00:00Neslame has already been established.
00:02People have started calling it Neslame after Thannur Mathna.
00:05It was my first film.
00:06When I came to the location, he came here and spoke to me.
00:09We were like, Oh, Neslame!
00:14Did you expect it to be such a big range?
00:17I think it was a good quality film.
00:21From the beginning, in the pre-production and post-production,
00:26we had that good feeling.
00:29It was a good film.
00:31We knew it would be a good film.
00:34But we didn't expect it to be such a big success.
00:38It was unexpected.
00:40We were overwhelmed by the response.
00:45I loved the friendship between the two of you in that film.
00:49It was very organic.
00:50It was good.
00:51It was good for college mates.
00:54It was very good.
00:55I don't know if you know that.
00:58We have known each other for a long time.
01:00I did Thannur Mathna in my first film.
01:04I was the spot editor in that film.
01:06We worked together in that film.
01:14That connection, that rapport,
01:18helped us to bring the characters to the screen.
01:28We wanted to be successful.
01:33We were all very happy to complete the film.
01:38We were like a family.
01:40We shot in Hyderabad.
01:42It was a different style of life from the other films.
01:52I was very attached to the film.
01:57I wanted the film to be successful.
02:00But we didn't expect it to be such a big hit.
02:05We didn't expect it to be such a big hit.
02:09We didn't expect it to be such a big hit.
02:14Did you have fun with that role?
02:21I was a corporate guy.
02:24You were in IT.
02:26Yes, I was in Citibank.
02:28I was inspired by the people I met there.
02:37It was a well-written character.
02:39It was written by Gireesh and Kiran Joshi.
02:41It has all the basics.
02:44As an actor, I have to do my part.
02:47I tried to give maximum input.
02:49This is an example of good writing.
02:54Let's admit it.
02:55People like you.
02:56You guys are so young.
02:58Did you know that writing or acting is what counts?
03:02What is the success behind this film?
03:04It was a mix of both.
03:06It was a mix of both.
03:08I think it was a good mix.
03:10Not just the writing,
03:12but also the technical side.
03:16It was a good mix of everything.
03:19In every department,
03:21whether it is visual, music, acting,
03:25cast, performance, writing,
03:32everything was perfectly blended.
03:36It was a team work.
03:38It was a collective effort.
03:40I think that is why it was such a success.
03:44I don't think we can achieve such a success
03:46if it is just one side.
03:50We get all the reviews.
03:54Everyone will have a favorite in every review.
04:00It can be the technical department,
04:02performers,
04:04different people in the performance itself.
04:06We get appreciations for everything.
04:13Describe your fan base.
04:17Are they young?
04:19Are they girls?
04:21I don't know.
04:23Seriously, I don't know.
04:25The characters I play,
04:27whether they are young or not,
04:29when I go out,
04:31a lot of my family members
04:33who are around my mother's age
04:35or around my father's age
04:37come to me and say
04:39that it was good.
04:41It is like a going extra.
04:43Yes, it is like that.
04:49I am not a big star.
04:51I don't say that.
04:53But some people like me.
04:55Some people in my age category
04:57like me.
04:59My first film was
05:01Patros's film.
05:03He was the editor of that.
05:05He is an actual editor.
05:07That's his place.
05:10Neslin has already been established.
05:12People have heard a lot
05:14about Neslin.
05:16It was my first film.
05:18When I came here,
05:20he came here and spoke to me.
05:22I used to follow
05:24Ponmutta.
05:26Ponmutta is a series
05:28that I follow a lot.
05:30Then there is
05:32Karikku.
05:34Karikku is a series
05:36that I follow a lot.
05:38Everyone doesn't do that.
05:40That's what I said.
05:42Everyone doesn't do that.
05:44But he came here and
05:46spoke to me.
05:48It is my third film.
05:50There is a friendship.
05:52This movie is about first love.
05:54And also about how unsure you are.
05:56You don't get much luck
05:58with women and all that.
06:00Is that why you think it resonated
06:02with everybody?
06:04Because you guys don't have
06:07a hero entry.
06:09You are broke.
06:11You don't have much money.
06:13You can't do anything.
06:15Is that the reason?
06:17Many people might be able to relate.
06:19That's it.
06:21What happened in life
06:23or what we know
06:25or what happened
06:27in the life of our best friend
06:29or what happened
06:31in our life.
06:33People can easily relate
06:36with that.
06:38That's why
06:40it reaches
06:42a wide audience.
06:44They can relate.
06:46You don't get the girl.
06:48But you tried a lot.
06:50You get 100 points for trying.
06:52There are guys like you.
06:54Very ambitious.
06:56Overly.
06:58Is that why it is such a big hit?
07:00Is it a little negative?
07:02No.
07:04Like you said,
07:06CBC vs State
07:08I loved that.
07:10That was a dream.
07:12I studied in a normal school
07:14in Nattumpuram.
07:16I thought
07:18I was a well-off guy.
07:20I studied in a normal school.
07:22All of us studied in a normal school.
07:24All of you are from the state.
07:26We are not a sophisticated team.
07:30The co-writer of this film
07:33is CBC.
07:35Even though it is a character
07:37from the beginning,
07:39when people see it,
07:41they get angry.
07:43There are people like you
07:45in call centres
07:47with accents.
07:49How much were you involved
07:51in Fahadh Fahadh?
07:53Were you involved in the set?
07:55What was it like?
07:57Even though
07:59it was creative,
08:01there was a technical
08:03connection.
08:05We haven't seen Fahadh yet.
08:09Have you seen the movie?
08:11No.
08:13We will see it in a few days.
08:15Maybe he is laughing
08:17at his projects.
08:19He is counting the money.
08:21Maybe.
08:23He is a little busy.
08:25There was a character
08:27in Shyamettan's film.
08:30Shyamettan is more friendly
08:32to us.
08:34Dileesha is also friendly.
08:36We respect Dileesha more.
08:38He is a great director.
08:40When we talk to Shyamettan,
08:42he is a person
08:44in our age group.
08:46He thinks like that.
08:48That's why we are more
08:50close to Shyamettan.
