Film Fraternity

Was there a lot of brotherly bonding during the shoot?
Arbaaz: The shooting was done at a set on the outskirts of Chandigarh. For the month that we were there it was like we were one big happy family,not just both of us but everyone. The entire team would eat together and discuss the shots every day. I think Sohail was quite stressed out though; he’s the producer after all.
Sohail: I wasn’t stressed at all. In fact,everything was so well planned that we finished our shoot three days before schedule. I’ve spent most of my life with my brother so I took this chance to bond with Jackie Shroff. He’s such an amazing person that I spent every free minute hanging out with him.

Does this mean no more rib-ticklers from you?
Arbaaz: While the story does have its moments of seriousness,we’ve made a complete entertainer. So we have songs,dance,drama,comedy,romance,action and everything.
Sohail: We obviously can’t go out and do any slapstick,but the movie definitely has its light moments.

Arbaaz has just started his own production company,do you have any tips for him?
Sohail: He’s lived in a filmy atmosphere all his life and I think films are in our blood. But I think he should just take everything easy and think before every step. I know he’s already keeping his ears and eyes open at all times. He already asks a lot of questions and that’s the right way to go.

Arbaaz,will you be working with your brothers on all your productions?
Arbaaz: I would love to have my family involved in all my projects,but it’s not a compulsion. Salman is busy; it isn’t easy to find a project that will excite him and that he will have the time to do. I’ve started my first venture,Dadanng with him and the rest depends on what the script requires.

What do you love best about each other?
Arbaaz: I love that he is both easygoing and responsible at the same time. I often forget he’s the younger one.
Sohail: Arbaaz is just so comfortable in front of the camera. Right now as a producer,I just love him for being such a great actor.
