00:00Well, I did work on The Family Man with them and the first day I remember crying.
00:13This is seeming like a very recurring thing.
00:15They make all of the actors cry on the first day.
00:18The first day.
00:19The only person who smiled was me.
00:21Please do clarify that we didn't make you cry, it was the character.
00:26Do you know when I tell people that Raji, my character, I shot for The Family Man for 18 days.
00:32That's it?
00:33Wow.
00:34Only for one day, 18 days.
00:35That's damn good.
00:36All of the action, everything.
00:37And I shot in Chennai for like, okay, for 18 days.
00:42No.
00:4318 days.
00:44How many hours a day were it?
00:4523.
00:4623 hours a day.
00:47That's what they do.
00:48Usually one hour.
00:49It's for a slight nap.
00:50They'll quote it like that.
00:52Okay, sorry, sorry.
00:53How many hours a day?
00:54Definitely 12 hours.
00:5512 hours.
00:5612 hours a day.
00:57We always shoot 12 hours.
00:5812 hours a day.
00:59You said 10, she's saying 12.
01:00No, 12.
01:0112 hours.
01:0212 hours is the shift but for actors, they come late, they leave early, they forget everything.
01:05I shot 12 hours every single day.
01:0812 hours.
01:09Yeah, yeah, Family Man, we shot pretty much 7 to 7.
01:12Yeah, but you know, after, so first I complained and complained and cried and complained.
01:17But now, I don't know any other way to work.
01:21Because they have, they made me like this work horse, I think, that I, if I'm sitting
01:27around doing nothing, I'm actually way more agitated than I am doing a lot of work.
01:34So, they've made me, they've changed my whole personality.
01:37Changed you.
01:38Yeah, so I'm used to now.
01:40We worked, we did like some 3-4 scenes in a day.
01:44Yeah, 3-4 scenes, but I don't think I've worked more than 8 to 9 hours on this series.
01:48There were many days in Serbia which were lighter days, 100%.
01:51Serbia was the easiest.
01:53Even in Bombay, I think, when we were shooting in Mud Island and all.
01:56You won't feel it, you won't feel that.
01:58The action days felt long.
02:00Only the action days, they went long.
02:01Of course, they'll feel long.
02:02But, just for the record, we never shoot more than 12 hours.
02:0512 hours is the shift and by the time things start to happen and start to finish, it effectively
02:11is a 10-hour shooting day with a 1-hour lunch break.
02:13That's the typical day.
02:14At least they're giving you a lunch break.
02:16Then Vijay Sethupathi cries as well.
02:20Vijay Sethupathi's problem was...
02:24Maybe this is true for Samantha also, they're used to 8-hour shooting days.
02:27Oh, yeah, yeah.
02:29No, at least when we shoot 18 hours.
02:31No, South is all 9 to 5.
02:33I've shot like 9 to 5.
02:349 to 6.
02:35No, you all must be talking about Telugu film industry.
02:37Tamil film industry makes you shoot 18 hours.
02:40No, I don't know.
02:41Not 18 hours.
02:4218 hours I've shot.
02:43They've not given me lunch break also.
02:44See, now this question is...
02:47They thought you didn't know anything and convinced you that it's 18 hours.
02:50This is not even going on the thing.
