00:00Hi, this is Rana Daggubati for YouTube.
00:19Today is the time that technology needs to be given to those storytellers and those film
00:44makers to make those global products.
00:46And then you know we are not very far away from getting a lot of global products to the world.
00:51How many partner numbers has been extremely special?
01:10I mean because there was those years, those 4, 3 and a half years before it actually released
01:16right?
01:17Where only we knew what was going on.
01:20And it was scale that we have never seen, scale that we have never imagined.
01:24It was doing everything for the first time ever, like every single thing that was done
01:28was done for the first time.
01:29But partly we understood what to do at least.
01:31So I think that learning 3, 3 and a half years will always be extremely special because there
01:37was too much information that came in and endless possibilities that came in.
02:07It's funny enough when I grew up in Hyderabad, I moved from Chennai.
02:16I lived in a home where it was actually a shooting house.
02:19So the house was built for shooting and then I moved into that house.
02:22So except our bedrooms, rest of the place used to be shooting happening.
02:26So I lived on a set.
02:28So you lived on a side travel life.
02:29Yeah, I lived on a set in that sense.
02:30Like I used to probably get breakfast 60% of the time on a set and then went to school.
02:34When we were in Chennai or any time, wherever we moved, we always had a room which was,
02:39whether it's a house, it was big or small.
02:41A place where you watch movies was always very dedicated, very soundless, careful and
02:46all of that was, there was a large importance.
02:50Was it like the most serious room in the house?
02:52More than serious, it used to be there.
02:54That used to be a definitive part.
02:56See today everyone has home theatres and stuff like that.
02:58But back then, I mean, we probably didn't have a hall but we'll have a place to watch movies.
03:02So that was important.
03:04And I think all my childhood I just watched all of those LDs and I just learned what to do.
03:27I think everyone comes with a set of challenges I've had.
03:30I've had my share of ice, other parts of my body.
03:33It was a lot of different things that I've seen in my life.
03:36But it ultimately doesn't matter.
03:38I'm saying, what's next?
03:40I mean, you have to figure out a way to get up on your feet and just keep going.
03:43And I think that's what drives me.
03:46Because I need something to go forward to and I think my stories are there to keep me going constantly.
04:00I've been here all my life, 16 years in Mumbai.
04:18And it has always been to tell a better story.
04:21And to tell those stories in the best possible way.
04:24I think tech is aiding us so much we want to take as much as it involves us.
04:30So media has become such an integral part of anything that we do in society today.
04:34And video has been the only and probably fastest way to communicate.
04:39Especially in a country like India where reading is not the first thing that we go to as a culture.
04:45So video has just kind of taken that big emergence.
04:48And I think it's become a much bigger business play to be in.
04:52And unless as a company you're part of all of that, I don't think we can actually make products with power.
04:58If I wasn't investing, if I wasn't in tech, would I be able to do the kind of films that I am?
05:21I don't think so.
05:23So I think it was a requirement for making films.
05:26I think that was ultimately what I wanted to do and what I will continue doing.
