00:00So I'll start I mean so this is something that I've done already five six
00:10years back I've done a movie called Mikhail and I played a part called Marco
00:14in it so me and Hanif and the writer director thought it definitely has a
00:19sequence the possibility of getting a sequel done over the period of time we
00:24were convinced that this is the right time to go ahead with the project and we
00:28got in touch with Sharif Mohammed who was the producer of this film so me and
00:33Sharif co-produced it and the idea was discussed we loved it and in my career
00:39it was also a time wherein I thought I should venture into action organically
00:45we got in touch with Kabir who's been doing really well and then Yukti Goham
00:48we brought Yukti on board we brought Mr. Rai Basu on board
00:52Shamir Mohammed and a technically strong team knowing that action movies
01:00does have a audience of its own we made a good film and I'm pretty happy that
01:04it's doing really well
01:22I want to be the part of this film and I'm glad I'm a part of this film
01:27yeah man I'm a big fan of action films and when Hanif Bhai narrated this film
01:34so I was looking for this kind of film for a long time and I immediately said
01:41yes because I haven't done any action like this. I've been working in the industry for a long time
01:45but I haven't done any action that much brutal and this character and that
01:51got kicked me off and after meeting Unni I became more sure that we are making something like this
01:57and then we met and we did it amazing team Hanif sir director
02:03Sharif bhai producer and Chandru sir DOP of the film so you've seen the trailer
02:08and the teaser so it's amazing and so we delivered a good content and we are
02:15very happy that films is doing really well so thanks to my team Unni Bhai and
02:20Hanif and Sharif Bhai for making part of Marko
02:28so basically like I said the design was like this from the beginning
02:33but when we wanted to redo it again we wanted to make sure that
02:39it should be something that connects with people
02:41it shouldn't be like someone is coming and making noise
02:44I just wanted to make sure that people are in a position to connect to it emotionally
02:49but also we wanted to compromise on the styling part
02:52because the decor of Marko was, you can say it now
02:57what's the term like Alpha Sigma all of that
03:00we wanted people to really connect to the character at the same time
03:04at one point feel connected to it
03:07that's when the storyline comes in
03:10like the story had so much power that you can take it forward
03:14and I'm glad that we had made a film which is
03:18though it is touted as to be the most violent film
03:21I would personally say it's a movie of a guy who is going all guns
03:26anyone can do anything for their family
03:29it's a family film based back by a lot of good action
03:39yeah I mean it wasn't like a show piece
03:41I never felt it because
03:44I was very raw
03:47I was not wearing any makeup
03:50and I was just wearing a normal kurti and a pony
03:54and yes and I always knew that
03:57this film is about a character who is Marko
04:00and I'm a part of his life
04:05and I always knew that
04:07and I think it doesn't matter how much screen presence you have
04:11it's about the character you're playing
04:14and yeah
04:21no it's not like that
04:22there was a film called Mardani
04:24if you saw Tahir Rajbhasin's work in Mardani
04:26people loved it
04:28so he's not a tall or broad guy
04:30it's just that the script demands
04:32like in Marko he's looking damn good
04:35and he's a macho man
04:38so there was a demand for a villain
04:40who looks like two tigers
04:42in Bahubali the character played by Rana Daggupati
04:44there was a demand for that character
04:46opposite Prabhas
04:47there was a character called Ballal Dev
04:49who should face Prabhas sir
04:53so it's not like the story demands
04:55that we want to see a villain who is tall and broad
04:57if a periodic film is being made
04:59if a hardcore action film is being made
05:01so now Mr. Hrithik is there
05:03so now Mr. Hrithik is there
05:05so of course opposite him
05:07there won't be a good villain
05:09so it's not like that
05:16it's not like that
05:17I was getting good calls for years
05:19it's just I was looking for a good script
05:21and where I've done a lot of films
05:24that could do justice to my life
05:26that yeah I've done good films
05:28I believe that an actor's debut should be good
05:32like in Telugu my debut was in Jil
05:35that's how I got recognition
05:37so Prabhas Sir was a producer
05:38it was a very big film
05:39in Tamil my debut was opposite Ajit Kumar
05:41it was a very big film
05:42it was a very big hit
05:43in Kannada my debut was opposite Kicha Sudeep
05:46here in Malayalam I did a film with Mammootty sir
05:49then with Tovino sir
05:50then with Unni
05:51and I got a lot of love from here after Marko
05:53so I did my first Hindi film last year
05:56it's a film by Mehmet Khan Productions
05:58a film called Baap
06:00which has Sanjay Dutt, Sunny Deol, Mithun Da, Jackie Shroff
06:03so I'm coming opposite these four legends

06:08just a little reshoot is left
06:09and then that's my debut
06:11although in a film I did opposite Nawazuddin Siddiqui

06:18it's just that when you do a good job
06:20you stay in search of good work
