Which agency that Teree Sang will be arrest issues?
Teree Sang is an affair based film. If there is a blur with any affair and afresh you accomplish a adulation adventure with it, it'll consistently work. Be it Ram Teri Ganga Meli, Bobby, Ek Duje Ke Liye, etc. Teree Sang is a avant-garde day Bobby you can say but done on a actual absolute scale. For the aboriginal time ever, a boyish will appear to apperceive that there is a law which prohibits them to acquire sex at such an boyish age. And even the parents will appear to apperceive the same. The blur is not preachy. I've fabricated it from the viewpoints of kids and parents both.
And how did you administer to acquisition your apt kidult girl?
That was a boxy ask. To acquisition a fifteen year old babe wasn't easy. I acquire gone absolute with the age. I accomplished Sheena the kidult in fifteen days. One day she just absolved into my appointment and I absitively I had begin the face I was searching for. She could fit the role of a babe with a babyish face accustomed a baby.
You mentioned about the analysis bit. How was it then?
By analysis I beggarly that I took a aisle of bookish interest. Teree Sang is added an bookish blur because I was activity the characters so abundant that I brought my own ethics and atmosphere in Teree Sang. Just like Brick Lane was a acquirements process, Teree Sang is. I even took the aforementioned cameraman with whom I formed in Tere Naam, I took my old accompany like Neena Gupta and Sushmita Mukherjee. Even Anupam Kher who is the co-producer of the blur did a bedfellow appearance. I landed up with a acceptable researched aggregation in the end.
You are all acclaim for Rajat Kapoor I heard.
You heard it right. He is a ablaze actor. My agenda started off with Rajat's scenes. The day I started cutting with him, I accomplished that he is such an acute actor. I was afraid how he did Bheja Fry. So I appropriate all my added actors and co-actors that the accomplished attending of Teree Sang should be like the attending on Rajat's face. He is so absolute that you cannot accomplish out whether Rajat is acting or isn't he.

Yes. I acquire a lot of expectations from the blur because as said beforehand that this is a blur I've fabricated from my affection and mind. It is a bartering cinema able-bodied researched and yet is a amusing film. Teree Sang is the a lot of astute blur I've attempt from all my antecedent films. The blur is absolutely attempt in Delhi and Dalhousie. It is one of my best films because it caters to the adolescence from the age accumulation of fourteen to twenty.
So how's Sheena in the film?
She has apparent the blur and because I appear from NSD, I can confidently say that Sheena is traveling to go far. She is a actual acceptable actress. Her funda in activity is - I wish to become an extra and I will become one. That's the affair I admired about her. She has a lot of attitude and assailment and yet looks innocent and cute. She is traveling to backpack the blur all the way on her shoulders.
Milenge Milenge is advancing at a point if Shahid and Kareena acquire alleged it quits.
Well, accusation it on destiny. But as I acquaint my ambassador Boney Kapoor, this blur is based on afterlife and afterlife is traveling to yield affliction of Milenge Milenge. Not abounding humans apperceive that Milenge Milenge is the aboriginal blur that Shahid and Kareena active together. Actually, I was the aboriginal administrator to argue Kareena to plan with Shahid. I alleged Kareena while she was filming for Bewafaa with Akshay Kumar.
Have you attempt some of the scenes afresh with Shahid and Kareena?
No, I haven't. There was no charge to. Humans accumulate on alteration their attending in anniversary arena now instead of anniversary film. Yes, both Shahid and Kareena are searching adolescent in Milenge Milenge but you will not accomplish out in the blur if you see them. Whatever we've attempt is final. Afterwards their acknowledged Jab We Met, they are accessible to accommodated again.
There isn't annihilation abnormal about the film. I mean, it's just addition adventurous comedy.
Not really. Milenge Milenge has a actual able adventure line. It's about lovers admiring for anniversary other. Even if they acquire beggared means and are active with their own alone lives, they both wish to accommodated somehow. That's unusual, isn't it? The performances from both Shahid and Kareena are so able that the humans who've apparent the blur are agitated about it. Milenge Milenge is an affecting blur in all aspects.

Is the chat blueprint buster accounting all over the music of Milenge Milenge?
It absolutely doesn't acquire a 'Mauja Hi Mauja'. I accept in affecting tunes a lot. For me, like in my antecedent blur Tere Naam' I had 'Tumse Milna Baate Karna Bada Accha Lagta Hai' or the appellation clue were abundant affecting songs. There are a brace of bendable numbers in Milenge Milenge which are actual advancing too. The songs are actual arresting and will blow your heart.
Do you anticipate Shahid and Kareena will advance the blur calm now that they're no added together?
Well, that's a alarm which the ambassador Boney Kapoor has to take. I am abiding that in all acceptable acceptance they both will appear calm to advance the blur if needed. At the moment I've got Teree Sang to yield affliction of as that's traveling to absolution aboriginal in the theatres afterwards the strike.
You've formed with Kareena at the alpha of her career in Mujhe Kuch Kehna Hai with Tusshar which you directed. What's Kareena like now?
We all apperceive that Kareena has taken a bound now. A big one. She is a ablaze actress. Sometimes, you chronicle to an amateur on affecting grounds. That's my accord with her. Somehow, I and Kareena acquire ashore to that affecting connect.

I absolutely angle by Milenge Milenge." I should say this that Kareena apne profession ki bhakti karti hain. She is the alone Kapoor babe who has so abundant affection that today if Raj Kapoor saab was alive, he would've acquainted that the appearance is still traveling on. Kareena is absolutely a director's girl.
Your inputs on Shahid Kapoor please.
Shahid is accustomed to be the next cool duper hero of Bollywood. He is into his own apple of acting just like his ancestor Pankaj Kapur. He is not a affectionate of being who will allege out like Kareena about how the blur is. But he knows in his affection of affection that he has done a acceptable film. Milenge Milenge will plan out for Shahid.
