00:00A big actor came drunk and misbehaved.
00:04I spoke to him about whatever I wanted to say.
00:10She is lying. She thinks she is the boss.
00:12Who is she? What is this? Rubbish!
00:17When I was walking, I knew it was a wrong video.
00:21But I don't have the fluency in that language, so I didn't speak.
00:27I can't say a name. I won't say a name.
00:29If I lie down and spit, it will fall on my face.
00:32I don't want that.
00:34Many people have agreed to this.
00:42I have said a lot, haven't I?
00:47Four days ago, I got a call from SIT.
00:50I called them and first I told them about my comments.
00:55I told them that they were working so fast.
00:59They asked me about it.
01:01I said, yes, it happened.
01:03But I didn't file a complaint.
01:05There is nothing for the investigators to do.
01:07If I file a complaint, they can investigate me.
01:09I didn't file a complaint.
01:11They just wanted a clarification.
01:13That's all.
01:17Definitely.
01:19The committee...
01:21I want to tell you one thing.
01:23Because all of you are in the press.
01:25The committee is not like,
01:27Is there so much violence in Tamil Nadu?
01:29It's not like that.
01:31In Tamil Nadu, it has reduced a lot.
01:33Because educated people have come.
01:35Their behaviour has changed.
01:37Their attitude has changed.
01:41They are very confident.
01:43They are very smart.
01:45Everyone is like that.
01:47So, somewhere,
01:49I think,
01:51a character artist,
01:53or a story writer,
01:55there are chances for mistakes to happen.
01:57I am saying only one thing.
01:59Why did I talk about this?
02:01Why did I talk about this today?
02:03Why didn't I say this before?
02:05I did what I had to do in that place.
02:07Mohanlal sir himself asked me.
02:09This happened on my set.
02:11I didn't want to tell my name.
02:13I said, it was you or someone else.
02:15I said, it was you or someone else.
02:17But, there were no big people on the set.
02:19When I walked,
02:21When I saw it,
02:23I knew it was a wrong video.
02:25But, I don't have the fluency in that language.
02:27So, I didn't talk about it.
02:29Then, I asked a Tamil Nadu person,
02:31What is this?
02:33He said, catch it and buy it.
02:35I told him, delete it.
02:37But, before I deleted it,
02:39Someone must have sent a copy.
02:41Then, I called the production,
02:43I told them, you have to protect it.
02:45I told them, you have to protect it.
02:47These caravans are not controlled by the hero.
02:49These caravans are not controlled by the hero.
02:51I didn't want to sensationalize it.
02:53I didn't want to sensationalize it.
02:55In the Hema committee,
02:57They have said,
02:59They have said,
03:01There are such failings.
03:03There is a place to correct it.
03:05There is a place to correct it.
03:07I spoke about this
03:09I spoke about this
03:11In my life,
03:13In my life,
03:15I have faced any problem.
03:17I have faced it alone.
03:19There will be a big fight.
03:21There will be heroes.
03:23Some heroes will ask, what is the problem?
03:25Some heroes will ignore it.
03:27So, we have learned to survive on our own.
03:29Women are very strong in birth.
03:31Women are very strong in birth.
03:33We can do everything.
03:35We can do everything.
03:37But, in a marketing strategy,
03:39They have pushed us back.
03:41Till now, we have been struggling.
03:43Till now, we have been struggling.
03:45Do you think that the problems in Tamil cinema
03:47Do you think that the problems in Tamil cinema
03:49will be covered up?
03:51I am not asking you to cover it up.
03:53I am not asking you to cover it up.
03:55Please tell me that you don't know.
03:57Please tell me that you don't know.
03:59Please tell me that you don't know.
04:01Everyone is sitting and talking like a stranger.
04:03Everyone is sitting and talking like a stranger.
04:05Please tell me that you don't know.
04:07If you don't know,
04:09If you don't know,
04:11what are you going to do?
04:13What are you going to do?
04:15You have not talked about the problems women are facing
04:17in Tamil cinema.
04:19If there is any problem,
04:21you are not going to talk about it
04:23You are not going to talk about it
04:25I can't give you any punishments.
04:27I know that.
04:29I know that.
04:31That's why I am saying this.
04:33I can't tell you my name.
04:35If I lie down and spit, it will fall on my face. I don't want that.
04:39Many people have agreed to this.
04:42They have made mistakes.
04:44They have experienced it.
04:46I have seen the people who have experienced it.
04:48I don't want to talk about it now.
04:50Because I have handled how I should handle in that place.
04:54In that place, in that heroine, in that artist,
04:57they have handled how to handle.
05:00Talk about this in the media.
05:02We are not helpless women.
05:05We are strong women.
05:07We have handled it correctly.
05:09But what I think is,
05:11for the women of the future,
05:13for the society of the future,
05:15for the artists of the future,
05:17there should be a protection.
05:19Because today, the era has changed.
05:21You are taking a visual from a CCTV camera.
05:25You are writing about it.
05:27Is it correct?
05:29In the present era,
05:31please correct your protection.
05:34When I go to the producer's council,
05:36I ask for an agreement.
05:38What should we take care of?
05:40Don't give rights for 20 years.
05:42Give it for 3 years.
05:44How many ideas like that.
05:46This is also for the women.
05:48If an incident has happened,
05:50if there is a committee,
05:52what I have told the actor's association,
05:54keep a strong committee.
05:56A police officer,
05:58or a lawyer.
06:00If you have this,
06:02keep a committee that believes
06:04that if you tell them,
06:06something will happen.
06:08Because, as I said,
06:10the Nirbhaya case happened 8 years ago.
06:12I am not saying this to embarrass you.
06:14The Nirbhaya case,
06:16that length,
06:18if it happens to us,
06:20what do we think?
06:22It is not encouraging to anyone.
06:24When that girl died,
06:26when will she get justice?
06:28When will she be punished for her death?
06:30Today,
06:32Prime Minister Modi,
06:34has said that,
06:36if such mistakes happen to women,
06:38or children,
06:40you have to fast track it.
06:42He has not said,
06:44to end it quickly.
06:46When a Prime Minister says this,
06:48we feel satisfied.
06:50This has to change.
06:52Question from audience.
06:56I have only one request.
06:58When you ask me a question,
07:00tell me which magazine it is.
07:02Tell me.
07:04Malayam Orissa.
07:06Tell me.
07:12Visakha committee
07:14started 3 years ago.
07:16Till now,
07:18no complaint has come to that committee.
07:20Who is there in that committee?
07:26Who is there in that committee?
07:34Which magazine is it?
07:36Tell me.
07:38In your small industry,
07:40everyone says that your films
07:42are safe.
07:44In the big industry,
07:46who is responsible to protect them?
07:48Producers.
07:54In this era,
07:56I have acted with all the heroes.
07:58I have acted with all the new heroes.
08:00I have acted with all the new directors.
08:02I don't see protection
08:04as a big risk factor.
08:06I don't see it in front of my eyes.
08:08I don't see it in front of my eyes.
08:10I don't know if something is happening behind me.
08:14I don't know if they are cheating
08:16by saying they love me.
08:18This is a different model.
08:22I don't see it as a big risk factor.
08:24I don't see it as a big risk factor.
08:26Protection should be given
08:28to dancers,
08:30artists,
08:32secondary grade artists.
08:34They are the ones who do the character.
08:36Now, all the heroes fall down and watch us.
08:38The next character artist
08:40is the producer who has to protect them.
08:42I have said this in the producer's council.
08:44For them,
08:46the toilets,
08:48changing facilities,
08:50caravans should be protected.
08:52This is what production should look at.
08:54If something wrong happens there,
08:56we have to give awareness to that woman.
08:58You come here.
09:00Come here and answer.
09:02You come here and answer.
09:04This is a common question
09:06that men ask.
09:08Who knows
09:10how much pain
09:12a woman has gone through
09:14in those 5 years.
09:16She has to take care of her family.
09:18She has to take care of her child.
09:20All the women,
09:22in every profession,
09:24be it a cook,
09:26or a chef,
09:28or an IT person,
09:30be it an IT person,
09:32you have to create
09:34a high level HR department
09:36for those who are affected.
09:38We have to create
09:40such a high level HR department
09:42with prosperity people.
09:44Mr. Adhavan has said that
09:46the committee should be formed.
09:48Do you have any suggestions for that?
09:50If he asks, I will tell him.
09:52Madam,
09:54Madam, you said...
09:56Which magazine are you from?
09:58Where?
10:00Okay.
10:10Generally, I think,
10:12many youngsters these days
10:14have a wrong mindset.
10:18It is getting worse every year.
10:29I will tell you one thing.
10:31It may be.
10:33It may be according to them.
10:35It may not be according to me.
10:37Even now, I am telling you,
10:39as I have seen before,
10:41now I don't see that much.
10:43Maybe because I am doing characters,
10:45I haven't seen that much.
10:47I don't know.
10:49Usually, an artist will tell me,
10:51in the past,
10:53someone would be in my room,
10:55or in the set,
10:57or in the set,
10:59I will sit next to her.
11:01If I am there, no one will come.
11:03That girl has got courage.
11:05This is a famous actress.
11:07She has got married.
11:09For that actress,
11:11I have come to this place.
11:13A famous actress got drunk and misbehaved.
11:15At that time, my husband was there.
11:17My husband said,
11:19please don't say anything.
11:21She got drunk.
11:23At that time, he was called somewhere.
11:25He left.
11:27Whatever I wanted to say to him,
11:29I said it.
11:31That girl hugged me and said,
11:33I don't know love.
11:35But I know what you said.
11:37I love you.
11:39Till now, she is a close friend of mine.
11:41So,
11:43we hug and ask where there is a mistake.
11:45We correct it.
11:47If I go to the police station and
11:49complain about it,
11:51what are we going to do?
11:53Disappointment for me is,
11:55I have seen many people
11:57who commit mistakes.
11:59Many people have committed mistakes.
12:01But society
12:03raises the man
12:05and celebrates him.
12:07You raise the man and
12:09celebrate him.
12:11Every heroine has a story.
12:13I know.
12:15Those heroines
12:17sit next to me and we sit like this.
12:19That is
12:21what I see as a failure.
12:23On this side,
12:25Sunitha Williams
12:27is sitting in the space.
12:29On this side,
12:31Kamala Harris is running for president.
12:33We are still
12:35talking about such shameful things.
12:37I think that is a failure
12:39in society and for women.
12:41Question from the audience.
12:49If he doesn't know, he doesn't know.
12:51If he knows, he will tell.
12:55Sir, I would like to say
12:57one more thing.
13:01Your silence
13:03is wrong.
13:05Your silence
13:07is like, why should I say this?
13:09What should I say?
13:11What answer should I give?
13:13I don't have to say anything.
13:15To protect these women,
13:17I will sit with everyone
13:19and work properly.
13:21If I say one word,
13:23those affected women
13:25may have a sister or an unknown face.
13:27But she is a woman.
13:29She is a woman in your fraternity.
13:33I know every character
13:35who has been affected.
13:37Every artist knows.
13:39Every director knows.
13:41Whether they know or not,
13:43if they say one word
13:45to the affected woman,
13:47she will be truly happy.
13:49She will be happy.
13:51I told this to my husband.
13:53Of course, he is working on
13:55how to give a political correction.
13:59He is not a member of the actors' association.
14:01He has been removed.
14:03They have to restate it.
14:05I said, I don't know.
14:09I didn't say, I didn't do it.
14:11I said, I don't know.
14:13Basically,
14:15if everyone raises their voice,
14:17you don't have to raise it in public.
14:19If you don't like to speak in public,
14:21because if you speak in media,
14:23I think a lot of people will feel uncomfortable.
14:25They will misconstitute me.
14:27What headline will you post?
14:29What headline will you post?
14:31I don't watch all this.
14:33Radhika challenged Vishal.
14:35Radhika challenged Vishal.
14:37She challenged him.
14:39What is this?
14:41You posted a dance hook.
14:43A dance hook that we don't do.
14:45What hook?
14:47I am asking,
14:49what is the crux of the matter?
14:51You all have sisters.
14:53You all have a mother,
14:55a sister, a wife.
14:57Please understand.
14:59My personal life,
15:01or another actor's personal life.
15:03She is there.
15:05Who are they?
15:07What is this?
15:09Rubbish.
15:11Why don't you stand up?
15:13You stand up for us.
15:15You as a fourth estate,
15:17you all should stand up for us.
15:19It is wrong to talk about a woman like this.
15:21Because news is different.
15:23You are a fourth estate.
15:25You are telling a news.
15:27It is wrong.
15:29It is wrong to say this.
15:31You all should stand up for us.
15:33Change the society.
15:35Sorry.
15:37I feel like I am taking a class.
15:39Next.
15:43Yes.
15:53Nazar sir,
15:55Nazar sir called me and told me
15:57that there is a meeting like this.
15:59I asked you one thing.
16:01You have to speak on both sides.
16:03Nazar.
16:05What is the matter?
16:07What is the matter?
16:09What is the matter?
16:11Expenses are high.
16:13Caravan is high.
16:15Caravan should be given to everyone.
16:17Because in some places,
16:19there is no facility.
16:21Where should the expenses be reduced?
16:23You are giving us more salary.
16:27I will fight with my husband.
16:29You are getting more salary than us.
16:31You are getting more facilities than us.
16:33You all should stand up for us.
16:35Please fight for us.
16:37I will ask you one thing.
16:39All this is said by the producers.
16:41Expenses should be increased.
16:43Who is spending?
16:45Who is spending?
16:47Are the actors spending?
16:49No. Producers are spending.
16:51Producers should make a rule.
16:53Everyone should give a call sheet to the hero.
16:55You should give the salary they are asking for.
16:57You should give the salary they are asking for.
16:59When you are going to complain,
17:01you should complain honestly.
17:03I don't want to get into that.
17:05I don't want to get into that.
17:07I know the industry and the workings.
17:09I am also a producer.
17:11Practically,
17:13all the unions
17:15are talking about the salary increase.
17:17There are so many crafts.
17:19There are 21 crafts.
17:21How many crafts are there?
17:23There are 24 crafts.
17:25In those 24 crafts,
17:27who should provide security?
17:29A fighter should have insurance.
17:31Life insurance should be there.
17:33Medical insurance should be there.
17:35Medical insurance for others.
17:37Come to the solution.
17:39Everyone should work for the solution.
17:41I told this to Nazar sir.
17:43Do like this.
17:45You want to give to a hero.
17:47You want to give to a hero.
17:49You think this is fair.
17:51You should give.
17:53How you should produce for others?
17:55I am not saying this out of pride.
17:57I acted in a film abroad.
17:59If we do 10% of the planning there,
18:01If we do 10% of the planning there,
18:03we will save a lot of money.
18:05Directors
18:07take a shot
18:09in 20 different places.
18:11Why are you overshooting them?
18:13Why are you overshooting them?
18:15Ask them.
18:17Who will ask?
18:19Actors will ask.
18:21There is no monitor when we act.
18:23There is no monitor when we act.
18:25We don't go to see the monitor.
18:27Today, everyone
18:29is standing in front of the monitor.
18:31is standing in front of the monitor.
18:33They are rewinding it.
18:35I am also watching it from there.
18:37This activity takes 45 minutes.
18:39This activity takes 45 minutes.
18:41This activity takes 45 minutes.
18:43That 45 minutes
18:45is time spent.
18:47Calculate
18:49what you spend for one hour.
18:51You give the unit, generator,
18:53data, everything.
18:55That one hour is gone.
18:57After the camera is set up,
18:59then give the monitor.
19:01The captain of the ship
19:03is the director.
19:05If the director agrees,
19:07no one should speak.
19:09That is how we do cinema.
19:11That is how we do cinema.
19:13I have never seen the monitor.
19:15I have never seen the monitor.
19:17I just check if my make-up is okay.
19:19I just check if my make-up is okay.
19:21I will ask others to match.
19:23If the director is okay,
19:25I won't open my mouth.
19:27I won't open my mouth.
19:29That is how we grew up.
19:31I have worked with Bharathi Raja.
19:33I have worked with K. Vishwanath.
19:35I have worked with big directors.
19:37They have an editing table here.
19:39I asked Mani Ratnam sir,
19:41I asked Mani Ratnam sir,
19:43what is this?
19:45I can't understand this concept.
19:47I can't understand this concept.
19:49He said,
19:51they must not be knowing their jobs.
19:53Who is this?
19:55Should the artist association answer?
19:57Should the artist association answer?
19:59Please understand,
20:01everyone is sitting and talking.
20:03This is a film fraternity.
20:05This is a separate industry.
20:07This is a big industry.
20:09Everyone is sitting and talking.
20:11There are many dialogues in this.
20:13This is a film fraternity.
20:15This is a film fraternity.
20:17This is a film fraternity.
20:19There are many expenses.
20:21They are coming from satellites.
20:23They are coming from OTT.
20:25There are no distributors.
