00:00Karan sir, I have a question for you.
00:01I remember you said in an event that when I used to go to the set as a kid,
00:05everyone spoke Punjabi at that time.
00:07So does this environment remind you of your childhood?
00:11Yes, I was just telling Gipi that all my memories have gone to that time.
00:18And all the senior journalists like Komal and Bharti,
00:22they must know that there was a time when everyone spoke Punjabi.
00:25And in every set, whether it was Manmohan Desai's set
00:29or Yash Chopra's set or Jeyom Prakash's set,
00:33everyone spoke Punjabi.
00:35The heroes were Punjabi, the heroines were from the South,
00:38and the directors and producers were all Punjabi.
00:40It was a kind of a template.
00:43So every morning, papa used to talk to the distributors and producers in Punjabi.
00:47But I used to get confused when mummy used to wake up.
00:50She used to talk to her relatives in Sindhi.
00:52So I got stuck there.
00:54Otherwise, I understand Punjabi completely.
00:57Even now, when Akshay talks to me on a table,
01:02and Apoorva is the main negotiator,
01:04when he wants to explain something to me,
01:06and Apoorva doesn't understand,
01:07he talks to me in Punjabi.
01:11But Karan sir, a question arises,
01:12that the Punjabi culture is made with all sacrifices and valour.
01:17You have also produced Kesari.
01:19So do you think this was a long due,
01:21like we have come with Akal today,
01:23the scale of the film that has been made,
01:26do you think it was a long due,
01:27and finally we have arrived,
01:28how do you look upon to this fact?
01:29I am very proud of the fact,
01:32and like Abhisar said,
01:34that he is one of the initial pioneers of Punjabi cinema.
01:38And this fact that it is truly the newest and the youngest cinema,
01:43within the framework of our nation.
01:46It is such a matter of pride,
01:49that today we have seen a film of this scale,
01:51from such a nascent cinema.
01:54And full marks to the team,
01:56and to Gipi,
01:58that the way he has presented it,
02:02and by putting everyone at stake,
02:04he has done this for cinema.
02:06So I think,
02:07to be a part of this,
02:08to be a part of this passion,
02:09years ago,
02:10when I was a part of Bahubali,
02:13and that was when,
02:15I think you also said,
02:17it was the beginning of this pan-India phenomenon.
02:20I felt that passion that I had seen,
02:22in Raja Mauli ji's eyes,
02:24for his film,
02:25everything was at stake.
02:26Ashobhu Prasad,
02:27Raja Mauli sir,
02:28everyone had put everything at stake to make that film.
02:30I got that same feeling,
02:32when I met Gipi.
02:34And I feel,
02:35I am honoured and privileged to be part of that passion.
