00:00Do you know the words like cringe, boomer?
00:03Yes, I know cringe.
00:04Hello!
00:05Hey, this is a generation.
00:09When were you born?
00:102001
00:112000?
00:122000
00:132000
00:14I don't know.
00:16What is riz?
00:17Huh?
00:17Riz, riz.
00:18Riz.
00:18Riz.
00:19It's not criz.
00:19Riz.
00:20Where are you from?
00:22Sorry.
00:22No, no, no.
00:23What's the other one?
00:24What?
00:25New England.
00:25New England.
00:26Pouting, right?
00:27No.
00:28That's your generation.
00:292000.
00:31It's okay.
00:32Let him go.
00:33Many people ask why we don't see him in movies.
00:37What is it that we don't see?
00:40Basically, I don't know.
00:42I'm not a person who releases every week.
00:45I mean, when Vikramadityan does those movies,
00:48I don't look at the filmography.
00:51He is the director who molded me the most,
00:54understood my worst side,
00:56and made me unlearn.
00:58He is not just a director,
01:00he is also a person who prepares actors.
01:03I've heard that you are very energetic on set.
01:08At first, I used to laugh and talk to everyone easily.
01:14We have that vibe.
01:16Bro, is it okay?
01:18Yeah, alright bro.
01:19We have that vibe.
01:24Hi, hello viewers.
01:25Welcome to our show, Untold Vidhaji.
01:26We have Anika Suryanarayan with us today.
01:31Welcome to both of you.
01:33What is the lesson that cinema has taught you all these years?
01:37Patience.
01:39Patience.
01:41A lot of things.
01:43We grew up in cinema.
01:46Literally, my growing phase was in cinema.
01:50Patience, hard work,
01:54never giving up.
01:56The desire to act in cinema is not enough.
02:00Even when you are not doing cinema,
02:02you have to work for it.
02:03A lot of things like that.
02:04Personally as well as professionally.
02:07What would it be?
02:09Understanding people.
02:12Like you said, not giving up.
02:17When did you meet for the first time?
02:19When did your friendship start?
02:20Not friendship.
02:21We have seen each other somewhere before.
02:24We have seen each other somewhere.
02:26When we started talking more,
02:28the cup settled.
02:30It was our first day of shooting together.
02:34We saw each other during practice.
02:36We instantly vibed.
02:37That's how it started.
02:39When you act with a cup for the first time,
02:41what would be your impression about him?
02:45About Anika?
02:46No, generally about a person.
02:49Now we are acting with a star.
02:54It could be an actor or an actress.
02:57Everyone is like that.
02:59It is the same thought process
03:01we have seen in interviews and cinema.
03:05But I feel many are very different from that.
03:08Like ordinary people,
03:10when we act in cinema,
03:12we see everyone for meetings and all that.
03:15But other than that,
03:17everyone is like a normal person.
03:19This person will be like this.
03:21He will behave like this.
03:23He will talk well.
03:26Very normal.
03:27Just like a normal person.
03:29Do you have a first impression?
03:36Like you said,
03:37in cinema and interviews,
03:39people might not be like that.
03:41I don't have any expectations.
03:45I will be like, wow, cool.
03:49Cup is a sports drama.
03:51What is your role in that?
03:55I am a coach in Cup.
03:57I am a badminton coach.
03:59Actually, it is a film about badminton.
04:02Matthew is Matthew's dream.
04:04We are going to pursue that dream.
04:06We all support Matthew.
04:10My coach trains them.
04:12But during the shoot,
04:14we all train together.
04:16It is badminton, right?
04:18I don't think I am a trained player.
04:21As everyone knows,
04:23during school time,
04:25we play P.T.
04:27I know how to play without missing out.
04:30I don't know the rules and regulations.
04:34I am a coach.
04:36I give emotional support to them.
04:39I mold the kids.
04:41That is my role.
04:45Is there a badminton coaching in the film?
04:48It is not badminton coaching.
04:50Did they teach you how to play?
04:52Yes, they taught me a little.
04:54The basic rules,
04:56how to hold the bat correctly.
04:58It is necessary for a film.
05:00I couldn't learn much about technique.
05:02I was in the middle of a shoot.
05:04But they taught me as much as I could.
05:08What about you?
05:11For me,
05:12Namchechi's coaching...
05:14I mean,
05:16Mathew and I come under her team.
05:18I am one of the players there.
05:20I support Mathew.
05:22That is my character.
05:24When you narrate a new concept
05:26of a film,
05:28what is the first impression?
05:30Do you feel uncertain
05:32about how you will fit in?
05:36When I hear the story,
05:38I wonder if it entertains me.
05:40If I listen to the entire story
05:42without falling asleep,
05:44I feel it is workable.
05:46When I listen to a story,
05:48like I said in previous interviews,
05:50after a few days,
05:52if I remember the story,
05:54the plot,
05:56I feel it has an essence.
05:58It works for me.
06:02If I like the story,
06:04I ask to read the script.
06:06If I don't like it,
06:08if it doesn't work for me,
06:10I openly say it doesn't work for me.
06:12But if it works for me,
06:14it may not work for others.
06:16We don't know about cinema.
06:18We all work hard.
06:20It is a team effort.
06:24It is not just one person's hard work.
06:26It is a team effort.
06:28Finally, it reaches the audience.
06:30I always say in cinema,
06:32I see cinema as an art form.
06:34Business is very important.
06:36But for me, as a performer,
06:38cinema is art.
06:42We have a short segment.
06:44I will answer quickly.
06:46After becoming an entrepreneur,
06:48has the number of people
06:50asking for loans increased?
06:52No. No one asks me for loans.
06:54I don't know.
06:56I think I am a bit stingy.
06:58I don't ask for loans.
07:00Does anyone ask for loans?
07:02My friends ask for loans.
07:04But they don't ask for lakhs.
07:06They ask for 50 rupees loan.
07:08What can I give them?
07:12The number of movies
07:14that are similar to yours,
07:16I have to avoid.
07:18Movies that are similar to yours?
07:22Not really, actually.
07:24I haven't said no
07:26to many movies.
07:28Have you ever
07:30driven a dog in a movie?
07:32Yes, there was a story like that.
07:34It was said at that time.
07:38Me, Venu uncle, Nivin chettan,
07:40Siddharth Shiva and
07:42Dharmarajan chettan
07:44were in a combination.
07:46But I don't remember the story.
07:48It happened.
07:50Actually, we drove a dog.
07:52It didn't stop.
07:54Dharmarajan and I
07:56used to chase it.
07:58We chased it.
08:00You don't remember?
08:02No, I don't remember.
08:04It happened many years ago.
08:06Have you seen my old interview?
08:08No, no.
08:12I forgot.
08:14What do people feel
08:16when they call you baby?
08:18I'm very happy
08:20only with that.
08:22It's still leaving an impression
08:24on me.
08:26I learned swimming
08:28from Kumarakam Kayal.
08:30It's not Kumarakam Kayal.
08:32It's Vemanadu Kayal.
08:34I see.
08:36We have
08:38a river there.
08:40Kumarakam.
08:42Kumarakam is basically a backwater channel.
08:44My father is from Kumarakam.
08:46My father swims a lot.
08:48A lot.
08:50No matter how long it is.
08:52My family swims well.
08:54But I didn't know how to swim.
08:56I was scared.
08:58I had to study for a film.
09:00My father taught me
09:02the basics.
09:04We don't learn a lot
09:06when our family teaches us.
09:08So I went to another class.
09:10I learned the basics
09:12from there.
09:14Do you still want to be a teacher?
09:18I love teaching.
09:20I wanted to be a teacher.
09:22I learned it from there.
09:24But now,
09:26I don't really want to be a teacher.
09:30I love to teach.
09:32My sisters
09:34will teach me everything
09:36except maths.
09:38But now,
09:40I want to be a teacher.
09:42I love teaching,
09:44but I want to be a professional teacher.
09:46Is Mallu Singh and Pranayam
09:48a film that you wanted to do?
09:52I didn't want to do it.
09:54I was asked to do it.
09:58I was asked to do it
10:00when I came to Antwerp.
10:02I had to fill in the boards.
10:04I had to fill in the boards
10:06from 8th to 9th.
10:08I couldn't do it then.
10:12What is the best quality
10:14that you can get
10:16from an entrepreneur?
10:20For me,
10:22this whole entrepreneur thing
10:24is something that I look up to a lot.
10:26I think it's very cool.
10:28When you're doing cinema,
10:30you're putting that money into something else.
10:32But as an entrepreneur,
10:34I don't know what to do.
10:36We don't talk about it.
10:38We don't talk about it.
10:40We don't have that vibe.
10:42We don't have that vibe.
10:44We talk as if we're friends.
10:46That's why I'm so
10:48elderly.
10:50In the summer,
10:52I used to come to a cafe
10:54and post a story
10:56and promote it.
10:58I don't know what to do
11:00with the person
11:02whom I promoted Pranayam.
11:04Our relationship was not like that.
11:08I feel very embarrassed
11:10when I post a story to a person
11:12without asking them.
11:14But don't they have a thing
11:16like if you come to a cafe
11:18from time to time,
11:20there will be a celebrity there.
11:22Do they have such things in cafes now?
11:24I don't know about that.
11:26But there are a lot of people
11:28who have met me when I was there.
11:30There are people who say they liked the food.
11:32We have an office space
11:34upstairs.
11:36My father and I sit there.
11:38I go there weekly
11:40for 2-3 days.
11:42My father is always there.
11:44When I sit there,
11:46if someone asks me to meet them,
11:48I'll go and meet them.
11:50There are a lot of families
11:52who love each other.
11:54Not only in Kochi,
11:56there are people from Trissur
11:58and Angamaly.
12:02How did you manage
12:04the tension of being an entrepreneur?
12:06It's stressful.
12:08But I have a proper team.
12:10That's why it's not a problem.
12:12My father is managing
12:14Summertown,
12:16Menswear, Paprika,
12:18I'm having a partner.
12:20It's not that stressful
12:22because it's segregated.
12:24But if I had done it alone,
12:26it would have been very difficult.
12:28A lot of people ask
12:30what we don't see
12:32in movies.
12:34What is it
12:36that you don't see?
12:38Actually,
12:40it's only been a few days
12:42since my Kalidas movie was released.
12:44After that, I was working.
12:46I have 3-4 movies to release.
12:48I don't have a proper time
12:50to release the movies.
12:52I was working only.
12:54Do people ask you
12:56when you release a movie?
12:58What's the release date?
13:00Basically, I don't know.
13:02I'm not someone
13:04who releases every week.
13:06When Vikramadityan releases a movie,
13:08I look at the filmography.
13:10This is the year I've done the most movies.
13:12This is the year I've done the most.
13:14When I was in school,
13:16when I was in college,
13:18I've only done
13:202-3 movies in a year.
13:22I haven't done that much.
13:24This is the year
13:26I've done the most movies.
13:28I've completed the shoot
13:30Do you have a genre?
13:32Do you have a genre?
13:34What's the best sports drama
13:36you've seen?
13:38I don't watch a lot of films.
13:40Which one?
13:42Amir Khan.
13:44Dungal.
13:46I love that film.
13:48Dungal is another emotion.
13:50Dungal is another emotion.
13:52What's your favorite sports?
13:54I like Dungal.
13:56King Richard.
13:58It's an emotional film.
14:00It's an emotional film.
14:02It's not just sports.
14:04It's not just sports.
14:06It's an emotional film.
14:08It's an emotional film.
14:10I like Dungal.
14:12I like Mary too.
14:14I like Mary too.
14:16When I did an ad,
14:18I was working with
14:20I was working with
14:221983
14:24That's considered sports only.
14:26That's considered sports only.
14:28At the time of the ad,
14:30Mary Komenda is a cinematographer.
14:32She's from Jaipur.
14:34I worked with her.
14:36I really liked the work.
14:38It's for an ad.
14:40It's for an ad.
14:42The team was great.
14:44I was very happy.
14:46The team was great.
14:48The team was great.
14:50The team was great.
14:52The coach had a lot of importance.
14:54The coach had a lot of importance.
14:56I really liked the dialogues.
14:58When Sanju narrated it,
15:00When Sanju narrated it,
15:02he was very emotional.
15:04A coach is not just
15:06a coach.
15:08A coach is not just
15:10a coach.
15:12There are many aspects.
15:14There are many aspects.
15:16Dialogues are very powerful.
15:18Dialogues are very powerful.
15:20The birds that wish for the sky
15:22are the shuttlecock.
15:24There are many such dialogues.
15:26There are many such dialogues.
15:28In a movie,
15:30there is a lot of uncertainty.
15:32We don't know when we'll be successful.
15:34We don't know when we'll get a constant income.
15:36We can never predict when we'll be famous.
15:38We can never predict when we'll be famous.
15:40But the mind process of an actor
15:42is very important.
15:44We should be mentally prepared.
15:46We should be mentally prepared.
15:48How do you prepare mentally
15:50for a movie,
15:52for its success and failures?
15:54Me?
15:56Actually,
15:58I know many people
16:00who struggle.
16:02As I said earlier,
16:04it's uncertain.
16:06I don't have a job.
16:08How will I earn?
16:10I know many people who think like that.
16:12I feel I'm very lucky
16:14because I didn't struggle a lot
16:16when I was a kid.
16:18But the process of standing in a movie
16:20is very difficult.
16:22Standing for so many years.
16:24As an actor,
16:26Siddharth Siva molded me the most.
16:28It was an academic kind of movie.
16:30The movie that gave me the best
16:32was Lalu Uncle.
16:34It was Lalu Uncle.
16:36It was a break.
16:38But as an actor,
16:40he molded me the most.
16:42He understood my worst side
16:44and made me unlearn.
16:48He is not just a director,
16:50he is also a person who prepares actors.
16:52My performance has changed
16:54from that.
16:56Not only while making a movie,
16:58but also while not making a movie,
17:00the more we mingle with people,
17:02the more our observation increases.
17:04Observation is what an actor
17:06needs the most.
17:10Even when we are not making a movie,
17:12we need to work emotionally.
17:16Do you have a mental process
17:18while preparing for a role?
17:20For a role?
17:22Yes.
17:24When you hear the script,
17:26you will have an understanding
17:28of what it is.
17:30You need to understand what
17:32the director says.
17:34Observe people,
17:36understand the script
17:38and the situation it is in.
17:40I have heard that you
17:42are very energetic
17:44in the set.
17:46I have read a lot about you.
17:48Is it easier to work
17:50with such a co-star?
17:54It is not like that.
17:56Each one does their own job.
17:58In the beginning,
18:00I used to easily
18:02talk to everyone
18:04while acting.
18:06But now, my process is different.
18:08I work and work and work.
18:10I sit in a certain mood and work.
18:12I change according to the situation.
18:14If it is a happy scene,
18:16I talk to everyone
18:18and have fun.
18:20But if it is a challenging scene,
18:22I sit in my space and work.
18:24All the actors are
18:26very flexible.
18:28There is no problem.
18:32Is there comedy in this?
18:34Yes, there is.
18:36Is Karakashakari Yasha
18:38a coach?
18:40No, he is not.
18:42He is soft, strict
18:44but nice.
18:46He is a coach who says thoughtful things.
18:48Is he a motivator?
18:50Yes, he is very motivating but in a soft way.
18:52Is there motivation in real life?
18:54Is he a motivator?
18:56There is no point in giving
18:58more advice.
19:00Actually,
19:02I don't think so.
19:04Everyone's life is different.
19:06When we were in school,
19:08we have heard
19:10a lot of advice and motivation.
19:12But,
19:14personally, in person,
19:16I mostly learn
19:18from my experiences.
19:20I have learned by making mistakes.
19:22It is nice to hear motivation.
19:24But, in person,
19:26I follow that motivation for two days.
19:28Then I forget.
19:30Even though she is not motivated,
19:32it is very motivating, honestly.
19:36The fact that you have experienced life
19:38and
19:40when you talk to her, you will understand that.
19:46What is the worst criticism you have heard in your life?
19:48Worst criticism?
19:50There are two types of criticism.
19:52It is not constrictive.
19:54It has nothing to do with it.
19:56Have you heard such a great criticism?
19:58Actually,
20:00we keep it in mind.
20:02But,
20:04whatever we say in a good way,
20:06it might be interpreted in a bad way.
20:08Yes.
20:10For example,
20:12whatever a person wears,
20:14whatever she or he wears,
20:16it is their choice,
20:18isn't it?
20:20Some people are always
20:22criticized.
20:24There are
20:26individual spaces.
20:28I don't listen to such things.
20:30I don't read such things.
20:32Constrictive criticism
20:34is enough.
20:36I keep an eye on it.
20:38Isn't it?
20:40Yes.
20:42What is the worst
20:44constrictive criticism
20:46you have heard?
20:48My biggest criticism,
20:50I would say, is myself and my mom.
20:52If I don't like it,
20:54my mom would say,
20:56you didn't do it right.
20:58You should have said this.
21:00My mom is like that.
21:02I am like that because of my mom.
21:04As you said,
21:06on September 27th,
21:08you are releasing in the
21:10CUP theatre.
21:12Do you have a high tension
21:14on the release day?
21:16In the beginning, I didn't have any tension.
21:18Now, I don't have any tension.
21:20I am in Zen mode.
21:22I just look at the reviews.
21:24That's all.
21:26If people say that
21:28my acting is bad,
21:30my dialogue presentation is bad,
21:32I would say that.
21:34I would look at the reviews and understand.
21:36Now, I don't have
21:38any tension.
21:42I would like to ask you something.
21:44In the last test of PT sir,
21:46you were very excited.
21:48How did you feel
21:50when you heard that?
21:52Unfortunately, I didn't watch the movie
21:54in the theatre.
21:56I had some work in Kochi.
21:58I couldn't go and see it there.
22:00But, I heard that the response
22:02was very good.
22:04How is the process of
22:06making a Tamil movie?
22:10Tamil is not a procedure
22:12in any language.
22:14I hear that the script is good,
22:16the cast is good,
22:18and it is interesting.
22:20How did you narrate it?
22:24I acted and narrated it.
22:28Have you heard of the Golden Sparrow trend?
22:30No.
22:32Actually,
22:34I am just surprised. I don't know.
22:36I think nobody sees my Instagram in general.
22:38I think no one sees it.
22:40Sorry.
22:44There is a trend now.
22:46To make a movie hit on Instagram.
22:48Yes, I have seen it.
22:50Isn't it like this?
22:52To make a movie hit on Instagram,
22:54everyone does it.
22:56Isn't it like that?
22:58Don't you do anything like that?
23:00Everyone is doing it now.
23:02But,
23:04isn't it like that?
23:06Not like that.
23:08Now,
23:10Dhanush sir's movie is
23:12a completely different world.
23:14It is very over dramatic.
23:16Not over dramatic, but in general,
23:18it is a big world.
23:20It is not like that.
23:22There is no need for that.
23:24Don't you see those promotions?
23:26Variety promotions.
23:28Don't they pop up on social media?
23:30With views and all.
23:32I have seen the reels.
23:34I am not a reel addict.
23:36I am more of a,
23:38cooking reel.
23:40Even I watch a lot of cooking reels.
23:42Have you seen satisfying
23:44cleaning videos?
23:46Yes.

23:52I have bought an air fryer.
23:56I don't know, but
23:58those videos,
24:00or podcasts,
24:02those kind of videos.
24:04Cooking videos are good.
24:06Low calorie shakes,
24:08smoothies.
24:10When you add ice cubes,
24:12it will be good.
24:14How to make chilli chutney?
24:16With hot rice.

24:26Shallots and chillies.
24:28You can have it with hot rice.
24:34Do you know the words
24:36cringe boomer?

24:44Actually, when I asked

24:48when it was in Zen mode,
24:50it was cringy.
24:52Zen mode is not like that.

26:24I need to update a bit next time.
26:26Why don't you call yourself Gen Z?
26:28I am not saying that I am Gen Z.
26:30It's in between.
26:32If it's 2000, it's 100% Gen Z.
26:34No.
26:362000 borns are always privileged.
26:38They have all the advantages
26:40of 90s.
26:42They have all the
26:44advantages of Gen Z.
26:46That's why I said it.
