an obstacle that comes in the way i would like to fight that obstacle and sometimes great brilliance comes out of that and as i talk i am reminded of an incident that may perhaps be able to explain to you what i am trying to sayplease continue i was shooting for main azaad hoon 1989 in pune it was the time when we were being accused of bofors 1987 and the whole nation was under the belief that we were traitors those were difficult times we could not step out of the house because we would get abused i used to get abused in the middle of the street if we were shooting on the roads the public would normally stop so as not to disrupt the shooting however if i was there people would shout abusive slogansyou also had a runin with a students union during main azaad hoon right i remember shooting a sequence in the theatre for azaad it is the scene where the protagonist is introduced and he has to give a long speech anyway we needed to fill up the hall with a crowd so the producer gave an ad in the paper asking people to come to the theatre the hall was full of akhil bhartiya vidyarthi parishad abvp union wing members whod come with a rebellious attitude they charged on to the stage and shouted rebellious slogans we had no police around because we were not aware that this would happen i just stood there and allowed them to do what they were doing and then the police came and they were sent out the atmosphere was tense my shot of the speech was to be done in 10 takes because it was a very large piece i told the director tinu anand and habib nadiadwala the producer and javed akhtar saab who was the writer that lets get on with it and i did that whole speech in one take purely as a sort of defiance to what i had just been through that is the kind of thing that i would probably do i would not take revenge on someone or something in public life you have to bear with these kinds of things so i dont say im going to show you i will just do my work but if there has been an obstacle i would want to overcome it by trying to do better than what i did earlier onyou went into semihibernation at one point around 1992yes i took this sabbatical looking back i feel it is something i should perhaps not have done at that point there were certain circumstances which led me to believe that it was okay for me to do something like that so i went ahead and did it basically we were trying to corporatise entertainment we had various meetings in the us and we came back and started out we got into trouble with abcl because we were not
