small steps.
02:50And I tried to count the tiles and try to look.
02:55Definitely it was very difficult for me, but as a father, of course, but as an actor, I don't know.
03:04When you saw him in the work, where did you go?
03:08No, no. That day you told him that he wouldn't do a copy. Not even me.
03:13The title of the film...
03:16This is Jimmy from my pictures and this is Sohail Khan.
03:21Sohail told me that this is a brand name, you can give this name off.
03:25He gave it to my Sohail.
03:27And as an actor, what do you think about Mimo?
03:32Past. I'll give you a past mark from the first film.
03:36What are the expectations of this film?
03:39This is the public. I can't tell you.
03:41What are your expectations?
03:43I'm a very practical man. I can't tell anything.
03:47I can't tell anything because the money will decide.
03:50Jimmy, I don't think that the responsibility has increased because when someone comes to a star,
03:57people compare him to his father or family members.
04:03They have to give up the whole manner and knowledge.
04:06Because everyone is hoping that he is a child of Mithunda.
04:09You should also see those things in him.
04:12Definitely, I'm a very big fan.
04:15Because it's natural that people compare me.
04:18Because if I go and see some star kit,
04:21I will also start comparing them to their own.
04:24I don't think I'm a different person.
04:26I'm a star kit.
04:27Definitely.
04:28And because I'm Mithunda Chakrabarti.
04:31I'm a very difficult person in the comparison.
04:34Because they're all.
04:36Whether they're fighting, dancing or acting.
04:39So, I have to do a lot of work from their shadows.
04:44Because of course, I'm not perfect now.
04:46This is my first film.
04:48And you can see, whatever the film industry has come up.
04:51They've improved a lot from their last release.
04:56Because that's the same.
04:58And I just hope that the audience going to go and see.
05:01They will see Mimu.
05:03Without watching Mithunda Chakrabarti's son.
05:05They will see me.
05:06Because as an individual,
05:08I would like to have a mark.
05:10Because as I said,
05:12You have to have to do more work.
05:15That's true.
05:16If we did a rehearsal for a song for 20 days.
05:19So, 20 days extra.
05:21We have to take care of that.
05:22Because I know that people.
05:24They will see me for that reason.
05:26Because I'm so good or bad in my dancing.
05:30And that's why I want to go and see Mimu.
05:34Because I have not.
05:35My dance directors.
05:37My fight directors.
05:38My director.
05:39We all have been working on this film.
05:41And as much as we tried to make it.
05:44We made the picture so much.
05:46So, I just hope that it will be good.
05:48Sir.
05:51What did you feel that the night behind?
05:53Why don't you feel that these two people wereיט Pak?
05:57Sure, tell me.
05:58ok.
05:59Remember I want to take care of the movie.
06:00This is also the topic.
06:01I'm saying.
06:02I said,
06:03I hope I did not spend period of time.
06:04100.
06:05But no one is able to get pity on this film.
06:06My director also made me pay attention.
06:07And they also signed me.
06:08They also signed them.
06:09I did not start to know it ,
06:10I did not decide it as if I was at any given time of your photo.
06:11I don't want to go to my producer, I don't want to go to your photo, he's going to audition for it, he's doing it today.
06:16Let me ask you, see, I don't want to go.
06:19I don't have any questions, life is not made of roses.
06:22I'm not a pampered father, I'm saying that my son is good, I don't have any questions.
06:27What about father's family relations?
06:29We are very good friends.
06:31There is only one problem with my son, I don't want to invade him in meditative,
06:35but he always invade him in meditative.
06:38Why did you learn more about acting?
06:41I went to America, I went to my acting course at the New York Film Academy.
06:46I took the military there, I did a crash course,
06:50then I learned my dancing, I learned my fighting.
06:54Then I went to Mumbai, I learned my acting course.
06:59Then I learned classical dancing, kickboxing, horse riding, fighting.
07:05Then I learned how much I can do.
07:08Let's see.
07:09What is a perfect film for a debutant according to you?
07:12What qualities are that?
07:14He should have all the qualities of stardom.
07:16What should a film have in particular?
07:19I said all the qualities to be a star and the stardom.
07:25What do you decide about stardom?
07:27Let's talk about Pooja.
07:29Pooja is a new star.
07:31It is a debut film.
07:32How do you work with her?
07:34How perfect is her acting?
07:36Actually, before I said her acting,
07:40she has changed her name.
07:41Actually, Pooja has become Vivaana.
07:43If I tell her Pooja, she will be angry.
07:46Vivaana is a very good actress.
07:49She is a very good actress.
07:50She is a very good actress.
07:51She is a very good actress.
07:52She is a very humble, sweet, caring.
07:54And our wavelength was the same.
07:57Because it is my first film.
07:59Vivaana is a very first film.
08:01We both wanted to make our mark.
08:05We could make our identity.
08:07Of course, if you ask for acting,
08:09it is better than me.
08:10Because they have more experience.
08:12It is better than me.
08:13And as much as our scenes together,
08:15I think it is more ease in my acting.
08:18It is true.
08:19Because Jimmy is our film.
08:21And it is not true that I will say that I am good with him.
08:24Because I know that we have done so many rehearsals.
08:26And they have executed it so well.
08:29So definitely, it is better for me.
08:33Sir, what's your music?
08:35I liked two songs.
08:37This song.
08:39The title song.
08:41I think two songs are very...
08:44In Jimmy, there are four songs.
08:46There were two artists.
08:48And there were two artists.
08:49And there were two artists.
08:50And there were two artists.
08:51So, with the artist,
08:53there was only one artist.
08:55And now, his daughter is giving me the first film.
08:58So, as we say,
09:00Life Goes Full Circle.
09:02I think that I am very lucky in that way.
09:04Because there are four songs.
09:06It is different from one another.
09:08Whether it is romantic or intense,
09:10or why not it is dancing.
09:12Why not it is dancing?
09:13And I enjoyed dancing.
09:15And I hope that the audience also liked it.
09:19Sir, you have done the choreography.
09:21I did the choreography in the beginning.
09:23I did the choreography in the beginning.
09:25How many people?
09:26I am not a choreographer.
09:27I am not a choreographer.
09:28So, I do not know the experience.
09:30I can not know the experience.
09:32But, I can know the experience I can tell the experience.
09:35He did a lot of rehearsal in one take, but he was a short-tempered man.
09:40Sir, when you got a national award, he gave you a national award.
09:46What do you think that you don't have a national award?
09:49No, there is no question.
09:52There is no national award.
09:56There is no national award.
10:00There is no national award.
10:02There is no national award.
10:09Do you trust Mimo's acting or Mimo's acting?
10:14No, for Jimmy, sorry.
10:16I can't even think that it's a national award.
10:20Do you think it's a public award?
10:22Shakti Kapoor, sir.
10:24I don't trust him.
10:26I don't trust him.
10:28I don't trust him.
10:30I don't trust him.
10:32I don't trust him.
10:34I don't trust him.
10:35I don't trust him.
10:36I don't trust him.
10:38I think as an actor, I've got three national-based actors.
10:43Three national award.
10:45Do you remember any scene that you remember that Jimmy was my first one?
10:51Actually, there is not one scene.
10:53There is a lot of scenes.
10:54But there is a moment in Jimmy when shooting.
10:58We divided the series.
11:00We divided the series.
11:01We had to do our talking portions before 20 days.
11:04After that, we did the song and fighting.
11:07After that, the scenes and the songs were finished.
11:09Then the chance came to the fighting.
11:11So, our first fight sequence was our first sequence.
11:13And I had to do a stunt.
11:15I had to go down the door.
11:17I had to go down the door.
11:19I was very scared of heights.
11:20But, my fight master, Mehmet Bakshi, asked me if you can do it.
11:27Otherwise, you don't need to do it.
11:29I thought, let's go down the first picture.
11:31Why not impress the audience?
11:33So, it was a rehearsal.
11:35Then, when the take came, the work was okay.
11:38After that, I accidentally dropped my right leg.
11:42So, I had to go down the right leg.
11:43So, my whole right leg was damaged.
11:45And it was very painful.
11:47I had to go to hospital.
11:48I had to take injection.
11:49I had to do x-ray.
11:50And I was very scared.
11:52I would never have to take the leg or not.
11:54But the soreness of the leg was very bad.
11:56After that, because we were tight.
11:59And we had to finish the schedule.
12:01So, I had to put a stick on the right leg.
12:04So, my right leg could go down the right leg.
12:06So, I had to go down the right leg.
12:07So, I had to do all the remaining fight sequences.
12:11Then, after that, my left shoulder was broken.
12:14Then, we had to cut my hand in a fight sequence.
12:18So, all the fight sequences in the gym, I think,
12:21will be my most memorable.
12:23Because I know that I had to go down the right leg.
12:26I had to go down the right leg.
12:27But, just like you said, I had to go down the right leg.
12:31And I think it was a very good lesson for me.
12:34That I don't have to go down the right leg.
12:37But, just like you said, let me see you.
12:40And you know definitely have to learn how to do this.
12:42You have a big trendsetter.
12:44Then, what do you have to do?
12:46What does the trendsetter mean to you?
12:47So, look, everyone have to decide the trendsetter.
12:49Nobody has to decide the trendsetter.
12:51The public will decide.
12:52It is the public will decide.
12:55You will know what to do or not.
13:01What is wrong? What is wrong? What is wrong?
13:03Everyone knows.
13:05If you sustain it, you will make it.
13:08If you are gone, you will be dead.
13:10Shakti Kapoor is in this film.
13:12You both have done a good job.
13:14Was it from your side that Shakti Kapoor is in this film?
13:17No, no.
13:18You are very insulting Shakti Kapoor.
13:21I am sorry.
13:22In my opinion, Shakti Kapoor is one of the most versatile actors we have on screen.
13:27My recommendation is Shakti Kapoor.
13:30Do you want your friends?
13:32No, no, no.
13:34It is wrong.
13:35Do you want to know about the actresses?
13:38Pooja is very good.
13:41Pooja is very confident.
13:44I think she has a long way to go.
13:48Sir, in this film, what is your love with Mimo?
13:52They both look good. They look nice.
13:54Sir, when Mimo said to her first time, what was your reaction?
13:59What was your reaction? What was your encouragement and support?
14:01I did not say to her mother.
14:03I did not say to her mother.
14:04She did not say to her mother.
14:05She did not say to her dance.
14:06I did not sleep until three nights.
14:08It was so beautiful.
14:09It was so beautiful.
14:11It was very beautiful dancing.
14:13After that, I saw that her body has a rhythm.
14:16After that, I started training after that.
14:19You also have a good answer.
14:22Do you compare the status right?
14:25I will beat it.
14:28In the truth, he will beat me hollow.
14:32I will beat the competition.
14:34In your life, you said Michael Jackson of India.
14:37What do you think?
14:38Which book?
14:40Tell me which book.
14:42I do not know.
14:43Come and see.
14:44It will be mixed.
