00:00It was a memorable moment for you and Johnny.
00:04After the last shot, we all hit on the same thing.
00:09When we hit on the same thing in the same intensity, it was very magical.
00:18It was a different experience to stay in a character for a long time.
00:23How was that for you?
00:24We knew what we did in the first half.
00:27It was like an extension.
00:29Now you are an adult.
00:31In the story, everything was there.
00:36In an interview with Shankar sir, he said that he was in the top 5.
00:42How did you feel when you heard that?
00:44I said that in a normal radio interview.
00:47I didn't exaggerate.
00:49I just said what I was doing as a matter of fact.
00:53That has reached him.
00:56When I said that, it reached a lot of people.
00:59There is a film called Minmini.
01:01That is a happy thing.
01:03It was a big dream for me.
01:05I did everything for this.
01:07When I was doing each film, I used to think.
01:10When Silukkarapudi came, I thought that we have an audience for Minmini.
01:15I was watching each film based on this.
01:20They have a passion.
01:22That is why it is a given take.
01:25They did a sincere performance.
01:28That is why I wanted to do it with them.
01:30I wanted to do it with them.
01:32That is why they took it from me.
01:34It radiated and they gave a sincere performance.
01:40We could have done fresh stories.
01:42We could have gone with a trend.
01:45I think it is a big thing that so many people believe in the same story.
01:54Welcome to One India Film Week Tamil Nadu.
01:56In today's cinema special interview,
01:58we have the team of Minmini.
02:00How are you?
02:02I am fine.
02:04Your film is everyone's favourite.
02:07All your films are feel good movies.
02:10When I saw the trailer, it was a little different.
02:13When I came out of the trailer,
02:15I came out with a lot of heart feelings.
02:17The trailer was full of music.
02:20What is the reason for that?
02:24I don't get bored with the same things.
02:30This film will be different.
02:33It will give you a bittersweet experience.
02:39It will feel like you are going from here to there.
02:44It will feel like you are going on a journey.
02:47It will be about whether you should reach there or not.
02:50All three of you have played characters from a young age.
02:55You have also played characters after you grew up.
02:58It is a different experience to stay in a character for a long time.
03:03How was that for you?
03:05I didn't have two characteristics.
03:07When I was growing up,
03:09I didn't want to make big changes.
03:12I didn't want it to be over the top.
03:14I wanted it to be subtle.
03:16We didn't stay with the same character.
03:20We had a break.
03:22We shot after six years.
03:27So, we didn't stay with the same character.
03:30But when we shot,
03:32we had to add the nuances.
03:35We had to take input.
03:38So, there were no big changes.
03:42What about you?
03:47It wasn't stuck.
03:49When we shot the first half,
03:51we didn't know if we were going to do the second part.
03:59It was in the back of my mind.
04:01Someday, we are going to do the second part as well.
04:07Even though the break was there,
04:09when we started again,
04:11it felt very normal and organic.
04:14It happened just like that.
04:16We knew what we did in the first half.
04:18It was like an extension.
04:20Now you are an adult.
04:22Everything was there in the script.
04:25We could just read through it.
04:27Even if we went scene by scene,
04:29we had the proper idea as to what we had to do.
04:32What about you, sir?
04:34I don't have anything new to say.
04:36After shooting the first half,
04:38we went back to school normally.
04:40When I was a kid,
04:42I went to school normally.
04:44But whenever people around us
04:46say something,
04:48we remember it.
04:50Even if we don't,
04:52our characters are unforgettable.
04:55It's always in the back of our mind.
04:58When the director is there,
05:00we don't have to do anything.
05:02They make us do what they want.
05:04Once it's there,
05:06it's just like that.
05:10Even though there was a gap
05:12of 8 years in the film,
05:14as a director,
05:16how was your travel?
05:20How do I say this?
05:22We shot the first half and locked it.
05:24After that,
05:28it's not a big deal to go back.
05:32I'm happy that it was possible.
05:34When I see them again,
05:38when I see them in their hometown
05:40just before the shoot,
05:42we don't see them in that look.
05:44He's a student.
05:46He'll be in a different look.
05:48His character is different.
05:50So, he'll be in a different look.
05:52We keep imagining him.
05:54We keep imagining
05:56his character.
05:58Finally,
06:00when we go there and
06:02set the hair and costumes,
06:04and do the performance,
06:06that happiness will be great.
06:10In the last shot,
06:12we talked about how it was.
06:14But for me,
06:16when I went there for the first time,
06:18I was very emotional.
06:20It happened.
06:22I was very happy.
06:24When I see them in their character,
06:26after so many years,
06:28it was a big dream for me.
06:30I did everything for this.
06:32When I did each film,
06:34I used to think,
06:36when Sillu Karuppedi came,
06:38we would have a small audience.
06:40I used to look at each film
06:42with this in mind.
06:46You can't imagine
06:48how special it would have been.
06:50This film is a big success
06:52for me.
06:56Coming to the theatre
06:58is not a reality for me.
07:02When you work with them,
07:04who are the people
07:06who make you feel naughty?
07:12There are no children.
07:14When there are children,
07:16we get distracted.
07:18We get distracted.
07:20We get distracted.
07:22We get distracted.
07:26We are adults.
07:28We all have responsibilities.
07:30Our children know
07:32how much I love them
07:34and make films for them.
07:36They know that
07:38this film is for them.
07:40They never took it for granted.
07:42They know their value.
07:44They have a passion for it.
07:46It is a given.
07:48It is because of their
07:50sincere performance
07:52that I want to work with them.
07:54It is because I want to work with them
07:56that they took it from me
07:58and gave it to me.
08:00You said that
08:02they will get you
08:04what you need.
08:06What is their style of working?
08:08What do they expect?
08:10Do they have to be in the same
08:12sync?
08:14We don't have to be in the same sync.
08:16When we were very young,
08:18we started working with them.
08:20When I travel,
08:22I know the annual delay
08:24from 5th to 6th.
08:26I know them
08:28from 6th to 7th.
08:30I have known them
08:32from a very young age.
08:34What is their name?
08:36I have known them
08:38since then.
08:40They are like my family.
08:42We meet my family
08:44frequently.
08:46We also meet them sometimes.
08:48That's the difference.
08:50What is a memorable
08:52moment for you all?
08:54I can't explain.
08:56We had to shoot a specific scene
08:58and we needed snow.
09:02To summarize the whole thing,
09:04that day,
09:06the exact amount of snow
09:08that is required for the scene,
09:10I got it.
09:12It was like magic.
09:14I was very touched by that.
09:16I have worked in a couple of movies.
09:18I have been in the industry
09:20for some years now.
09:22But I have never felt that
09:24in my entire life.
09:26I know what is the high too.
09:28I didn't experience that.
09:30I started telling my friends
09:32and my family.
09:34I got a new feeling.
09:36Like I said,
09:38I got a full set up.
09:40I was very grateful for that one moment.
09:44What is a memorable moment for you?
09:46For me, the final shot was memorable.
09:48We got emotional
09:50after shooting that.
09:52It was such a big process.
09:54We were like,
09:56the journey is over.
09:58It was emotional.
10:02What is a memorable moment
10:04for you in that journey?
10:06For me,
10:08whatever it is,
10:10the final shot,
10:12everyone gets hit by the same thing.
10:14The actors,
10:16everyone gets hit
10:18by the same thing
10:20with the same intensity.
10:22It was very magical.
10:24The continuity
10:26is also very memorable.
10:28When I returned to Chennai
10:30with Esther,
10:32what Esther told me was very memorable.
10:34Because,
10:36when a film is over,
10:38we don't know what to do
10:40with the actors.
10:42For example,
10:44when I worked with Sunaina ma'am
10:46in Hey Ammo,
10:48it was very hectic.
10:50A lot of scenes were edited
10:52from that sequence.
10:54It was very lengthy.
10:56We shot it in 6 days.
11:00There was no space to talk.
11:02It was very hectic.
11:04After the shoot,
11:06I didn't even go home.
11:08I would be late to go home.
11:10She went to her room
11:12and tweeted
11:14about me.
11:16She tweeted,
11:18a genius film maker.
11:20That was very rewarding.
11:22We had worked.
11:24The actors were
11:26looking at us like this.
11:28When I thought about it,
11:30I was very happy.
11:32That was the first reward
11:34I got.
11:36Similarly,
11:38Niveditha told me,
11:40the way you made me stand
11:42in the scene,
11:44no one has done that to me.
11:46The input you give me
11:48is very high.
11:50Manikandan too.
11:52When we hear from the actors,
11:54it is very special.
11:56Similarly,
11:58after this film,
12:00Esther told me
12:02something on the flight.
12:04What she went through
12:06as a collective,
12:08how much this film means to her.
12:10That was very heartfelt.
12:12What is the memorable moment
12:14for you?
12:16I can't say it was memorable
12:18during the shoot.
12:20Before the shoot,
12:22there was a small jump
12:24sequence in the film.
12:26To prepare for that,
12:28before the first half shoot,
12:30a month or so ago,
12:32two stuntmen came and
12:34trained me.
12:36I was expecting a parkour
12:38set up.
12:40They made me do
12:42a lot of things.
12:44They told me to stand on my head,
12:46hold my hands,
12:48and they recorded it.
12:50It didn't come out properly.
12:52They told me to go to the parkour set up
12:54and try it on the ground.
12:56It came to a certain level.
12:58They recorded it and sent it to the ma'am.
13:00She said,
13:02what did they do to you?
13:04She followed it up.
13:06That's what I felt
13:08when you asked me.
13:10You mentioned
13:12during the press meet
13:14that Shankar sir
13:16was one of the top 5
13:18expected films.
13:20How did you feel when you heard that?
13:22I was surprised
13:24at that time.
13:26I said it in a normal radio interview.
13:28I didn't say it in a big way.
13:30I just said it as a matter of fact.
13:32I said what I was doing.
13:34That reached him.
13:36Because he said it,
13:38it reached a lot of people.
13:40There is a film called
13:42Minmini.
13:44That was a happy thing.
13:46When I saw the trailer,
13:48we saw a lot of you
13:50riding a bike.
13:52How was it
13:54riding in a mountainous area?
13:56It was fun.
13:58But also
14:00a little scary and nervous at times.
14:02But we had taken proper training
14:04before that.
14:06My main issue was the bike.
14:08It's a Royal Enfield.
14:10It's a little difficult.
14:12The weight and the height and everything.
14:14But we managed somehow.
14:16Now that I go back in time,
14:18that is when I remember,
14:20there was this one scene.
14:22I was taking montages.
14:24Both of us were riding
14:26on the road.
14:28When I saw the visuals,
14:30it was very good.
14:32How to say it?
14:34It was beautiful.
14:36I got a little overconfident.
14:38I was riding
14:40and I slipped while doing it.
14:42And after
14:44completing that shot,
14:46I thought it was a very dangerous thing to do.
14:48I could have just died also.
14:50The camera
14:52vehicle was travelling in front of us.
14:54I could see the camera assistant
14:56going like this.
14:58But somehow it managed.
15:00The shot came out well.
15:02But I got a little overconfident.
15:08I thought you were going to say something else.
15:10Towards the end,
15:12it was very slippery.
15:14After that,
15:16they were very confident.
15:18They were riding very well.
15:20At the beginning, it was a little difficult.
15:22After that, how to handle it,
15:24I got a lot of confidence.
15:26Then I saw that it was very slippery.
15:28Normally, the people riding there
15:30would fall down.
15:32It was not like that in Gurumurthy.
15:34Even there, the locals
15:36would fall down.
15:38They were riding very confidently.
15:40It was very slippery.
15:42That's what they said.
15:44If we had carried on
15:46and thought we were riding well,
15:48there was a good chance of falling down.
15:50Because it was snowing
15:52after a couple of days.
15:54In the final days,
15:56we were riding on the ice.
15:58That's why I felt it was very dangerous.
16:00Esther ma'am said
16:02that she experienced a bike accident
16:04at the shooting spot.
16:06Can you tell us about the incidents
16:08that took place at the shooting spot?
16:10There was an assistant director
16:12by the name of Seetho.
16:14What he did was...
16:16There was a shot where
16:18we said we wanted snow.
16:20It snowed a lot.
16:22We were under a lot of time restrictions.
16:24If we went beyond that,
16:26it would be very difficult for us to go.
16:28The roads would be covered in snow.
16:30What he did was...
16:32He went without informing anyone.
16:34He couldn't pick up his phone.
16:36We didn't know where he went.
16:38In the end, he got lost
16:40and was caught by the military.
16:42We were very worried.
16:44That's when we saw him.
16:46The cameraman,
16:48the producer,
16:50told us that he was caught
16:52by the military.
16:54That day...
16:56We would have been sitting
16:58and talking like this.
17:00But the area we shot
17:02didn't have a signal.
17:04There were no lights.
17:06We were restricted.
17:08Everything was closed after 2 p.m.
17:10There were no people there.
17:12We didn't know
17:14what kind of animals were there.
17:16When we were like this,
17:18there was an army camp at a midpoint.
17:20They locked it up.
17:22We were the only crew there.
17:24The crew had security.
17:26We came down from there.
17:28There was no one in the house.
17:30When we were like this,
17:32there was a guy
17:34in the middle of the midpoint.
17:36He was in our team.
17:38We had a property in the middle.
17:40They had gone to take
17:42a continuity property.
17:44After that...
17:46That's all we knew.
17:48It was a very crucial scene.
17:50We didn't even know
17:52how far the snow had come.
17:54We were shooting
17:56inside a cave.
17:58When we came out,
18:00we were shocked.
18:02That's how it was.
18:04They told me,
18:06they usually say
18:08that the property is missing.
18:10I was like,
18:12Seetho is missing.
18:14I was like,
18:16I didn't know
18:18what to do.
18:20I was so tense.
18:22When we were in the car,
18:24the headlights were on
18:26and it was snowing.
18:28We were walking very slowly.
18:30Manoj sir told us
18:32that the army would have caught us.
18:34But we didn't believe him.
18:36So, we had to walk slowly.
18:38When we reached the camp,
18:40we had to make a sound
18:42as soon as we reached the camp.
18:44We had to make a sound
18:46as soon as we reached the camp.
18:48He was wearing a jacket
18:50and walking slowly.
18:52I was like,
18:54I was so nervous.
18:56He was like,
18:58What happened?
19:00I was like,
19:02I can't do this.
19:06You said in the press meet
19:08that when you were shooting
19:10in Ladakh,
19:12you had to take the people
19:14who were there with you.
19:16You had to take the people
19:18who were there with you.
19:20How was it
19:22to have a sync with them?
19:24I was like,
19:26I was like,
19:28I had to make local actors
19:30act.
19:34I stayed there.
19:36I was like,

22:38There were so many things
22:40Like I said, I was also young.
22:42So I used to go around
22:44Everyone spoke to me a lot
22:46It was a little like mischievous
22:48even a bit
22:50and
22:52Something I remember is that
22:54Kamal uncle he
22:56has a certain diet
22:58Everybody, his own team
23:00will come. So he'll have
23:02a separate set of snacks and all that
23:04It is very exciting to see
23:06It's not like fries or oily food
23:10I never go near him and he eats
23:13Because he specifically calls me and makes me sit near him and eat them
23:18Like capsicum and all, I used to hate it at that point
23:21Stuffed capsicum, boiled vegetables
23:25He'll be like, this is good for your nose, this is good for your eyes
23:29He'll make me eat those things
23:31So that was one memorable thing
23:34I have a small segment for you
23:37I'll tell you two movies, which one is your favorite?
23:43Poovai Unakaga or Mounaragam?
23:46Mounaragam
23:47Mounaragam or Ritham?
23:49Mounaragam
23:50Mounaragam or Moli?
23:53Moli? Mounaragam
23:55Mounaragam or Oh My Kadavule?
23:57Mounaragam
23:59Mounaragam or Good Night?
24:01I haven't seen Good Night, Mounaragam
24:03Mounaragam
24:04Mounaragam or Kaadhalum Kadandhu Pogum?
24:06Mounaragam
24:08It's a tough one
24:10It's hard to compare
24:14Why do you like Mounaragam so much?
24:17It's not like that
24:19I'm not a hardcore fan of Mounaragam
24:24When you compare it, it's like a classic
24:28You've easily finished the segment
24:32You've shared a lot about Minmini
24:35From the shooting spot to the bike scene
24:38You've shared a lot about what happened there
24:40To celebrate the success of Minmini,
24:42Congratulations to One India and Filmmi with Tamil
