FunTranscript
00:00And congratulations to your film, Shanti Negator International Film Festival and Yipan International Film Festival.
00:07Thank you so much.
00:09How did you experience your experience?
00:11My experience was very good and the team was very excited.
00:16There were very different films.
00:20The most important part of the festival is that you get to watch different kinds of films by different people.
00:28You get to see a lot of same emotions in a different way, how people project it.
00:33So, we really had a good time.
00:35I was talking about Shanti Negator.
00:37So, what was your experience in the International Film Festival?
00:41What was your experience in other festivals?
00:44I feel like Shanti Negator is a very interesting story of every home.
00:52There is a conflict between two generations.
00:58There is no one wrong with them.
01:00But now, what angle you believe and what angle you believe,
01:07this is what you see.
01:08What generation you belong to?
01:10You will connect more from your generation.
01:12If you belong to the older generation, you will think that this is happening with us today.
01:17And if you are with the younger generation, you will think that we are in this fix.
01:22Now, what do we do?
01:23So, I think this is the balance between the two generations of conflict
01:26and the two generations of conflict and the two generations of conflict.
01:29This is Shanti Negator, I think, makes it a bit different from the rest of the film.
01:34Usually, we think that there is a film in festivals.
01:36So, there is not a lot of success in commercial films here.
01:39Or, there is not a lot of success in festivals.
01:40Or, there is not an art fan tag.
01:43So, what do we do?
01:44I think that there is not a lot of success.
01:47Now, there are many films that travel to festivals.
01:51And then, they are released very well in their home country.
01:54And people also wait.
01:56Because, on social media and online platforms,
02:00people start to know about films very early.
02:04That the X, Y, Z film is there.
02:06So, they wait until they come to their country and they can see it.
02:10So, I think things have changed.
02:12The art film or independent film, commercial film gap,
02:16I think day by day is coming very close and less.
02:20So, that's a good thing.
02:22And then, there is a big step of being an actor as a producer.
02:25So, do you think that your creative control is higher?
02:28Or the pressure is higher?
02:30As an actor as a producer?
02:33Yes.
02:35I will not say a switch between the actor as a producer.
02:38It's like both responsibilities.
02:41I am doing it at the same time.
02:43It's not like one is left and the other is left.
02:45So, the responsibility has changed a little bit.
02:48Obviously.
02:49Because you were connected as an actor as a previous project.
02:52Now, you are also connected as a producer.
02:54So, you have to focus on such angles.
02:56As an actor, you don't need to know.
02:59So, the pressure is obviously bigger.
03:02So, creative control, I think, I will not say it.
03:06Creative control will all be in my hands.
03:08Or all be in the producer's hands.
03:10Because every story has their director, their DOP.
03:14They all have their inputs.
03:16They all have their creative inputs.
03:17So, I, as a producer, I would like to give them the freedom.
03:20That they can jump in and prove their point of view.
03:25So.
03:26Ma'am, the director, your name is Aria Hawk.
03:30So, the director, Dipankarush.
03:32Dipankarush.
03:33Yes.
03:34So, the director works with the director.
03:36It's a big deal.
03:37I thought, what is your role for it?
03:38What is your role for it?
03:39What is your role for it?
03:40What are your role for it?
03:41So, how can you choose?
03:42I think, this is a part of not a Hawk in this particular topic,
03:43Of course, the idea of a different subject
03:48of this movie.
03:49Really?
03:50So, there is risk at any point.
03:51But, Dipankar has a good point for me.
03:53It's my third film.
03:56So, I think that I have no idea of risk.
03:58Because once you work at one by the time.
04:00So, those things like ifs and buts, pros and cons that come in.
04:03So, I have not chosen.
04:05I think that we both have a collaborative effort, because the story is their story, the writer is the same, the director is the same,
04:13so they know more well how to bring it to the trees.
04:17So that risk was very early. Shantini Ketan is also their film, so I think that before Shantini Ketan or Shantini Ketan,
04:26it was very clear that we were bonding on the director and actor set.
04:31After that, we decided that let's get on board with Hawks as a producer.
04:37So we were very clear with our duties, so there was no conflict as such.
04:42Ma'am, with Hawks, there are a lot of actors such as Varun, Sokhti, Rakshi, Deshpande, Ranshish.
04:50So to work with these names, it seems to be a power move.
04:54Is this casting based on the talent or a strategic move?
04:59This casting is purely and purely talent based on it.
05:02There is no other strategy involved in it.
05:05Because, like I said, it's a collaborative effort between the director and the producer.
05:11Everyone has kept the options in their own.
05:13What was the best, what was the most close to the character, was kept it.
05:18In Hawks, there are many thrillers.
05:23What is Hawks in Hawks?
05:29What is Hawks in Hawks?
05:31You write a lot of thrillers.
05:33Hawks, the subplot of Hawks is different from the rest.
05:38And then, starting in the beginning, you have a family drama, but the way it turns into a thriller.
05:47That's a very unique factor.
05:49Obviously, I won't tell you, so you have to watch it when it comes.
05:52So that makes Hawks different from any other thriller.
05:56What do you think about the actors' role in acting?
06:00How do you think about the actors' role in acting?
06:02How do you think about the actors' role in acting?
06:04I don't have to be a producer.
06:05I think it's more about coexisting rather than giving competition.
06:10Everybody has their own unique way of doing their roles.
06:19So, I more believe in existing together rather than just pushing and naming it as a competition.
06:28How do you think about the actors' role in acting?
06:37How do you think about the actors' role in acting?
06:39I would like to again say that I don't intentionally do a shift.
06:47I think that directors and writers, they see something in me and then they want to explore that part of me as an actor.
06:54Like Shiksha Mandal also, Afzal sir, he saw something in me which could fit in that greyish character.
07:01And he wanted to explore, I auditioned and I got the part.
07:05And with the same thing in Shanti Niketan, I am a very submissive housewife.
07:10Completely different from Shiksha Mandal.
07:12I am sure Dipankar, the director, he must have seen something because we did a short film before Shanti Niketan.
07:19So, he mentioned about Shanti Niketan back then when we were shooting for a short film.
07:24So, I have a feeling that he must have seen something submissive, subdued, homely wife character which he wanted to explore.
07:34And as an actor, it's actually a compliment for me that writers and directors can see that part which I have already played and also which I haven't played.
07:44So, you know, it's a compliment that they come back to me with a different role which is completely different from the one other.
07:51I would love to do an action thriller which I have done recently but I would like to do more.
07:59Like, you know, hardcore action.
08:01I have just finished a film.
08:02It's a thriller again but a bit of action and a pinch of comedy in it.
08:11And so, I would like to explore more action and more comedy.
08:14So, I would like to see if your name is at some international festival or international festival.
08:21So, after that, you have to consider that in the industry you have to consider your nepotism or favoritism.
08:28Favoritism is a part of the world.
08:29So, we cannot ignore it.
08:30We cannot ignore it.
08:31Maybe we can see it like that you keep doing your work, your work will speak for yourself.
08:47You don't have to prove any point apart from your work.
08:52You know, just show what you are doing, what you are good at in front of camera and then let the world decide.
09:00And I think the audience is a bigger decision maker than anybody else.
09:04One thing you asked me to tell me is that those newcomer actors and those actors in the industry can be involved in the industry.
09:14So, I would like to tell you that there are social media and people who have access to social media.
09:21Correct.
09:22Correct.
09:23So, you have to tell me that you have to try that you have to try that role.
09:28But then there are social influences.
09:31Yeah, it's there.
09:32Yes, yes.
09:33It's done with your face.
09:34If your followers were more than the time, it didn't come.
09:37But I will again say this, these things doesn't dishearten me anymore.
09:44It seemed like it was in the beginning.
09:45But I have seen also that just as followers and casting, the project didn't go anywhere.
09:52At the end of the day, directors, producers, they are realizing that they need actors who can perform in front of camera.
09:59And not only on the reels.
10:02You know, you will at the end of the day need an actor.
10:06They could be good actors also.
10:08If you are online influencers or social media actors, star or whatever word is, I don't know the technical term.
10:15So, if they do good acting, they will also get the opportunity.
10:19But you can start from the number game.
10:24But in the long run, you will still need talent.
10:27You will still need talent.
10:28Is there a certain moment that you feel like you have to go?
10:34No.
10:35No.
10:36That didn't even cross.
10:38Actually, there was no option to go.
10:42You just do your work.
10:44Like, I believe that I should continue doing what I love.
10:50Keep looking for the opportunities and keep creating opportunities.
10:54The reason why I shifted.
10:57Not shifted.
10:58Again, shifted is a wrong word.
11:00I added the producer angle to my career is because I wanted some stories to be told.
11:06Some stories to see light.
11:09That's the only reason.
11:11If I have resources, why not use it?
11:13I am a cinema lover.
11:14I am a hardcore Bollywood person.
11:18So, I would like all the stories to be made which I believe in.
11:22So, I did find my new ways to make it happen.
11:26But I never thought that it's going to happen.
11:28Now, let's go back.
11:29If it's not happening, what can it happen?
11:32That's the reason why it's happening.
11:34That's the reason why it's happening.
11:35That's the reason why it's happening.
11:37That's the reason why it's happening.
11:38That's the reason why it was happening.
11:40So, I am very interested in how it's happening.
11:42I didn't feel so much in the first time, and I'm tired of becoming a woman.
11:46But you think that things are changing in female-centric films?
11:50Yes, things are changing.
11:52Now, female-centric films are becoming more, I think.
11:56Because now, female actors don't have a love interest.
12:01Now, their stories are written on their own.
12:05Now, there's no angle of that,
12:07there's a wife, a lover, or a mother's role.
12:12That's it.
12:13In the film, there's no angle of that.
12:16Now, there's a mother's story of revenge,
12:20and a daughter's story of struggle.
12:23So, I can see more female-led films at this time.
12:29I think they are correlated.
12:36Because the critics, who are targeting them,
12:39the audience wants to see them.
12:41And the audience, who are targeting them,
12:43the critics also wants to see what is this.
12:45So, I think they run parallelly.
12:49It's very difficult to, you know,
12:51kind of separate them in a different box.
12:54Because I've seen,
12:55whose films are very different,
12:57the critics want to see them,
12:58and write about it,
12:59that they want to see what is this,
13:01that they like.
13:02And on the contrary,
13:04on the other side,
13:05if a critic is written about someone,
13:07then the public reading online,
13:10they also say,
13:11hey, they're very good at it,
13:12they've seen what they've done.
13:13So, that's the curiosity level,
13:15that's one of them,
13:16that's one of them,
13:17that's one of them.
13:18Actually.
13:19Siksha Maddal,
13:20and Shanti Nikitun,
13:21who are not socially relevant critics.
13:23So,
13:24what do you think,
13:25that actors,
13:26who are choosing the glamour,
13:27and film roles,
13:28who are choosing the social impact?
13:35That,
13:36I guess,
13:37is a very personal choice.
13:39I can't comment on anybody else's behalf.
13:43But,
13:44I like to,
13:45choose,
13:46roles,
13:47which has,
13:48you know,
13:49balance of both.
13:53It,
13:54sometimes,
13:55it needs to be,
13:56it needs to be,
13:58projected in a way,
13:59that it says something to you,
14:01and it gets stuck with you.
14:02Sometimes,
14:03it's just a light-hearted comedy.
14:06Which is,
14:07a bit of glamour with it.
14:09So,
14:10I don't know,
14:11how to answer this question,
14:13correctly.
14:14But,
14:15sometimes,
14:16roles,
14:17we use ourselves,
14:18and,
14:19we don't need to run behind them.
14:21So,
14:22at that time,
14:23it will be your decision,
14:24what you want to do.
14:26So,
14:27I guess,
14:28that goes with all the actors.
14:29I wonder if that's what you think about,
14:30when it comes to the movie,
14:31you think about it,
14:32after the movie,
14:33you know,
14:34there's something about the industry in the industry,
14:36or in the culture,
14:37or in other movies.
14:38But,
14:39if you think about it,
14:40you know,
14:41as a movie for the movie,
14:42or a series,
14:43you know,
14:44you know,
14:45you have to be subject,
14:46the character actor,
14:47the character actor,
14:48the character actor.
14:49Absolutely.
14:50There has to be a story.
14:51Yeah.
14:52I totally agree. We have so many examples.
15:05When it was just a film, it was a hero, a heroine, a villain.
15:14The OTT platform, if you want to say the same story in the 8th episode,
15:22the rest of the characters are the same.
15:27I will not say force, but sometimes you have to think about the writers and makers
15:34that this is also a person that came to the show. What is the story of this?
15:39People want to know this.
15:41What are the stories of this?
15:44What are the stories of the people in their life?
15:49What are the stories of this?
15:51Who are the stories of this?
15:53We also want to know this.
15:55So, I got an opportunity to explore this.
15:59What are the stories of your stories?
16:02What are the stories of your stories?
16:05How much of you are active in social media?
16:08How much of you are active in social media?
16:11I try to keep on being active and post regularly.
16:17In future projects, I am going to do and produce also, which we are going to announce very soon.
16:30It also has good actors, set of good actors and the creative team.
16:36But I would like to have another session to talk about that.
16:40Because we are going to shoot in May, early second, first week of May.
16:45We are already in the preparation of it.
16:47The last week of May is going to change your hands now.
16:51Keep watching this face.
16:53Keep looking for me everywhere.
16:55You will see a lot of me very soon.
