Grandma!

Grandma?!

Is she dead?

Yes!

Oh... Finally!

What a relief!

My mom has just died and how are you guys reacting!

Hey father-in-law...

Don't get too sentimental, she lived for 140 years.

Wasn't that enough?

Even then daughter-in-law. - what 'even then daughter-in-law'?

Give.

Daughter-in-law?!

Come on!

Give.

Hid it in your kurta?

Give it to me.

F***.

Locker number?

What?!

Grandma!

Grandma! Grandma!

Mom!

Mom!

Grandma!

Grandma!

Grandma!

Grandma!

Grandma!

Wake up!

Somebody wake this old-woman up!

Grandma!

Grandma!

Grandma!

Grandma!

Grandma!

Grandma what's the locker number?

Wonderful Sir!

After all these years... you still look handsome!

The same star!

Cut the crap off.

Is the shot ready?

Where's the script?

Since when do you need a script, sir?

The concept of a script is way beneath you.

Anyway, I have a script and I have it in my head, Sir.

Start to end along with the edit, I have locked it in my mind.

Okay... where's the horse?

Here's the horse, sir.

Come, I'll show it to you. -What the f***!

Is this a horse?

Sir, it's new technology.

There is no need of an actual horse now.

Take a seat, sir.

First remove these stupid glasses you're wearing.

Sir, I'll remove them right away.

Sir just think this is the snaffle.

Remember how you used to run chariots in Mahabharata?

Just like that hold these and lean forward, backward.

Forward and backwards.

Mr. Kranti Sharma you should have procured a budget for a horse, at least.

Actually sir, after paying you there was no money left to rent a horse.

And sir, renting a horse in lieu of your payment didn't seem right.

What the f****** crap! Come on shoot whatever you have to, fast!

Tell me what do I have to do. -Yes sir, absolutely.

Yes sir, whatever I had told you.

Forward and backwards -Forward and backwards?

Yes sir. -Come on.

Say action, quickly. -Ready Sir.

Action!

Do I increase the intensity?

No sir it's fine.

It's fine?

Nice sir! Amazing! Very Nice!

Really good, sir!

A bit more energy sir.

Amazing sir! Amazing!

Oh my god!

Arjun?!

Mahabarata's Arjun!

I'm a big fan and you know what? Me and my mom used to watch his Mahabharat every sunday.

Amazing right? -Yes!

They will be so happy!

That's so cool.

What amazing? Look at this close-up shot.

Now Mr. Sharma is going to piece this shot with Arjun's close-up shot.

S***.

Amazing, huh?

What?

What nonsense is this?

You work in these kind of films?

Films?... I work for TV babe.

What?

TV.

I mean, like.

You said you work in films.

That too... I'll explain.

I work in a TV show called 'Pyaar ka rishta Bhulaye se na bhule'.

I'm sure you've seen it.

I'm sorry... I don't watch TV.

I don't watch TV either.

But you just said that you and your mom used to watch Maharabharata.

Are you out of your mind?!

How can you compare Mahabharata and daily soaps?!

Yuck.

But baby daily soaps are good.

Daily soaps are great!

You're right man, I agree.

Just a bit more energy, Sir. More energy?

Amazing, really amazing !

Hello Nox.

Hello madam.

Ladies... can we get some privacy?

Just think they are not here.

Tell me Nox.

What's your problem now?

Madam I just came to say I'm out.

I cannot do this show anymore.

I mean the way you guys work is...

It's very different and... it's a way to success indeed, but...

I came to this industry with some unique dreams.

Did I just say 'unique'?

What the f*** am I saying?

I have started to talk like one of your cheap characters, have you noticed that?

And I have started to follow instructions like a robot.

Manav look to your left, no to your right, no look down, no look in the camera and smile Manav.

Who the f*** is Manav?

My name is Nakuul.

And I'm an actor.

That's what I like to think.

Not a soap which you can use however you want to.

I think we are called 'soap actors' because people know...

Rub them how much ever you want however you want because you'll get a new one once it turns stale.

Then what is there to complain about?

When you go to a supermarket or take a stroll in the park.

Some people would absolutely be there to take a selfie with you.

Mr. Manav when are you and Ms. Pallavi getting together?

Mr. Manav you're really rude to your mother.

Mr. Manav who do you love the most? Your mother or Ms. Pallavi?

I feel like shooting all of them with a machine gun.

Now I'll see who gives me the "best husband award" or "best son award".

F****** soap watchers.

I didn't come to do this s***.

I wanted to stand out.

I wanted to learn

Grow, evolve I didn't want to be a rat in a f***** rat race.

And even if I wanted to become a rat then why this? I would have done something else, right?

Why this whole drama about being an artist.

I'm happy Nox.

You've finally learned to say a monologue.

Nox.

I reckon you know that girl, the one who was sitting outside with you.

Yeah.

She ran away from her home in Bhopal.

But she didn't come alone.

There are at least 40-45 thousand girls and guys like her...

Run away from their homes every year to come this 'city of dreams'.

With what dreams?

Of course.

The dream of becoming a hero or a heroine.

Have you ever heard...

That Mr. Mishra's daughter ran away from home along with her father's money to become a scientist?

Or to become an artist?

She must hardly know the 'A' of art.

And out of these 45,000 people...

How many get a chance?

One?

Two?

Ten?

Nakuul.

What you're rejecting today...

People would sell their sould to accept it.

Sorry... to use the cheap, corny language of my own shows.

You just don't get it Nox.

Really.

In a world where everyone wants to stand out.

All you have to do... is just stand in.

You're good.

You're really good, I mean... building this big empire, all alone is not easy.

I know that.

You know I'm really thankful for all that you've done for me...

I do not have anything else to give you.

I need a break... I have to follow my dreams.

Do you even know how many problems we have to face because you do not want to do TV.

I know dad.

But... -Do you know tur dal is Rs 200 per kilo.

What?

200?!

You have a 4 month old dairy bill pending.

You have been removed from teh show what are you going to do wiht eggs?

Why leave the show, has he gone mad?

I have a simple solution for your problem.

You really have a solution, tell me D.

Odd-even formula. Monday, wednesday and friday you get dal and tuesday, thursday, saturday vegetables.

Ohh, you're giving me the Delhi formula!

What happened to you?

Mukesh Chhabra called me.

Anurag Kashyap has called me for a project
