Short filmTranscript
00:00Ladies and gentlemen, I'm a little nervous.
00:09I just met Keecha Sudeep's bodyguard and when we shook hands, I wasn't on the floor anymore.
00:15I was mid-air.
00:16So, yes, I'm a little scared for this interview.
00:19Hi, sir.
00:21I'm a little scared.
00:25Hello, sir.
00:26Hi, what's up?
00:27Nice to meet you.
00:28Hey, come.
00:29What's up?
00:30A lot of bodyguards, sir.
00:31I'm a little nervous right now.
00:32Do you need one?
00:33Yeah, I'd like one, actually.
00:34Yes, ladies and gentlemen, we are with the Keecha Sudeep.
00:35We're in his, at the hotel that he's staying.
00:36Sir has flown in from Delhi, Pune.
00:37So, we're going to meet him now.
00:38So, let's go.
00:39Hello, sir.
00:40Hi, what's up?
00:41Nice to meet you.
00:42Hey, come.
00:43What's up?
00:44A lot of bodyguards, sir.
00:45I'm a little nervous right now.
00:46Do you need one?
00:47Yeah, I'd like one, actually.
00:48Yes, ladies and gentlemen, we are with the Keecha Sudeep.
00:51We're in his, at the hotel that he's staying.
00:54Sir has flown in from Delhi for some movie promotions.
00:57So, thank you for taking the time to do this.
00:59Sir, my pleasure, sir.
01:00So, I've rehearsed this and come.
01:03Okay.
01:04Nanu Nimmana Prathisthini.
01:05Nanu Nimmana Prathisthini.
01:06Prathisthini.
01:07Oh, I love you too, sir.
01:08How is that?
01:09The pronunciation is good?
01:10Yes.
01:11Thank you, thank you.
01:12That's sweet of you.
01:13Yeah, yeah.
01:14I take the time for my guests.
01:15How long did you practice?
01:17It took me around three to four days.
01:20Okay.
01:21Sir, so, your name, Keecha Sudeep, it wasn't the one that was given to you at birth.
01:28There's a story there.
01:29Can you tell the viewers how that name came to be?
01:32I think this is, you must have heard this film called Kere Naam.
01:37So, it was a remake of our film, which I did in 2001.
01:41It was released, it's called Hucha.
01:44So, in that Hucha, there's a character, it's a long, elaborated name, but in short, all
01:49the friends keep calling me Keecha.
01:51There's a scene also which elaborates and says, you know, what is the meaning of Keecha?
01:55That's what goes.
01:56So, people, I think when the film became a big, it became big, it was very huge, people
02:02were still not aware of my name, as in Sudeep.
02:05So, they started calling me Keecha.
02:07And it's been with me ever since, it's traveled with me ever since, Keecha.
02:11Nice, Keecha Sudeep.
02:13So, let's talk a little bit about your early days, childhood.
02:16You were a big cricket player, right?
02:18Tell us about when...
02:19Big because of my height?
02:21No, no, you were really good, that's what I'm calling.
02:23I was a long cricketer, not a big cricketer.
02:26I did play to a certain limitations, to a certain lines, and like, I played a little
02:32bit of under 17, under 19, kind of a pentangler, YMCA represented.
02:36See, but I guess, you know, that's where my talent ends.
02:39I strongly believe anything you honestly love will come back to you.
02:42So, it came back to me in the form of CCL.
02:44CCL, yeah.
02:45And we got to see a crowd, even which probably at that moment, state-level players also were
02:51not inexperienced.
02:53Right, yeah.
02:54We had 30,000, 40,000, 50,000.
02:57Brilliant.
02:58That was what India plays for, right?
03:00That crowd, that crowd.
03:01I guess it just came back to us and it has been with me, sir, I think.
03:06So, I see a lot of, like, you have a very athletic lifestyle.
03:08You also go to the gym a lot.
03:09Yeah.
03:10Are you very regular at the gym?
03:11Do you have a proper fitness?
03:12Yeah, yeah.
03:13I started very late though.
03:14I see.
03:15Very late.
03:16It's because of the Payal 1.
03:17I did a film called Payal 1, which demanded it.
03:19Once I started doing Payal 1 and I got used to that workouts, sir, I think it hooked on.
03:24You know, I started feeling good, feeling lighter.
03:27It was nothing to do with the six-packer.
03:28Right.
03:29The feeling of being light and the feeling good when you go to bed, wake up, and through
03:34the day you feel lesser gravity.
03:36You know, it's a great feeling.
03:38And then you don't need your bodyguards anymore, also, after that.
03:41No, he'll be there.
03:42He'll be around.
03:43He'll be around.
03:44He doesn't know what else to do.
03:45So, he is there.
03:46Nice.
03:47So, what about food, sir?
03:48Like, for a fitness regime, do you have a diet that matches that?
03:50What are you usually eating?
03:51I love what I eat.
03:53But it's very minimal.
03:54I don't…
03:55And I don't like sugar.
03:57Like, again, nothing to do with the diet.
03:59Just that sweetness, sweet things.
04:01Yeah.
04:02I'm not so…
04:03But surely you must have some delicacy from Bangalore, perhaps, that you crave?
04:07Craving is…
04:08Yeah.
04:09Like, yesterday, probably because I was in Delhi and I have a friend here who is a chef
04:14whose name is Shreyas.
04:15So, I called him and I said, can you make this gol gappa or something for me?
04:19Can you make this pani puri thing?
04:21So, he went.
04:22He especially made it.
04:24Wow.
04:25Then he came to the room and he was serving all of us.
04:27Okay.
04:28See, and I ended up with two or three.
04:30Oh, that's it.
04:31There was this many which came.
04:32Yeah.
04:33There was this many which came.
04:34Everybody else feasted.
04:35For me, three was, like, satisfied.
04:37Satisfied.
04:38Yeah.
04:39So, yeah.
04:40Nice.
04:41Well, sir, me being the sweet host that I am, I've actually brought you something.
04:44I've actually got you some Delhi special kachoris.
04:49I love kachoris.
04:50Yes.
04:51Okay.
04:52But that's a bite of it.
04:53Sure.
04:54But before I give it to you, sir…
04:55Give it, man.
04:56Sir, you have to earn it, sir.
04:57There's a segment, sir.
04:58And you have to win it and then these can be yours.
04:59I've already earned it, sir.
05:00It's already come here.
05:01Raise it here, sir.
05:02And once you win, it's all yours.
05:03Okay, let's go.
05:04Okay.
05:05Sir, so, are you familiar with internet slang?
05:08Gen Z slang?
05:09No.
05:10Okay, straight up answer.
05:11So, I'm going to quiz you on some of the phrases that the kids are using these days on the internet.
05:15Okay.
05:16I'll try my best.
05:17You just need to get one right.
05:18You're out to make me look like outdated, right?
05:19No, sir.
05:20Look at you.
05:21Look at that pose.
05:22That's got nothing to do with that.
05:23That's slang.
05:24Okay, my daughter also takes my trip.
05:25Okay, let's go.
05:26Okay, sir.
05:27So, you just have to get one right.
05:28One right.
05:29And this is all yours.
05:30One right.
05:31Yes.
05:32Okay.
05:33So, the first one is a phrase.
05:34Spill the tea.
05:35Like, I guess it's something like, okay, there's something you want to say.
05:41And there's a hesitation or whatever or somebody, maybe something of that sort and you're waiting
05:47and it's just, why don't you just…
05:48Close, sir.
05:49That's close.
05:50Tea means gossip.
05:51Yeah, I know.
05:52Yeah.
05:53So, it's like, spill the tea, man.
05:54Yeah.
05:55Spill it out.
05:56You know, it's okay.
05:57I can see that.
05:58I can see that you have to say it.
05:59You know, why don't you just…
06:00Spill the tea.
06:01Spill it out.
06:02Nailed it.
06:03Nice, nice.
06:04Okay.
06:05That's internet slang?
06:06Yeah.
06:07But it can be anybody's slang.
06:08Okay, anyway.
06:09You're doing great, sir.
06:10So, the second one is a stan.
06:11I already got one right.
06:12Okay.
06:13Yeah.
06:14No, I'll probably edit it out.
06:15Stan.
06:16Huh?
06:17Stan.
06:18No.
06:19No?
06:20Okay.
06:21So, Stan is an obsessed fan.
06:22Oh.
06:23So, Kichaswadeep has millions of stans.
06:24Okay.
06:25You can ask me the question again.
06:26I'll answer.
06:27No, sorry, sir.
06:28No second choice?
06:29Nope.
06:30And we can also use it as a verb.
06:31I can say, I stan Kichaswadeep.
06:32Oh.
06:33That also means that I'm such an obsessed fan.
06:34Okay.
06:35Stan.
06:36Stan.
06:37Yeah.
06:38S-T-A-N.
06:39Yep.
06:40Wow.
06:41Okay.
06:42I learned a word.
06:43Okay.
06:44Third one is salty.
06:45Salty?
06:46Yeah.
06:47Salty is not more salty.
06:48Okay.
06:49You're being a little harsh or you're being a…
06:53No, you're kind of…
06:57The correct meaning is petty.
06:58When someone's being better, it's like, dude, stop being so salty.
07:01That's when you'd say salty.
07:02I'll give you the…
07:03Well, okay.
07:04Sure, sure, sure.
07:05Okay.
07:06Okay.
07:07The last word is Addy.
07:08Addy?
07:09Hmm.
07:10Addy?
07:11Like addict?
07:12No.
07:13Okay.
07:14That's wrong.
07:15Addy is short for address.
07:16Address.
07:17Yes.
07:18Send me the Addy.
07:19Send me the Addy.
07:20That's how we would say that.
07:21So, I learned Addy.
07:22I learned Stan.
07:23Yes.
07:24Two important words.
07:25Yes.
07:26I think I almost got it.
07:27Will you be using this in your language?
07:29You will see it coming out now.
07:31I'll be waiting for somebody to speak so that I can…
07:33So, you can just say that.
07:34I love it.
07:35Yeah.
07:36Okay.
07:37Well, you got one right.
07:38So, as promised, some Delhi special kachoris for you, sir.
07:42Please enjoy.
07:43Thank you so much.
07:44You're also the host of Big Boss.
07:46Talk to us.
07:47How fun is shooting Big Boss?
07:49One thing about Big Boss is definitely it has calmed me down.
07:52Okay, yeah.
07:53Very much.
07:54So chaotic.
07:55Very much.
07:56Very much.
07:57So, even when there is bizarre things happening in front of you, your expression is…
08:01Okay, I get it.
08:03I get it.
08:04Every time there's something happening over there, I have a fraction of a second to react
08:10when people are talking to me on stage as to how I'm going to react to the happening
08:15there or what they're talking.
08:16Big Boss has improved my Twitter language.
08:18Okay.
08:19Alright.
08:20So, whenever I'm speaking, I know I have to say a few things, but then, how do you
08:25not be salty?
08:27Oh, he's a fast learner, ladies and gentlemen.
08:30So, like, what do you think it takes to become a winner?
08:33Do you think I could, you know, maybe be in Big Boss, sir?
08:37I don't know, sir.
08:39It takes a lot.
08:40Next, guys, we're going to do a rapid fire with Kicha Sudeep, sir.
08:44So, I want fast answers.
08:46I want.
08:47I want.

09:01Yeah.

09:14Okay.

09:22Grow up.
09:24What is your biggest pet peeve?
09:26No, I get up, I wake up in the morning mentally prepared for everything.
09:29For everything.
09:30So, nothing annoys you?
09:31Nothing.

09:39Oh, in Kannada, we have Vishnu Vardhan, sir.
09:43Have you ever bunked school to go for a movie?
09:45You're not going to ask me about actress?
09:47The whole world knows.
09:48No, but I…
09:49Okay.
09:50Who's your favorite actress?
09:51Kajol.
09:52How can you even ask?
09:53That's true.
09:54The whole world knows.

10:03Say, I love Brute in Kannada.
10:04I like Brute.
10:06There it is.
10:07Brute.
10:09I like you.
10:10Yes, yes.
10:11I like you, Brute.
10:13Nailed it.
10:14Sir, shall we go for a walk now?
10:15Yes, please come.
10:16Let's go.
10:17Come.
10:20So, yes, Mr. Neha, where are you from?
10:22You're from Delhi?
10:23I'm from Kerala, sir.
10:24I flew…
10:25Are you from Malayalam?
10:26Yes, sir.
10:27I speak Malayalam, sir.
10:28I haven't forgotten Malayalam.
10:30Why are you shouting about that?
10:32This Malayalam…
10:33My Malayalam…
10:35Sir, you're sprinting, sir.
10:36I can't even keep up with you.
10:38I'll jog with him.
10:40My wife is a Keralite.
10:41Really?
10:42Yes, she's from…
10:43Born and brought up in Bangalore, but from Alleppey.
10:45Parents are from Alleppey.
10:47Sir, so, like, how good is your Malayalam, sir?
10:49Fantastic.
10:50You just need to understand, sir.
10:52Your upcoming movie, Vikrant Rona.
10:55There it is.
10:56Talk…
10:57Tell us, sir, how did you prepare for this role?
10:59It's a fiction, thriller, mystery, action.
11:01But it's something you'll like.
11:03It's a very new genre.
11:04It's a new content that you'll love.
11:06Okay.
11:07Definitely.
11:08I'm excited for it, yes.
11:09You're going to watch it in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, English.
11:11For you, I'll watch it in all of them.
11:13But firstly, Kannada, for sure.
11:14Kannada?
11:15Yeah.
11:16Watch it in Malayalam also.
11:17Okay.
11:18Probably.
11:19I'm buying you a ticket right now.
11:20You heard him, guys.
11:21He's buying me a ticket.
11:22Sir, so, the last thing for a segment.
11:24So, I wanted to show you some of your older photos.
11:26Yes.
11:27And just get you to react to them.
11:28Done.
11:29Tell us what was happening.
11:30Oh, this is on the set of Dabangg.
11:33Yeah.
11:34So, he carries a gym wherever he goes.
11:36And you can see the depth of the gym.
11:38Yeah.
11:39That's the gym he carries.
11:40When I say Salman carries a gym, it's not just a few dumbbells.
11:43No, no.
11:44This is the whole room he carries.
11:45Lovely.
11:46And then, what's happening here, sir?
11:48What are you whispering?
11:49This is not whispering.
11:50This is giving a peck on my friend's head.
11:53Okay.
11:54Jen and Ritesh, they were at my place.
11:56They were dining.
11:57So, these people are hardcore vegans.
11:59So, I arranged a good dinner for them.
12:01And they're the sweetest friends I have.
12:03And I think the sweetest couple ever.
12:05They're so down to earth, both of them.
12:07This is a moment at my place in Bangalore.
12:09Sir, and…
12:10This is the favourite, sir.
12:12This is my life's most precious gift ever.
12:15Kapil sir has just made 175 bats exactly.
12:19And one of the bats even went for more than 80 to 85 lakh auction.
12:23So, that's the price of that bat.
12:25So, the 117th bat belongs to me.
12:28Okay.
12:29So, he…
12:30In fact, when we met, I told him how he had carried me when I was a child.
12:36When I went to take a picture and I cried because my camera wasn't working.
12:39Okay.
12:40So, on the set of…
12:41On the occasion of 83 pre-release event at Bangalore,
12:45I narrated this and I told him, sir, I waited all these years for a picture.
12:49So, you know.
12:50That's so sweet.
12:51That story is the perfect place to end this interview.
12:54Thank you so much, sir.
12:56I hope I will see you again, maybe in Big Boss.
12:58You never know.
12:59Yes, sir.
13:00And I'll be waiting for my movie ticket.
13:03Thank you, sir.
13:04All the best.
