Actor and writer Gopal Datt joins Cine5 for a celebration of memorable firsts. 
The conversation begins with Gopal’s own new beginning hosting his first-ever podcast, Pehla Pehla With Gopal Datt before turning into a freewheeling countdown of unforgettable acting debuts and Bollywood launches. 

The gang revisits the frenzy around Hrithik Roshan in Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai, Amjad Khan’s Gabbar in Sholay, Ranveer Singh in Band Baaja Baaraat, Deepika Padukone in Om Shanti Om, Vidya Balan in Parineeta, Preity Zinta in Dil Se.., Vivek Oberoi in Company and more. 

They also debate the difference between a genuine debut and a star “launch”, why some actors feel completely formed from their first major film, and why a spectacular beginning doesn’t always guarantee a spectacular career. Plus: A.R. Rahman, Irrfan Khan, Imran Khan, Rahul Roy, Kumar Gaurav and a very special Himesh Reshammiya mention. Catch Cine5 and Pehla Pehla With Gopal Datt on IVM Pop.

Zakir Khan’s story is one that we all know - from Indore to Madison Square Garden, it’s an aspirational journey that many look up to. But with Pehla Pehla we dive deeper into things that lie underneath the achievements - a myriad of firsts that go beyond that 

In this episode Zakir talks about his connection to his childhood home, his relationship with music and what it was like growing up surrounded by it, the first brushes with comedy and failure, the low points that informed the successes, his evolution as a comedian. We even get to delve into the AIB connection he had with Gopal Datt and the unique equation that they share - having been good friends and constant collaborators on lauded projects. 

Zakir’s penchant for storytelling isn’t limited to the stage as he captures our attention with his trademark humour and knack for painting a picture - all the while dropping little nuggets of wisdom. With Pehla Pehla we get to dive into these talented brilliant people and the firsts in their journey so far - and starting the show with Zakir a pioneer of firsts, felt like the best way to kick things off
