Who was more irritating on set?Why did you call me?

I kept on screaming, don't, don't, don't.

Vulgar woman.Yeah, correct.I'm walking out of this.

So you came straight from Chennai?

Yeah.

Yesterday you came.Yesterday I had a meeting also.

What is this?I was trying to scare you guys.It's a ghost bungalow promotion.No one got scared.No.No.

You guys are scoundrels.My God.My God.Bullied Indian cat.What an action you guys did.Wow.

You didn't do this much in the movie.

Can I ask you something?

Yes, sir.

How are you still maintaining yourself?

See, this is my father.Father, sit.Sit.Where did Akshay go?Why did you pick me up?I was enjoying.

Yes.But I have a slip disk.

So guys, we are here.I am Farah Khan.And as you can see.. ..the legends of comedy are sitting here.The legendary director Priya Darshan.

. ..whom I address as Appa.. ..because whatever filmmaking I have learnt.

. ..it is all his fault.But I have always seen your interview.

. ..where you give the names of two people.

Priya Darshan and Mani Ratnam.

Then I saw..Tell me, who is better?The one who is sitting next to me.

And of course, the superstar, Akshay Kumar.I want to tell you that I know Farah for a long time.Yes, I know her for a long time.No, sir.

No.Don't lie.We used to get 1000 rupees.And she was an amazing dancer.

There was a place, a disco called Zanadu.And she used to go there.

And he used to come with one new girlfriend every week.

Don't lie.

No, no.He used to bring only one girlfriend.

He used to change 13 partners.

Why this has become about my life?I don't understand.Because I know about you.

I know.

Today we are here for the promotion of Bhoot Bangla.

Okay.

Let me tell you all that Bhoot Bangla is on Netflix.And I remembered Rajpal also from Bhoot Bangla.I know.We worked for the first time on my YouTube channel.. ..where he made veg rice for me.

He directed me.

Ajay, do you know how to cook?

He knows how to cook.

No, he cooked very well.

He can tell good stories too.

Stories too?Who was more irritating on sets?

I was the most irritating.That I have to ask.

For him, Vamika.Oh, yes.Priyan used to send the heroine to wash her face first.

He hates make -up.He wants the hero and the heroine.. ..to look as natural as they look without make -up.

Naturally.After 14 years of exile, we have come back.Congratulations.14 long years you have not been around.

. ..in Hindi movies.But what to do?He has finished about 98 films.99, right?

98 so far.99 will start now.

And 9 is your lucky number.

And he is making 100 with Mohanlal.Which I think..Sir, we all want to do each scene with him.

Sir, I can also do one song in that.

You have not worked with me for very long.Okay.Her first Filmfare award was from my film, Virasat.I only gave her the award.Now after that, she became the ultimate person of India.Bollywood cinema.. ..and she

. ..and she never had time.Last I worked with her is Deepika and Shah Rukh.That song.

Yes.For Billu Barber.I have to tell you one incident, sir, about.

.

Why are they opening my pole?Funny incident, sir.There used to be an award called Bollywood Awards in New York.So, sir, I was there.Twinkle Khanna was also there, my wife.They had called Farah to give her the award for best choreographer.

So, Twinkle was called on the stage saying.. ..here, this is the envelope.You announce the best choreographer.She had one mic in one hand.And to open, she couldn't open it.

Because you need both the hands.So, she was feeling embarrassed, she couldn't open it.So, mostly they give the awards to the person who is there.

So, she just panned.And she saw Ganesh Hegde.I swear.

Young and she gave my award to me.She said, without opening.. ..and the best choreographer award goes to.. ..she thought it must be Ganesh Hegde.

So she has come all the way from Bombay to take the award.And she was not given.And Ganesh Hegde took the award.She is saying, why did you call me?

It was very funny.

I have forgotten.I haven't taken his revenge.Do one thing.

Take revenge.You have this habit of taking revenge all your life.Let's move ahead.Let's talk about Bhoot Bangla.

Akshay, you have worked with Appa after 14 years.Did you miss him or not?We missed each other a lot.But we tried to.. .. .

work on different scripts.But couldn't.And then we hit upon this.What worked for me did not work for him.

What worked for him did not work for me.

Finally we did.

Finally you got a movie that worked for everybody.Yeah.Thank God.God is kind.But he is so punctual.

And he is even more punctual.Who used to come to the set earlier?With Priyan sir, it is like that.Technicians, he calls them at 9 o 'clock.This is theThis is the only rule he comes up with.

Because we have to pick up the lights.

True.It's true.So sir, we were shooting Teesmar Khan in Malchegh.. ..and there was a call time of 8 o 'clock every morning.So we stayed in Malchegh.

Malchegh is 2 .5 hours away from here.Mumbai.Akshay used to go home after the pack up every evening.And every morning he would reach over there at quarter to eight.

How?

Tell me how?By helicopter.By helicopter.First time as an actor.He used to take the helicopter like a taxi.But he would reach bang on time.

But no one had a problem.I had no problem.I was there.

Yes, correct.

I was there.You were there.I lost my money.

I lost your money.

Scoundrel, you've earned the most money in that film.Call Ronnie and ask him how much money we've earned.Okay, tell me something.Y 'all have both given how many movies together?This was the eighth.Eighth movie.

And in how many Rajpal movies were you in?

In all of them.Rajpal was...I was in Angama, which didn't have Bhai in it.

Malamal Bikli.And..

Rajpal has taken life membership with me.What is that?Chup chup ke.Chup chup ke, don't.Chup chup ke, don't.Actually, Rajpal, after Mohanlal.

. ..

Rajpal is the actor you've worked most with.

Priya, Appa, have you heard the scripts that you're making?

No, I basically write the screenplay of all my films.So you know.So he knows everything, yeah.

But dialogue by dialogue, who does it?Everything, he knows it because.. ..you know what it is?He writes in Malayalam first.Yeah.

Then he writes in English.Yeah.Then he writes it in Hindi.

So by the time he is ready, he knows the script by heart.

Then you all come to find out.If someone says a wrong line in Hindi.. ..he knows each and every comma.

That much I have learnt.No, no, no.I don't want.

It's difficult for him to speak.But yes, he understands everything what is happening.But one thing about Appa.. ..if he is not convinced, you can do anything.do. So,

So, Farah, do you believe in ghosts?

Oh, yeah.I do.I do.Have you seen one?When I was five years old, one ghost was born in my family.Do you ever get scared?

With folded hands, yes.Maybe.Yes.With full respect, yes.If they are there, yes.If there is something, energy, thank you very much.

Just take care of all of us.

That's it.

I don't believe in ghosts.He doesn't.Because the problem is, I was a psychology student.So I, but no rhyme or reason.Like Bulbul -E -Yaar.So there cannot be any ghost.

It is only a feeling of others.So that is the way I look at it.So I am not afraid of ghosts at all.

But I am saying that today's generation is fascinated by horror and supernatural and all.That is why horror, comedy, I think...

But you have to give it in logic.There has to be..There has to be a little bit.

. ..logic behind it.There should be a support.

. ..

saying that why it could happen.Okay.Which is the scariest.. ..ghost movie that you all have seen?

Seetmar Khan is not your favourite horror movie.

There was a film I did called Joker.

Moving on.Go ahead.Purana Mandir.Ramse Ki.Ramse Ki.The way you are sitting.

. ..I was very scared.Have you seen Purana Mandir?Yes, of course.It was an amazing film.

Old doors.Ram Sehs used to make those.But again..And the makeup of the ghosts at that time.

.They used to take..

Sir, they used to apply ginger.

Yes.They used to stick ginger.Correct.Bangla, because that is also about a ghost which takes away the brides.

Yes, Jaani Dushman, correct.Is there any comedy genre that you Guilty pleasure movie of yours.. ..which you love watching again and again.I know what the answer is.

If you know the answer, you better say that.

Which you made Garam Masala out of.

I am always looking for a situation in a comedy film.If I get one situation.

. ..then I think I have it.Then you can make the whole script around it.

Then I know how to make it complicated.

Rajpal, you have done so many comedy films.

Which is your favourite comedy film in life?Before Hera Pheri, we had come to the railway station.So, we had to go.And there were grapes.Okay.But when we saw Hera Pheri, the first one.

Yes, the first one.Then after that, everything went wrong.

That film has reached the hall 3 -4 times.

It's a cult movie.

I think every film has its own destiny.That is true.But this risk, y 'all both took because he was reigning action star at that time.At the time of Tera Peri.

Not only he, even Sunil Shetty.Sunil also.

And Paresh was a villain.Correct, exactly.So you took action star, villain and you made a cult comedy out of it.It was like, should I switch now?Because I'll tell you, Akshay is known to be so canny with...I mean, he knows it's enough, he'll get bored.

He switches genres so easily.I don't think any star has done that till now.

No, basically, I believe because it's in his body language.That's street smart.And there is a word in Hindi which is banned by Sensei called Harami.And there is a child inside him.

Always there is a strong child inside him.is dying to say something. Go

Go ahead.He has told me a lot.I didn't even know that when he asked me to play Hera Pheri, he offered me the role of Sunil Shetty first.

He told me, I don't want a heroine.I don't want to be a hero.I'll do the villain.

So he played the role of a scoundrel.Yeah, correct.

That role he has done.

He is very good at it.He chose the role.That role in Harami.

The good thing is, even today, in Bhoot Bangla, that if you ask the director to do another take, he doesn't just say, if you want to do it again, do it well, do it again.There's something in the mind, which may not come out, that's why he asks you to do it again.So, some miracle comes out.

But he has been physically, I mean, he has been thrashing you.

Is he mad?Did he get a scratch?

Not yet.Bhaagam Bhaag's climax, sir hung us on a crane 50 -60 feet above, all the actors.And I hung like this, my hand was on top, I'll fall!Do you remember?The whole day we were... .

.how he was hanging on the crane and going to the last climb of Bhagamba.

Few people.Like Charlie Chaplin used to be there.

Exactly.Jackie Chan.

Correct.So these people.

.And they are all physically very agile.Fit.

And sir, later on their body...A lot of people say they can't walk.Because physical comedy...

Kamal bhai is saying this for you.

No, no.

No, right?

He's a ghee -eating man.

Oh my God!Wow!What are you doing?Stand for two minutes.54.How much?

54.54.

Next year, I'm going to be 70 years old.

Oh my God.Appa, you're looking very fit and young.

So far so good.As long as the health is very important for you to execute films.

Correct.Correct.

Because whenever you want to make a big sequence, the most important thing is only when you can move, you can walk correctly.You can climb, then only we can make a film work.

Have you ever got angry on set, sir?

Have you ever seen me?Never, never.I never get angry.Moreover, I don't like noise in my set.

If the actor is late, sir gets angry.I had a shooting at 9, I reached at 10 .30.Where were you?I said, sir had gone to sleep.No, it was relaxed.I said, still he spoke the truth.

He spoke the truth.You are angry.I am not angry.

While directing the movie, while choreographing, I have seen, I mean to say, this is the worst.

You were going to say worst?

No, worst means, I have, you know, you yourself don't know what you say.

I know.

You were angry with her.

With whom?

With Katrina.She had said, sir, Hey, where is my gun?Where is your gun?She never had a gun.He said he wanted to shoot Katrina.

No, but my set is....very silent when Farrah is there.You'll only hear her voice.

But sir, how fast I shoot also.Yeah, you shoot very fast.You shoot very fast.

And you're very clear.You have that paper in your hand.. ..which you keep on writing.And that paper is torn, but still you keep on writing.I'm done.

that.I write a script.A song script.A short number shot.I have to save myself from this.Because he used to come and take my paper.

And he used to cut the shot in between.As if it's done.

Sir, tell us about Manoj Joshi once.I don't like him.

He is very dangerous.

Manoj Joshi, all day.

.The most interesting thing, I was sitting with me and Sunil here and Akshay there.And a call came for...Akshay, we were talking and Akshay picked up the phone and said, who asked you to call and I can't do this for you, next time don't call me and all those things, and he kept the phone.Sunil said, why are you so angry?Somebody is calling.

Okay, that's still...It is not my phone.It's your phone.And she shouted at him.Every man runs away from his phone.

He is a very dangerous man. I stopped wearing watches.

Once I took out someone's watch.I found out later that it was worth 5 crores.

Oh my God!

And I am talking about a long time ago.

Was he a hero or a heroine?

No, an industrialist.

I want to ask you that this idea of Bhoot BanglaSo did you get this idea from there that the work we have done is so relevant for this audience that we should get back together?

No, basically we all started with Bulbulaiya.There are so many levels of humour.When things can be funny and a little satirical, And they can apply the same dialogue or same situation, inter -political situation, they can use it in any kind of social situation, they can put it.I think that's the reason the memes are made.I mean, becoming so popular with humour.

We are talking about dialogues, our cult dialogues.So, let's play a game.Akshay, you will hold this board.There is a ranking of 1 to 10.You have to rank which dialogue will come in 1 to 10 according to you.So the first dialogue is from Bhool Bhulaiya.

There's a meme dialogue which is very popular from Main Hoon Na, where Shah Rukh says...

Third...

Dialogue is from Teesmar Khan, Akshay's dialogue.Then Akshay's dialogue from Om Shanti Om.

Leave it.This is my award.This is cheating.This is fraud.

Have you seen this scene?No, I have seen the film.I don't remember.

Sir, you should see the fight she has taken.Where I throw the gun up and then I catch it here and I fire it.

And then he goes like this.

Vulgar woman.I kept on screaming.

Don't, don't, don't.

Don't take this.

Who told you to do it from behind?

Sir, I didn't say it from behind.

Number 5 is..

.Thank you.

Now put it in 5.Just put it in 5.Because the situation is very nice.

No, he wanted to put a number 1.

Yes, he wanted to put a number 1.

No, no, no, sir.5 numbers.Put it in 5.Now comes the number 1 dialogue.9.9?

I'm walking out of this.What?The whole gang up is happening.Then which number?

Yeah, let us fill all the columns first.

8th number is Ismar Khan's dialogue.Next is..

.Put it in 4.Four.

Yeah, good.Okay.Now it's Tismar Khan's dialogue.

I am not a pre -actor, the audience is saying it.

I am saying put it on 1.Which one is missing here?These two are here.Put the dialogues of all my movies below.

Tell me one thing, there is only one on number 1.

Can I say one thing sir?Yes, say.Sir, put the one with water on number 1.Because this water thing...Water!Do it, do it, do it.

I'm outnumbered.

Sir, let's bring this here on number 5.

Which one is this?Can you see Shah Rukh is going down and Akshay is coming up.

Let's do one thing, I'll go down and Shah Rukh will go up.

No, don't do that.Don't do that.Put Aadpal down.

I don't want Rajpal.

Rajpal is already down.

Look at Rajpal, he's amazing.Rajpal is on 10 and Rajpal is on 1.Final?Shah Rukh is my friend.Don't say that.It's not like that.

You guys are friends.Okay, we've talked enough.Akshay, read your line.

Yes, so it's like this.Friends, our film is on Netflix, Bhoot Bangla.So, with your family, ..your grandparents, uncles, aunts, uncles, aunts.. ..sit together and watch.

. ..a very good and amazing entertaining film.
