00:00There is no other beginning of Jesus. He is the beginning of Jesus.
00:04He is Jesus. He is the one who gave birth to the child.
00:10I myself have asked Yogi Babu many times.
00:13He is the ultimate.
00:15I have asked him to keep a face.
00:21In our production, there is a person called Madhavan.
00:23Madhavan is a bit cold.
00:25But Madhavan is...
00:26Did he allow you to exercise?
00:27He took off his shirt.
00:28He took off his shirt and exercised.
00:30In some way...
00:32Whatever I can do...
00:34I will do it.
00:39I didn't plan to be like Sivakarthi.
00:42Okay.
00:43There is another truth in that.
00:46I don't know if you know.
00:48I don't know.
00:49I drew what I drew.
00:54You look like Sivakarthi.
00:56Sivakarthi?
00:57It's confirmed.
00:59Either Sivakarthi or Vadachanna Ameer.
01:02If I say it confidently...
01:04Diwan Sarathkumar.
01:07I swear it's not your face.
01:12You have done so many films.
01:14But the romance is still there.
01:16How is it even possible?
01:17It's a childhood habit.
01:18I have been doing it since I was a kid.
01:20I have been practicing since then.
01:21I am getting better at it.
01:23Practice makes perfection.
01:27I was super excited to watch the movie.
01:29Because I couldn't do the dubbing.
01:31I would call Sir and ask him to dub it.
01:33She called me and asked me to dub it.
01:36He is a golden artist.
01:38He said he would dub it.
01:40She asked me if I was from Dubai.
01:46You look like Malakotta Esanathan.
01:49Can't you forgive this sinner?
01:52He would stare at me.
01:57Hi everyone.
01:59I am your Vijay Kalyani.
02:01Generally when you go to a film festival,
02:03the interview is done with the mindset
02:05that you have to ace it.
02:07No matter who the anchor is.
02:09But today I have the acing team of Kollywood.
02:11I am very happy.
02:13It's very special.
02:15I have already hosted a press meet with this team.
02:17I am very happy to have a conversation
02:19with the acing team.
02:21Hi everyone.
02:23You aced the introduction.
02:25Thank you so much.
02:27How are you all?
02:29Very good.
02:31I think I should start from the narration.
02:33You are giving interviews to a lot of people.
02:35Where did the acing start?
02:37Sir, you can start the conversation.
02:39The acing started when
02:41I did a film called Nallanal Pathu Sulru.
02:43As soon as I finished that,
02:45I started doing the narration.
02:47How do I say this?
02:49I told a story.
02:51Then I discussed a lot of stories.
02:53Then I did that film.
02:55There's no one else who started it with an ace.
02:57He's the one who did it.
02:59He's the one who did it.
03:01He's the one who did the film.
03:03That's how it started.
03:05He said it was okay.
03:07That's how it started.
03:09There's nothing else.
03:11But I think after seven years,
03:13I've seen a team reunite.
03:15I've seen a team reunite.
03:17I've seen a team reunite.
03:19Whether it's you, Arumugam sir or Justin.
03:23How is your mindset like?
03:25Sethu sir?
03:27We know that it's been seven years.
03:29We know that it's been seven years.
03:31But we started talking about this story.
03:33We talked about this story in a different form.
03:35We talked about four or five other stories.
03:37We got stories from people outside.
03:39We talked about seven or eight stories.
03:41We talked about seven or eight stories.
03:43We finally decided to finalize this.
03:45We were discussing.
03:47We were finishing within that.
03:49Then I asked him,
03:51емонitore a profitable film for me.
03:53I asked him,monitore a profitable film for me.
03:55Then I asked him to exhibit it.
03:57It would have taken one or two years.
03:59That's been during COVID itself.
04:03So, our relationship has deteriorated.
04:05But it would have been a new experience to others.
04:07Our friendship will last fifteen years,
04:09at least for me and him.
04:11We don't know much about it
04:16This side is like a team of white people
04:21Why didn't you wear the baddies?
04:26But there is a unity in it
04:31Everyone is dressed in white
04:36He said it was good
04:41You have done so many films, but the romance is still there
04:46It's a childhood habit
04:51I am getting better at it
04:56Next time there will be a certification problem for the interview
05:01The most anticipated roles were played by Avinash sir and Bablu sir
05:06We saw a lot of comments
05:11We see amazing villains
05:16This will be a big hit
05:21It will be a starting point for me in Tamil
05:26I feel he has found a new villain
05:31Sethu sir, would you like to share something about him?
05:36It's good that he trusted me
05:41Avinash sir, what would you like to say?
05:46I'm having sleepless nights in anticipation of 23rd
05:51I have done quite a few movies after KGF
05:56I am still fondly known as Andrews Avinash
06:01It gives me a lot of pride
06:06It has given me a new lease of life
06:11Usually people say an artist is only as good as his previous film
06:16I still hold on to Andrews
06:21I have a very strong feeling that after 23rd
06:26I would also be known as Dharma Avinash
06:31There was a small obligation in the press meet
06:36I would like to fulfill it here
06:41Bablu sir and Avinash should be asked about their hair care tips
06:46You said you must ask about your hair care
06:51I was wondering what you were going to say
06:56I'm asking both of you
07:01Which hair are you talking about?
07:06If I ask you, it would be about your hair
07:11I have a similar question
07:16I eat healthy, I work out, I don't smoke and drink
07:21Coconut oil...
07:26If you go on Instagram, there are a lot of hair care tips
07:31Do you follow them?
07:36I don't follow them, I just scroll
07:41I thought you were asking about my hair care tips
07:46No, I just scroll
07:51You just scroll across
07:56I go to the doctor if I need to
08:01My wife knows some hair care tips
08:06I don't get confused
08:16How excited are you for the film?
08:21It's a situational comedy
08:26My character revolves around a lot of comedy
08:31It's a first time experience to do that kind of a character
08:36The directors put a lot of confidence in me
08:41I haven't done comedy, this is the first time I'm doing
08:46I would love to do comedy roles
08:51Usually when people see me, they'll say she can do more serious roles
08:56I'm super excited
09:0123rd is my lucky number
09:06This is my 10th year since I started acting
09:11I believe in numbers and the universe coming together
09:16I'm hoping this will be a super hit for all of us
09:21This is your second collaboration with Sethu sir
09:26Tell us about that as well
09:31We did a lot of research
09:36You mentioned in the press meet that you have two love stories
09:41I'm actually playing Sir's mother's character
09:46Seema ma'am's flashback character
09:51It was a very beautiful character
09:56I got to have a few beautiful lines
10:01It was very special for me
10:06When they said I'm playing his mom
10:11It was a surreal experience
10:16To work with him was...
10:21There's a scene in the film where we're walking in the supermarket
10:31It has to come naturally
10:36I was sweating so much because of the tension
10:41I think that was the first or second scene I did with him
10:46I think it was the second day
10:51We shot in a hotel and the next day was the second day
10:56I get very tense whenever I see him
11:01I feel the same way
11:06He's actually the sweetest person
11:11Sir was saying previously
11:16How a co-actor should be to make you calm and get the best out of you
11:21Only then the scene would work
11:26He was very calmly saying
11:31I would still make mistakes because I'm stuck
11:36I don't know whether you know
11:41Everyone makes mistakes
11:46But when you execute a scene
11:51The chemistry between the two actors
11:56The timing has to work out
12:01Even if I don't feel like it
12:06I'll ask if it's okay
12:11The actor has to be comfortable on screen
12:16I came from a place where I didn't know anything
12:21I'm a senior actor so I'm scared
12:26I've gone through this
12:31He's a fan
12:36I never thought I'd be acting with him
12:41Sharing screens and walking together
12:46Sometimes I'm like, is it true?
12:51How did I get that?
12:56It's a very surreal feeling
13:01I'm super excited to watch the movie
13:06I couldn't do the dubbing
13:11They called me and asked me to do the dubbing
13:16He's such a talented artist
13:21They asked me if I was from Dubai
13:26Divya is a pure Malayali
13:31But you asked confidently
13:36You speak Hindi in Dubai, right?
13:41I've seen a lot of Malayalis
13:46At least 50% of them know Tamil
13:51He said, you Malayalis never come out
13:56He said it in Tamil
14:01He said, you Malayalis never come out
14:06He said, you Malayalis never come out
14:11He said, you Malayalis never come out
14:16I'll get comfortable with sir
14:21After a few months
14:26It'll go back to once again
14:31We shot three months in Malaysia
14:36Every time my brain goes to reset
14:41When I see sir, I'm like, resets
14:46They'll come back fresh
14:51You mentioned in the press meet
14:56That you have an important role in this movie
15:01We heard that you were in the movie throughout
15:06I don't know about them
15:11Usually when we do dubbing
15:16We can have some sort of a judgment of our character
15:21I've heard it many times
15:26There's a scene you acted in
15:31All my combination scenes are with Yogi Babu sir and Vijay Sethupathi sir
15:36And Rukmini also
15:41We would laugh at the set
15:46It was like an acting school for me
15:51How to use all the properties
15:56The presence of mind is so important for an artist
16:01I've become a better actor
16:06That's what elevates the scene
16:11It's a job of a fine artist
16:16We have to perform the scene and have properties
16:21We shot a scene there
16:26We had to convey a few things
16:31We had a candy shop in Malaysia
16:36They sell colored sweets
16:41He uses all the elements
16:46He calls the shopkeeper
16:51I had written the conversation between them
16:56I wanted to use that scene
17:01Someone came to see the scene
17:06He was very cute
17:11The scene will be beautiful
17:16I saw a candy shop for the first time
17:21They cut it into small packets
17:26I was excited when I saw it
17:31Was there a millennial among you?
17:36No, I didn't see it in our country
17:41It was good to see
17:46He's a great guy
17:51I thought it would be good to interact with him
17:56It was a scene for Ruku and me
18:01Ruku should have known him well
18:06I thought it would be good to use the properties
18:11It was a surprise
18:16It's a different feeling when you perform a scene
18:21When you perform it, you get an idea
18:26You may be excited when you get an idea
18:31But when you execute it and discuss it
18:36It's about trying to achieve the same excitement
18:41We believe that everyone will like it
18:46Until you see it and like it
18:51We will try to reach the same excitement
18:56We get chances
19:01We will try to reach the same excitement
19:06You mentioned that he bought a mannequin during the audition
19:11It was a way to elevate the character
19:16Things haven't changed since then
19:21That's why you are loved by people
19:26When I go to a place where there's nothing
19:31I look for a form to understand
19:36I'm learning how to cook
19:41It's up to you to achieve the taste
19:46But you have to understand the form
19:51When we try to understand the form, we look at the elements
19:56The elements are the people around me
20:01When we discuss it, we collect it
20:06We don't learn knowledge from one direction
20:11It's a collective information that we learn from people
20:16You process it through your thought process and approach it
20:21The form and the process
20:26The collective of information
20:31That's the difference
20:36If you are going to study something
20:41It's the same for all the syllabuses
20:46The mind that receives and processes it
20:51Becomes the fingerprint of your mind
20:56That's why I collected from the people I met
21:01That's how it came about
21:06That's why your third collaboration with Vijay Sethupathi?
21:11Not because of that
21:16You want to be a director
21:21Will you say no if I say I'll act?
21:26It's a dream
21:31It's a dream to work with a fine artist
21:36It's a dream to conceive something
21:41It's an achievement to see that
21:46Let's leave the ace
21:51When someone comes and does an audition
21:56He doesn't know if he'll get the right person
22:01That's pure talent
22:06Both of us act very humbly
22:11Beyond the stage of knowing the actor
22:16When you don't know anything, you can identify someone
22:21The first day of the shoot
22:26The second scene is a shot where I mix all kinds of shit in my mouth
22:31I was very scared
22:36I didn't have that experience
22:41But it happened
22:46I didn't know how to reach the pain
22:51It was the first film for Prem sir
22:56If someone believes in you, the fear increases
23:01They shook hands with me after the shoot
23:06It gave me a lot of hope
23:11At that stage, I believe in myself
23:16I believe in myself when I don't have anything
23:21It's beautiful to hear
23:31You're the producer of this film
23:36You have a lot of responsibilities
23:41How did you balance that?
23:46If the finance is right, it's not a big challenge
23:51If the time is right, it's a challenge
23:56But nothing is always right
24:01We can't do it in a time frame
24:06If we're directing, we can only come back to production after the work is done
24:11We can't direct while watching the production
24:16We have a producer who does marketing
24:21We have to do that work
24:26These are the main challenges
24:31The producer is afraid of the director
24:36I'm the producer and I'm the director
24:41But I have to face the consequences
24:46It's a good consequence
24:51It's an easy job
24:56Another important thing is planning
25:01Even if we mess up, planning is important
25:06If the paperwork is right, it's good
25:11You could have changed the title to Nane Raja Nane Mandiri Arumugukumar
25:16Vijayakanth sir's film
25:21You said that your time has started
25:26We know the excitement behind it
25:31How special is this film?
25:36I can't reveal too much...
25:41Romantic villain
25:46He's the hero, Bolt Kannan
25:56He's a villain and he's a villain
26:01He travels with Yogi Babu
26:06They don't have a combination scene
26:11Yogi Babu, him and him
26:16Rukmini travels with him
26:21They don't have a combination
26:26He's physically strong...
26:31He's a rugged boy
26:36He's a chocolate boy
26:41He's a chocolate boy
26:46Don't miss that
26:51A villain like that
26:56A rugged boy villain and a chocolate boy villain
27:01I'd like to talk about Yogi Babu's characterisation
27:06You and Yogi Babu had a great combination
27:11How was it working together as a director and as a co-artist?
27:16Yogi Babu and his combination...
27:21Both of them are innovators
27:26They both have a lot of creativity
27:31I can bring humor easily
27:36But I have a timing
27:41Yogi Babu and Yogi Babu don't collaborate
27:46We don't want to miss content
27:51We don't collaborate with artists
27:56I can't say how a fine artist like Yogi Babu will do it
28:01There's magic in it
28:06I don't see it as a big thing
28:11I just keep laughing at the monitor
28:16There's magic happening there
28:21I've laughed at Yogi Babu's timing many times
28:26He's the ultimate...
28:31Yogi Babu is an amazing actor
28:36He doesn't have a partiality for big or small films
28:41He does what needs to be done to make the film and the scene work
28:46He does it sincerely
28:51If he's in the scene, he thinks about what he wants to do
28:56He keeps thinking about what he wants to do
29:01Even in the gap between the shots...
29:06Even if it's just a discussion, he'll tell a story
29:11What else can we do to impress him?
29:16When we see him, there's a guy called Madhavan in our production
29:21Madhavan will be a bit cold
29:26He'll take off his shirt
29:31Whatever he can do, he'll do it
29:36I've seen a film called Boat by Simudhevan
29:41He portrays the serious role beautifully
29:46His face fits everything
29:51Sometimes I can't control my laughter
29:56It's a good feeling to be with him on set
30:01That chemistry works out on screen
30:06I think his counter was the last cut of the trailer
30:11I didn't plan it to be like Sivakarthi's
30:16There's another truth to it
30:21I drew what I drew
30:26There's a plot twist in the reveal
30:31We had drawn something in Aaviran's getup
30:36I'll ask him what it looks like
30:41He'll have drawn it himself
30:46He'll say, no, Aaviran is Sivakarthi, Vadasan is Aamir
30:51He'll say, this is Aaviran
30:56He has a point of view
31:01It'll look even better in the film
31:06He'll say, it looks like me
31:11It looks like Sivakarthi
31:16It's either Sivakarthi or Vadasan Aamir
31:21If I say it confidently, it's Thivan Sarathkumar
31:26It's a lengthy dialogue
31:31I drew it with Aaviran
31:36I'll see if it looks like Thivan Sarathkumar
31:41When we were shooting the gambling scene...
31:46There were Chinese actors and Malaysians
31:51He'll say, some of them look like an actor
31:56He's right
32:01You'll look like that actor
32:06He'll say, look at him
32:11It won't look good
32:16He'll say, look at him
32:21It won't look good
32:26I've told him a few stories
32:31I keep asking him to direct
32:36He's too good
32:41We're seeing a new side of you
32:46This film is a blend of combinations
32:51How did you feel working with your co-star?
33:11It was absolutely fine
33:16I was fumbling
33:21There was a dialogue where I had to show the passport
33:26He went behind and took the passport
33:31I was scratching my head
33:36He said, sir, everything is so good
33:41He's wonderful, he's very supportive
33:46He carries you along with the whole team
33:51He doesn't let you sink or drown
33:56There's a scene where he threatens him with a beard
34:01There's a scene where he threatens him with a beard
34:06He doesn't talk unnecessarily
34:11It's very humorous
34:16There's a Malaysian artist with a beard
34:21He says, sign it
34:26He says, sign it
34:31I look at him and say, you look like Malakotta Esanathan
34:36Can't you do something for this sinner?
34:41He makes a sound
34:46There's a low angle shot
34:51He has a lot of imagination
34:56He has a good scope for everything
35:01I want to see a film like this
35:06I want to see a film like this
35:11You must have had a lot of fun
35:16It's surprising to see such fun events
35:21Your characterisation in KGF was celebrated by the people
35:26The people of Tamil Nadu love you so much
35:31What will be the differentiation in KGF?
35:36How would you differentiate the roles?
35:41Andrews is more of a cunning character
35:46He is very stylish but he is a Shakuni within inside
35:51He is stylish, he is rugged
35:56He is extremely cruel, he has no boundaries
36:01He is ruthless, he can go to any extent when he wants something
36:06There is a humorous side of him which is visible
36:11That humorous side is got out by Yogi Babu sir and Vijay Sethupathi sir
36:16That humorous side is got out by Yogi Babu sir and Vijay Sethupathi sir
36:21That's how I would like to put it
36:26The smile is constant
36:31Even if you speak in English, the smile is there
36:36Many people had a doubt about the genre of the film
36:41Many people had a doubt about the genre of the film
36:46What genre should people expect from the film?
36:51What genre should people expect from the film?
36:56Romantic, crime, comedy, action...
37:01There's everything in it. It's a wholesome package
37:06It's a proper entertainment film
37:11If there's content in the film, it's there
37:16If there's philosophy in it, it's there
37:21It's there, but in a lighter way
37:26We can easily tell people without torturing them
37:31We can come in plain and have fun
37:36But there's still content in it. There's a big philosophy in it
37:41You had a philosophy?
37:46You said something...
37:51Everything is connected
37:56That's the law of the universe
38:01If something happens, there's a reason for it
38:06If he comes to Malaysia, there's a reason for it
38:11Everything is connected
38:16That's the philosophy
38:21Everyone has a purpose
38:26I, Divya, Yogi Babu, Rukmani...
38:31Is this a combination?
38:36There's a game in the middle
38:41Is it a 10-day story?
38:46No, it's a one-month story
38:51He's the main character
38:56There are many Malaysian artists in the film
39:01Did you audition and choose them?
39:06We auditioned and chose them
39:11Priscilla is a female character
39:16Marudhu is a character
39:21Raj is a character
39:26Everything is connected
39:31That's the law of the universe
39:36Everything has a connection
39:41But it's not serious
39:46It's casual entertainment
39:51I think we should talk about the heroine
39:56We definitely miss her
40:01She's very serious and sincere
40:06We work in a jolly way
40:11She's a serious and sincere girl
40:16She's the only character in the film
40:21She's the only one who's emotional and serious
40:26She's the only one with problems
40:31Everyone else has problems
40:36But she's very sensitive
40:41She's very sensible
40:46She knows the nuances
40:51Since it's a commercial film, we don't appreciate the character arc
40:56There's a craft in every commercial
41:01Everyone maintains the character arc
41:06From the point of view of the audience and the director, there's humor
41:11But if he's a character, the character arc is followed
41:16His character is in the same arc
41:21There's the heroine's arc
41:26We don't go beyond the character arc
41:31We don't go beyond the character arc
41:36We don't appreciate a commercial film
41:41There's a craft in everything
42:01I had a great time talking to all of you
42:06Likewise, thank you
