00:00 Namaskaram to everyone.
00:02 This is my second press meet in Hyderabad after Ashwin's.
00:24 After Jailor, a movie I am expecting a lot from is Weapon.
00:33 This movie is getting ready now.
00:36 I was with the producer, actually I wanted to ask producer Mansoor sir.
00:41 Sir, the release date is not fixed yet, but why do you want to do a press meet so soon?
00:47 The producer told me that he wanted to position the movie and market it in such a way that no one will do it hereafter.
00:57 It will be a stand-by or an example for many such producers.
01:02 So this meet with the Hyderabad Press & Media will be an introduction meet for Weapon and what Weapon is all about.
01:09 Because in Chennai, a lot of people were asking me, "Who are the million studios and who is the producer?"
01:17 I was asking, "Why?"
01:20 Then they said, "They are spending so much for a film like that and there is a lot of publicity and marketing happening in Chennai. How?"
01:30 I was like, "They are very passionate producers, they believe in the content and they want to position it in such a way that it creates a lot of expectations among the audience."
01:41 It is very rare to get such a producer. Thank you Mansoor sir, million studios and Abdul sir.
01:47 You need a good heart like Meena ma'am here to actually support such a film.
01:55 It takes a lot of effort, a lot of love. Thanks a lot ma'am, it means a lot for us.
02:02 I wanted to tell you about Gowen.
02:06 After narrating this movie, I was like, "What is this? It is like a Japanese comic, like a Hollywood DC comic, it is an idea with a lot of inspiration."
02:22 I asked him, "You got a lot of inspiration from all these comics?"
02:26 He said, "Yes bro, I wanted to do something like this. We should do it like this in Tamil, Telugu, it will work out in all the languages."
02:36 Then I was like, "Okay, fine, Gowen, it is very interesting, we will do it."
02:41 But I had a character in the film, a superhuman character, I was wondering who would play that character.
02:51 I asked him, "Sathyaraj sir said okay bro, so he is doing it."
02:57 I was so happy that this particular character, if you watch the film, our physique, our face expressions, our performance will only match Sathyaraj sir.
03:11 I was so happy that Sathyaraj sir is here, so thank you so much.
03:17 Sharing screen space with him is such an honour.
03:21 I want to tell you about Raju Menon sir.
03:27 I am a big fan of sir's films, Tamil, Mithun Sarakanavu, Kandukondi.
03:34 It is one of my all time favourite films.
03:36 I have a wish, I want to act as an actor in his film.
03:44 I don't know if that will happen or not.
03:47 But acting with sir in this film, it was a beautiful experience that this happened.
03:53 So I was so honoured to work with you sir.
03:57 Again, Raju Pillai and Tanya are such amazing actors, co-stars.
04:05 It is a pleasure to be here in front of you.
04:11 I want you all to watch Weapon. It is a new superhuman concept.
04:19 Thank you all so much.
04:29 Thanks.
