He
ends
his
media
briefing
by
saying,
"Sharafat
Gayi
Tel
Lene",
and
that
my
lovely
readers
aren't
what
he
meant.
That's
Zayed
Khan's
next
release
after
Blue.
The
actor
looked
all
red
and
pink
jumping
up
and
down,
doing
mad
stunts
on
the
trampoline
while
filming
for
the
title
track
of
Blue
at
Film
City.
He
has
been
slated
of
not
being
the
most
talented
of
actors
by
some
critics
but
there
is
something
special
about
this
'Khan'.
In
his
purple
tee
and
a
sleeveless
yellow
hooded
jumper,
the
actor's
Popeye
type
muscles
are
evidence
that
he
is
pushing
himself
for
a
role
of
a
lifetime.
After
his
only
super
successful
film
Main
Hoon
Na,
Blue
might
just
be
his
lucky
colour
this
October.
This
correspondent
discovered
a
man
with
oodles
of
charm
and
likeability
that
go
some
way
to
explaining
the
phenomenal
success
of
this
rather
private
and
enigmatic
cinematic
curio.
The
title
track
of
Blue
had
to
be
your
solo
performance.
Is
that
true?
Not
at
all.
These
are
just
rumours
going
around.
This
film
is
an
entire
team
performance.
I
don't
think
without
any
one
of
us,
this
film
would've
been
complete.
Blue
is
a
first
of
its
kind
in
Indian
cinema.
It's
historical
in
nature
and
it's
a
kind
of
film
India
always
wanted
to
prove
to
the
rest
of
the
world,
that
our
cinema
is
up
there
too.
It's
a
big
milestone.
Blue
title
track
is
one
of
the
most
talked
about
themes.
Yes
it
is.
I'm
glad
it
is.
Blue
theme
is
the
soul
of
the
film.
It's
what
we
call
the
heart
of
the
film.
It
gives
you
the
pace
and
the
rhythm
the
film
has
chosen
to
adapt
to.
It's
always
nice
to
have
a
theme
song
where
everybody
is
coming
together
to
create
the
excitement
and
the
buzz
for
the
film.
I
don't
know
if
Blue
needs
any
more
buzz
than
it
has
already
got.
It's
one
of
those
fortunate
films
that
have
been
very
well
received
by
the
audiences
so
far
and
I
hope
the
songs
pep
people
up
and
get
them
more
excited
about
the
film
than
they
already
are.
How
difficult
and
easy
was
it
to
do
stunts
with
Akshay
Kumar?
Akshay
has
been
tremendously
supportive.
You
can't
really
argue
with
Akshay
when
it
comes
to
action.
He
is
one
of
the
best
in
the
business.
He
is
mentally
and
physically
fit.
That
all
translates
into
how
he
does
his
stunts.
Akshay
wasn't
fearful
of
doing
anything
for
the
first
time.
Akshay
swims
like
a
fish
but
it's
good
I
gave
him
a
little
bit
of
competition
underwater
(laughs).
So
who
was
the
surprise
package
of
the
film?
It
had
to
be
Lara
Dutta.
She
did
not
know
how
to
swim.
The
way
she
took
her
lessons
and
the
way
she
changed
the
entire
cast
and
crew's
perception
towards
her
was
unbelievable.
She
worked
out
mad
and
looked
slimmer
than
ever.
She
is
a
treat
to
watch
out
for
in
Blue.
You
are
producers'
first
choice
when
it
comes
to
big
budget
cinema.
Well,
call
it
my
fortune.
I
love
action
flicks.
Blue
is
one
such
film
that
is
expensive
because
of
its
action.
As
a
kid,
I
always
wanted
to
see
action
movies
and
then
dream
of
being
a
part
of
them.
I
just
couldn't
have
said
'No'
to
the
film
because
the
film
is
outstanding
in
its
writing
and
vision.
Anthony
has
done
his
homework
so
well
that
you
just
can't
ignore
to
be
a
part
of
Blue.
Did
you
have
any
doubts
of
shooting
some
scenes
because
of
the
risk
of
getting
killed
by
the
sharks?
Not
until
the
time
we
actually
had
our
first
shark
dive.
I've
been
a
scuba
diver
since
I
was
fifteen.
It's
always
been
the
deep
sea
coral
diving
for
me.
Sharks?
I
was
like,
get
real!
We
had
a
very
good
team
of
divers
who
understood
the
nature
of
these
sharks.
The
way
they
spoke
to
us
was
like
we
had
to
stroll
in
a
park.
The
first
dive
was
scary
but
by
the
end
of
the
thirty
day
diving
experience,
we
turned
a
blind
eye
to
the
sharks.
Swimming
with
the
sharks
was
like
a
sense
of
achievement.
Who
came
across
as
the
best
and
the
worst
from
all
the
cast?
(Laughs)
Now
you
need
to
ask
Anthony
about
this.
But
I
guess,
the
cast
was
taken
bearing
in
mind
that
we
all
were
fearless.
We
all
were
game
for
things,
anything.
But
the
rightful
owner
of
this
answer
has
to
be
my
director.
When
your
film
Cash
released,
content
took
a
back
seat
and
the
film
came
down
like
nine
pins
in
a
row.
Do
you
feel
that
the
action,
choreography
and
technicalities
of
such
action
adventure
capers
somehow
neglect
the
content?
I
agree
with
you
that
sometimes
people
shy
away
from
content
in
order
to
give
a
big
and
a
larger
picture
of
things.
But
you
see,
honestly,
half
the
content
of
such
films
lie
in
its
thrills.
Giving
people
an
adventure
action
caper
the
content
resides
in
how
many
thrills
you
create,
how
many
twists
and
turns
you
create,
how
many
freaky
stunts
you
do,
etc.
But
at
the
same
time,
there
should
be
a
good
story
line
to
back
it
all
up.
There
was
a
time
in
2006
and
2007
when
producers
would
announce
films
worth
Rs.100
crores
and
corrupt
their
films.
They
used
to
say,
'Let's
not
write
a
dialogue,
let's
go
and
shoot
in
Australia,
let's
not
do
a
good
scene
and
waste
more
money
in
New
York.' As
for
Blue,
it
has
got
a
very
sensitive
story
line.
Blue
will
surprise
one
and
all.
