00:00Neslame has already been established.

00:02People have started calling it Neslame after Thannur Mathna.

00:05It was my first film.

00:06When I came to the location, he came here and spoke to me.

00:09We were like, Oh, Neslame!

00:14Did you expect it to be such a big range?

00:17I think it was a good quality film.

00:21From the beginning, in the pre-production and post-production,

00:26we had that good feeling.

00:29It was a good film.

00:31We knew it would be a good film.

00:34But we didn't expect it to be such a big success.

00:38It was unexpected.

00:40We were overwhelmed by the response.

00:45I loved the friendship between the two of you in that film.

00:49It was very organic.

00:50It was good.

00:51It was good for college mates.

00:54It was very good.

00:55I don't know if you know that.

00:58We have known each other for a long time.

01:00I did Thannur Mathna in my first film.

01:04I was the spot editor in that film.

01:06We worked together in that film.

01:14That connection, that rapport,

01:18helped us to bring the characters to the screen.

01:28We wanted to be successful.

01:33We were all very happy to complete the film.

01:38We were like a family.

01:40We shot in Hyderabad.

01:42It was a different style of life from the other films.

01:52I was very attached to the film.

01:57I wanted the film to be successful.

02:00But we didn't expect it to be such a big hit.

02:05We didn't expect it to be such a big hit.

02:09We didn't expect it to be such a big hit.

02:14Did you have fun with that role?

02:21I was a corporate guy.

02:24You were in IT.

02:26Yes, I was in Citibank.

02:28I was inspired by the people I met there.

02:37It was a well-written character.

02:39It was written by Gireesh and Kiran Joshi.

02:41It has all the basics.

02:44As an actor, I have to do my part.

02:47I tried to give maximum input.

02:49This is an example of good writing.

02:54Let's admit it.

02:55People like you.

02:56You guys are so young.

02:58Did you know that writing or acting is what counts?

03:02What is the success behind this film?

03:04It was a mix of both.

03:06It was a mix of both.

03:08I think it was a good mix.

03:10Not just the writing,

03:12but also the technical side.

03:16It was a good mix of everything.

03:19In every department,

03:21whether it is visual, music, acting,

03:25cast, performance, writing,

03:32everything was perfectly blended.

03:36It was a team work.

03:38It was a collective effort.

03:40I think that is why it was such a success.

03:44I don't think we can achieve such a success

03:46if it is just one side.

03:50We get all the reviews.

03:54Everyone will have a favorite in every review.

04:00It can be the technical department,

04:02performers,

04:04different people in the performance itself.

04:06We get appreciations for everything.

04:13Describe your fan base.

04:17Are they young?

04:19Are they girls?

04:21I don't know.

04:23Seriously, I don't know.

04:25The characters I play,

04:27whether they are young or not,

04:29when I go out,

04:31a lot of my family members

04:33who are around my mother's age

04:35or around my father's age

04:37come to me and say

04:39that it was good.

04:41It is like a going extra.

04:43Yes, it is like that.

04:49I am not a big star.

04:51I don't say that.

04:53But some people like me.

04:55Some people in my age category

04:57like me.

04:59My first film was

05:01Patros's film.

05:03He was the editor of that.

05:05He is an actual editor.

05:07That's his place.

05:10Neslin has already been established.

05:12People have heard a lot

05:14about Neslin.

05:16It was my first film.

05:18When I came here,

05:20he came here and spoke to me.

05:22I used to follow

05:24Ponmutta.

05:26Ponmutta is a series

05:28that I follow a lot.

05:30Then there is

05:32Karikku.

05:34Karikku is a series

05:36that I follow a lot.

05:38Everyone doesn't do that.

05:40That's what I said.

05:42Everyone doesn't do that.

05:44But he came here and

05:46spoke to me.

05:48It is my third film.

05:50There is a friendship.

05:52This movie is about first love.

05:54And also about how unsure you are.

05:56You don't get much luck

05:58with women and all that.

06:00Is that why you think it resonated

06:02with everybody?

06:04Because you guys don't have

06:07a hero entry.

06:09You are broke.

06:11You don't have much money.

06:13You can't do anything.

06:15Is that the reason?

06:17Many people might be able to relate.

06:19That's it.

06:21What happened in life

06:23or what we know

06:25or what happened

06:27in the life of our best friend

06:29or what happened

06:31in our life.

06:33People can easily relate

06:36with that.

06:38That's why

06:40it reaches

06:42a wide audience.

06:44They can relate.

06:46You don't get the girl.

06:48But you tried a lot.

06:50You get 100 points for trying.

06:52There are guys like you.

06:54Very ambitious.

06:56Overly.

06:58Is that why it is such a big hit?

07:00Is it a little negative?

07:02No.

07:04Like you said,

07:06CBC vs State

07:08I loved that.

07:10That was a dream.

07:12I studied in a normal school

07:14in Nattumpuram.

07:16I thought

07:18I was a well-off guy.

07:20I studied in a normal school.

07:22All of us studied in a normal school.

07:24All of you are from the state.

07:26We are not a sophisticated team.

07:30The co-writer of this film

07:33is CBC.

07:35Even though it is a character

07:37from the beginning,

07:39when people see it,

07:41they get angry.

07:43There are people like you

07:45in call centres

07:47with accents.

07:49How much were you involved

07:51in Fahadh Fahadh?

07:53Were you involved in the set?

07:55What was it like?

07:57Even though

07:59it was creative,

08:01there was a technical

08:03connection.

08:05We haven't seen Fahadh yet.

08:09Have you seen the movie?

08:11No.

08:13We will see it in a few days.

08:15Maybe he is laughing

08:17at his projects.

08:19He is counting the money.

08:21Maybe.

08:23He is a little busy.

08:25There was a character

08:27in Shyamettan's film.

08:30Shyamettan is more friendly

08:32to us.

08:34Dileesha is also friendly.

08:36We respect Dileesha more.

08:38He is a great director.

08:40When we talk to Shyamettan,

08:42he is a person

08:44in our age group.

08:46He thinks like that.

08:48That's why we are more

08:50close to Shyamettan.
