00:00 You are Vijay Sethupathi's close friend.
00:02 Whenever we talk, the way he was friendly to me when I first met him,
00:07 the same way, his 50th movie is coming up next.
00:10 So, there is not even a little change.
00:12 Everyone has a character that tells them that they are winning and that they are successful.
00:18 That character is what brought them to the top.
00:20 So, Vijay Sethupathi is a good character.
00:23 A good person.
00:27 What is the difference between the working pattern of Malayalam movies and the working pattern here?
00:32 In cinema, the director is the director.
00:34 If they cut, they will see the next movie as the next team.
00:38 But here, it is not like that.
00:39 If a movie works, even if we go 25 years later,
00:42 the way we receive it, the same respect they give us.
00:46 So, the entire Malayalam field is different.
00:49 In this movie, everyone will connect.
00:55 Not only the couple who are married,
00:57 even if they are in love,
00:59 even if they are married and are 60 years old,
01:02 when they watch this movie,
01:04 we will be filming the things that they have experienced in their lives.
01:08 In 'Fame', after the action is said,
01:14 they act like ghosts.
01:16 Where does that energy come from?
01:18 How does that reaction come?
01:23 What I am trying to say is,
01:25 we sit inside with excitement.
01:27 We sit and watch.
01:28 The last half hour, we will go there.
01:30 Everything will be connected.
01:32 When we watch the climax,
01:34 when we come out,
01:35 Hello to the viewers of One India Film Week.
01:39 In today's cinema special interview,
01:41 we have with us the director of 'Love' movie,
01:43 R.P. Balasaharan.
01:44 Let's talk about many things.
01:45 Hello sir, how are you?
01:46 I am fine.
01:47 'Love' is going to release on 28th July.
01:50 How is your health now?
01:52 I am very happy.
01:54 I have been directing for many years.
01:56 I was in dubbing.
01:58 I have directed 150 movies as a dialect director.
02:01 I have directed for Malayalam films like Pulimurugan,
02:03 Arumichal, Lucifer, Maraikar, Janakana Manai.
02:06 I have directed many films.
02:08 I had planned to direct 10 years ago.
02:10 I was waiting for more experience.
02:14 I got a link with Bharath sir.
02:18 I got the friendship.
02:20 He said he would do a few lines.
02:23 He said he would wait for a few days.
02:26 I was trying to remake 'Love'.
02:29 'Love' was in Malayalam.
02:31 It was a super duper hit.
02:33 I said I would definitely do this film.
02:35 Then Vani Bhojan, a good actor, came in.
02:39 The special thing is that it was my debut movie.
02:42 His 50th movie.
02:44 He gave his 50th movie to a debut director.
02:48 I have to thank Bharath sir.
02:53 At the same time, an actor,
02:56 even if it's his 25th or 50th movie,
03:00 he would be very conscious about it.
03:02 He would be very hesitant.
03:04 He would say he would definitely make it a success.
03:06 He would say it would be a label.
03:08 He trusted him and gave it to him.
03:10 He knew the content.
03:12 He would make good content.
03:14 I was not hesitant.
03:16 I know a famous cameraman.
03:18 He has worked on 'Poovu'.
03:20 He has worked on this film.
03:22 The music director for this film is Rony Raphel.
03:25 He is a very famous music director in Malayalam.
03:28 The entire team is technically strong.
03:31 We believe he has given a good film.
03:33 You can watch it on the 28th.
03:35 It's a theatre experience film.
03:37 You can watch it in the theatre.
03:39 When you approached Bharath sir,
03:41 what was his reaction?
03:43 You said you had told him a few stories.
03:46 But when you told him about this film,
03:48 'Love Ode Remake',
03:50 what was his reaction?
03:52 I had dialogued with him in Tamil.
03:54 He had done a cameo in a film called 'Kurup'.
03:57 We had planned to work with him
03:59 when the dubbing was about to come.
04:01 That's when our friendship started.
04:03 He had given me the film 'Kaalidas' before.
04:06 Miral didn't come.
04:08 We told him the story.
04:10 He said he would come.
04:12 We agreed to the story.
04:14 He said he would make a good script after 'Kaalidas'.
04:17 Miral agreed.
04:19 I was the next.
04:21 I asked him about the content.
04:23 He said he was looking at it.
04:25 He was very excited.
04:27 He said he was doing it immediately.
04:30 When we were discussing about Miral,
04:32 he came first.
04:34 We started before that.
04:36 He is very confident about this film.
04:39 He has been in this industry for 20 years.
04:42 He is very confident about this film.
04:45 He is very happy about it.
04:47 He is very confident about it.
04:49 He is very happy about it.
04:51 When you watch the trailer,
04:53 you start with a feel-good love story.
04:56 When you watch the trailer,
04:58 it is entirely different.
05:00 When you show that difference,
05:02 you will have a challenge.
05:04 You will have a challenge.
05:06 When you show that difference,
05:08 what are the challenges for you?
05:10 There are no challenges.
05:12 When the audience comes to the public,
05:15 we have to prepare a lot for the trailer.
05:18 The trailer will have only the film.
05:21 There are many more things.
05:23 We have a smooth sequence.
05:25 When Bharath sir makes a love film,
05:28 it is a love story between lovers.
05:31 It is a love couple.
05:33 After marriage, they face problems.
05:36 How do they deal with it?
05:38 How do they understand it?
05:40 How can they live without ego?
05:42 Everyone will connect with this film.
05:45 Not only the married couple.
05:47 Let it be a couple in love.
05:49 Let it be a couple in love.
05:51 Let it be a couple in love.
05:53 When they watch this film,
05:55 we have taken the things that they have faced.
05:58 We haven't remade Malayalam.
06:00 We have made some changes for Tamil.
06:02 They are used to seeing it.
06:04 Our Tamil audience will expect something different.
06:08 We have inserted a lot of things that they have heard.
06:13 When you watch it in the theatre,
06:15 you will know that it is a worthy film.
06:18 Vani Bhojan and Bharath sir
06:20 have seen this film in Miral.
06:22 You said it was a love film.
06:24 Was the film set before that?
06:26 Yes.
06:28 Before Bharath sir's film was released,
06:31 many people have heard this story.
06:33 Many people...
06:35 For example, Vani madam has heard this story.
06:38 But a different director said it.
06:40 It was around 5-6 heroes.
06:42 They said they would do it.
06:44 Luckily, Bharath sir's 50th movie was locked.
06:47 When they said Vani madam would do it,
06:50 I said, "Listen to this story.
06:52 I am waiting for this film."
06:54 It was an extraordinary performance.
06:56 It was a film that was a hero and a heroine at the same time.
07:00 Their performance was not to be praised.
07:03 When I saw them in person,
07:05 they were like a doll.
07:07 I couldn't hear them talk.
07:09 They were like hungry animals.
07:11 But in the frame,
07:13 after the action,
07:15 they acted like ghosts.
07:17 I don't know where they get the energy
07:19 and how they react.
07:21 I think they are still not as good as they used to be.
07:25 They will do many more big films.
07:27 I wish they do.
07:29 But you have many more chances after this film.
07:31 You said in the film 'Kaadhal',
07:33 there was a problem with love.
07:35 What was the problem with love?
07:37 This is a story that is related to
07:39 all the married couples.
07:41 You said this is love for the film.
07:43 Do you think you could have called it 'Kaadhal 2'?
07:47 All the press asked this question.
07:49 Actually, we agreed to 'Kaadhal 2' first.
07:52 When I was talking to Bharath sir,
07:54 he said that he would ask Shankar sir about 'Kaadhal'.
07:58 When I said 'Kaadhal 2',
08:00 it was like...
08:02 'Kaadhal' came, so 'Kaadhal 2'
08:04 Or let's say,
08:06 the making would be very stylish.
08:08 There would be a feeling of a Gautham Menon.
08:10 All the takings would be like that.
08:12 We had shot in style.
08:14 We didn't lock the title.
08:16 We could have gone with 'Love'.
08:18 It would have been a different feel.
08:20 It would have been connected worldwide.
08:22 It would have been something different.
08:24 It would have changed.
08:26 We could have gone with 'Love'.
08:28 We locked it.
08:30 But someone else had the title.
08:32 I requested him to give me the title.
08:34 I was doing my first film.
08:36 I had been in the industry for so many years.
08:38 He said, 'You are going to make a good film.'
08:40 'This title is better than what I have.'
08:42 He gave me the title.
08:44 You have worked in many Malayalam movies.
08:46 You had also released 'Pulimurugan' in Tamil.
08:50 What is the difference between the working pattern in Tamil and Malayalam?
08:56 I can't say much about the media.
09:02 The actors there are very simple.
09:06 They are very casual.
09:10 They respect us.
09:12 I'm not saying that Tamil cinema doesn't have that.
09:16 Some people get success if they are successful.
09:22 I'm very close to Mohanlal sir.
09:24 I'm working with Dulkar sir, Manju Chechi, Perithiraya sir.
09:28 I haven't seen anything from them.
09:30 They treat us like family.
09:32 But in cinema, they treat us like directors.
09:36 If we cut, they treat us like a team.
09:40 But they are not like that.
09:42 They respect us the same way they did 25 years ago.
09:46 The Malayalam field is different.
09:50 But Tamil has changed a lot.
09:52 The youngsters now are down to earth.
10:00 They get down to earth.
10:02 You are Vijay Sethupathi sir's close friend.
10:06 You should know about yourself before you interview him.
10:12 He has also done dubbing.
10:18 I do the dubbing of the character next to him.
10:22 We have known each other since then.
10:24 He is the same person I met the first time.
10:30 His 50th movie is coming up.
10:32 He hasn't changed a bit.
10:34 He is the same.
10:36 I'm happy.
10:38 People have chosen him because he is like that.
10:40 Everyone says that there is a character behind success.
10:44 That character is what stopped him.
10:46 Vijay Sethupathi sir is a good character.
10:50 He is a good man.
10:52 Do you have a plan to make a movie with him?
10:54 Have you written a story for him?
10:56 It's going on.
10:58 It will take another 5-6 years.
11:00 I have finished my next film 'Kulichavil'.
11:06 I'm planning a third project.
11:08 I'm planning a fourth project.
11:10 It could be my fifth movie.
11:12 But it's all up to God.
11:14 You have also produced a love movie.
11:18 What was the challenge as a producer?
11:22 You are right.
11:24 It's a lot of pain.
11:26 We have actors, team assistants.
11:28 I don't feel it's a burden.
11:30 I've been an assistant director for 26 years.
11:34 I've been in all the crafts.
11:36 It's a lot of work.
11:38 It's a lot of pain.
11:40 You have to pay for the movie.
11:42 You have to finish everything.
11:44 You can even come to the audio lens.
11:46 The release is a big...
11:48 It's impossible.
11:50 I've been watching a lot of movies.
11:52 I've been watching a lot of movies.
11:54 I've been watching a lot of movies.

12:24 Who is the easiest to work with?
12:26 Who is the easiest to work with?
12:28 Mohanlal sir.
12:30 His...
12:32 I worked with Pulimurugan in his first film.

12:36 He dubbed the film.

12:42 He saw me coming here.
12:44 He sat next to me and ate my first breakfast.
12:46 He sat next to me and ate my first breakfast.
12:48 He's a legend.
12:50 I'm just a normal dialogue writer.
12:52 I didn't want to be in the way of his dialogue.
12:54 I didn't want to be in the way of his dialogue.
12:56 I sat next to him and asked him what he wanted to eat.
12:58 I sat next to him and asked him what he wanted to eat.
13:00 I lost my fear.

13:04 I've seen some actors get angry when asked a few questions.

13:14 He asked me, "Bala, come here. What do you want?"

13:18 He said, "Your Tamil is mixed with Malayalam."
13:20 I said, "Yes, that's how it will be."
13:22 He said, "I want Tamil. You dub someone else."
13:24 He said, "I want Tamil. You dub someone else."
13:26 If I had spoken in Tamil, I would have been dubbed by someone else.
13:28 If I had spoken in Tamil, I would have been dubbed by someone else.
13:30 If I had spoken in Tamil, I would have been dubbed by someone else.
13:32 He said, "You decide."
13:34 He said, "It would be better if you do a little more."
13:36 He said, "It would be better if you do a little more."
13:38 I lost 40 takes.
13:40 I lost 40 takes.
13:42 He said, "Bala, call me at 1 o'clock at night and I'll tell you the dialogue."
13:44 He said, "Bala, call me at 1 o'clock at night and I'll tell you the dialogue."
13:46 He said, "Bala, call me at 1 o'clock at night and I'll tell you the dialogue."
13:48 He was a very decent person.

14:30 If the audience had seen the film directly,

14:34 it would have looked like a twist.
14:36 You revealed it so boldly.

14:48 It would have been a different story.
14:50 It would have been a different story.
14:52 You would have seen it in the trailer.
14:54 But the trailer was not for that.
14:56 It was only connected to the film.
14:58 There was a lot of travel beyond that.
15:00 When we saw the audience,
15:02 we would say, "This girl is dead. Okay."
15:04 We would say, "This girl is dead. Okay."
15:06 We would say, "This girl is dead. Okay."
15:08 We would say, "This girl is dead. Okay."

15:32 They didn't spend two hours for us.
15:34 They didn't spend two hours for us.
