Kkraaaaaap...........!!!


Venue: Star Studios, Mumbai
Time: 10 AM

Host: And the time you all have been waiting for, meet the duo that has redefined the rules of bollywood, ushered a new era in indian cinema, stretched the boundaries of imagination...(still reading from a cue card)....the baap-beta from el-dorado...the Roshansssssssss....they are here to bare their hearts out in the "first ever" personal interview

Papa Roshan (P.R-Indeed): Hi there everyone!! its nice to meet you. Where's that son of mine?!! Haan, there he is...beta, apna tie straighten karo....say hullo to the nice man interviewing here..

Beta Roshan (B.R): Yes Papa! Hullo.....um...huh...Sir!!

Host: So, Hrithik! You must be happy by the response for Kkrish.

B.R (In a low tone): ummm...paaaaaaaaaapa.

P.R: Haan beta bolo, subah se jo pad raha the, sunaaoh

B.R (Clear his throat, confidently): Yeah man!! im so cool about the whole thing....Kkrish was a wonderful movie, it was the first time SFX were used in such a way. Im happy for its success. It cost us 45 crores to make...

P.R: cough.....cough....50!!

B.R (looking apologetic): he he he...yeah yeah 50 crores (gulps)

Host: Coming to the promotions, there have been allegations that u plugged all the news channels to give 24X7 coverage of your movie alone. Dont they go against the ethics of news reporting?

Papa Roach: Absolutely not, that is a ridiculous allegation. I only asked NDTV, Zee, BBC,CNN, and some hindi channels to run our news items for some private screenings of our movie. Where does the question of ethics come in. Nonsense. BTW, did u know we hired Tony from Hong Kong to choreograph our stunts?? He is the very same guy who did the stunts for Hero!! Do you know?

Host: heh heh...we do watch the news Mr. Roshan. Anyways, there is the allegation that you exploit your son by using him in all your films and not paying him. Forgive me if i am intruding, Sir...but is this true?

B.R (Baap Rey!!) (Angry and shouting): That is insane! My dad isnt using me at all....and as for payment, he recently raised my weekly allowance. He is the best dad in the world. He now lets me stay up till 11 pm!! How dare you?!

P.R (Again): Beta, never lose your temper. When u become big, ull realise that u shouldnt behave like that in public. Now, show these people the new dance step u've been practising...

B.R (Shyly): Papaaaa....! Ok...if u say (jumps on his feet, starts singing and dancing)
"....Aao sunaooh pyaar ki ek kahaani..!!"

P.R: Deko hostji, he's grown tremendously as an actor. He is started heading out in other avenues now. He's very inquisitive to learn new things. In my new film, he is taking care of all the catering...

Host(With raised eyebrows): No doubt about that! So, Hrithik, you seem to have made quite an impression on the youngsters. They perceive you as the new superman, the new macho man.You come across as a sophisticated, voluble and charming guy in the tabloids.

B.R(pleased, has an idiotic grin): yeah...ha ha ha....um...heh heh...huh..huh...oop..heh heh

P.R(rolling his eyes): Beta, he is talking to you..

B.R (wakes up, suddenly starts reciting the lines he's memorised since morning): Yeah, it was damn cold during the shoot, and frightening stunts....(scratches his head)...and...and...the use of pyrotechnics in this film has been unsurpassed.

Host(bewildered): what are u talking about?

P.R (closing his eyes): Betaaa...shut up please.

B.R (looking hurt): Yes papaa.

Host (embarassed): Thank you so much for being on the show. After all the marketing and hype around this movie, im sure people would love to watch this movie. Hope its a grand success. Bye!!
