Viveik on Shootout At Lokhandwala... Contd.
Any
incident
that
struck
you
while
you
were
discovering
things
about
Maya
Dolas?
A:
During
the
homework
I
discovered
a
lot
of
things.
Like,
I
met
inspector
Quavi,
a
daring
inspector
and
a
fascinating
man.
Two
bullets
had
hit
him
-
one
on
his
chest
and
one
on
his
arm.
The
one,
which
hit
his
chest,
was
stopped
by
the
bullet
proof,
which
he
was
wearing,
but
the
one,
which
hit
his
arm,
tore
away
his
nerves.
It
has
been
16
years
since
then,
but
he
still
visits
the
Nanavati
Hospital
for
his
physiotherapy.
The
bullet
caused
so
much
harm
to
him.
So
it
gave
me
an
idea
and
perspective
that
for
us
it
was
an
incident
and
a
story
and
we
all
moved
on.
But,
for
that
cop
that
day
is
still
there
in
his
arm.
Tell
us
about
your
look
in
the
movie
?
Well,
we
tried
to
create
a
sense
of
realism,
which
Maya
was,
and
mix
it
with
a
little
bit
of
creative
liberty,
a
bit
of
legend.
We
tried
to
create
the
awe
of
Maya.
Everybody
looks
at
him
with
awe.
He
is
a
larger
than
life
figure.
So,
the
costume
designer,
Apoorva
the
director
and
I
worked
together
on
that
and
the
little
small
minute
details,
which
hopefully
people
would
notice
in
the
film.
How
comfortable
were
you
with
the
lingo?
The
lingo
was
cool.
We
had
a
very
good
writer
Raj
Vasant
on
board
who
he
did
most
of
the
dialogues.
But
most
of
the
lingo
was
easy.
We
had
to
get
that
Bambiya
lingo
with
a
little
bit
of
that
Maharastrian
drawl
in
it.
That's
all.
Since
now
you
know
so
much
about
him,
how
much
do
you
sympathize
with
the
character
of
Maya
Dolas?
See,
it
is
very
easy
to
analyze
people,
but
once
you
get
into
the
depth
of
things
and
start
understanding
things,
you
will
find
that
it
is
difficult
to
decide
as
to
whether
to
kill
criminals
or
crime.
Is
it
because
of
crime
that
a
criminal
arises
or
is
it
because
of
criminals
that
crime
breeds?
When
I
talk
to
policemen,
I
feel
for
them.
Being
humans,
they
are
faced
with
such
tough
situations.
They
are
blamed
for
so
many
things,
but
eventually
they
should
realize
that
even
they
are
bound.
So
sometimes
even
they
break
the
rules
to
uphold
them.
So,
who
do
you
favour,
the
criminals
or
the
policemen?
I
sympathize
more
with
the
policemen.
I
feel
that
they
are
the
unsung
heroes
and
I
feel
that
the
country's
best
police
are
the
Mumbai
Police.
They
have
to
struggle
so
much,
they
risk
their
lives
for
us,
but
yet
we
are
thankless
to
them.
There
are
so
many
rules
and
restrictions
that
they
have
to
work
under.
You
seem
to
be
sharing
a
good
rapport
with
your
onscreen
gangster
friends?
How
good
was
this
chemistry
off
screen?
Excellent.
I
think
it
was
pretty
difficult
to
compare
our
onscreen
and
off
screen
chemistry.
We
had
lots
of
fun
while
shooting.
Sanjay
Gupta
and
Sanjay
Dutt
are
very
warm
kind
of
people,
very
cool.
So
they
set
the
tone
for
the
entire
production.
They
are
great
people
to
work
with,
fantastic
producers
who
would
provide
anything
for
creativity
to
grow
under
them.
Apoorva
is
a
super
director,
cool
guy,
funny,
chilled
out
and
I
think
as
a
director
of
this
film,
he
is
excellent
and
he
is
really
gone
beyond
himself.
So,
because
of
this
and
all
of
us
guys
hanging
out,
the
mood
of
the
sets
used
to
be
something
else,
there
used
to
be
full
dhamal.
Tusshar,
Shabbir
and
Rohit,
we
all
have
become
good
friends
now.
How
do
you
find
the
producers,
Ekta
and
Shobha
Kapoor,
who
are
leading
in
television
production?
Balaji
is
great
company
and
I
think
they
have
been
very
supportive,
they
have
a
very
good
relationship
with
White
Feather
and
that
is
why
Shootout....
has
been
so
comfortable.
