00:04No, no, you speak in English.

00:05Still, I'll try.

00:07Easiest thing in this movie is that gay they left.

00:09They'll not be South actors, North actors.

00:11It'll all be about Indian cinema growing.

00:31Forgive me, I'll speak in Hindi.

00:33My Hindi is not good.

00:35No, no, you speak in English.

00:37Still, I'll try.

00:39You know that I have an accent in Hindi, South accent.

00:41Still, I'll try and speak to you in Hindi.

00:43Madam ji, all actors can come.

00:47There are so many talented actors in Hindi cinema.

00:50You know, the whole of national cinema.

00:52All people can come.

00:54They can take pictures and come to South

00:56and promote it.

00:58They can come to South, promote it, dub it.

01:00All actors, they all do phenomenal.

01:02In each genre, they do great pictures.

01:04We welcome everyone.

01:06No, personally, if you want to do it,

01:08which actor and which Bollywood film

01:10would you like to remake?

01:12Remake?

01:14You personally.

01:16I haven't done a remake yet, madam.

01:18I'm scared.

01:24I'm scared to do a remake.

01:26I haven't done it yet.

01:28I'm not saying that I won't do it.

01:30I haven't done it yet.

01:32I'm a little scared to do it.

01:34That's why I stay away from remakes.

01:38You performed exactly like a stone man guy.

01:42Yet, you looked so sexy.

01:48Really, do I?

01:50Yeah, of course.

01:52I was just going to ask you,

01:54it reminded me so much of Rajni sir.

01:58Small nuances.

02:00Will there be a comparison with

02:02the Thalaiva?

02:04More than comparison, I'll say

02:06it's more of an influence.

02:08I was born and brought up in Chennai.

02:10Obviously, I have a lot of

02:12subconscious absorption from

02:14big superstars like Rajni sir,

02:16Kamal sir.

02:18That's why if you notice that

02:20then I came to Hyderabad.

02:22Mr. Chiranjeevi is my own uncle.

02:24When I see him,

02:26he dances really well.

02:28His nuances.

02:30As a child, when you grow up

02:32seeing these people, you absorb them

02:34and they're there subconsciously in your mind.

02:36Not that I very consciously want to do it.

02:38If it came across like that also,

02:40I don't have an issue.

02:42You can say maybe it's a tribute for them.

02:44My respects for them in a way.

02:46Do you see the changing shifts

02:48in the industries and the respect

02:50that is given to each other?

02:52In the 2000s, it's a very clear

02:54gap between the South cinema and North cinema.

02:56Let's be honest about it.

02:58Then if you see the entire 2010s,

03:00the bridges,

03:02there have been beautiful bridges

03:04thanks to people like Manish ji

03:06who have

03:08bridged those gaps.

03:10Now,

03:12everybody's getting familiar with each other's cinema

03:14and I'm telling you,

03:16from the next decade onwards,

03:18in the 2020s,

03:20the lines will be so blurry

03:22that it will not matter

03:24where it comes from. It is only the content that will matter.

03:26They will not be South actors,

03:28North actors. It will all be about Indian cinema

03:30growing and I'm telling you,

03:32with wonderful platforms that have opened

03:34like OTTs, there are so many

03:36set of new film makers, directors,

03:38actors, technicians.

03:40This has opened up amazing horizons

03:42for us in the entertainment industry.

03:44We as Indian entertainment

03:46industry, not just cinema,

03:48we as Indian entertainment industry

03:50are going to be
