00:00If you had to pick a stand-up comedian, who would it be?
00:11As you all know, my relationship with AVR has been the longest.
00:18We have done a lot of different activities and business proposals.
00:25I am very happy. Anurag sir is a legend.
00:29AVR bringing them here today to do a film together.
00:34I feel very proud.
00:36I am proud of Arvind.
00:38If we want to do something, we have to do it in a different way.
00:43I am very happy welcoming him to Sandalwood.
00:46I always say, wherever we go, everyone should remember us.
00:51We have to take our home state, Sandalwood with us.
00:56So, we are bringing everyone here.
00:58I am very happy.
00:59AVR is now in the film industry.
01:01How has he helped you?
01:05I think, if you have passion and compassion, you can achieve anything.
01:10It's a simple story.
01:12AVR is doing really well in sports also.
01:16I have worked with celebrities as a brand ambassador and partner.
01:21So, I am very happy.
01:23It's possible to take big steps from small steps.
01:28We have taken a very special step.
01:31I hope that it does really well.
01:40Ragini has given a statue of Sai Baba to Anurag Kashyap.
01:46Anurag Kashyap is giving an entry to our Sandalwood.
01:53I was saying, why did a scientist come to the film industry?
01:59He said, it's better to do a film theatre course than to sit in a lab.
02:04So, it's possible now.
02:08The main pillars of this film will come on the stage.
02:15Our friends from Madhyama, please come to our stage.
02:21Basically, he looks very...
02:29When we talk to him, he looks like a person who laughs all the time.
02:37He looks like a person who can make any kind of film.
02:43Is Anurag Kashyap really humorous?
02:45He can. He might be.
02:48He is asking whether you are humorous.
02:50He is.
02:52When he used to talk with a smile, it would be a hit.
02:57He is a person who loves to laugh.
03:00He might be able to make a different kind of film.
03:03You said that Anurag Kashyap was the one who needed the story.
03:09What is the political reason for choosing Anurag Kashyap as the director?
03:16Is it a personal wish or a story interest?
03:21I had a personal wish to work with Anurag Kashyap.
03:26But, you won't believe me.
03:30This is the only photo I have clicked.
03:35Why I will refer this all the time?
03:39Designer Abhishek is sitting here.
03:44He asked me to design this photo.
03:47I told him to do it.
03:49He asked me to wait for half an hour.
03:51I told him that I am the director.
03:54He asked me to wait for half an hour.
03:57I told him to wait.
03:59But, he didn't get half an hour.
04:01So, he gave me this photo.
04:03What I am trying to say is...
04:05If he had designed it on one side...
04:08What was his condition?
04:10How many days he didn't sleep?
04:12If he had designed it on the other side...
04:14He just came and did his make-up.
04:16I told him to wait.
04:18He asked me one question.
04:20What is the reason?
04:22I told him the reason.
04:24He told me that Kadaibhujam is the reason.
04:26He told me that I have to do the rest.
04:28He told me that I have to do the rest.
04:30He told me that I have to do the rest.
04:32He told me that I have to do the rest.
04:34He told me that I act very well.
04:36He told me that I act very well.
04:38He told me that I act very well.
04:40The next question was...
04:42The next question was...
04:44Next question was...
04:46What do you want to achieve?
04:48What is the desire?
04:50What is the desire?
04:52What is the desire?
04:54If you had rejected the project...
04:56What would you like to do?
04:58My boss would have given a really good answer.
05:00I don't know who my boss is.
05:02He is very strict.
05:34My connection with Kannada industry actually, in a strange way, goes back to a long time.
05:47I was here in the 90s, I saw the shooting of Upendra.
05:52I was on the ship set.
05:54I went to Mangalore or Udipi.
05:59And I remember Ramgopal Varma, who is my mentor, he asked me to see 2-3 films.
06:08One was Telugu film and two films for Upendra, A and O.
06:11The Telugu film was Krishnamoorthy's.
06:14And he was shooting for a film called Prem Kathak.
06:18So I spent that time in the 90s in Mangalore.
06:22And we used to have an office in Chennai where I was working with Mani sir and Ramgopal Varma.
06:28Everybody has to have an office.
06:30I was a very young writer.
06:32I started.
06:34There is a tribute to Dr. Rajkumar in my film Yellow Boots.
06:39You saw.
06:42And I got Gulshan Devaiah, who actually should be acting in both my films.
06:47Because he is actually from there.
06:49And now I have just recently produced a film which was in Berlin, Bhagatji Pani, which is a Kannada film.
06:57By Natesh Hegde.
06:59Natesh Hegde and Rajbir Shetty have also done a small role in my film.
07:04In Hindi film.
07:06Rajbir Shetty left everything and came and gave me 5 days of his life to act in my role.
07:12So we are connected through cinema.
07:14Vishabh, I keep talking to because he was the one who made Bhagatji Pani possible.
07:20And I later on came on board to finish the film.
07:24So I have been talking to people here a lot.
07:28And I have been following up on cinema a lot.
07:31I remember when first KGF was made.
07:34Yash had come with the film all the way to Bombay.
07:38Show us the film, trying to get a buy-in.
07:41So there is some kind of a connection.
07:44Connection is largely through cinema. It's not just the language.
07:47The language of cinema kind of connects people.
07:50Transcends all barriers.
07:52So we are connected.
07:55The character that I played in Raigruth Luv is a Mangalorean.
08:01You once directed a film.
08:04Which Kannada hero would you choose as the director?
08:08Right now, the actor that is very exciting.
08:21I have recently discovered and worked with is Raj Bishetti.
08:24In films, there is a lot of crime.
08:31In films with this kind of a character, there is crime and rowdyism.
08:36In films, there is no romance or heroine.
08:38Why is that?
08:50I have made love stories. I have made Manmarziya, Devdi.
08:53It's not like that.
08:55People remember me for gangsters.
08:58But you should also see the love stories I have made.
09:01There are lots of actors and actresses.
09:04I cast from everywhere, based on the role.
09:17Your son is a mentor to Ram Gopal Varma.
09:20Ram Gopal Varma was famous for his controversy in films.
09:25Your films were similar to that.
09:28Your son is a mentor to Ram Gopal Varma.
09:31Your films were similar to that.
09:42Ram Gopal Varma was famous for his controversy in films.
09:47Your films were similar to that.
09:59The path that he wants to go on is fine.
10:03Recently, we saw Satya together.
10:05He is now seriously wanting to make a comeback to the films that he was known for.
10:11Once a mentor, always a mentor.
10:18He might become controversial. He might say what he wants to say.
10:22When I call him, he is still Ram Gopal Varma.
10:26When I call him, he is still Ram Gopal Varma.
10:29He is a very knowledgeable man.
10:31He knows what he is doing.
10:33He is having a bit of fun. Let him have fun.
10:41There are a lot of films about sports.
10:44There is cricket, football, basketball.
10:48There are a lot of recent films.
10:51Why is 8 films so special?
10:54It's because of Anurag Kashyap.
10:57What else does he do?
11:00In all sports films, there is a team.
11:04In the last two films, there is an opposite team.
11:07In the last film, there is a motivation.
11:10In the end, the hero team wins.
11:13This happens in all sports.
11:15In volleyball, etc.
11:17He will teach life in climax.
11:20He will teach life in climax.
11:23He will teach life in climax.
11:26In sports films, there is a motivation.
11:29In sports films, there is a motivation.
11:32That's why you have to watch this film.
11:35Normally, there is a win-lose situation.
11:38Normally, there is a win-lose situation.
11:41But, you have to win by losing.
11:44You have to live with it.
11:47You have to live by telling about it.
11:50That's your life.
11:53That's what's special about this film.
11:56That's what's special about this film.
11:59You did a comedy with Sagni Pintu in a recent comparison.
12:02You did a comedy with Sagni Pintu in a recent comparison.
12:05The producer is here.
12:08Sagni Pintu is also one of my favorites.
12:11How can a person be so funny?
12:13How can you act in a serious and life-telling story?
12:17Is that a challenge for you?
12:19Not many people know about it.
12:21It's been 35 years since I started acting in a serious theatre.
12:27I have been acting in a serious theatre since then.
12:31People have taken it back and do fun characters.
12:33Comedy characters.
12:35They have not seen me on the other side.
12:37I have not been given the opportunity to say that I have seen me on the other side.
12:45I have not told it to the director.
12:47I do comedy.
12:49Many directors have told me that they don't have any comedy characters.
12:53I have been told that.
12:55They feel that there is no comedy character.
12:57I have been told that.
12:59I have been told that.
13:01I have been told that.
13:03I have been told that.
13:05I have tried to play this character a few times.
13:11I have been told that it has given me strength.
13:13No기가.
13:15Mr. Ajith knows where he is.
13:17I've made plans to create some or the other one.
13:19I've made plans to create some or the other one.
13:21It was possible to get Anuraag rejection.
13:23It wasn't possible to stress from us before.
13:25It wasn't possible.
13:27That is good you did.
13:29Is Anurag Kashyap difficult for you to maintain or is it easy for you to maintain Anurag Kashyap?
13:39Sir, are you costly sir? Are you costly?
13:45I am very costly compared to what religion, what region cinema is made in.
13:53It's easy, sir. The rent is easy.
14:00Sir, I have a small request to make.
14:07There is no one like Sivela Annamalai Dickey.
14:13Who needs him? I have a desire to meet Anurag Kashyap.
14:18I have taken 2 days time.
14:21After 2 days, I will get a call.
14:24I have met someone. You don't have to ask.
14:26I have met him. You will get half an hour's time with him.
14:31You don't believe me, but he has 2 days of editing.
14:35If you enter his house, there will be 3000 CDs lying on the floor.
14:393000 CDs. That's why my first question to him is...
14:43Can robbers enter your house?
14:47No, you are not allowed. You can't enter my house.
14:51Because he has the best CDs in the world.
14:54He is a true lover of cinema.
14:58When you have such a passion and effort, it's a blessing.
15:03I got the opportunity.
15:06I did what I wanted to do. I agreed to it.
15:09The rest is up to me.
