I didn't know that Chauhan

sir had a sense of humour.

Quiet! He only know how to talk.

I thought that he will study

and make the family proud.

I spend my entire

life amidst books...

...and he keeps selling

those books to watch films.

Papa, my life can be made

because of these films...

...look I got an

audition call from Mumbai.

You will not go for Mumbai

- Mother.

Neither will mother go,

nor me or an empty vessel.

You bring me tea.

Look Armaan sir, when

the person is nice...

...then no field of work is bad.

People spend their entire lifetime...

...but they don't know what to do.

Your son as a hobby of

acting since childhood.

He wants to be a hero.

According to me, he

should get one chance.

My heart doesn't agree, Siddhu sir.

Then we will have to settle this

with arm-wrestling like always.

Think about it, I have

been working out again.

But I will have to take a chance.

I see.

Mr. Armaan, if I win then

you will let him go to Mumbai.

And if I lose, then

you won't stop him.

Okay... just a minute.

Great Siddhu sir, heads I

lose and tails I lose too.

Okay, if I lose then he will not

go to Mumbai. - okay - lets go.

See, how much your father loves you.

He purposely lost so

that you can go to Mumbai.

You are simply great Siddhu sir.

Come on, embrace me.

Go to Mumbai, earn lots of fame.

Ashfaaq.

Take me along to Mumbai too.

Why, do you want to

become a star too?

Papa has started

looking for a groom for me.

That's why I thought that I

will go to Mumbai along with you.

There we can get

married in the court.

Then we can tell papa that

you have got a good job.

After sometime papa's

anger will calm down.

Sneha, lying just for fun is fine...

...but I don't want to achieve

anything in life with a lie.

I adore you.

Can I ask you something?

If you have to choose

between me and your acting career...

...then whom will you choose?

I will choose acting.

I am sorry, but I cannot lie to you.

I liked it that you spoke the truth.

But, the truth is that I love you a

lot, and I don't want to lose you.

Now that you are going, return

only when you are well established...

...only then will I be proud of you.

Even though I lose you, I

want to see you very successful.

Mr. Ganpat Rao, listen to me.

That's enough! Take this.

What are you doing Mr.

Ganpat Rao, don't do that.

For the past 6 months

you haven't paid anything...

...neither the rent nor for the food.

Haven't I given you all this before?

That's why I am

returning you your luggage.

I will pay you soon, I am

going to get work soon...

...many big

directors have promised me.

Then go and live in their house.

Mr. Ganpat Rao, have some mercy...

...where will I go,

please have mercy please.

Wait, I will have mercy on you.

Thank you Mr. Ganpat Rao.

Your children will prosper. This

lodge will turn into a 5 star hotel.

Whenever...

- Here, this is free from me...

...whenever you feel like

becoming a hero, then look in this.

Get lost!

I have a lot of respect for

theatre actors in my heart, Ashfaaq.

And especially, I am very

well versed with Siddhu sir.

He is a very dedicated

theatre activist.

I have seen a lot of his plays.

I act in same theatre group...

Who is this man?

Sir he is my friend Arvind.

I was searching foran

actor like him for my film.

I had seen his performance,

he is a fantastic actor.

Can he be contacted?

Ashfaaq there is hope of

getting work after so much struggle!

If you want to act in a film

then now you have to become villain!

Yes sir, no sir.

What do you mean?

- Fantastic actor, yes sir.

Can he be contacted, no sir.

What do you mean? He has shifted.

Yes sir.

No problem, I will bring him back.

I had brought an actor from Poland.

He has shifter

further than that sir.

No problem, wherever

he must have shifted...

...I will go and bring

him back, you just see.

Yes sir, no sir.

What do you mean?

You can go but you will

not be able to come back.

What do you mean?

Sir, he has gone to heaven.

What? You mean to say he is dead.

- Yes sir.

How?

One day he was returning on

his cycle after the rehearsals...

...and a truck full of iron

rods was in front of him.

Enough, enough, enough.

And the truck stopped suddenly,

and he went in the rods.

I understood... I understood,

there is no need to say anymore.

Sir, one rod went in

here and the other in here.

Please Ashfaaq, I

am a heart patient.

Sir, one rod went in the heart too.

Hey, please don't say further.

Please, you've given me a bad news.

My film will be in problem.

There won't be any

problem sir. I am there...

Sir Siddhu sir used to say

that I am a better actor than him.

Really.

- He used to say that himself.

Really.

- He had only one wish.

What?

- To see me on the big screen.

If I get a chance, then

his soul will find solace.

Okay, okay.

Bobby.

- Yes sir.

Take his audition.

- Okay sir.

Thank you sir, thank you.

- Bless you.

I... I cannot express it in words.

I knew it; he will

surely do something in life.

He is very capable.

You must be very happy today,

Sameer Khan is being launched.

Who is Sameer Khan?

- The hero of the film.

No, no my son Ashfaaq

Ullah Khan is being launched.

Ashfaaq, who is this Sameer Khan?

Is he being launched too?

It is my name.

You changed your name!

What happened?

See this. - The producer sir said

that Ashfaaq seems old that why...

Ashfaaq Ullah Khan was

such a big freedom fighter.

He changed his name.

No, no you will have to

change your name again.

Why are you troubling your son,

today is the first take...

...of his first film. Let

him do his work. Go, dear.

He has changed his name, who

knows what else he will change.

He will be very famous.

Who are you?

- Who are you? - Yes, who are you?

I am your secretary, Narayan.

My secretary?

- Yes.

One minute. Give a bouquet to mummy,

The star is here. Yes.

Sir, smile please.

The camera is on

that side. Mummy, papa.

Congratulations.

- You have come... - Papa.

That's okay.

- Be happy.

See Chauhan sir, I

have become a hero.

There is still time son,

...then let it get released...

- We have come to congratulate him.

Yes papa.

Bring the garland. He is a hero now.

Ashfaaq Ullah!

- Hail!

Ashfaaq Ullah!

- Hail!

- He is not.

He has changed his

name to Sameer Khan.

Whether he is Sameer or Khameer,

what difference does it make!

He will still be the same for us.

Will you change, won't you?

No guru, I won't change.

Come on, son.

First take of 'Aazadi',

all the best.
