Script for Chat Show

Selim: (Intro) Welcome to Saturdays With Selim, with your obvious host Selim! How is everyone doing? Great! I am obliged to introduce the special guest for Today: Shihab Malik!

* After we both sit down *

Selim: Hello, Shihab. It's so great to see you, how are you? I Haven't seen you for a long time. I'm fine thanks for asking.

Shihab: Hi, Selim. I'm great thanks.

Selim: Alright first question, So we know that your a famous Actor, and you've had successful movies in the past, breaking box office records, tell us whats the secret to being so successful?

Shihab: Well, i think that acting and being able to express opinions and emotions when you want, is a thing that requires talent, to be comfortable and relaxed while doing so.

Selim: So your telling me that i cant become a famous actor just like you? I have the 'moves' and cool things that you do from watching all your amazing Movies, where you always save the day, in a particular explosive fashion.

Shihab: That's why i make great movies, you are a big fan of me aren't you?

Selim: Yes, i watched nearly all of your movies.

Selim: Next Question, what is it like being a very successful actor? what are the bad sides to it, the negatives?

Shihab: Well, shooting a film is actually really stressful, we have to re-take and re-take over and over again until it's perfect or good enough for the director. Doing the same scene with the same lines and actions gets really annoying and boring.

Selim: i would of thought so, to create one episode for my other show, took so long, and we had to get it right 100% all the time.

Selim: So the social life part of it, it's really mixed as i can tell from the gossip and celebrity news.

Shihab: It's really mixed as you say, everyone wants to be famous and known, so everyone talks about you and people follow you and do everything you do, copy your haircut to just researching the clothes you wear, so that they can wear it as well. It makes you very influential, but there's a down side to that. You can't be what you want to do, always have to be on point, and not to mention the paparazzi, they are without a doubt one of the most annoying aspects of being a celebrity.

Selim: So, what is your favourite movie that you've made?

Shihab: It's got to be the Rogue-agent series, the actors i worked along with just made me happy, they were actually very nice people, we had to actually go to the locations, which meant that i actually got to travel and see different places. The director actually emphasised with all the actors and when a scene just wasn't going right, he would come over to me and ask if i was ok, it was a really friendly atmosphere, and i think that's why i won the award for my acting, i was relaxed and in my 'zone' it was comfortable and i was really close to the actors.

Selim: I think everyone can agree that the Rogue-Agent series were probably the best you've done, That fight scene where you bashed that guy's head in, and also I have to say, the car chase scene and the amazing stunt, That wasn't you was it?

Shihab: That's a industry secret.

*Audience laughs*

Selim: Next question, what is your plans for the future? i know about the next film, as we have a preview for the audience to look at, but after that, you have 2 oscar's and a history of really good films, what is the next step for that?

Shihab: I actually don't know, i like to live my life as it goes on, i'm not much of a planned out person. An offer comes through for a film, i want to produce good movies for people to watch, believable movies, taken inspiration from history or real events, that i'd be comfortable with acting in such a movie.

Selim: You have strong views on modern films, you keep going on about green-screen and CGI, 'IF' you do a movie with a green-screen and i find out, i will upload this episode of you bashing green-screen, and then we'll just have to wait it out, to see how many of your fans leave you

*Audience laughs*

Shihab: No, never, it just takes away the effort and determination everyone puts in, we're all just Funneled into a hot, boiling studio, and told to act as if we were around a building or park, i just want be able to actually go to those places.

Selim: So what's the theme of the 'future' movie your making that we stole a few scenes of?

Shihab: It's about betrayal, and making the wrong decisions in life, it's set in London, It's about friendships, and how one thing can go and create a chain of events that ultimately lead to the main character going down a path, not suited for him.

Selim: So, it's a break from all the constant action, and killing faceless henchmen is it? I think you've done so many movies like that, that it's impossible to think of you in a more slower paced, 'friendship' type of movie.

Shihab: Oh, no. you'll still get your violence, where i basically kill someone with a knife, but we haven't shot that scene yet, *audience moans* so you'll just have to see me grabbing the knife.

Selim: So whats the total body count? It's got to be double digits right?

Shihab: No,just about 3 or 4 people, like i said it's more about development of the characters and how they interlink and connect with each other.

Selim: I think we've kept the audience waiting for long enough, lets show what we've got.

* Show scenes from shihab's film*

Selim: Now, for a few fan's questions, they are literally blowing up my notifications on my phone, those of you that are watching at home, quickly send in your question to the #saturdayswithselim and i'll pick out your question, there's a lot coming through so don't get angry if i don't pick your one out!

Shihab: This should be good, they don't usually get to ask me these type of questions, so they'll probably ask me the most weird questions.

Selim: Okay, the first question from your fans is: What got you into acting? How did you go down that path?

Shihab: I always liked drama in school, which meant that i was one of the best in my class, my teacher pushed me to extreme limits and it paid off, then i worked in theatre's for a while and then i was approached after a show, and i was given a trial and then signed a contract with my first film.

Selim; The next one says: What is the most challenging role you've had to do?

Shihab: Probably, where i had to be the 'supposed' antagonist, about time paradox's and space travel, that movie's plot was so confusing, even i sometimes questioned my self as to what i was doing.

*Audience laughs *

Selim: This one says, When are you getting married? * Audience woos *

Shihab: Yes, i've recently got engaged * Crows goes wild *, and we're, i mean She's planning it all and its set to be this summer,

Selim: Congrats on that, but the real question is... am i invited to the wedding?

Selim: * Interrupts * Of course i am, thanks.

* Audience laughs *

Selim: It says: where will your honeymoon be? this is from the same person.

Shihab: Like i said she's planning everything, so i don't know but it's most probably going to be on a island where we can spent quality time together.

Selim: That's all we have time for, as always it's a pleasure to have you here Shihab, Ladies and Gentleman: Shihab Malik!

* Audience cheers *

Selim: Thank you for tuning into this episode of Saturdays with Selim, and we'll see you all next week.
