00:00We have with us the actors who made Kunjako Bomman go mad.
00:06How can actors have so many fans?
00:08Gang!
00:09I think I got beaten up by Chako there.
00:10But...
00:11How many times did you get beaten up?
00:13I think I got beaten up more than her.
00:15I was in the hospital.
00:16I had a big bruise on my head.
00:19When I was flying and hitting my head,
00:20I really got beaten up.
00:22I was crying.
00:23I was sitting with Chako's eyes on my shoulder and my head on my eyes.
00:26Yes, there are very few scenes where girls get beaten up like this in Malayalam cinema.
00:29It happens very often.
00:31The camera is set in the front and the side.
00:34So, nothing can be done about it.
00:36We are going through the road.
00:37If the camera gets hit somewhere, it's gone.
00:39You said that you were going to come to such a terrible scene.
00:42Go away.
00:43I was really looking at her as if I was looking at a child.
00:47Considering that, you know, Hema committee.
00:49All of these things happening in this industry, whatever.
00:51When Priyamani got beaten up, she really got beaten up.
00:53Yes, she really got beaten up.
00:54Yes.
00:55Ma'am was there with me at that time.
00:56When I said that the actors were great, she was there with me.
00:59Anjini, if you get it, don't throw it on the road.
01:01After watching the movie for two days, he's had a nightmare of me.
01:05Oh.
01:07The way he looks at them, it's like he's on drugs.
01:11I've got interviews with drug addicts.
01:14I've taken a lot of references.
01:16There's a secret behind the shot.
01:18Do you know how to pull this?
01:19How?
01:20You have to be able to do it the same way.
01:22Otherwise, people who really know,
01:23they'll be like, why are they doing this?
01:25It's a pan-Indian, right?
01:28I'm tired of listening to it.
01:31The villains who beat up Conchaco Bob in Officer on Duty are with us.
01:36Actually, I think the villain and villains are more suitable.
01:41Aishwarya Vishnuvillayan is with us.
01:43Greetings to the three of you.
01:46Actually, you're the one who's on social media now.
01:48You're the only one I see.
01:50After a long time, I don't know why the villains have so many fans.
01:55Isn't it the same with you?
01:56Isn't it the same response people give you when you're on the road?
01:59Yes, definitely.
02:00When I hear it everywhere,
02:03Conchaco Bob and gang.
02:05I think the usage of the word gang is the same.
02:08So, I think it's a very fair thing.
02:12I'm very lucky.
02:13It was unexpected for me personally.
02:15I didn't think it would be that way.
02:17But, everywhere we go, I hear it.
02:19So, I'm very happy.
02:20I think Vishnu's second Malayalam film,
02:22after Rannu Shippen Kannan, is the second Malayalam film.
02:26It's your first film as well, right?
02:27Yes, it's my first film.
02:28This is such a big hype for your first film.
02:31How did you two come to this film?
02:34I studied theatre.
02:37I came here for an audition.
02:39Actually, I left acting and came to this film when I was about to leave.
02:45So, I came and did it.
02:47That's how I got it.
02:49It was my first audition.
02:52I saw a casting call on Instagram and gave it to them.
02:55And, I got it.
02:57I got it and did the audition.
02:59That's how I came here.
03:00Many people get jealous when you say that you got it in your first audition.
03:05Somehow, I got it.
03:07When you talk about a gang,
03:11we can see a slow motion.
03:13It was very nice to see the gang coming.
03:16Your BGM and slow motion were very nice.
03:19The fight was the same, right?
03:21How was the fight?
03:22I think it was boxing, right?
03:24You were doing boxing, right?
03:25Are you talking about the movie?
03:27No, you were doing boxing in general, right?
03:29Me?
03:30Not boxing.
03:31I was doing calisthenics in general.
03:35So, I was doing boxing in general.
03:37I didn't study it specifically.
03:39But, it was a great fight, right?
03:41Yes, it was a great fight.
03:42I think I had a choreography for 4-5 days when I went for the first time.
03:47I think I was able to do it because I was so involved with the energy of the fight.
03:59Of course, if I made a mistake and got beaten up,
04:05it was a big time fear.
04:07But, it was not an issue.
04:09Sir handled it very neatly.
04:13And, of course, most of the credit goes to the masters.
04:17Whether it is Abhi or Sir.
04:19But, it was a great fight.
04:21I enjoyed it.
04:22The way you were slapping him.
04:24Chacko was telling me that he will beat me up.
04:27He will beat me up.
04:29Chacko was a big artist.
04:31We were trying to do everything carefully.
04:34I think Chacko got beaten up there and there.
04:37How many times did you get beaten up?
04:39I got beaten up more than that.
04:41I got beaten up more than that.
04:43I was in the hospital.
04:45I had a big bruise on my head.
04:47It was a real shot.
04:49There is a real shot where I fell down.
04:52The one where you hit your head and fell down.
04:54Yes, the one where I slid down and hit my head.
04:56It was a real hit.
04:58I was crying when I heard that.
05:00Usually, I am a person who doesn't cry in front of people.
05:02But, that day, I took the pain and cried.
05:04They told me that it was okay.
05:06But, the pain made me cry.
05:08I told them that it was okay.
05:11There is a photo of me and Chacko.
05:13Chacko had his eyes on his shoulder
05:15and I had my eyes on my head.
05:17But, the shooting was a lot of fun.
05:21We enjoyed the action a lot.
05:23It was great to do the action.
05:26We used the harness for the first time.
05:28Yes.
05:30So, it was a balancing act.
05:32There were a lot of new things.
05:34How can you do that in a fight?
05:36I think that was one of the majors.
05:38Also, I don't think they have seen
05:40female villains like this.
05:42I think that was something
05:44that I was very excited about.
05:46There are very few scenes in Malayalam cinema
05:48where girls hit each other like this.
05:50They hit each other and also hit back.
05:52You have a fight scene, right?
05:54In one portion, you can say a lot.
05:56But, in both portions,
05:58the fights are amazing.
06:00Thank you so much.
06:02I got a lot of hits.
06:04Aishwarya, do you know about car chasing?
06:06Do you know to drive a car?
06:09I don't know.
06:11It wasn't that bad.
06:13Was it because you knew how to drive?
06:15If I say that I knew how to drive,
06:17it was one month before
06:19I started learning how to drive.
06:21So, when I did that scene,
06:23I had all the imperfections
06:25of that scene.
06:27It was very difficult to do that scene.
06:29And,
06:31that scene itself
06:33was very much
06:35under pressure.
06:37Because, there was a full crew.
06:39Chakochan was standing opposite.
06:41Chakochan was running.
06:43Chakochan was about to get hit.
06:45So, when I did such scenes,
06:47the camera was set
06:49in the front and the side.
06:51So,
06:53nothing could be done for that.
06:55We were going through the road.
06:57If the camera just hit somewhere,
06:59it would be gone.
07:01Along with that, we had to do things
07:03for the character.
07:05More than me,
07:07the cast and the crew
07:09were tensed.
07:11Did you ask them if they knew how to drive?
07:13Yes, I did.
07:15I knew how to drive.
07:17But, it was my first movie.
07:19So, I didn't know what I was going to do.
07:21There was a scene where a car was driving.
07:23It might be Chase.
07:25So, I was like,
07:27yes, it was Chase.
07:29Why?
07:31Because the camera was set in the front.
07:34So, you had to drive with a towel.
07:36Yes.
07:38I didn't tell them to cut it.
07:40So, it was Chase.
07:42There was a call too.
07:44You had to call and speak.
07:46You had to act.
07:48There were dialogues.
07:50I didn't know all this.
07:52So, they knew what I was going to do.
07:54But, I didn't know
07:56how to do all these things.
07:58We were newbies.
08:00We didn't know anything.
08:02So, there was a lot of pressure.
08:04But, everyone was there.
08:06So, it was fine.
08:08Did you learn how to drive properly?
08:10Yes.
08:12When I went to Kerala,
08:14I used to drive a lot.
08:16When did you realize
08:18that you were going to do a bad scene?
08:20When I went to the set.
08:22When I started shooting,
08:24I realized that there were two cars,
08:26a master, a set,
08:28a crane,
08:31and a lot of technical items.
08:33That's when I realized
08:35that this is what I was going to do.
08:37Yes,
08:39that's it.
08:41That's when I realized
08:43that this is how I was going to do it.
08:45It went well, I think.
08:47Of course.
08:51Laya and Vishnu,
08:53you are fighting with Chacko.
08:55Some artists
08:57talk about
08:59the way they take care of their actors.
09:01After that fight,
09:03you were able to take care of them.
09:05Did you realize
09:07how they take care of their actors?
09:09Actually, I am so glad
09:11you asked me this.
09:13We are not new actors.
09:15But, we used to take care of them equally.
09:17Whenever I had a need,
09:19I used to take care of it.
09:21I used to take them to the hospital.
09:23I used to take them to the hospital.
09:25I used to take them to the hospital.
09:27I used to take care of them
09:29like a child.
09:31I used to take care of them like a child.
09:33Which was very
09:35like
09:37considering that Hema committee
09:39and all of these things happening in this industry.
09:41When new people come,
09:43it's a
09:45comforting feeling that
09:47we are safe here.
09:49We don't have any issues.
09:51Especially Jithu sir,
09:53I think he was very
09:56careful that we will be okay.
09:58He is a very nice man in here.
10:00I don't think I can work with
10:02a better director than him.
10:04So, yeah.
10:06That was...
10:08It must have been the same with Chakrasan.
10:10You used to take care of them after every fight.
10:12When we were
10:14practicing,
10:16we had changed a lot of people.
10:18We used to take care of everyone.
10:20We used to take care of everyone.
10:22During the first training,
10:24when I did it,
10:26I got hit.
10:28After that, I used to run away.
10:30I don't know why.
10:32I used to tell everyone
10:34that I will get hit.
10:36I used to tell everyone that I will get hit.
10:38But at the end of the day,
10:40I used to run away.
10:42Safety is also an important issue.
10:44Safety is also an important issue.
10:46If we don't do it,
10:48if we make a small mistake,
10:50it can affect the entire shooting.
10:53If we twist a little,
10:55it can affect the entire shooting.
10:57If we twist a little, it can affect the entire shooting.
10:59Vishakha was saying that
11:01Priyamani got hit
11:03when she was getting hit.
11:05Priyamani was with me at that time.
11:07At that time,
11:09we were confused
11:11when we were acting.
11:13Whether it was right or wrong.
11:15There have been many such incidents.
11:17Safety issues can be solved
11:19with minor issues.
11:21Even if there were stunt doubles,
11:23they wouldn't have helped.
11:25They would have helped
11:27even if they were injured.
11:29But we did 80% of the action.
11:31But we did 80% of the action.
11:33But safety,
11:35they were very much looking into it.
11:37We did it properly.
11:39We did it properly.
11:41So hats off to that team also.
11:43So hats off to that team also.
11:45When you talk about it on social media,
11:47the comments are very positive.
11:49When you talk about it on social media,
11:51the comments are very positive.
11:53I love the messages.
11:55I feel like stabbing her 7 times.
11:57She got a text from someone.
11:59Our associate director
12:01is a friend of Pulika's.
12:03He is her husband.
12:05After watching the movie,
12:07he had a nightmare of me.
12:09he had a nightmare of me.
12:11He had a nightmare of me.
12:13He had a nightmare of me.
12:15He had a nightmare of me.
12:17He had a nightmare of me.
12:19I sent him a video
12:21I sent him a video
12:23I sent him a video
12:25I sent him a video
12:27I sent him a video
12:29I sent him a video
12:31I sent him a video
12:33I sent him a video
12:35and he replied back and said
12:37she did really well.
12:39he said she did really well.
12:41Is this the same in the theaters?
12:43Are there much плохiness like this?
12:45I think our team
12:47They also say that they have done a lot of good things.
12:51We have got a very nice audience who is very kind to us.
12:54When we came out of the cinema, we were there for a couple of days.
12:57We were there to talk to them.
12:59When we saw them, it was as if they had been beaten up by drugs.
13:04When we said that, we were laughing.
13:07It was as if they had been beaten up by drugs.
13:11It was very natural.
13:13I was thinking, how could they have done this?
13:16Do you take reference from movies?
13:19Because that is how it feels.
13:21Yes, we have taken reference from movies.
13:23They have given us a lot of reference movies.
13:25They have found out about us.
13:27Apart from that, we have taken a few live interviews.
13:32We have taken a few references from interviews with drug addicts.
13:39So, as I said, each drug has its own effects.
13:45We have been able to use such things well.
13:50The effects of this type of drug will be in the same way.
13:55So, how will be the mind output of the drug we take?
14:00How will it be high?
14:02We have to be able to do it in the same way.
14:05Otherwise, people who really know will say, why are they doing this?
14:09We have done a lot of research on that.
14:11We have taken glucose powder.
14:13So, we have to rehearse before taking the shot.
14:16We don't know how to take it.
14:18So, we have to take it.
14:20After an hour, the sweetness starts to come down.
14:24Then, the shoot will be one night.
14:26The sweetness will come to the mouth for the whole night.
14:29The head will be aching.
14:31Because, if we take the shot from a different angle,
14:35we will have to do it for 3-4 times.
14:37After that, everyone will have a headache.
14:41There are a lot of scenes.
14:43We were thinking, why are they taking the shot?
14:46Because, we need the beat.
14:48The effect has to be there.
14:50If you take the shot from a different angle,
14:53we will think, why are they taking the shot?
14:56The way Jithu sir said,
15:00it is very hard.
15:02If you use that word,
15:04the style and tone,
15:06we know how high it has to be.
15:08It has to be more.
15:10It has to be full.
15:12It has to be full.
15:14So, that feel,
15:16emotion,
15:18we have to push it to a higher version.
15:22We have to push it and do it.
15:24We have to use a stylized way of making.
15:28How many movies have you seen,
15:30to be honest?
15:32A lot.
15:34We have seen a lot of movies,
15:36a lot of series,
15:38a lot of interviews.
15:40It was a must,
15:42to use a word,
15:44to behave like that.
15:46It has to be like that.
15:48One of the key words that he gave us,
15:50was that we should behave like hyenas.
15:52Hyenas,
15:54was a vision in his mind.
15:56When he saw us,
15:58in some fight scenes,
16:00I felt like,
16:02he has come, right?
16:04I felt like that.
16:06But, that's the word that he used.
16:08He wanted us to look like,
16:10because in fight scenes,
16:12when one person attacks,
16:14the next person will also attack.
16:16So, he wanted fight scenes to be like that.
16:18There is no break.
16:20One after the other, we are going at.
16:22So, I think that really helped.
16:24To get that evilness,
16:26that wildness,
16:28I understood that in every scene.
16:30Even in slow motion,
16:32even in the fight scenes,
16:34it was very helpful.
16:36That's why I asked,
16:38if there was any reference.
16:40Hyenas, right?
16:44How are your fans now?
16:46Because, all the social media,
16:48is talking about you.
16:50Don't you have more fans?
16:52We don't know.
16:54When we see,
16:56our film,
16:58maybe, it's because of us.
17:00We are researching.
17:02The movie is running.
17:04That's why,
17:06heroes have more fans.
17:08This is the first time,
17:10I am seeing a lot of fans.
17:12Actually, all over social media,
17:14people are talking about you.
17:16One person is saying,
17:18Bollywood. Have you seen it?
17:20What?
17:22Bollywood's hero.
17:24Yes.
17:26They are saying, you have that touch.
17:28Many people are saying,
17:30Mani has that touch.
17:32Many people are talking about it.
17:34Haven't you seen it?
17:36I was very happy when they said,
17:38I look like Tokyo from Mani.
17:40I loved that compliment.
17:44For me, Ursula Corvero is
17:46one of my favourite actors.
17:48She is someone I really look up to.
17:50So, people say, I look like her.
17:54In some scenes,
17:56like the one in Jeep,
17:58your eyes are very
18:00highlighted.
18:02Have you used anything extra for that?
18:04No.
18:06No extra.
18:10This is it.
18:12Basically, my character
18:14doesn't have many dialogues.
18:16So, what we can do more
18:18is our expressions.
18:20We can use our body language.
18:22If we can put out
18:24maximum of that,
18:26I think we can get the best out of it.
18:28In the film,
18:30it is more like that.
18:32For all of us,
18:34our body language,
18:36our expressions,
18:38how we are as a group,
18:40the connection we have with each other,
18:42those are the things
18:44we want to bring out.
18:46Maybe that is what everyone liked.
18:48When we say gang,
18:50to bring out that impact,
18:52maybe,
18:54apart from expressing
18:56what we are saying,
18:58we have been able to
19:00show how we are naturally.
19:02So, that is it.
19:04Do you like the
19:06research on Vishnu?
19:08After that,
19:10Hindi.
19:12Actually, I did that film
19:14for the first time.
19:16But it took a long time.
19:18Three and a half years of
19:20total time I spent on it.
19:22In between that, I came to
19:24Nakshipurakantapuram.
19:26But that was the first time I did it.
19:28Actually, you are a pan-Indian.
19:30You have done Malayalam and Tamil.
19:32Tamil is a series.
19:34I am a pan-Indian.
19:36I want to do it in all languages.
19:38Definitely.
19:40To give it to Tamil,
19:42villain came from Hindi.
19:44With Tamil,
19:46I hope someone will call me.
19:48Anyway,
19:50someone was saying here,
19:52Ajitha has a mannerism.
19:54I am fed up of hearing it.
19:56Have you heard it before?
19:58Sound mannerism.
20:00The cameraman was saying
20:02like this.
20:06Actually,
20:08Ammuma was the first one
20:10to come.
20:12Yes.
20:14Sunday,
20:16Holi,
20:18Ammuma.
20:20I worked as her aunt.
20:22It was done very randomly.
20:24When I started,
20:26I was doing it.
20:28I was done with my job.
20:30After the theatre studies,
20:32I was doing it.
20:34There were many auditions.
20:36As I was doing it,
20:38my father used to do it.
20:40It was done very randomly.
20:42When I came,
20:44I saw an ad.
20:46I sent it to him.
20:48I got it in an ad.
20:50It was an ad of Nana.
20:52I got it in that.
20:54Then I did it.
20:56It was an ad of Jess Joyce.
20:58After that,
21:00Jess Joyce called me
21:02and asked if I could do a film.
21:04Then I did it.
21:06It was a celebration
21:08in our family.
21:10My aunt did it.
21:12After that, I got many calls.
21:144-5 times.
21:16She had called me for other films.
21:18Unfortunately, due to health issues,
21:20I couldn't do it.
21:22I was already old.
21:24I had to sit there for the whole day.
21:26I had that problem.
21:28But yes,
21:30my aunt was the first one
21:32in our family.
21:34That's nice.
21:36I saw it when I came here.
21:38That's why I asked.
21:40I came here to act.
21:42I was from Bangalore.
21:44I studied theatre.
21:46I was there.
21:48When I came to Kerala,
21:50I was very excited.
21:52I was a chocolate boy.
21:56I was going to act.
21:58I was very excited.
22:00To be honest,
22:02everything feels unreal.
22:04I did the film.
22:06But still,
22:08when I think about it,
22:10it feels unreal.
22:12When I came for the audition,
22:14I had this in my mind.
22:16Sometimes, it doesn't happen.
22:18I didn't tell anyone.
22:20I didn't tell anyone till the film was released.
22:22Because there's a fear of that.
22:24There are many films
22:26that people have done
22:28but didn't come.
22:30I didn't tell anyone.
22:32I did it without thinking.
22:34If it's good, it's good.
22:36If it's bad, it's bad.
22:38I didn't do anything
22:40with that mindset.
22:42Even now,
22:44sitting here for this interview,
22:46it feels very unreal.
22:48I have a little bit of imposter syndrome.
22:54That's what Chakrachan said.
22:56Since the release of the film,
22:58we haven't slept for three days.
23:00We haven't slept for three days.
23:02It's true.
23:04It's the fourth day.
23:06We haven't slept even for this.
23:08Traveling.
23:10We came from Calicut yesterday
23:12at 6 AM.
23:14We started the interviews at 10 AM.
23:18When the director
23:20got the response,
23:22he cried a lot.
23:24I remember that.
23:26At that time,
23:28we were taking a picture
23:30with Chakrachan.
23:32Actually,
23:34we were standing together
23:36and taking a picture.
23:38Sometimes, we missed it.
23:40Sometimes, we didn't get it
23:42when they took a picture of BTS.
23:44Anyway, we had a picture
23:46in our hands.
23:48That was the first time.
23:52I'm going to ask a cliché question.
23:54Did you have any surprise calls
23:56after your success
23:58and everyone talking about you?
24:08Surprise calls?
24:10Random people?
24:12Actors?
24:14No.
24:18I had called my friends.
24:20Everyone called me.
24:22In the industry,
24:24some of my friends
24:26had called me.
24:28I had called Vishak.
24:30Basal.
24:32We haven't heard
24:34from anyone else.
24:36We were called directly.
24:38Did anyone say anything about Vishak?
24:40Everyone had
24:42a good response.
24:44Vinit Srinivasan had called me.
24:46Everyone said it was great.
24:48I haven't seen Vinit
24:50but many of his friends
24:52had called him.
24:56So, many people had called me.
24:58Basal and Vishak had called me.
25:00Everyone said
25:02it was a good movie.
25:04They said it was great.
25:08When I told you about
25:10the theater response,
25:12the scene where
25:14Anusheep hits the train
25:16and the baby dies,
25:18when I went to visit the theater,
25:20my mom asked me
25:22if I had hit the train.
25:24My mom had asked me that.
25:26I was very sad.
25:28I had hit the train.
25:30I was in so much pain.
25:32When you comment like that,
25:34even if it's a joke,
25:36it's a personal feeling.
25:38It's a mixed reaction.
25:40It's a joke,
25:42but I'm very happy
25:44when I see
25:46the response.
25:48Many people had asked me
25:50about this point.
25:52They wanted to know
25:54more about it.
25:56They wanted to know
25:58why I wrote it.
26:02Some people
26:04wanted to know
26:06about the movie.
26:08Many people had sent me messages.
26:10In fact, about your
26:12failure,
26:14they asked me
26:16why I didn't succeed
26:18and why I was in tears.
26:20I had to talk to Shai sir.
26:22Shai sir said
26:24that it's not about failure.
26:26He is a special person.
26:28He is a CI.
26:30He is a special commissioner.
26:32He will take care of the event.
26:34So, everyone has a responsibility
26:36to Shai sir.
26:38He is a police officer.
26:40It's reasonable
26:42and proper.
26:44It's a realistic
26:46approach.
26:48I had also heard
26:50about this.
26:52Many people had
26:54asked me
26:56why I didn't succeed.
27:00Shai sir was okay with it.
27:02That's how I got the answer.
27:04It was similar to
27:06what Jagadish was saying.
27:08There is a rape scene
27:10in the movie.
27:12We can feel it.
27:14It's a scene where
27:16you can feel your revenge.
27:20After that scene,
27:22you can feel
27:24that they have a reason.
27:26You can feel that
27:28they have a reason.
27:30That plot
27:32helped me a lot.
27:34Definitely.
27:36That justification
27:38was a brilliant move
27:40from Shai Kabir.
27:42Because of that justification
27:44on our side,
27:46somehow, as villains,
27:48people were able to
27:50sympathize with us.
27:52But still,
27:54no one should have done this.
27:58We didn't support this.
28:00We didn't support this.
28:02We didn't support this.
28:04But this is a real story.
28:06What does it mean?
28:08Is it a real story?
28:10We don't know.
28:12In Shai sir's
28:14new career,
28:16a lot of things have happened.
28:18Of course,
28:20he was inspired by that.
28:22But I don't know
28:24if this is a real incident.
28:28In some news articles...
28:30He has written a lot of things
28:32based on his own experience.
28:34In that,
28:36he has added more
28:38filmy elements.
28:40That's how it developed.
28:42What about the other crew members?
28:44Priya Manichetty,
28:46Jagadish Chetan,
28:48how was
28:50their experience?
28:54I loved working with
28:56our entire cast and crew members.
28:58Priya Manichetty
29:00is a very strong woman.
29:02When you work with her,
29:04you look up to her.
29:06You want to learn from her.
29:08She is very kind and sweet.
29:12She is so nice.
29:14But at the same time,
29:16she knows where to say no.
29:20But at the same time,
29:22she is very nice about it.
29:26Jagadish Chetan
29:28is an intellectual artist.
29:30The way he approaches his art
29:32is very different.
29:34When we were shooting,
29:36Jagadish Chetan told us
29:38that there was a small mistake
29:40in the dialogue.
29:42Jagadish Chetan said
29:44that it was correct.
29:46We were very tensed.
29:52It took a lot of time.
29:54Then we realized that
29:56Jagadish Chetan was right.
29:58Jagadish Chetan's shot was
30:00very different from what
30:02Ajithaswamy's shot was.
30:04No matter how much we retake,
30:06he knows exactly what his dialogue is.
30:10If we change a small word,
30:12he will correct it the next time.
30:14He knows that he has done it.
30:16His craft is so brilliant.
30:20I have learnt a lot
30:22from all our cast members.
30:24Your first Hindi film.
30:26It felt like a dream.
30:28When we called you for a movie,
30:30you said that you were going
30:32to make a Hindi film.
30:34There was a hype about it.
30:36Actually, not like that.
30:38Did you have to struggle a lot
30:40because you are doing it
30:42as a football.
30:44Did you have to struggle a lot?
30:46It was not like
30:48I was doing it in Hindi.
30:50I studied theatre in Bombay.
30:52I studied theatre in Bombay.
30:54I was there for that.
30:56When I came to Kerala,
30:58I didn't have anyone.
31:00I didn't know what was going on.
31:02I didn't know what to do.
31:04But when I studied in Bombay,
31:06I had a small network of people
31:08from the theatre.
31:125-6 years back,
31:14I didn't have much casting.
31:16In Bombay,
31:18there are a few buildings
31:20called casting offices.
31:22Even if you don't know anything,
31:24you can go inside the building
31:26and give an introduction.
31:28Maybe you will get some data.
31:30Since I had that opportunity,
31:32I was in Bombay for a while.
31:34I thought I could do it
31:36for two years.
31:38After two years,
31:40when I was doing theatre,
31:42I came to know about Hindi.
31:44I was giving auditions
31:46for good films.
31:48But not in Malayalam.
31:50I didn't know anything in Malayalam.
31:52So, I was not surprised
31:54that I got a Hindi role.
31:56At the same time,
31:58I was very surprised
32:00that I got such a role
32:02in a film like Malayalam.
32:04I didn't come here and
32:06worked hard for it.
32:08I got it through a random meeting.
32:10How did you get into Malayalam?
32:12I am from Wayanad.
32:14When I came to Wayanad,
32:16I had a friend called Sunil Esh.
32:18He is also from Manchurian.
32:20He wrote Kakshi Ammini Pillai.
32:22I have known Sunil Esh
32:24for a long time.
32:26When I was in Kozhikode,
32:28Sunil Esh was there.
32:30I was in Wayanad.
32:32He had two friends.
32:34He is the casting director of Anushama Kandatham.
32:36He called me and told me
32:38to come and meet him.
32:40That's how I went to Kozhikode.
32:42We were together.
32:44Milind was the casting director.
32:46The role I played in the film
32:48written by Anushama Kandatham
32:50and the role of my friend.
32:52When I wrote the first film,
32:54I was very young.
32:56I was 17 years old.
32:58So, all of us...
33:00Milind was there
33:02to see the whole thing.
33:04She came to find out.
33:06She came to find out.
33:08Sunil Esh was there.
33:10We were together.
33:12She came to find out.
33:14In the end, it didn't work out.
33:16It didn't work out.
33:18It didn't work out.
33:20Sometimes it happens like this.
33:22You can select them.
33:24You can select them.
33:26You can select them.
33:28You can select them.
33:30Everyone is forced to do it.
33:32Everyone is forced to do it.
33:34Two months later,
33:36everything has changed.
33:38The age bracket has changed.
33:40Then you try it.
33:42That's how I did it.
33:44Then I met Darwin.
33:46Then I met Darwin.
33:48That's the connection in this film.
33:50That's the connection in this film.
33:52Dilip Nath is the art director.
33:54Dilip Nath is the art director.
33:56After that,
33:58Dilip Nath was the one
34:00who recommended me in this film.
34:02I was late for that.
34:04He had already selected this part.
34:06He had already selected this part.
34:08Unfortunately, he couldn't do the film.
34:10Unfortunately, he couldn't do the film.
34:12He had gone to some other place.
34:14It was a last moment.
34:16It was a last moment.
34:18He suggested me in this film.
34:20He suggested me in this film.
34:22That's how I got here.
34:24That's how I got here.
34:26The film graph is very nice.
34:28The film graph is very nice.
34:30The film graph is very nice.
34:32I wish you all a bright future.
34:34I wish you all a bright future.
34:36I wish you all a bright future.
