Transcript

00:00I've been introduced into the world of Daiva Radhane and Bhuta Kolas.

00:04It's not something I was familiar with as a child.

00:07Ritual or belief from maybe Coastal Karnataka that you still follow?

00:11You know, I'm not actually from the region of Coastal Karnataka.

00:14I've learned a lot and I'm very grateful to have learned a lot about the region

00:16through this film and the last film.

00:19The last film as an audience member and this film as an actor who's part of it.

00:22So, I've been introduced into the world of Daiva Radhane and Bhuta Kolas.

00:27It's not something I was familiar with as a child.

00:30Are you superstitious in that sense?

00:32I'm not superstitious, I wouldn't say.

00:34There is a particular temple in Bangalore that has been a place of peace for me

00:39for many, many years, especially when I started my career and I didn't have a lot of work.

00:43So, I do go back there every time I get a film or every time I finish a film successfully.

00:48So, that place is very special to me.

00:49You've done so many films in different languages.

00:51What is there one word you think is really difficult to translate into English?

00:55Oh, wow.

00:55There's a word in Kannada.

00:59This is just the first thing that comes to mind.

01:01There's a word in Kannada called Hata.

01:03I don't know how to translate it.

01:04I can't translate it.

01:06But, yeah.

01:07It's just people who speak Kannada will know what the word is.

01:10But, yeah.

01:11What does it mean?

01:12I can't translate it very well.

01:14The closest possible translation would be something like stubbornness.

01:18You know, Zid, perhaps, would be the closest translation in Hindi.

01:22Lol.

01:24Lol.
