Riteish
Deshmukh
has
already
proven
himself
in
his
previous
comic
roles.
Now
he
teams
up
with
Akshay
Kumar
and
Fardeen
Khan
in
television
anchor-turned-director
Sajid
Khan's
laughter
riot
Heyy
Babyy.
The
three
will
be
seen
taking
care
of
a
six-month-old
in
the
film.
He
talked
to
us
about
his
experience
with
the
movie,
lessons
from
it,
and
his
future
projects.
What
are
the
similarities
or
dissimilarities
between
Tanmay
Joglekar
from
Pandharpur
and
Riteish
Deshmukh
from
Narathwada?
It's
tough
for
me
to
describe
it.
This
is
for
the
first
time
that
I'm
playing
a
character
who
settles
down
in
Sydney,
despite
being
from
Pandharpur.
Eddy
Teddy,
as
he
is
called,
is
the
main
attraction
at
children's
birthday
parties.
Whenever
he
gets
furious
he
rebukes
the
Australian
children
in
Marathi.
I
think
people
will
enjoy
it.
We
learnt
that
you
had
to
wear
a
costume
of
20
kgs
for
the
character...
Yeah,
that's
true.
The
costume
was
funny
for
the
children,
but
not
for
me.
I
had
to
dress
up
like
that
because
the
character
turns
up
like
a
teddy
bear
at
the
kids'
parties.
The
shooting
spot
was
quite
hot
and
the
added
weight
made
my
condition
worse.
How
did
you
handle
the
six-month-old
baby
in
this
film?
Till
I
was
13
or
14
years
old,
I
used
to
play
with
my
younger
cousins.
But
it's
due
to
this
film
that
I
came
to
know
more
about
children
and
how
it
feels
to
be
a
father.
I
have
seen
Shahrukh
and
Akshay
spending
time
with
their
children
though.
How
was
the
experience
of
working
again
in
a
multi-starrer
movie?
We
are
all
working
with
each
other
for
the
first
time.
So
we
came
to
know
each
other
on
the
sets.
We
would
like
to
work
together
in
some
other
film
in
the
future,
too.
The
40
days
that
we
spent
shooting
at
Sydney
would
be
a
cherished
memory
for
me.
What
would
you
like
to
say
about
the
actress,
Vidya
Balan?
She
is
not
only
a
promising
artiste
but
also
a
good
human
being
who
cares
for
everyone.
How
do
you
like
Sajid
Khan
as
a
director?
Sajid
is
really
an
excellent
director.
I
have
never
seen
him
disturbed
on
the
sets.
He
remembers
everything
regarding
the
film.
And
above
all,
he
has
designed
the
film
in
a
great
way.
We
also
came
to
know
that
you
were
very
touchy
during
the
climax
shots
of
the
film.
Yeah,
you
are
right.
The
scene
moved
me
so
much
that
my
eyes
were
moist
even
at
the
time
of
dubbing.
Actually,
I
cannot
control
my
tears
whenever
I
have
to
deal
with
a
touchy
subject.
I
have
seen
many
people
who
are
ashamed
of
crying
in
public.
But
I
don't
think
of
others
while
revealing
my
emotions.
Someone
told
us
that
you
work
really
hard
on
the
sets.
That's
what
I
can
do....
and
what
I'm
doing.
Once
a
shot
is
okayed,
it
becomes
past.
So
I
believe
one
must
give
his
hundred
per
cent
in
every
shot.
You
are
much
praised
for
your
comic
roles.
What
would
you
like
to
say?
I'm
happy
that
comedy
films
are
running
well
these
days.
As
far
as
my
presence
is
concerned,
I'm
really
motivated
that
all
my
films
have
done
well
at
the
box-office.
But,
at
the
same
time,
I
don't
believe
that
the
whole
credit
goes
to
me
only.
The
first
credit
must
go
to
the
film
and
the
director.
You
played
the
role
of
a
lady
in
the
film
Apna
Sapna
Money
Money.
Would
you
like
to
play
such
roles
again?
Of
course,
if
I
get
the
chance.
I
think
every
male
actor
must
play
the
role
of
a
woman
at
least
once
in
his
life.
Are
you
doing
any
film
with
Ramgopal
Verma?
Not
till
now.
But
we
will
be
seen
together
very
soon.
What
kind
of
hero
would
you
like
to
be
remembered
as?
It
would
be
too
early
to
answer
this
question.
I
don't
know
how
long
people
will
like
me,
remember
me.
At
the
same
time,
I
can't
say
that
I'll
stay
here
for
the
next
15
years.
I
believe
in
the
present,
and
not
in
the
future.
Tell
us
something
about
your
love
life.
Now,
why
do
you
want
to
know
that?
Love
has
many
facets
that
include
parents,
brother
and
sister
and
even
the
love
of
friends.
I
have
gone
through
every
emotion
just
like
any
other
normal
person.
But
the
love
you
want
to
know
about
will
take
a
little
while
more
to
happen.
Tell
us
about
your
forthcoming
films.
Among
my
forthcoming
films
are
Dhamaal,
De
Taali
and
more.
Dhamaal
will
make
you
laugh
from
the
time
you
take
your
seat
in
the
theatre
and
will
linger
on
till
you
reach
home.
I
have
Arshad
Warsi,
Ashish
Chowdhury,
Javed
Jafri
and
Sanjay
Dutt
with
me
in
that
film.
Whereas,
there
are
Aftaab
Shivdasani,
Rimi
Sen
and
Ayesha
Takia
working
with
me
in
De
Taali,
which
is
also
an
entertainer
like
Dhamaal.
Besides
these
two
films,
there
were
two
other
movies,
Loot
and
Saamna,
which
got
stalled
even
before
they
started
shooting.
