00:07So Simulacra originally comes from the book Simulacra and Simulation but the
00:12meaning of the word Simulacra means a copy without an original so it's a
00:20science fiction film so when you see the film the meaning of the word will
00:26make a lot more sense. It was something very different that I myself
00:34personally haven't seen and I myself as an audience would have loved to see and
00:39more than that it was what was written in the story and I was finding new
00:45challenges in this character as an actor so it helped me evolve as an actor it
00:54helped me see new things new perspectives and just improve my art and
00:59myself.
01:00It was very interesting again a new experience I got to learn a few things of
01:12our craft from him and it was a very collaborative process as co-actors and as
01:19a team as a whole because we went beyond just going there to work and working
01:26long hours. We stayed post work because it was so fun that we were off day and we
01:36literally showed up on set on our off day so it went beyond that so generally it was a
01:42very collaborative process and it became a family.
01:45Ma'am when you talk about sci-fi films there are many groups of sci-fi films which are being
01:49made in Bollywood
01:50especially in the industry.
01:52You tell us about the reason, what is your foundation, what do you do that a very group of sci
01:57-fi
01:57in one day. Do you think that the directors or the producers doesn't?
02:03I don't know it can be many reasons to be honest I can find many reasons and so can you
02:09so can a whole lot of other people but sometimes I guess it's just timing sometimes there's a time and
02:15place for things and for things to work out or not work out so I'm guessing now is the time
02:22where Indian science fiction films are coming into the light and finally I am glad that I get to live
02:28in that era where it's there.
02:30Ma'am is there a use of AI also in this world?
02:34That you'll have to see and you'll know.
02:37Ma'am but then in France there are now many people are using AI also, AI techniques also.
02:48Yeah actually you know what, is it good or bad?
02:52And see it really depends everything in moderations and responsibilities so it really depends on that because we also have
03:03to look out for the human race and AI is fairly new so we're all just also somewhere trying to
03:10figure it out understand my suggestion of how I would live my life and I would rather focus on that
03:17just be responsible which I'm trying to do and just find the right balance.
03:31That only time will tell.
