00:00So, you are opting roles, different variations of Kesari Karao, Skabad, Houseful Fai Karao.
00:07How you move these kind of characters?
00:12How do I move?
00:14Yeah.
00:16It's actually the love of cinema.
00:20And, you know, when I came to the industry, I was only doing action films.
00:27Yes.
00:28You know why?
00:29Because I was offered action films.
00:31Okay.
00:32I was never given anything else.
00:34Because I was only known for doing action.
00:38And every morning I used to get up, go to shoot.
00:42Sir, you have to jump from there, you have to jump from here.
00:44Now you have to kick, you have to do this.
00:46Say some lines, sing a song.
00:48Sir, again action.
00:50And this is all I did.
00:54Seven years passed like this.
00:56Seven to eight years passed like this.
00:58And I was very, like I didn't know what in life am I doing only beside this.
01:06Am I not capable of doing anything else?
01:09I looked at myself.
01:10I still remember the day when I was coming down from my house.
01:14There's a, in the lift, there was a mirror.
01:17I was just looking at myself.
01:19And I stayed on the 12th floor, so it takes time to come down.
01:26And that day I still remember very clearly that I was looking at it and I said, I only do this.
01:32Now also I'm going to go and just do some action.
01:35Because nobody trusts me that I can perform in something else also.
01:40And then came, I tried and I begged my directors.
01:47And slowly, slowly, I got different, different character.
01:50I said, please trust me.
01:51I can do it.
01:52I can do it.
01:53Then Priyadarshan Ji, he came in my life.
01:56He gave me Hera Fairy.
01:58Then slowly, slowly, I got Sangarsh.
02:03Mr. Mahesh Bhatt gave me that film.
02:06Then Guddu Danua, Elan.
02:09Slowly, slowly, life started changing.
02:12And then I started doing Toiletic, Love Story, Padman, Airlift.
02:20And slowly, slowly, it just kept on going on.
02:22And by the time I, so that is, that is why, how I kept on doing different things.
02:27I kept on doing different kind of roles.
02:29I never want one role to match another role.
02:32It is my decision, a deliberate decision that I always take.
02:38When you look at the work, it is more than 30 years, 150 films.
02:43And is there any chance for the direction?
02:47No, I want to live happily.
02:53Are you happy with the production film?
02:55Sir, are you happy with the production film?
02:57Yeah, I am very happy.
02:58As a producer?
02:59Sorry?
03:00As a producer?
03:01As a producer?
03:02Me or you?
03:03You?
03:04I am very happy.
03:05You also made films, right?
03:06I have made about 35 to 40 films.
03:08Sir, it is so difficult in the direction.
03:10It is so difficult.
03:12It is not difficult.
03:14At the moment, I don't have the mindset and the bandwidth to do this.
03:19I just want to keep it.
03:21You know, you have to be ready for it.
03:23He is ready for direction.
03:25Oh, really, sir?
03:26Yeah, yeah.
03:27He never revealed, sir.
03:28You wait and watch.
03:29Being so close to him.
03:30Mark my words, he is ready for it.
03:32And mark my words, one day you will see him directing.
03:35Oh.
03:36He has that thing in him.
03:38Because he likes going and telling somebody, even our direction, even this, even the dialogues and everything.
03:45He has that with him.
03:47Vishwagaru, this is your first Pan-Indian release in Hindi also.
03:51So, tell us more about the distribution and the release span of the film.
03:55Sir, I think, you know, that's for a later conversation, but I'll just tell it in brief.
04:00It's being distributed in Hindi by the Pan-Marudhar group, Mr. Jain Tilal Gada and everybody.
04:07And as of now, we are looking at opening up in 1800 screens.
04:12I just hope and pray it actually goes up because this is a story which has to be told.
04:17And the reason why I'm getting 1800 screens also is because I have the star power of Mr. Akshay Kumar.
04:23You know, otherwise, you know, I wouldn't find so many screens.
04:27And luckily for Kanappa, the distributors believe that it will resonate with, you know, the Hindi heartland also.
04:35Okay, sir.
04:36Thank you, sir.
04:37Thank you very much.
04:38Thank you very much.
04:39We are looking for very good roles and iconic roles from Eastern.
04:42Thank you, Raja Baba.
04:43Sir, let us spell the date, 27th June, going to be the big day for Kanappa, the Pan-Indian film of our Vishnu.
04:51The first time.
04:52And we are all wishing, we have a great travel with this family.
04:55And it's very lucky that we have you with yours.
04:59So, all the best.
05:01We'll meet in the success meet of Kanappa.
05:03For sure.
05:04Kanappa, yeah.
