Mumbai, Maharashtra: In an exclusive interview with IANS, director Abhinay Deo and actress Plabita Borthakur spoke about their upcoming film 'Doosra'. The director shared that the film uniquely connects a woman's freedom with Sourav Ganguly's iconic shirtless moment from the NatWest series, a concept he found challenging to bring to life as a filmmaker. Further in the conversation, Plabita opened up about being typecast in unconventional female character roles after her performances in projects like Lipstick Under My Burkha and Bombay Begums. Abhinay also spoke about the growing influence of social media on youth. He also addressed rumours about veteran actor Nana Patekar's demise and reacted to actress Tanushree Dutta's bold statement on the late actor.

FunTranscript
00:00First of all, welcome to AIDAS.
00:02And, of course, you will have to say that,
00:05in the second place, Saura-Kongoli's iconic celebration,
00:07that has been done in the first place.
00:10What do you think that a little bit of a rebellion
00:12and a little bit of a rebellion
00:14has been seen from a different perspective?
00:18Honestly, I don't know whether it's seen from a different perspective or not.
00:22Today?
00:24Today?
00:25Yes.
00:26But I think this film is for that.
00:30You know, we always make these films for that.
00:34Because those who are different from their views,
00:36they don't actually stay that way.
00:38Because what Saura-Kongoli did,
00:43that was such a big moment.
00:46And in that moment, so many things have changed.
00:50And I think,
00:51we are trying to tell this film,
00:55that when that moment has changed so much,
01:00but what has changed in one person's life?
01:03So, we are all looking at a very big overall level,
01:07and we are looking at a small,
01:09one person's story.
01:12So, that I think is the.
01:14I think,
01:15how much change will it after this,
01:16or how much change was it after that,
01:19I don't know.
01:20But,
01:21according to our opinion,
01:23there has changed a lot.
01:24There has changed a lot.
01:25After that day.
01:34I will say,
01:35yes,
01:37we are making a film,
01:38that is for sure.
01:41And,
01:42I believe,
01:43that as a woman,
01:49that is something that cherche to achieve,
01:53an act of rebellion in that sense,
01:57then it is not necessarily this far.
02:02I think we have a long way to go.
02:05and we make a lot of films so that many times we don't have to think about anything.
02:14Like with me, we don't even think about any topic or anything about anything.
02:18But I've never read or read in a film or book and we suddenly feel like we can think about
02:27it.
02:27And I feel that the perspective of people is widening and changing.
02:34I feel like you have to think about it.
02:38So do you choose a role as a female character?
02:47Yes, I choose.
02:50But I will tell you that I am very lucky to believe that these roles have come to me.
02:59Because it could also be that there are only glamorous roles that I have come to me.
03:06But my directors have trusted me by trusting me.
03:13So I feel that I am lucky.
03:18And I choose.
03:20And I hope that in the future, I will choose different roles.
03:28Because as I said before, there is a lot of change from cinema.
03:33And I do not have to think about it.
03:34So if we have small things, small things, small things, small things, small things.
03:38If we can only have a role with my role, then why not?
03:40Sir, you know that Ganguli got under the shirt.
03:44And then national pride.
03:46But a woman wants to use rebelness.
03:53And wants to live this, he wants to use rebelness.
03:55So does our society need to be gender-based rules too?
03:59No, it doesn't have to happen.
04:01It doesn't have to happen.
04:05Because of freedom...
04:06Look, what is the sort of Ganguly
04:08that some people see that he got a shirt.
04:15It wasn't much necessary that he got a shirt
04:19or that he stole his hands
04:20or that he stole his hands.
04:22What is the need for that feeling?
04:26What was the feeling behind it?
04:28What was the feeling behind it?
04:29That is important.
04:31What act you do to express yourself
04:36is not as important as expressing yourself.
04:39And I think that in our society
04:42there is a little bit of a shock
04:43that we see everything from that view
04:47and from that way.
04:49What did it do?
04:50What did it do?
04:51What did it do?
04:53Why did it do?
04:54And what did it do?
04:56And what was the real meaning?
04:59What was the purpose of it?
04:59What did it do?
05:00We forget that we don't mind.
05:00So I think it is necessary
05:02that everyone has changed us
05:05and why did it do it?
05:07And why did it do it?
05:08What did it do?
05:11You have to be in the same place, you have to be in the same place where you are in
05:16the same place.
05:16You have to be in the same place where you are in the same place.
05:20Absolutely. It is very different and very challenging because it is a film with no precedent.
05:29It is not made yet.
05:30in which a girl's story is inspired and she is also a middle India girl, a patriarchal society
05:43who is growing up in her and her inspiration becomes a national hero.
05:50So this is a juxtapositioning in which we have met two different genres.
05:57We have tried to say a story, which we did not recreate.
06:03It was a very easy thing to find.
06:08It's a difficult thing, it's a very challenging thing for us.
06:12Because from the story, everything was challenging.
06:16We are saying, actually, a fictional story and an event that actually happened,
06:22we are preparing for it.
06:26So to prepare for it and then to edit it,
06:30it was a very difficult task for us.
06:34For me, this was a different genre.
06:37It was a different, a new experimental film.
06:41Now, if you say experiment or whatever you say,
06:45it's the most difficult film I have made.
06:47I have never put such a difficult film so far.
06:51I have never put such a difficult film to do.
06:55If you say experiment, this is very difficult for us.
07:01It is very difficult for us to figure out the ship.
07:06Yes, I would say that, if we are ready,
07:12we will be prepared.
07:12When will we prepare for the ship?
07:13Because at the end of the day, we have been moving forward.
07:19We are already in such a place where the youth are very sordid, they are very intelligent,
07:32they are very thinking, they are very well informed.
07:35They all know, they all think about it.
07:39From that perspective, I think today is one of the best times to release this film.
07:48Do you think that the industry has been undermined for the film,
07:50like Rehana, Bombay, Begambay, Aisha,
07:53who has been influenced by women's identity and vision?
07:57Do you think that the industry has been influenced by female characters?
08:04No, I don't think that.
08:07I have also done conventional roles.
08:13Actually, all of my roles are rebellious.
08:17But I have done four more shots, please.
08:22I mean, actually, that was also non-conventional.
08:27But I think I have also done many roles.
08:29Like I did Breathe Into the Shadows for Amazon Prime.
08:34See, when I say conventional, I don't mean that it's only glamorous or something.
08:42But I don't think that, I think that in today's day, there has been a lot of change.
08:50I think that in today's day, we, as you ask about the audience,
08:55I think that we underestimate the audience a lot.
08:58I think that the audience needs something different, something out of the box.
09:02So, I feel that the audience also needs to see an actor in such roles and in such roles.
09:08And I feel, I have been very fortunate that I have got a lot of different types of roles.
09:13Non-conventional and conventional too.
09:15But the non-conventional roles, I enjoy shooting a lot of roles.
09:20But that's the main character, your character may have given permission.
09:23Because on social media, there are different types of roles as well.
09:26And the equivalent of individuals have given the character you have given the size of
09:32those roles .
09:32What do you do with him?
09:33Do you celebrate the environment and what you do with your character?
09:36That's what you do?
09:43Because you live in an environment and what you do with your character?
09:50I live in Mumbai, I live in Mumbai, India is the most liberating city for a woman.
09:57So many times, when I look on social media on many other people's accounts,
10:06I realize that we are now a lot of back.
10:13We are now a lot of back, but there is still a lot of back.
10:18Because the women and women, they are now objectified by each side and every side.
10:30Like any woman can post something else.
10:35But from any other angle, I always think that there is an objectification.
10:42It is still happening today.
10:44And in fact, today I think that in social media, it is very tough.
10:48Especially young children, young girls.
10:54Because they have probably...
10:56I have seen a time before social media. In my teenage age.
11:01Today, young girls have a validation for them.
11:05Girls, girls, everyone.
11:06They have a lot of comments for them.
11:10So, I feel that...
11:15As even social media guidelines, I feel that they need to be strong.
11:19And they need to be strong.
11:20So that they don't have to have to be strong.
11:22So that they don't have to have to be strong and they don't have to see such abusive comments.
11:29And many people have to be strong.
11:34Because they don't have to be strong.
11:45So many of them do not know.
11:49So, I think that this goes very well.
11:51If you, an actor, or a person's actor, or an actor, or a person who has a lot of historical
11:58followers, I think that there is something that has been changed.
12:02You think that the people who do things with followers, that is true?
12:09What is it?
12:11If we decide the right and wrong, we don't have to decide the right ones.
12:15not happen. If you have followers of your followers, it is not because of any reason.
12:24If you want to cast someone in your film, it will not remain just following followers.
12:33Ultimately, when we make a film, we are talking about performance. You have to have an acting
12:40and you have to have a skill set that doesn't have anyone. So I think that following followers
12:47and auditioning them is right. Following followers and casting them is a step which is preliminary.
13:00I mean, seeing followers of their followers, how many millions, how many millions of followers
13:05are, we can see them and think that we can try them and audition them.
13:12But we have to give them directly cast them and after that, they have to have fun of themselves
13:15and the film also has to have fun of them. That is the dicey part.
13:22I don't think that in social media, every thing that doesn't come, or one thing comes
13:28from the end of the day, we have to have fun of them. We have to see them from two
13:31views. One is mind blowing, it's a ridiculous thing. The other thing is, it's a bad thing.
13:37The other thing is, it's a bad thing. It's not. It's extremely polarized.
13:41It's better to think that social media is and it's going to live.
13:46It's just like one day, one time when we were talking about aeroplane,
14:04we have to take what is good and leave the bad. That's all that we can do.
14:29Yeah.
14:32Yes, I think that there are a lot of burdens on a girl, and it's not fair, but I don't
14:41feel
14:41about a girl as a girl as a girl, because I feel that parents don't want to grow so much
14:50that they will always live our children, and those Indian parents who say that I have
15:04so much as a girl, and I think that this is a lot of unfair, because I am so lucky
15:13that
15:14my parents were very easy with us, and now I have seen my friends that I have so much
15:31So, I feel that this is definitely a lot of women on women, and also a lot of women on
15:39women, and it's a lot of time.
15:42It's always, it's always a little time.
15:46It's always a little time.
15:47It's always a mindset that suddenly can't change.
15:50Now, the mindset that my parents are very different from my parents.
15:57Today's parents, they're very different from their children.
16:01So, this change is happening.
16:05Baby steps at a time.
16:06I feel that we can, as we can, share their views and opinions so that we can understand their opinions
16:17and talk.
16:19And if we do this conversation, it will happen slowly, but it's going to be a lot of time.
16:39Yes.
16:45Yes.
16:45Yes.
16:46Yes.
16:48Yes.
16:48Yes.
16:49Because of the questions you said, why do you know what's your difficulty?
16:55Because of the curiosity you think that I mean, what are the issues that are you trying to challenge me?
17:00Honestly, I am not saying that I don't think of a message about youths in this regard.
17:03It may happen to me because of that in a certain moment, the youths in every generation, it will be
17:13very clear to yourself.
17:22I am just saying that we are approaching everything from a negative way that social media is good or bad,
17:31if I ask you, it's both.
17:35Is it influencing the youth of today in a good way or a bad way? Both.
17:41And that is what has been happening for hundreds of years.
17:44That every thing that happens is the two of them.
17:47The two of them go to one point to one point.
17:51One happens that when one hand comes to one hand comes to one hand.
17:56Like if it's positive, then it comes to positive.
17:58Or if it's negative, then it comes to negative.
18:00I personally don't think that if I have to say anything about today's youth,
18:06then I will say that whether it's social media, whether it's your own life, your parents, your thoughts, your books,
18:18your thoughts, your thoughts, your thoughts, your thoughts.
18:21Whatever it is, you think about it in depth.
18:26There is not enough knowledge on the above.
18:30Go into depth.
18:32You think about it.
18:33You think about it.
18:34You think about it.
18:35You think about it.
18:37You think about it.
18:51How do you think about it?
18:54You think about it.
18:55How do you think about it?
18:56No, they were very big actors.
18:59I personally know them.
19:02Because we were both Maharashtrian actors.
19:06I am Maharashtrian and they were also Maharashtrian.
19:09And with my dad, there were many meetings.
19:14We were also thinking about doing something together.
19:18I also know the family.
19:20I also know their children.
19:21I also know their children.
19:22So in my opinion, everyone wants to give their family good wishes.
19:29I would like to just wish them that you have courage in this cut-in time.
19:35You have courage that you can face them.
19:38But one thing I want to say is that the actors of that level are very few.
19:45And that is such a person who left everything and went to Pune and bought a farm.
19:54I have done an amazing job and all those people who had provided employment.
20:02For the young people in the hospital for 10 years, he is trying that it will be a big hospital
20:09and they are working on it and that is going to be the job.
20:12And with their jobs, they are found in their own pleasure.
20:18So,
20:20Sir,
20:21because I have said that
20:23if you have to comment on anything,
20:27then you have to have an in-depth knowledge.
20:29I don't have to say anything about this.
20:32Again,
20:35I have said that
20:37if you have to comment on anything,
20:39then you have to have an in-depth knowledge.
20:43I don't have to say anything about this.
20:45I will say that
20:47today,
20:48there is a positive in all of us.
20:51In social media,
20:53everyone can speak,
20:58and keep their thoughts on their own.
21:01But,
21:01the same thing can also be negative.
21:04That,
21:05anyone can also use social media.
21:09So,
21:10I think,
21:10as an audience,
21:12we have to be clever,
21:13we have to be smart,
21:14and we have to be very,
21:16you know,
21:17sensitive,
21:18that,
21:19what we are giving,
21:21and what we should seriously take.
21:23That's all.
21:24And,
21:25let's say,
21:25we have to have a closer look at it.
21:28what kind of characters are we doing?
21:33Now,
21:35after the release of the other,
21:37I immediately am doing a film.
21:40I am singher too.
21:42So,
21:43this is a film,
21:44this is very exciting for me because I do write this.
21:46and I'm playing the character of a musician and it's a very sweet script and I can tell
21:55more about it.
21:57But now I am excited about it and I am very excited about the release of the second release.
22:02I am very excited about it.
22:06In other words, I'm just thinking about the other thing.
22:12As a team, we all need to do it.
22:15And I will only be disappointed with you, your channel and people.
22:20These films are less than that.
22:25We are trying to say a very important point.
22:29We want to talk about the other freedom struggle about our country.
22:35And which was the other freedom struggle?
22:38What was it?
22:38It will come to you by watching the film.
22:42So please, you can watch the film and comment about it.
22:46Write it on social media.
22:48If you didn't like it, say it.
22:49If you didn't like it, say it.
22:50If you didn't like it, say it.
22:51If you didn't like it, say it.
22:53We would like to say it.
22:54But when the next project comes, we will meet you.
22:57Please, you must?
22:58Yes, thank you.
23:01In other words, I will give you a message that please,
23:05watch our film.
23:06Because, a lot of times I use to talk about this show.
23:10When you have a release, you have made a lot of love.
23:12We have made a lot of love.
23:15With a lot of effort.
23:16But it is important to us that this film always reminds us that we don't want to ask questions because
23:32it is our right, that we can ask questions, it is our right.
