00:00Hari, I've been wanting to ask you a question for a long time.
00:03It's okay if you think it's wrong.
00:05I heard that you're not invited to any of the Parvathy Shah's movies.
00:08You don't have that much acting experience.
00:12I mean, seriously.
00:13The industry is talking about you.
00:14I don't know what you're talking about.
00:15Because you're constantly seen in Madras Parvathy.
00:17You're only seen in Ranjith Agarwal's movies.
00:19Bro, the question you're asking is really stupid.
00:21What's wrong with you?
00:22No, it's true.
00:23How can you say this is stupid?
00:27No, I don't understand.
00:28I don't understand.
00:29You're talking as if you're talking about Kalamji.
00:32I don't know what you're talking about.
00:34Why are you pointing it out?
00:37It's really wrong, right?
00:38No, bro. No one else has said this to you.
00:40Am I the only one saying this?
00:41Yes, you're the only one saying this.
00:43Vettri sir has worked with you.
00:45He's already broken that.
00:47He's already broken that ideology.
00:48Didn't you raise that idea?
00:49That you're only seen in Ranjith Agarwal's movies.
00:51Bro, no one else has said this to me.
00:53How can you say this?
00:54No, the industry is talking about you.
00:57Why are you pointing it out?
00:58Are you afraid of him?
01:27How are you?
01:28I'm fine.
01:30You look very tired.
01:31No, I'm not.
01:32No?
01:33You look very tired.
01:34Do you know how to throw Max Perry in school in the morning?
01:37No, I don't.
01:38I think it's because I ate.
01:40So, you know a lot about each other.
01:42Preethi, you joined Ranjith Agarwal's team for the first time.
01:46How was the experience?
01:48Tell us about it.
01:49Did they rag you?
01:51Ragging?
01:52It wasn't that bad.
01:53It was in college.
01:55Actually, I knew Ranjith Agarwal before I got on board.
01:59I've known him for a few years.
02:01He came to my theatre plays.
02:03I knew him through that network.
02:06After that, they asked me to meet him for a project.
02:09So, I personally met him.
02:13After that, I'm on board here now.
02:17They didn't rag me.
02:19Very sweet people.
02:21Ranjith Agarwal's entire set...
02:26The entire set is very fun.
02:28Everybody.
02:29From ADs to background artists.
02:33All the technicians.
02:39We bonded well.
02:41The set itself is a lot of fun.
02:43We have a lot of fun in the morning.
02:46So much of laughter.
02:48So much of jokes.
02:49So much of work.
02:51All together, it's such a great team.
02:54Let's ask another question.
02:57Hari, I've wanted to ask you something for a long time.
03:00It's okay if you think I'm wrong.
03:02I'll ask.
03:03They don't call you any other actor other than Paranjith sir.
03:07You don't have that much acting experience.
03:10I've heard that you only trust Ranjith sir.
03:13How true is that?
03:14I don't know.
03:15I think you're making fun of me.
03:16Seriously, people in the industry are talking about this.
03:19I don't know.
03:20We're seeing you in Madras.
03:22You're only showing up in Ranjith Agarwal's films.
03:25The question you're asking is very stupid.
03:28How can you say that this is stupid?
03:33Other than Ranjith sir's films...
03:35They say, Hari has done this film.
03:37How can we take it so suddenly?
03:41I don't understand.
03:43I don't know why you're talking like this.
03:46I don't know why you're talking like this.
03:48We came here to talk.
03:50Why are you pointing fingers at me?
03:53That's wrong.
03:54Why didn't you think of it?
03:56No one else said this.
03:58I'm the only one saying this.
03:59Yes, you're the only one saying this.
04:00No one else said this.
04:02No one else said this.
04:03Didn't you raise the issue?
04:05We're acting only because of Ranjith sir's films.
04:07No one else said this.
04:08How can you...
04:09People in the industry are talking about this.
04:11Why are you pointing fingers at me?
04:13Are you afraid of him?
04:15He's a prankster.
04:17He's asking because he's a prankster.
04:20He found out.
04:21No, he's talking outside.
04:22He found out.
04:23That's why our team...
04:25Our team...
04:27I thought I'd talk if you gave me some space.
04:30I missed it.
04:32It's nothing like that.
04:34If there's an opinion on an artist...
04:36It's not the artist who should break it.
04:38It's the industry.
04:41A director has worked with Vetri sir.
04:46He's already broken that.
04:48He's broken that ideology.
04:49Not just him.
04:50Anybody for that fact.
04:51I'm not asking if you'll work with them.
04:54It needs to be broken by the industry people themselves.
04:58If an artist has the potential...
05:00If they cast him in my film...
05:02It's great.
05:03I won't cast them.
05:05If they work in their films...
05:08I think it's a small mentality.
05:13You're right.
05:14Why did you say that?
05:15I could have let you talk for a while.
05:17No, it's great.
05:18The point you're making is great.
05:20Yes, it's great.
05:26I'm a bit tensed.
05:29Type casting is very...
05:31It's the most common word spoken in the industry today.
05:34But you can't help.
05:36They'll definitely do type casting.
05:38But if the artists and industry people want to break that...
05:42If they don't want to work with them...
05:44I don't think they are...
05:46It's their own opinion.
05:48It should be broken.
05:50If they're doing the same set of films...
05:53I don't want to call them back.
05:55The creator would call the same person for something else.
05:58That's where it gets broken.
06:00It kind of pissed me off.
06:05He's acting a lot.
06:07I know that. It's a prank.
06:09He's acting a lot.
06:11I saw him fighting yesterday.
06:13Did he get scared?
06:15It's you!
06:19You saw how sharp he was.
06:23I couldn't do anything.
06:28Arjun, you gave a good performance in the last film I saw.
06:33It's a small film.
06:35You must have gotten a full meal.
06:37It was a good full meal.
06:40We ate a lot.
06:42A lot of honey, a lot of acting...
06:45A lot of people came here to learn cinema.
06:48It was a space to learn cinema.
06:52I could see Ranjith's direction.
06:54I could see how he stages a scene.
06:56I could see how he gets acting from actors.
06:58Vikram sir, Parvathy ma'am, Pasupathy brother...
07:01I could see how he gets it from all of them.
07:03I could see how Kishore brother frames it.
07:05I could see how Robin handles it.
07:07I could see the trailer.
07:09I could see the editing cuts.
07:11I could see how they cut a scene and give it to the audience.
07:15Not just acting...
07:17I had a lot of experience as a cinema learner.
07:21Did you hesitate when you were acting in such a big project?
07:24Because you were heard to be an important character.
07:26There was a fear at first.
07:28Vikram sir's son and Parvathy ma'am's son...
07:32They were both experienced artists.
07:36There were a lot of them.
07:38When I acted with them...
07:40I was afraid that I wouldn't get a lot of takes.
07:42I was conscious that I wouldn't get a lot of takes.
07:48I broke the comfort they gave me.
07:54We've been watching a lot of Ranji sir's films.
07:58This is a period film.
08:00It's a big job to look at the location.
08:02You've traveled with him, right?
08:04I've worked with him since the beginning.
08:08I like his work.
08:10His working style is different.
08:12His art form is different.
08:14He's been trying in all his films.
08:18He said he can learn cinema.
08:20I think you're the first generation in cinema.
08:24My dad is not an actor.
08:26When we get a team like this...
08:30He teaches us...
08:34It won't be like teaching.
08:36But you can't learn an art form.
08:38You can't teach.
08:40You have to be free to learn.
08:42There's that space.
08:44He's very interested.
08:46He's the first person who's interested in the set.
08:50He goes down to the location...
08:52We can't do it in the set.
08:54He'll go and see the location.
08:56It's not from here to there.
08:58It's from here to there.
09:00They're very small.
09:02They go and see the location.
09:04When they're ready, they say,
09:06No, let's go to that mountain.
09:08Let's try there.
09:10Overall, his thought process is like that.
09:14Kishore is a cinematographer.
09:16His team is ADS.
09:18They travel with him all the time.
09:20There's a unit.
09:22We're actors.
09:24We gain weight.
09:26Vikram sir doesn't tell us anything.
09:28He doesn't talk about his hard work.
09:30When I'm a technician,
09:32there are only five of us acting.
09:34But there are 200-300 people behind us...
09:36carrying all the weights...
09:38It's a path that can't be taken by car.
09:40He creates it there.
09:42There shouldn't be any obstacles.
09:44No one should step on the plant.
09:46He goes in search of it like that.
09:48The reporter has to save the obstacle.
09:50If you texture it with a cloth,
09:52it will look normal.
09:54If you scratch it, it will look like a stripe.
09:56You have to use a leaf.
09:58You have to use a leaf.
10:00You have to use a leaf.
10:02You have to use a leaf.
10:04You have to use a leaf.
10:06You have to use a leaf.
10:08He has a lot of hard work.
10:10We are amazed by his work.
10:16I've always had a learning curve for each film.
10:18I've always thought about how he's done it.
10:26He's one of the finest directors in India.
10:32It's great to work with him.
10:34It's a great thing.
10:37All of you have worked hard for this film.
10:42But for an artist like you, you can't go to another film.
10:47You have to finish this film to go to the next one.
10:50You have to reconstruct your body.
10:53How challenging was that for you?
10:56When I'm shooting, I get modelling assignments.
10:59I get booked for modelling projects.
11:02I was asked to do my body hair.
11:06They told me to leave my natural hair.
11:09They told me not to groom it.
11:11Plus, I was tanned.
11:13My skin started to peel off.
11:15I was extremely tanned.
11:17My face was tanned.
11:18Everything was tanned.
11:19So, I couldn't do it.
11:21When I went to Nazar for a shoot, he told me to go.
11:25I was like, where do I go?
11:27You give it to me, but I can't go and come back.
11:30So, there were those challenges.
11:33More than that, there's a conscious weight loss.
11:38But in the whole process of the film, we've lost so much pounds.
11:42I think I came on board when I was 58 or 59 kgs.
11:47But I dropped close to 6 to 7 kgs.
11:50I was around 54 or 53 kgs at the peak of the shoot.
11:54Eventually, in that process, we had lost weight.
11:57It's a necessary look for the story.
12:00We have to lose weight for a period of time.
12:04For certain reasons.
12:06So, naturally, we lost weight.
12:09Naturally, we got more into the skin of the characters.
12:13Literally.
12:14The skin of the characters.
12:16If I work in the sun, my skin will be torn.
12:19Sometimes, there will be rashes.
12:22We also got those rashes organically.
12:27You can see blood on everyone's feet.
12:32You can see blood on everyone's feet.
12:35Because the terrain is like that.
12:37There are no shoes.
12:39There's no difference between small and big feet.
12:41We walk on bare feet.
12:43If a stone gets stuck in the middle, you can't even show it.
12:48But that still adds something to the film.
12:53No matter what happens, we walk on that terrain.
12:57In the beginning, when we were shooting in the room,
13:01we used to pick thorns from our feet.
13:04We used to talk a lot and pick thorns.
13:07I used to sit on the table.
13:09He couldn't pick thorns from his feet, so I did.
13:12We used to talk and pick thorns.
13:14You've shed blood and suffered.
13:16It's not like that in the film.
13:18It's like that in the film.
13:20It's a big compliment.
13:22In the film, everyone is equal.
13:24Parvathy, Malvika, Pasupathy sir, everyone is equal.
13:28In our crew, there are 60-70 people.
13:31From kids to adults.
13:33But everyone has the same problem.
13:36If everyone is equal, it's a problem.
13:38They have a lot of problems.
13:40If you have to put dust in front of a propeller, everyone has to do it.
13:43If everyone's head is made of meat, everyone's head is made of meat.
13:46If everyone's head is made of mud, everyone's head is made of mud.
13:48If everyone's head is made of clay, everyone's head is made of clay.
13:50In the beginning, we used to sit on the floor.
13:54We used to sit on the floor.
13:56We used to sit on the floor and tap.
13:59No one should do that.
14:01If you sit down and get up, you have to keep going.
14:03That's what he said.
14:05We used to tap like this in the beginning.
14:07We shouldn't do that as we go.
14:09If you lie down and get up, there are thorns on it.
14:12You have to be like that.
14:14They don't do that in those days.
14:16We wash our hands when we eat.
14:20After we eat, we have to put our hands on the mud again.
14:22We have to get up and keep going.
14:24Super.
14:26If you're struggling so much, it's interesting to think about Vikram sir.
14:31I saw a recent video.
14:33He eats only almonds for weight.
14:36What are you talking about?
14:38I'm talking about almonds.
14:40Almond nuts.
14:42Everyone talks about his diet in movies.
14:46I've heard the sound.
14:49You can't diet like Vikram sir.
14:51He's a professional dieter.
14:57He's a different kind of actor.
14:59You haven't seen him since then.
15:01Vikram sir is a different kind of actor.
15:03When I saw him for the first time in Thangaland, I was surprised.
15:08He does small edits.
15:10We all go and come back.
15:12He leaves early.
15:14He has to do a big setup.
15:16He has to do a big setup.
15:18He works on small details.
15:20He'll call you to the spot.
15:22Come here.
15:24There's no black here.
15:26Or there's a little black here.
15:28He'll put that black.
15:30He edits everything personally.
15:32Not just him, everyone does.
15:34He'll tell you who made mistakes.
15:36He'll tell you who made mistakes.
15:38He'll tell you who made mistakes.
15:40He'll tell you who made mistakes.
15:42He'll tell you who made mistakes.
15:44He'll check everything.
15:46He thinks a lot about the details.
15:48There were shots in Vaikol.
15:50I had a Vaikol with me.
15:52When I'm working, I can't do it.
15:54It's stuck somewhere.
15:56I can't find it.
15:58I don't know if it fell off.
16:00He said, there's a Vaikol on my head.
16:02I said, I know.
16:04You know the presence of mind.
16:06When I'm working in Vaikol,
16:08I have a few Vaikol films on my head.
16:10I know the presence of mind.
16:12It's playing in my ears.
16:14It should be real.
16:16It's very real when I see it on screen.
16:22There's a lot of interest in the film.
16:24I have a question from an audience point of view.
16:26The film is about to release.
16:28If this scene is the peak or the highlight,
16:30tell me about one scene.
16:32An intro scene?
16:34Tell me about a scene.
16:36I like all the scenes.
16:38I like all the scenes.
16:40I like all the scenes.
16:42It's like an adventure film.
16:44You like one person in each scene.
16:46Vikram sir is doing it well.
16:48I can't name a single scene.
16:50Pasupathy sir is there.
16:52When they tie the knot,
16:54they'll start talking.
16:56They'll change when the shot starts.
16:58Parvathy ma'am is a great actress.
17:00She's our heroine.
17:02She's a great actress.
17:04She's our heroine.
17:06She's our heroine.
17:08She's a great actress.
17:10She's a great actress.
17:12Malayika Mohan
17:14She worked very hard on this film.
17:16She worked very hard on this film.
17:18We had to convince her.
17:20She worked so hard on this film.
17:22She worked so hard on this film.
17:24She worked so hard on this film.
17:26She worked so hard on this film.
17:28She would've painted her.
17:30You might've seen her in trailers...
17:32It's so irritating.
17:34We feel the heat in our body...
17:36They would paint the walls and make stunts out of it...
17:41Everyone's hard work has had a huge impact
17:46Ranjith sir is a director who doesn't give up until the end
17:51He will handle it correctly
17:56He will do it and it will come
18:01Malavika ma'am would have said in an interview that he asked the buffalo to sit
18:06It's a big deal
18:08It's not a joke that he asked the buffalo to sit
18:12He would say this much and that's how emotional he would be
18:16He would be like, what did you say?
18:19He would handle it like that
18:22He would say this much and then go
18:31They made the buffalo sit
18:35They made the buffalo sit after our shot
18:39The moment the buffalo came, it fell
18:47Before I could see how it fell, everyone came there for rescue
18:53I didn't get scared until they asked me if I was okay
19:01She didn't have a rope or anything
19:11It's a big deal to sit on a bull because it has to connect
19:16The bull we had in that film was a huge bull
19:21I was scared to go near it
19:24When they asked me to sit, it fell
19:29When we see everyone around us in that terrain
19:34We get a joke that we have to do the next scene
19:39It happens to all three of us
19:44What scene are they going to shoot tomorrow?
19:49We will study in our respective rooms
19:54He would be like, let's go
19:57He would finish his studies and go to sleep
20:01Not just me, everyone is like that
20:05But he would say, I didn't study at all
20:08When we leave, he would say that he didn't study in the morning
20:13He would say, I will tell you the scene
20:16But when it comes to acting, they would finish it easily
20:22I have worked with Arjun
20:27We have worked together in Dhammam
20:32When I worked with Preethi, we were like...
20:37Preethi, I'm going to do something new
20:42Preethi would be like, what is this?
20:48That's why we have a team
20:52If we do something, they would say, did you see what he did?
20:57Parvathy mam is in that team
21:02Pasupathy sir would give us a lot of input
21:07He wouldn't give us directly, but we would get a lot of input
21:12He wouldn't say anything
21:15Pasupathy sir is very rare
21:18Everyone told me that I was doing well
21:22He told everyone
21:25But Pasupathy wouldn't tell me anything
21:28One day, there was a scene where I had to run
21:31He would say, you ran really well
21:34You did a beautiful run
21:37That's how we connected the audience
21:40He would note that small detail
21:43Pasupathy sir and I were going to do a single-take scene
21:48I met Vikram sir for the first time
21:51I told him that I had seen his film and liked it
21:58Pasupathy sir asked me if we could practice and do it in a single-take
22:03I said yes
22:06Pasupathy sir is a great actor
22:11We did it in a single-take
22:16The set clapped
22:19That's when I had confidence
22:22I didn't know how to do it
22:27It was a daily learning experience
22:32Daniel is an actor from Hollywood
22:38His way of acting is different
22:41He is very professional, swift, straight
22:44That's how he is
22:47That's where you learn
22:50Actors like you can do it
22:53But in this film, you made a dog and a donkey act
22:56That's the thing
22:59They train themselves
23:03If you say action, it will happen
23:06If you say cut, it will go
23:09Sir will say, don't learn from action
23:12If you say action, the reflection will change
23:15If you say cut, it will be different
23:18Action is a stiff fight
23:21There's a scene where a donkey drowns in water
23:24The donkey doesn't come down for the first two days
23:27It comes out and they practice
23:30I learned how to swim
23:33I got used to it
23:36If I walk holding his hand, the donkey will go with me
23:40If I hold Vikram sir's hand, the donkey will go with him
23:43I got used to it with everyone
23:46You can see a lot of animals in the film
23:49There's a donkey and a donkey
23:52There's an adventure story
23:55There's a donkey, a buffalo, a bull
23:58There's a snake
24:01There's a real snake incident
24:04The scene was being shot there
24:07He was sitting in my house
24:10He asked me to sit in his place
24:13We were sitting there for a long time
24:16The scene was being shot there
24:19Something came down
24:22I thought it was something standing
24:25They didn't have a lot of clothes
24:28We didn't have a lot of clothes
24:31I thought it was a nail
24:34Something was standing next to him
24:37I thought it was a snake
24:40It was a small snake
24:43I didn't know what it was
24:46You threw the snake at me
24:49I didn't know what it was
24:53It was a very adventurous place
24:56There was a tail
24:59You've been on a lot of trips
25:02He created that
25:05He took a shot of the tail
25:08He said he could take a shot
25:11He didn't take it for an actor
25:14He took it for a lesson
25:17He knew that if he travelled this far
25:20He would have a different mindset
25:23He made us travel
25:26He made us travel and brought us to that mindset
25:29Our body language and emotions would have changed
25:34He planned it very hard
25:39I was surprised to see how much he planned
25:44He knew that
25:48Whether it was an artist or a team
25:59He knew that
26:02He would consider it but he wouldn't show it
26:05If he showed it, we would feel tired
26:11He's very calm, super composed
26:14He would handle things well
26:17He would know when to take a break
26:20He would know when the music would start
26:23Everyone would start dancing
26:26He would sit and watch for an hour
26:29Because people need it
26:32The artists need it
26:35The set is very vibrant
26:39Very creative
26:42Highly art-filled, art-inclined people
26:45Everybody for the love of cinema
26:48Everyone had that love of cinema
26:51Whether it was talking or singing
26:54It would be so nice
26:57He knows this is how the set is
27:00He would handle it
27:03Everyone would get tired
27:07His brother would sit and watch
27:10All artists would have chosen it
27:13We wouldn't know
27:16He would sing very well
27:19He would have chosen it
27:22He would be there
27:25He would choose...
27:28The work of ADs...
27:32There would be a young AD team
27:35If it wasn't for them, it wouldn't have been possible
27:38They would get everything
27:41They would get everything
27:44Water, weight...
27:47They would have a team like that
27:50They would do everything extremely well
27:53They would give everyone work
27:56There would be an art department
27:59Everyone would do everything
28:02Everyone from the assistant directors to the cinematographers
28:10They would do everything
28:13There's an interesting character called Robin
28:16He's a cinematographer
28:19He's an operator
28:22He operated Trinity
28:25He did a great job
28:29His work would reflect on itself
28:32You'd see his name
