Language barriers apart, Rajesh Karkera welcomes two foreign nationals warmly and gets them talking about style and fashion at the Lakme Fashion Week.
'Ashwiny Iyer comes from a school of Nil Battey Sannata.' 'The writer of the film Nitesh Tiwari made Dangal.' 'So you can see the kind of cinema they have done and how they will treat the film.' 'That will make Bareilly Ki Barfi different.'
As the Lakme Fashion Week Winter Festive 2017 begins, Rajesh Karkera/Rediff.com captures the chaos backstage.
'In today's time, everyone is distressed and we don't know with what mood a person will come to watch a movie.' 'So it is better to say whatever you want with humour.'
'You guys use the word "rebel", "ladaku".' 'I don't take offence to that.' 'But I will take what is my right, be it by fighting or any other means.'
'A lot of fraud films are being made in the name of realistic cinema.'
There's no way you can survive without your sister!
'How is it okay for a woman to show her private parts to the world just because she wants to go to the toilet?' 'She can't show her face -- you want her to pull her ghoongat till her navel -- but you are okay with her flashing to everybody!'
'Munna Michael was not planned at all.' 'On the last day of the shooting for Heropanti, I gave Tiger a small narration.' 'He loved it.' 'Last year, Tiger reminded me of that narration, and asked, "Why don't you make it?"' 'Because of his excitement, this film has happened.'
'I don't want to be normal.' 'I have worked so hard to get people to notice me that if they are noticing me now, I am very happy.' 'If they are saying anything -- good or bad -- I am fine with it.'
'Reality shows don't teach contestants how to deal with the reality of being a singer.'
How the Galti Se Mistake song was filmed, and other stories from Jagga Jasoos...
'This film can be taken to the world.' 'I don't think cinema needs a particular language to understand it...' 'Salman has given me everything I have.' 'Whatever I am today is because of him.' 'Hopefully, one day, I will direct a film with him.'
'I was on my toes the entire time because I was working with such great actors.' 'I learnt a lot.'
The film's unoriginal action and the plot-within-plot structure may prove to be its downfall, warns die-hard Transformers fan Rajesh Karkera.
'Until I remove that character from my head and empty the space, other characters cannot take that place.'
