 I must chai make some it's hot make it cold I'm sure there's nice a cold chai Starbucks ice chai's done there you go yeah yeah today we are doing another behind-the-scenes kind of thing where the director talks about the film like we do Like we did with Barbie. I don't want anything that's artistically relevant. Give me stuff. That's fluffy and unimportant Okay, okay. That'll be the other video of the day. Great. All right. Who is this? This is Abishik. Oh, cool from yes Yes, Chabe. Chabe from... Come on now Did Abishik also there's something else we just saw and I'm feeling like it was Patalok or He directed that a couple of other things. Yeah, there's a couple of other things He's directed that we've watched recently. There are I don't think it was Patalok. It could be wrong I know I'm not confusing him with the cast and director Abishik. He's the producer of the new Nawaz. Oh, he's the director of Death and the Gunge. Oh Yes. Oh, he produced Death and the Gunge. I was gonna say it was Ladyboob, but he directed it and wrote Sanchiriya That's what it was. But wait, go down to TV. Oh, I was wrong. That's what it was. You're right. Yeah No, he's the associate director. Yeah, it was that that's the thing we recently saw that he was director. That's right Good, but this is him talking about Ohtapunjab Good. And so and inside the scene we'll see something with Ali or Shahid. Here we go Hi everyone This is Abishik Chaubey. I'm the director of the film Ohtapunjab to be able to talk about But in the scene from my film, which is a scene in which Aliya's character, called Medi-Jane, meets Tongi Oh, great scene. And the scene involves Medi-Jane's meth down This is the first time that these two characters meet Tommy and Medi-Jane. His stories have been separate so far Great. This is the first time. In fact, one or two times they meet in the film. The scene in question begins at a point when Tommy has Finished his rant. He is completely unaware of the effect that it is having on this girl, you know Because he's he's telling her that life is over. Maal Khatam party will go home. It's all over you You screwed. It's all in that way. And he doesn't have any idea of what effect is gonna cause her. He's completely lost out on him It's typical of Tommy because he's also a very selfish person And this girl starts literally bawling in front of him and he's Flummoxed. He doesn't know why she became it. I remember that. He walks out and what we do in the shot is we follow her on the steady cam and What in terms of lighting what we try to do is give earlier clear path, which is the space that we had We were we gave her a path on the left of that space where we have this white light flowing in which puts her in a cool light Tommy comes out behind her and stands behind her has that sodium vapor light, which is warm So they're in two different light zones and and we follow her on the steady cam I remember we had six or eight takes of this the whole crime She had to do that single shot and Aliya was very very chilled out very very relaxed on set No matter how difficult the scene might be for her She was a little anxious about it And once once we couldn't get the camera right a couple of times for the first time There was a slight irritation on her also because it was a very difficult shot for her And how we did that is steady cam shot where she does the cry and like a time guys were chasing Tommy's wife and we just watch From the They come and beat him and for a little while Mary Jane is completely unaware of what is going on. You know, she's so lost in her own Sort of misery that she doesn't paint she can't even hear what's going on in the background and She comes really close to the camera. So it's almost like a deep focus shot where you know, you have the one character in the foreground and We are there's some important activity happen in the background A little while when she's up close in the lens, she realizes there's something about the background And she turns around and she sees what is going on behind and she sees this guy beating up and for reasons That I would leave best unexplained She just picks up that little piece of bottle that she had with sharp edges and just runs and Sighs beating those guys up lucky for us Hockey is a popular sport in in Punjab and It's also often used in street fights So it was a natural thing that these guys must have gotten into the car and opened the boot and gotten the hockey sticks out to This give this character Tommy a sound beating in this scene. There was There was a reaction the hockey and then be those boys before that were beating up They were talented bunch of boys, but they were extremely nervous about hitting Shahid too hard and I was like just go for it and just go for it and they were like no Yes And my fight master was getting furious on them and unnecessarily, you know, shouting at them I know it's still the director and the actors say go for it. Go for it. And the fight this coordinator Legs just come really close to him, but they don't really hit him. But uh, um, we did some bfx work on it God They didn't want to I think it didn't get kicked a couple of times Turns a street fight into a love moment. It's like I like this girl This scene that we decided that we'll make this character of hockey players alias character of hockey player because uh, she wields the hockey stick like the like a professional and And while she's also beating them, she she's doing it in a very she's doing it in a way that only a hockey player could The way she holds the hockey stick the way she you know, there's a shot in which Uh, the stone is kept and she scoops it up and uh, the guy gets hit. I mean that's typical of hockey player Ali doesn't play any hockey in this in this film, but she She rehearsed and she learned how to play hockey for seven months before You forgot so that she could do it at the moment. She got aliyah When she's crying and she turns around and looks at him goes and that's when the score begins And what begins is the opening refrain, uh, of My kind of girl people have said that there is a romantic track between aliyah and Shaila Tommy and Mary Jean's character, uh, I do not I don't know. I mean if there is any romance between the two maybe it'll happen after the film I mean in the real world actually just given where it's Might be some sort of infatuation but it's not gonna really work You know, because they're really disparate backgrounds I don't know if it's romance such Uh, there is there is affection for sure because there is understanding in these two people I get you man. I get who you are, you know, and I think that's what's really happened between Tommy Between I will that's what's really happened to Tommy more than even Mary Jean It's one drug addict reaching out to the other one and saying yes, I understand you I get you, you know The relation really has a fire. I miss watching her work. Yeah Apart from the emotional and the theoretical aspects of the character that she needed to understand There was a lot of other ones that you can do How to get the accent, how to get the body language right How to understand the life of Of the character that she is playing, you know working the fields and what kind of life it is And earlier worked really hard on that and we did a lot of readings, you know a lot of readings Pankaj Tripathi Sabhu's himself and accomplished actor was her trainer who not only taught her The dialect and also he also helped her understanding the character in terms of a background where she comes from What is her world what her work might have been before she came to He was her acting coach who was reading her dialect What better but when it needs to come to this scene and this men down I mean, I don't think we did it more than once or twice because both of us kind of that 22 any times would sort of Kill the spontaneity of it and I told her also that do not worry about the dialect You know, I mean dialects are important getting the Getting the lajah and the accent and the dialect right is very very important for authenticity in field But there are certain things that are more important than that and when it comes to leader The question at that moment. I mean, I would rather much rather go with the field The meaning of it all rather than that, but I think she mean it She did I think even if she is fumble on a dialect a kind of time different here. Yeah, we can't say the dialect Usually she just vomited it out, you know And how Shine is looking completely thunderstruck with what's going on I don't think he's acting because all of us were like that on set because we were quite taken with what she was doing I actually didn't even feel like cutting it because I had thought of doing it in three modifications After the first take and I kicked myself for it because we had no idea what I said I said, I just wish I had taken the close up of this because you know, then I would need any other frame But she was like, no, we'll do it. I was worried. How are you going to get that level of because it takes a lot from an actor You know when you have to uh, when you have to Form like this you scream at the top of your lungs. You're talking about something you're talking about in your entire history I mean, you know Moments like this don't it becomes personal for the actor, you know That she hasn't ever felt in her life and perhaps he feels the need to is feel genuine affection affection feel genuine love romantic Yeah, and how much I enjoy in misalia. Yeah because we haven't seen her in anything in a while Well, because obviously she's she's newer still. Yeah, I mean, obviously, you know, she's a she's a star child obviously, but She's in terms of her Great, we're obviously she started out in the student of the year Obviously, that's not the kind of work that I'm sure she wants to do or no But everybody starts off with stuff on their wisdom. We're into so the stuff that she's Like probably the best in uh in terms of what she'd like to be known as is we've seen most of it There's a few that we have and I think Kapoor and the Sons, I think that's with Shah Rukh Khan I think and her Yeah, I don't remember. I remember reacting to the trailer. I believe But uh, yeah, I do miss hers. Well, I I'm hoping we'll get to see the Sanjeev and solid one that yeah That's she's in that she's in which she was a gangster girl She was instrumental in the birthing of things with our understanding about how great Indian cinema was and she has a fire that she does no other actress I've seen has and in terms of Indian actresses. I agree as that fire I agree She has the same kind of fire and behind her eyes that she did has which is why it's so fun to watch them work Yeah, and it's a fire that's not, you know The great thing about she hid and alia is that I rarely see them acting They're just they're in they're in the moment. Well, both of them obviously come from acting families Yeah, and both have really talented parents. Yeah better I mean, you can't think of the uh, a better teacher than right after parents that are fesbians Uh, her father, I believe and then I we know his father Of course, and then his stepmother as well is our both just amazing actors. Yeah I enjoy these things. I do too makes me, uh, miss watching all and and yes I understand what he's saying and part of it is a budgetary thing because There are times where you get a moment and it can't be replicated. Oh, no Because there's this serendipitous thing that can take place where It was that moment and even the actor themselves isn't exactly sure what transpired But a good actor will be able to give you things over and over again without it being rep repetition or fainter Or faith and I it's one of the reasons and I mean he's got the budget to do it But Ridley Scott is known for using seven cameras when he films Not everybody can spend the money Ridley Scott can spend and just say hey I want to make sure I've got seven cameras running So that I've got my close up and I've got my over the shoulders and I've got my distant shot and I've got my jib and I've got Oh, most people have one camera that we're going to work with if they're doing a film It's also great that she had wanted the people to kick them and hit them Yeah, of course, um, I mean you understand you can't obviously touch their face So you don't want to you don't want to actually hurt them But the flies eat like whenever I've done like fake fighting in theater or whatever It's it helps an actor if they're actually hit in some way. Yep. So you're not like, uh You can actually react because oh i'm actually being hit Yeah, and it makes you also aware of the fact that is this scene playing for something that's real or fake Yeah, it could look really fake it really bad Well, he had to fix it in post which is why the director the stunt coordinator and she hit all new kick him There's play and i'm sure they showed them there's places you can kick him in his thighs as calves His back that you can actually haul off and do a good kick. Yeah. Yeah and not hurt not hurt him Um, but you know anyway more of these obviously it's a star And so i'm sure those are just extras and they probably were looking up to easy Yeah, it's easy for us to say if we were on set and we had to you know I would kick the shit out of she hit
