00:00How do you see Tamil cinema in the next 5 years?
00:11I don't know how I will be in the next 5 years.
00:15Every year, my life is unpredictable.
00:23I don't know if I will be able to sing a song in Tamil cinema.
00:31In the future, will you incorporate modern Tamil youth culture in your films and scripts?
00:43Will you incorporate modern Tamil youth culture in your films and scripts?
00:58I will incorporate all ages and working classes.
01:10Do you think your creativity will be affected because of the increase in production costs?
01:20No, I think it will give me more freedom. I can shoot whatever I want without a budget.
01:30I can shoot whatever I want without a budget.
01:37VFX, Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Studio have become a must in Tamil cinema. How do you see this innovation?
01:47I think that is the future. When technology comes, we have to adapt to it.
01:54When technology comes, we have to adapt to it.
02:02It will be easier. We can shoot as many takes as we want.
02:07We can create a lot of things without a camera through AI and computer graphics.
02:17We can watch virtual studios with CG and artists at the same time.
02:27It's better to adapt to it than to watch it.
02:34You are a short film director, IT worker, director, and a hero.
02:44Do you want to become a star or an actor?
02:49I want to become a star. I like the celebration in my films.
02:59I like their acting skills. When people come, I want to entertain them.
03:09I want to shout at them and make them happy.
03:17You are a dragon. People say that you represent contemporary social issues.
03:27How do you represent truth and truthfulness?
03:32The main thing is entertainment. The underlying factor is what you want to say.
03:47The major criteria is entertainment. I fix a theme and work on it.
03:52I can say what I want to say in an entertaining way. That is my first rule.
04:00I can say what I want to say in an entertaining way.
04:07As a young filmmaker, what changes do you want to see in Tamil cinema?
04:17Everything changes in Tamil cinema. We have to learn to adapt.
04:27If we keep learning, we can adapt to everything.
04:32The age of the people we work with keeps changing.
04:39When I'm a year older, my age is increasing.
04:49When I work with older people, their mindset is different.
04:59Technology keeps changing. We have to constantly learn.
05:08How do you balance commercial aspects in your storytelling?
05:13I only make commercial films.
05:18For example, if I have to make a song...
05:23I try to see if it affects the flow of the film as much as possible.
05:30If it does, the song won't exist.
05:33Is the film entertaining? For me, entertaining is commercial.
05:38I don't have a mindset that the song and the fight are commercial.
05:43What is commercial for the general public?
05:48I don't think there should be a limit to what can be sold.
05:55I have a mindset that I have to do something to make it sell.
06:00This is balancing. Is a scene entertaining?
06:05That's all I look at.
06:08Today, OTT is an important thing.
06:11Has the OTT platform changed your decision to make films?
06:16No, I'm confused about business.
06:20A few days ago, there was a lot of budget.
06:25OTT's business was very big.
06:30Now that OTT has crashed, there's less business.
06:35So, it's more theatrical.
06:40It's a business angle.
06:43From a creative angle, nothing has affected me.
06:48In this film, five music composers have sung.
06:55Silambarasan, Yuvan Shankarraja, Anirudh, Pradeep Kumar, Seth Sriram.
07:00What are your feelings about these five composers?
07:09Seth Sriram sang the song, Ennai Vittu Uyir Ponnaalum.
07:14It's a big hit.
07:17Ashwath sang Kadai Pomma.
07:22It's a big hit.
07:25Vazithunai is like a dream song.
07:29It's a situation.
07:32We feel it's beautiful.
07:35Yuvan sir said it would be good to have a divine voice.
07:40Yuvan sir is the only option.
07:43I thought it would be good if he sang it.
07:47He sang it.
07:50Pradeep Kumar...
07:53I had a few favorites in the film.
07:58The song Pradeep Kumar sang is one of my favorite songs in the album.
08:11Anirudh sang it.
08:14We are very thankful to him for taking time out of his busy schedule to sing it.
08:21Meena S.T.R. sang it.
08:24It was a sweet gesture.
08:27Pradeep Kumar promoted the song.
08:32I thought, what can we get by doing this?
08:37What can we give?
08:40That's the sweet thing about it.
08:43Thank you, S.T.R. sir.
08:46What was the dragon moment in your life?
08:49Dragon moment...
08:52Dragon moment...
08:55Dragon moment...
08:58Dragon moment...
09:01I will release my answer sheet two days before the release.
09:06I had written a story in a test paper.
09:10The ma'am saw it and told me to write a good story.
09:16But it's true now.
09:19I'm going to post it on social media.
09:22Direction is an unforgettable thing.
09:25You can do it anytime.
09:28They accepted you as a hero.
09:31Did you start acting to use it?
09:34Or did you think acting was the main thing?
09:39People love acting.
09:42I like it a lot.
09:45When they talk and see me on screen, they feel happy.
09:52That makes me even happier.
09:57That's why.
10:03How was the experience of being a cool boy without de-aging?
10:11When I did a short film 5-7 years ago...
10:17I used to shave clean.
10:22I didn't de-age. I just shaved.
10:27It was fun.
10:32I didn't shave for a long time because I looked like a kid.
10:37I started shaving when I was a kid.
10:42I wanted to look like an adult.
10:47I shaved very rarely after that.
10:52It was good to see me after a long time.
10:57When I saw your college teacher in the film,
11:02I got emotional.
11:05When there was no subtitle,
11:10they asked you to do a live subtitle.
11:15So, you decided to direct a film.
11:20Gradually, you came to this field.
11:25Can you describe those moments?
11:30In 2015, I decided to do cinema.
11:34I liked cinema a lot.
11:37When it comes to college projects,
11:40most people give money and do it.
11:45I wanted to do something related to cinema.
11:50I studied in IT. I used to watch a lot of movies.
11:55At that time, I used to search for subtitles.
12:00I thought it would be good to generate subtitles
12:05through audio recognition.
12:10I did a project for that.
12:15In 2009, it started happening on YouTube.
12:20The technology has improved a lot.
12:25I did a thesis.
12:28Initial stages are generated with a lot of error.
12:33I tried to do what a basic amateur does.
12:38What is the difference between
12:43Love Today Friends Gang and Dragon Friends Gang?
12:48I don't think there's a difference.
12:54Anupama, Kayadu, Sneha, and Gopika.
12:59What do you think of them?
13:04I fell in love with Anupama when I was in college.
13:09It was an amazing performance.
13:14I didn't expect it. She was very cute.
13:19Kayadu is a new talent for Tamil cinema.
13:24Her lines were prepared. She acted very well.
13:29She was very dedicated.
13:34Many of her fans are waiting for the movie to release.
13:39She's very happy to see that.
13:44I enjoyed her shoots a lot.
13:49I watched her all the time.
13:54That's the only memory I have of her.
13:59When you were in school,
14:04you were called a bad boy.
14:09Have you changed as a girl in your life?
14:14There's a lot to learn from one relationship to another.
14:19For example,
14:34in my story,
14:39if someone breaks up with you
14:44the boy will stand up for you.
14:49He'll give you importance.
14:54The girl might say,
14:59don't give me so much attention.
15:04The boy will wonder if he's doing the right thing.
15:09I've undergone a lot.
15:14I think everyone has.
15:19I think he's in the next league.
15:24His sound and music are next level.
15:29He's underrated.
15:34His album was a hit in 2002.
15:39I think he's slowly getting the recognition he deserves.
15:44I think this movie will take him there.
15:49Is the Dragon movie a real-life incident or a real-life imagination?
15:54Both.
15:59If you had to live as a character in a movie,
16:04what would you choose?
16:09I'm living a good life.
16:14I'm not interested in living as a character in a movie.
16:19I'm happy to live as Pradeep.
16:24If you had to hurt someone, what would you say?
16:29I don't want to hurt anyone.
16:34I just want to do good for them.
16:39That's all I want.
16:44That's all I know.
16:49What was your first impression of Ashwath?
16:54When I first saw Ashwath,
16:59I felt like he was already in a movie.
17:04I wanted to learn a lot from him.
17:09He took me to a tea shop.
17:14I didn't know who he was.
17:19I didn't know if I could work with him.
17:24I learned a lot from him.
17:29I read a lot of books.
17:34There's not much difference between now and then.
17:39I trust him.
17:44I think it's good for me.
17:49Who do you use the phone with the most?
17:54I don't use it with anyone.
17:59I don't know who uses his phone.
18:04I don't use my phone for shooting.
18:09I think I'm average.
18:14What do you think of D.O.P Niket, co-artists Sidhu and Harshad?
18:24I've always wanted to work with Niket.
18:29I like him personally.
18:34I've learned a lot of qualities from him.
18:39I appreciate his body language.
18:44I love it.
18:49Like I said,
18:54He's an example for me.
18:59I had a lot of fun working with him.
19:04It was entertaining.
19:09What do you want to say about movies?
19:14Why should the family watch Dragon?
19:19Why should the family watch Dragon?
19:24You can watch all the emotions.
19:29You can laugh and feel it.
19:34You can watch the songs and fight.
19:39It's entertaining.
19:44There are things that I take for granted.
19:49That's why everyone likes it.
