00:00Forgive me, I'll speak in Hindi.
00:02My Hindi is not good.
00:04No, no, you speak in English.
00:05Still, I'll try.
00:07Easiest thing in this movie is that gay they left.
00:09They'll not be South actors, North actors.
00:11It'll all be about Indian cinema growing.
00:31Forgive me, I'll speak in Hindi.
00:33My Hindi is not good.
00:35No, no, you speak in English.
00:37Still, I'll try.
00:39You know that I have an accent in Hindi, South accent.
00:41Still, I'll try and speak to you in Hindi.
00:43Madam ji, all actors can come.
00:47There are so many talented actors in Hindi cinema.
00:50You know, the whole of national cinema.
00:52All people can come.
00:54They can take pictures and come to South
00:56and promote it.
00:58They can come to South, promote it, dub it.
01:00All actors, they all do phenomenal.
01:02In each genre, they do great pictures.
01:04We welcome everyone.
01:06No, personally, if you want to do it,
01:08which actor and which Bollywood film
01:10would you like to remake?
01:12Remake?
01:14You personally.
01:16I haven't done a remake yet, madam.
01:18I'm scared.
01:24I'm scared to do a remake.
01:26I haven't done it yet.
01:28I'm not saying that I won't do it.
01:30I haven't done it yet.
01:32I'm a little scared to do it.
01:34That's why I stay away from remakes.
01:38You performed exactly like a stone man guy.
01:42Yet, you looked so sexy.
01:48Really, do I?
01:50Yeah, of course.
01:52I was just going to ask you,
01:54it reminded me so much of Rajni sir.
01:58Small nuances.
02:00Will there be a comparison with
02:02the Thalaiva?
02:04More than comparison, I'll say
02:06it's more of an influence.
02:08I was born and brought up in Chennai.
02:10Obviously, I have a lot of
02:12subconscious absorption from
02:14big superstars like Rajni sir,
02:16Kamal sir.
02:18That's why if you notice that
02:20then I came to Hyderabad.
02:22Mr. Chiranjeevi is my own uncle.
02:24When I see him,
02:26he dances really well.
02:28His nuances.
02:30As a child, when you grow up
02:32seeing these people, you absorb them
02:34and they're there subconsciously in your mind.
02:36Not that I very consciously want to do it.
02:38If it came across like that also,
02:40I don't have an issue.
02:42You can say maybe it's a tribute for them.
02:44My respects for them in a way.
02:46Do you see the changing shifts
02:48in the industries and the respect
02:50that is given to each other?
02:52In the 2000s, it's a very clear
02:54gap between the South cinema and North cinema.
02:56Let's be honest about it.
02:58Then if you see the entire 2010s,
03:00the bridges,
03:02there have been beautiful bridges
03:04thanks to people like Manish ji
03:06who have
03:08bridged those gaps.
03:10Now,
03:12everybody's getting familiar with each other's cinema
03:14and I'm telling you,
03:16from the next decade onwards,
03:18in the 2020s,
03:20the lines will be so blurry
03:22that it will not matter
03:24where it comes from. It is only the content that will matter.
03:26They will not be South actors,
03:28North actors. It will all be about Indian cinema
03:30growing and I'm telling you,
03:32with wonderful platforms that have opened
03:34like OTTs, there are so many
03:36set of new film makers, directors,
03:38actors, technicians.
03:40This has opened up amazing horizons
03:42for us in the entertainment industry.
03:44We as Indian entertainment
03:46industry, not just cinema,
03:48we as Indian entertainment industry
03:50are going to be
03:52a very huge
03:54or probably one of
03:56the biggest players
03:58in the next decade.
