00:00Sir, first of all, what would you like to say about Veer Hanuman's new show?
00:04How excited are you about it?
00:06We all are very excited. I, in particular, I am on top of the moon and beyond because
00:12I myself am a devotee of Lord Hanuman.
00:17I have been a devotee since childhood and still am.
00:20My God is Hanuman.
00:22So, joining this show and playing the role of his father is a very fortunate thing for me.
00:29As I said earlier, in this, before the birth of Lord Hanuman,
00:39when Kesari and Anjana have no children, the story is from there.
00:44And then, by the grace of Lord Hanuman, Lord Hanuman is born and
00:49all his childhood stories will continue.
00:54And in my role, how I run my kingdom and
01:05along with running the kingdom of Sumeru, the other kingdom we have shown, Kishkindha.
01:12So, what is my relation with Kishkindha?
01:17And in a way, say that I am the commander there, I am the advisor.
01:23So, how is my relation with the king there?
01:28That will also continue to be a story.
01:31So, this is all. And for this, we will go to Ujjain today.
01:36And in the evening, we have a very big first of its kind there.
01:40Till date, no one has seen it on television or in the cinema, nor has it happened.
01:46The show we are doing, which is going to be, as I said, first of its kind.
01:52So, to launch this show on our Soni Sab,
01:57everyone is working so hard on such a big level that the whole of Bharat Varshi will see it.
02:03And let's hope that like the first show of Soni Sab, Ramayana,
02:08she has received so much love, this show will receive more love than that.
02:12Sir, you have been on the Mythological show before.
02:15Yes.
02:16How different is this show and how much do you find it similar to this character?
02:22In every character, you have to find something like this,
02:27that how am I like this, what am I like?
02:32Like for Bhishma, I had found it, so I felt that I am also to some extent,
02:39and I am sure of the matter.
02:41Once I say it, I will do it and leave it.
02:45Similarly, you can say that we have just started this character of Kesari.
02:53But in Kesari, there is a, towards religion, towards right and wrong,
03:05and their thinking, the kind of personality they have, how they are a strong personality.
03:12To make this character, physically, Dashrath, which I did last, and now Kesari,
03:21so I have gained only 10 kilos of muscle weight.
03:24Because he is the father of Hanumanji, he is a monkey, so he should look big.
03:30So, all that journey, and visually, we have shot such amazing scenes,
03:38it is something, and what we have seen till now,
03:43it is visually going to be probably a bigger show than whatever I have done till now.
03:50Sir, if we talk about the characters, usually we do the writing,
03:55but in the 90s, my mother used to say,
03:58you have to be in the younger generation, what will you be able to do?
04:04What will you be able to do? You will be able to make anything good.
04:08I will tell you a small story, you can see it on my Instagram.
04:14Someone had DMed me, and then he sent me a video, which I also posted.
04:22He has a child of a few months, he watches television,
04:31when it is going on at home, he has no interest,
04:33but as soon as the sound of Bhishma comes in Mahabharata,
04:36the child turns around and watches, and becomes enchanted.
04:40So, there is something like this, behind which every child wants to see, wants to join.
04:48So, today's generation, and I will tell you about a smaller child than that.
04:57I was in a coffee shop, suddenly there is a lady that comes in,
05:02and she says, can I have a picture? I said, yes, of course.
05:06And then she says, my child watches your show,
05:11so I brought that child, he was just a few months old.
05:17And as soon as I picked him up, he became like this.
05:20So, we are making something good, we are doing something good,
05:24so everyone will be interested.
05:26And it is not a matter of generation, if you keep it relevant,
05:32whatever we are making, whatever we are doing,
05:35in that, our language is pure Hindi,
05:40but in that, the treatment, keeping today's context in mind,
05:46we have made it, the dialogue, the scenes, everything is the same.
05:50So, everybody will relate to it, and everybody will enjoy it.
05:54Sir, if you want to make it on social media,
05:57then who makes the small things?
06:01Is there any active responsibility?
06:07I have said it many times before, whether there is social media or not,
06:13whatever it is, the voice, its control is necessary.
06:18You are in control, what kind of words you use,
06:23you are on social media, but what is happening on social media,
06:27it is being done to sell.
06:29The use of wrong words, wrong things, that is being sold.
06:35And people are interested in watching it, that is why it is being watched.
06:40So, it has a different audience.
