much thank you thank you it's 25 years it's like wow it's amazing but yes the magic of the cinema
is not the same as it used to be what it was when my dad started his career you can't make a sequel
to gupt there's no way i chose to do the film they didn't force me to do the film they didn't
choose a film for me it was my decision hi guys this is himesh and welcome to pinkvilla today we
have with us bobby deville whose film gupt has completed 25 years welcome to pinkvilla bobby
it's lovely having you here thank you so much thank you thank you it's 25 years it's like
wow it's amazing and do you remember your reaction when rajiv raiser first narrated the stuff to you
i mean i kind of remember it it was at my office and i always wanted to work with rajiv because i
knew him before that he had been working with my brother and i knew the kind of movies he made were
like larger than live big scale you know on screen they were like humongous like and when he narrated
the subject to me it was just so interesting you know because it's a thriller and on the same time
for the first time the killer was going to be a woman and it was like wow very excited when
he was narrating this good to you were you able to guess the killer at that point he didn't tell
me who the killer was going to be he was also very you know i i suddenly remember that like
he never told me who the killer was going to be at the time and he narrated the idea but then when he
decided that kajal was a killer i thought it was so cool because you know no one would even imagine
kajal being the killer and luckily there was no social media no mobile phones so no one got to
know otherwise a movie like that made now people would know it in like three seconds of the movie
that you know the killer is so and so and so you know like you said you didn't know who was
the killer when he narrated the script to you what got you on board the film i just wanted
i think it was just an exciting story it was very interesting about a boy whose father and him have
an issue and then how he's a little reckless and things go wrong and how he wants he loves
this woman and there's another woman who loves him and he is so young and that age when you it was a
story about that age and so i think it was very interesting no one was making a story like that
and then having a murder in that was made it even more interesting rajiv rai abbas mustang these two
people have given you two of your best trailers actually so many with abbas mustang this one with
how do you define or how do you view their world of thrillers how i really feel that it's i mean i
wish i had done more work with rajeev because it's just things didn't work out the right way at that
point and we didn't end up working together but i think uh working with abbas by muslim buyer was
i mean they treat me like the younger brother you know i've done so many movies with them so
they were amazing directors i mean they're still amazing characters it's just you know i don't
see anyone who's who can come up to their level of creating that kind of cinema and so you know rajiv
i had worked with sunny sir before you and two films did you visit the sets back then much before
song came out and everybody was like using it and uh you know it became an issue because
people were doing uh boys with eve seizing girls and all that stuff was happening and
it was just a craze that song and then i was i went for vishwa atma shooting to nairobi
in kenya and it was nice to be a part of it so it was like i met shabeed and rajiv around the same
time so they go a long way and so you know you come from a family where heroism runs in the blood
dharamji sunnis it was actually the first one wherein you were playing that macho hero with
action that entry it wasn't the first time i was playing a machine but i was already playing you
know but like this was more stylized and this was more glamorized and you had that entry with
you know on that song and everything how did sunny sir and dharamji react
too good i think they were very confident that i was working with rajiv you know because my brother
already worked with rajeev and my dad had already worked with raji's dad in earlier films they knew
their son or their brother was in safe hands you know and i chose to do the film they didn't force
me to do the film they didn't choose the film for me it was my decision you know so i decided that
yeah i want to do this room not because my brother told me or my dad told me and you know 25 years of
book aside there are so many other classics that you have done in the thriller space which is your
favorite there's a hamras there's i think in all my life i've done a lot of good films i have i'm
close to them from my heart but my most closest to my heart is dilagi okay because i think my
that was the first time my brother directed a film and it has a lot of emotions and a lot of
thing behind it that's attached to it so i think it was my best performance
i think and i had a great character to play and i think that's my favorite show and do you believe
any of you are these thrillers or even bill lucky for that do you think any of them warrant a sequel
franchisee or anything you can't make a sequel to good there's no way soldier maybe you can
but not good so i guess i don't know why so you know there is one more aspect of book which
stands out is the music yes yeah oh my god the music i still remember going to western outdoors
there was a recording studio it was in near the in town area i forgot the fountain
and i remember hearing the sound for the first time and it was just amazing i mean
miju and raji's combination was just world class can we say gupta was one of your best
introductory scenes ever with that song the beats and well you can say the best musical
introduction of mine ever and uh you know i asked this to kajal as well do you miss the times of the
90s and early 2000s when these big film premieres used to take place with entire industry coming
together to cheer to support well things have to change with time yes everybody looks back in their
lives and thinks about things they're not the same anymore but i guess you have to move with time
so i don't have any regrets about it you have to move it and be sensible but yes the magic
of the cinema is not the same as it used to be what it was when my dad started his career
and now it's different it's all uh become very digital now and so you know you spoke about rajiv
right this was your first and only association with him after gupta were there times when you
discussed subjects and it didn't work out what was it like things were not meant to happen
didn't happen but he's always been a close friend of mine and he's a sweetheart amazing person and
i'm just glad that i got to know him because of our group and last couple of questions that
dharamji is such a legend he's working even now like as we speak he must be shooting for currency
does that motivate you in terms of you know keep keep obviously i mean you grow up looking up to
your parents and every child gets motivated by their parents and yes i am definitely inspired
by my father my mother my brother my sisters all of them inspire me to be the person i have
and lastly could you tell us what are your upcoming films like after this right now i
have uh you know nowadays they signed india so you can't talk about much of your work but animal has
already been announced i'm doing an animal with sandeep reddy venga i'm really looking forward to
working with him he's a great director and working with ranbir for the first time and anil again yeah
