00:00And yeah, a lot of love to Telugu cinema and audience.

00:04I'm not saying this because I'm in Hyderabad, okay?

00:06I mean, I really...

00:07I've only done what...

00:09I've done a Telugu film, a Tamil Telugu bilingual like 10-15 years back.

00:12Then after that, I've had the opportunity to be a part of multiple Telugu films.

00:17Just did not happen and finally Salar happened.

00:22Salar happened and regarding this boy here, Karthikeya.

00:26You know, late one night at 1 AM,

00:29Prashant sends me a message saying,

00:31Are you asleep?

00:32I said, No.

00:33Then he said, I'm going to send you something.

00:34So then he sends me a shot

00:36that he is shot on his mobile phone from the monitor.

00:40So it's a shot of Karthikeya, young Varadaraja Mannar.

00:44So, removing his Khada and throwing it,

00:49where he is offering his kingdom for Deva.

00:53So, Prashant has sent me that shot.

00:55I immediately called him back and said,

00:56Do whatever you want with him soon because I'm taking him.

00:59So, that's how I cast him in this film.

01:02And he is a wonderful, wonderful young actor.

01:05I'd be really disappointed if he does not go on to become a big star here.

01:08So, I'm counting on you to do that.

01:11And all of us across the country, especially in Kerala,

01:16we are very envious of the audience here

01:19because of the kind of love and excitement you have for cinema.

01:22You know, when we talk of film industries in India right now,

01:27the fact of the matter is, Telugu cinema is essentially a regional film industry.

01:31But today, it could be India's biggest industry.

01:33And that is because of the audience here.

01:37Producers like Dilraju Garu can today think of five, six hundred crore films because of you guys.

01:41And I really hope Empuran is the beginning of such a journey for Malayalam cinema.

01:46And I really hope that we find love from all across the country.

01:51And hopefully, you know, we will soon, like Dilraju sir said,

01:56Salar? Salar too? Yeah, of course.

02:00Hopefully, we'll all be eventually celebrating Indian cinema together.

02:03So, thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much.
