00:00Hey brother!
00:26Emperor!
00:28Amen!
00:36The stars are very highly idolized in the South.
00:40Yeah, of course, in South India, their fan base is very different.
00:45Around 3,000 crore turnover came from Tamil cinema.
00:483,000 to 3,200 crore came from Telecinema.
00:52We don't induce saying, okay, do this so that publicity comes.
00:54At least I wouldn't do it.
00:55What is happening also, I can't stop it.
00:57It is nothing wrong in being a fan.
00:59It is the obsession that we are talking about.
01:04If the R.A.M.O.V. was not made,
01:06I would not have been sitting here.
01:08Or like, you know, say, maybe I would have committed suicide.
01:11I don't know.
01:14So revenues will come only depending upon your stardom.
01:22Without fans, this business is nothing.
01:24When we talk about intense obsession, fanaticism, that by itself, I think is an indication that it is extreme.
01:44They are all psychophants.
01:45They are all psychophants.
01:50I think it is a bad guy.
01:52I think it is a bad guy.
01:55I think it is a bad guy.
01:56We don't need to have no doubt.
01:57And I think it is crazy about how it is a bad guy.
01:59I think it is crazy.
02:00I don't think he is too lazy.
02:01I think he is a bad guy is too lazy.
02:02I think it is the only key to see the encima of the people that we are getting on the screen.
02:04the cinema has become a part of the culture you know cinema used to just be as one of one source
02:29of entertainment now cinema has become a very strong integral part of the culture
02:34i think everyone looks at a film actor and derives a vicarious pleasure
02:41what he can't do that guy is doing so there is that little bit of
02:51that guy
02:58As an actor, if you want to have a great career, I don't think you can do it without a fan base.
03:25A normal fan just admires the on-screen presence of the star, enjoys, discusses with friends, uses act purely at a social and an entertainment level and it stops.
03:38But when we talk about intense obsession, fanaticism, then that by itself, I think, is an indication that it is extreme.
03:55The South Indian fan is probably far more committed to his hero than the Hindi film fan.
04:11Yeah, of course, in South India, we have their fan bases very different.
04:15I think the stars are very highly idolized in the South, more than anywhere predominantly in the world that I have seen.
04:25Unlike in Hindi cinema, where they are considered as heroes, there will be some craze and all.
04:29But here, the craze goes to the extent of treating them as gods.
04:33You can see this Abhishekam, Pal Abhishekam, which is carried out right in front of the theatres.
04:50And inside the theatres, it does not stop with whistles.
04:54Several other celebrations are there, which you are not talking about.
05:14The research into the Celebrity Worship Syndrome, when we look into it, they say that the fans who go on to this obsessive level, the fanaticism.
05:23So, psychological attributes, one, low sense of self-esteem.
05:33There is also body image disorders.
05:37So, as a child, if there were some difficulties in forming the solid sense of self,
05:42these are the group who are most vulnerable to go on into this absorption addiction model.
05:53It's not like an actor-fan relationship for me.
06:09For me, it's like he's my elder brother, and I'm his younger brother.
06:12Myself is Suji Thomas, and I hail from Sultanah Bateri.
06:18Why not this is from Kerala?
06:19In my fan circle, they used to tell me that this is our temple.
06:35For me, it's like, it's my life.
06:43If you wanted me to tell him one way, it's my life.
06:49It's not a room, it's my life.
06:53Basically, my mother tongue is Malayala.
06:55I learned Telugu to tell me just for Bannigaru, because I just wanted to talk to him.
07:04Sometimes I feel low.
07:06So, at that time, you know what I do is, like, I will sit in my room alone, and I began to speak to him.
07:12Like, I will, like, imagine he's there, and I began to talk.
07:15Bannigaru, this happened.
07:17Bannigaru, this happened.
07:18That happened.
07:18Randomly, people come into my room, and they will see, like, I'm talking, and then they think, like, he's crazy.
07:27What is he doing?
07:28He's talking alone.
07:29So, people will think I'm nuts.
07:37I'm born with cleft lip and cleft palate.
07:42When I was younger, people used to tease me.
07:45They used to call me, like, Mokroodem, which means the person with nose bent, okay.
07:53Basically, people mocked me for my voice.
07:56So, I was very afraid to talk to someone.
07:58So, that thing had a great impact on me.
08:01And second thing is that, of course, because of the abuse, the physical abuse.
08:08After this issue, like, this abuse once happened, I always felt empty.
08:15So, I felt, always, I felt that if I got a brother, I can talk with my brother.
08:21When I saw the movie, Arya, for the first time, at that time, I was 11 years old.
08:34From there, I felt something where between me and Bunny, and the...
08:39Allergen, sir.
08:41We got connected with that body, Brother Shukum.
08:44So, this is actually called a parasocial relationship, which is basically a one-sided relationship that a fan has for a celebrity.
09:09The intensity of the preoccupation increases.
09:12It becomes an obsessional content.
09:17I also felt, you know, like, let me control my fanism.
09:23Because other people are easily getting out, and they are hurting my parents also, my father, my mother.
09:30I was able to tell you, I was able to tell you, I was able to tell you, I was able to tell you, I was able to tell you.
09:34I was able to tell you, I was able to tell you, that you were able to tell me, I was able to tell you, I was able to tell you.
09:47How many tattoos do you have of Allergen?
09:51I have 32 tattoos of Allergen, sir.
09:54Because of these tattoos, people began to tell me that I'm a ganja addict and they began
10:04to tell me that I'm crazy.
10:06Whenever I get this tattoo, I feel some kind of, you can say, like a relief or I feel more
10:15like becoming more closer to my brother, like you see, it's basically a way of showing my
10:21love.
10:24It is the cultural form of worshipping.
10:29We are iconophiles.
10:30We love to have images, but I think when it comes to a celebrity worship, it also, I think
10:35we have to include this thing of self-identification, wanting to identify, wanting to revere.
10:42So this is more complex and that is why intense emotions are at play here.
10:49Some people told me, bro, you are going to hell.
10:52You are definitely, you are going to hell.
10:54Because you are supposed to worship the god.
10:57But you are worshipping an actor.
10:59Do you really worship Allu Arjun?
11:00Oh.
11:01When the celebrity, whom they really revere, is sick, we have instances where the fans carry
11:06out elaborate rituals, which could also involve a lot of pain that they endure.
11:11they pierce their tongue.
11:12When there is a self-destructed
11:13When there is a self-destructed
11:17act, there is also a release of certain kind of chemicals called endogenous opioids, which
11:22is actually our innate mechanisms of our system in order to numb the pain.
11:29contrary to the belief that it is painful, it might be a very pleasurable experience.
11:30When there is a self-destructed act, there is also a release of certain kind of chemicals
11:44called endogenous opioids, which is actually our innate mechanisms of our system in order to
11:50numb the pain.
11:52Contrary to the belief that it is painful, it might be a very pleasurable experience for
11:59that person.
12:00My name is Appa Amma.
12:05My name is Golden Saravan.
12:07My name is Golden Saravan.
12:10My name is Golden Saravan.
12:12My name is Dells.
12:21I'mtext of Dells.
12:23My name is Dejaan.
12:24I have a male name.
12:25I will find a place in the place under the name.
12:28I am a male name.
12:29The name is Hameen.
12:30When I am a male name.
12:31I am a male name.
12:33Your name is Hameen.
12:35My name is Hameen.
12:37I am a current Sour.
12:40You've got a job-in to make a choices.
12:50To show up you'd like to know who this is.
12:55You're not going to know what it is.
12:58You're going to be creating a list of ideas for this.
13:01The Saves are making a list of ideas.
13:03Not really, but anything to do if you're creating a list of ideas.
13:08Also, it says about Jeevaji when Jeevaji is like here.
13:15Are there any thought you made these at the age level?
13:18It sure is a proud triumph for the title of Jeevaji.
13:22It is a good value, too.
13:26Now people have a very different experience to understand.
13:31Second, the challenge has been a change.
13:33They have a change.
13:38That's what I was trying to do.
13:40If you see him, he's going to kill you.
13:43You can kill him.
13:45If you see him, he's going to kill you.
13:47You can kill me.
13:49You can kill him.
13:51You can kill him.
13:53I'm a little bit more.
13:54Don't kill him.
13:56Don't kill him.
13:58I'm a kid.
14:00There's a lot of Talaivar.
14:02That's why Talaivar.
14:04I don't know them.
14:06In the Tamil culture, putting oneself harm, inducing harm, is one way of showing a lot of love, a lot of honor, respect to another person.
14:21This is a form of culture which has been glorified.
14:26I have done that for a while.
14:30I have done that for a while.
14:33Do you see who you are in the same way?
14:37That's what my dad told me about.
14:39That's what I can tell you about in my family.
14:45When I came to the jail, I came to the jail.
14:50That's what I told you about.
14:54That's not your fault?
14:56Yes.
14:56How did you get to the jail?
14:57Yes.
14:58Do you want to get to the jail?
15:03He's larger than life.
15:25If you see the fan following around him, it's crazy.
15:29Superstar Rajnikanth, I mean, he's loved across the world.
15:34You go to any part of the world, they know who Rajnikanth is.
15:38Yasuda Hidetoshi is a Japanese fan of Rajnikanth who travels to India to watch his films.
15:45He also heads a Rajnikanth fan club in Japan.
15:50After India cinema, it's Tamil which is releasing in largest number of countries.
15:54Telugu, if you look at it, it's more dominant in USA and North America.
15:57But whereas if you look at it, you know, Tamil, it's like today, 35 countries it's releasing.
16:02So the global reach of South Indian cinema is huge.
16:06They love our heroes because they feel that they are very natural.
16:10They are great fun.
16:12Southern actors are somehow more relatable.
16:16And they are more real for us than a Western actor would be.
16:20Rajnikanth is definitely one of the biggest superstars.
16:25But he was not the first one.
16:27If you look at it, Tamil cinema created M.K. Thiaharaja Bhavadar as the first superstar in 1936 onwards.
16:40And then until 1945, he was ruling, 1947.
16:43Women used to stand outside his house waiting to see him go by in a car.
16:47There were trains which the government, the British government, organized for people to go watch a Bhagavadar Nadagam drama and get back.
16:59It used to be called the Bhagavadar special.
17:03That was the kind of worship people had for him.
17:0547 comes, you know, M.G. Ramachandran.
17:08And then 50, he becomes a superstar.
17:10M.G. Ramachandran, also known as M.G.R., was the first film actor to become a chief minister in India in the year 1977.
17:20In Ramarau's case, his fan base shot up after he started playing Hindu gods.
17:28Because he was acting as Lord Krishna in so many films, everybody started revering him as God.
17:35He is, M.G. Ramarau is God for the people of Andhra Pradesh.
17:38So they made him as a CM.
17:39Within, you know, six months, he came into the politics.
17:43He was actually inspired by M.G. Ramachandran.
17:45But M.G.R. built a career, you know, cinema and politics simultaneously.
17:491952 onwards, he was building up for 20 years continuously till 72, politics one side along with cinema.
17:57If you look at M.G.R., the roles that he portrayed, the saviour of the oppressed, the messiah and fighter of all injustice and also the guardians of Tamil culture.
18:09So here, the persona of the hero is so, so much so, it becomes larger than life.
18:19The person's name is M.G.R. gopalakrishnan.
18:24By the way, I know your name is M.G.R. gopalakrishnan.
18:29He is about to stop the world of M.G.R. gopalakrishnan.
18:42All of us will be able to see MGR Gopala Krishna as well.
18:50If you have fun to see all of you in a car,
18:53you will see a lot of people on the bike.
18:59I have another place in the main park.
19:02In the main park, all of the park will be in the car.
19:06I have a lot of people who come to the MGRs.
19:10The MGRs have a different costume.
19:15There are different costumes that come to the MGRs.
19:20I have to use the MGRs to cover.
19:29If anyone wants to go to this place, I would like to go to M.J.R.
19:38Dad, I would like to go to M.J.R. and I would like to go to M.J.R.
19:44I would like to talk to M.J.R.
19:47I would like to talk to M.J.R.
19:50Keeping somebody is also adulation.
19:53I cannot be him.
19:55Can I be a part of him?
19:57Can I at least look like him?
19:59I think we just have to see the amount of involvement in playing that role
20:03to determine the degree of fanaticism.
20:10One, my name is M.J. Gowardhana Krishnan.
20:15Two, M.J. Mayuravalli Darshini.
20:19Three, M.J. Harshini Rangana.
20:24Two, my name is M.J.R.
20:44I am a friend of MGR.
20:46I am a friend of MGR.
20:48I am a friend of MGR.
20:54I can see MGR's first screen.
20:58I can see MGR's first screen.
21:00I can see that MGR's first screen.
21:02I can see that I am very careful.
21:10Where are you going to be MGR's costume?
21:13I am a friend of MGR's.
21:16We are wearing a coat,
21:17a pair of gold sticks.
21:22I am a friend of MGR.
21:24My friends are wearing costumes.
21:31Do you still wear bikes?
21:32I have to wear an old age.
21:35I have to wear 6-7-7.
21:37You can't wear a new age.
21:40From the beginning, I had a slight thought that came from the beginning.
21:49I didn't know what to do with my dedication.
21:53Now, I don't know what to say or say.
22:00That's why M.J.R., come to M.J.R.
22:03Come to M.J.R. and tell the kids.
22:05I'm going to tell the kids.
22:07I'm going to tell the kids.
22:10I'm going to tell the kids.
22:14There is a blurring of the self here,
22:20who actually start dressing like their role models.
22:23So, that is one extent.
22:25But later, if you see, there is an absorption,
22:28a complete absorption of that celebrity into them,
22:32which finally, the blur is completely lost.
22:35And this is when they even feel that they are the ones to protect the ideologies of the celebrity.
22:44If you think, if you don't have a relationship,
22:46you will be better than you.
22:47If you don't have a relationship, you will be better than you.
22:49You will become aương and to respect.
22:50The Blueprint of M.J.R.
22:51This has something to tell me.
22:53Is only my hookedness.
22:54authenticated by a huge tragedy.
22:55I am going to say something like that.
22:58A Girl with Death of M.J.R.
22:59Somebody has superhuman attributes, somebody whom I identified, somebody whom I rever, and
23:10it's very easy for the Tamil psyche to elevate them, to put them on a pedestal, to start
23:16worshipping them.
23:17Today, your success is dependent on do you have hardcore fans or not for you, Philip.
23:47If you do not have a hardcore fan, your film is one among so many films which are coming
23:53in in the week.
23:56And without those fan bases, there is no revenue back.
24:00So revenues will come only depending upon your stardom.
24:05Theatrical success is the biggest revenue on earth.
24:07Around 44% come from South India and 6% come from all the other regional languages and close
24:13to 50% come from Hindi cinema.
24:15Hindi cinema contributes significantly, but then immediately after that, the bigger contribution
24:20comes from Telugu, then Tamil.
24:22Around 3,000 crore turnover came from Tamil cinema, 3,000 to 3,200 crore came from Telugu cinema.
24:28So we are talking about a large contribution coming from these two languages.
24:34If fans are not there, means you know your film doesn't take off.
24:44Fans are the fundamental strength of a film.
24:47A fan is somebody who is willing to pay 2 rupees 50 paise or 25 rupees or 250 rupees to
24:52go to a theatre and watch him.
24:54So his views, his opinions, his likes and dislikes matter.
24:59A fan club is an organised set.
25:01A fan club is typically a group of fans who come together and show their admiration, appreciation
25:10and adulation for the hero that they love.
25:13Pre-50s fan clubs were not there.
25:18They may have been there, but they were really not a big force to reckon with.
25:22But post the 50s, especially mid 50s, they started taking on a life of their own.
25:29When M.G.Ramachandran became a big star, you know, every fan club was developed by him
25:35systematically.
25:36He developed the fans into fan clubs.
25:37The first registered fan club was set up for MGR in the year 1954.
25:45What I want to communicate should be implemented even in the smallest of towns.
25:49My film should have an opening, that's the plan M.G.Ramachandran developed it.
25:54The fandom has grown over a period of time and everybody wants to celebrate it.
25:57They want to be part of it, they want to be part of the celebration of the star.
26:01So now competition is about how big you do it, how different you do it.
26:13I'm the one of the main candidates, All India Allergy and France Association.
26:20I'm the one of my favorite names, sir.
26:26I'm the one of my favorite names.
26:32So how do you get started with the same team, Sir?
26:33I'm the one of my favorite names here, Sir?
26:34I have one of my favorite names in the family group.
26:35And one of my favorite names, my team will stand up for the same team as a team, Sir?
26:40So you get the 100 members, sir.
26:41My favorite names and any other names, sir?
26:44I will be able to call this team.
26:45I have 100 members, sir.
26:50I am Narendra, I am from Vijayawada, I am maintaining one fan club, that is Nahejwaba Newshandel.
27:20It has got around 1 lakh 70 plus followers.
27:36Every day on regular intervals we should post, otherwise if we post after 5 days, I mean
27:44if we take 10 days gap and post it then we don't get the engagement and we may drop the
27:49followers also.
27:50To get more engaged we will keep on posting the old photos or new photos or any movie related
27:57or exclusive photos or exclusive information if I get to know anything like that we will
28:02try to spread it in all our fan clubs.
28:05All the fan clubs, all the admins will be in touch through direct message groups or through
28:12WhatsApp.
28:13I remember in 2020 we did the Maheshwaba birthday train.
28:20On that day we clocked around 60 million tweets.
28:24It was the first time for any celebrity or for any hero or for any human being.
28:31That was the biggest trend in history.
28:3660.2 million tweets with hashtag HPD Mahesh Babu was the highest at that time.
28:44It was a world record in which over 1.28 lakh people reportedly participated.
28:51That by way was also a record.
28:53And this world record was broken in a few days when Pawan Kalyan fans tweeted on his birthday.
28:59The main team there was a team called the Heads.
29:13...
29:24...
29:36Before the release, whatever the content we are getting from the Production House or Maya Jhbapu team,
29:43We just spread it, no second thought.
29:49This is our hero's movie. We should spread it as much as we can.
29:58Today, it's all about trending.
30:00You know how the people who buy the film comment?
30:02Theatrical or non-theatrical rights?
30:04They comment based on whether your video is trending or not.
30:07Whether your film is trending or not.
30:09Whether your title is trending or not.
30:11Whether your first look is trending or not.
30:12So, it's a very competitive world.
30:14If you do not have hardcore fans, who will ensure that you know the trending?
30:18Okay, I'm going to ask numbers.
30:22I'm going to ask numbers.
30:24How many people in social media will follow Hero X?
30:29I don't want to give names.
30:31And how many seats are available per show on the first day?
30:37It's a myth that social media is driving.
30:40Social media is driving.
30:42Social media is helping non-fan to learn about the film and say,
30:46I believe it's nice, let's go watch.
30:48Fans ensure that.
30:50It's all fans who are making it a trending content.
30:54The moment it's trending content, not just for one day, but trending for one week, ten days.
30:59Across the country, the media reports.
31:01Across the country, the satellite channel, digital platform, they notice it.
31:05They respect the film.
31:06Everybody wants to buy the rights of the film.
31:08And there is huge demand.
31:10When there is competition, the price goes up.
31:12The producer benefits out of it.
31:16Look at a push part 2.
31:17You know, a teaser which came in, a trailer.
31:2050 million, 100 million views for that particular teaser in every language.
31:25Obviously, that is what fandom does to you.
31:32Without fans, this business is nothing.
31:35In the month, we don't collect the amount of the amount,
31:37they tell us how to use the amount of the amount of the tickets.
31:41The fans are free to participate in the celebration.
31:46Every screen on the opening day, who will be coming?
31:57These fans will be coming.
31:59If I develop a fan club in every town,
32:01that town fan club will ensure at least 100 people landing up there in the game.
32:14How long do you think the fans can support a film released all over India?
32:20Take his fan club.
32:22They can't even support two days.
32:25Friday, first day, they can fill up all seats.
32:29That too, first show.
32:31Second show itself, they'll have a problem.
32:33Because that is the number of screens in which today a film is being released.
32:38You can't support. Fans can't support.
32:41Assume that there is a very small town where I got, you know, 5,000 people are there.
32:44In that town, if I have 500 people as my fan club member,
32:47that 500 people will go to watch my film on the first day.
32:50Because they are my fan club member.
32:51Now, that means my film takes off.
32:53Assuming my film does well and these people do a great job of, you know, celebration and awareness and all,
32:59all the other families will start watching my film.
33:01So my business grows.
33:03It can't be business.
33:05See, we don't induce.
33:07We don't induce saying, okay, do this so that publicity comes.
33:10At least I wouldn't do it.
33:11What is happening also, I can't stop it.
33:14Biologically, we are designed to be in groups.
33:17That's called the herd mentality.
33:19We say man is not alone.
33:21We like, we are social animals.
33:23So which means we like to be in groups.
33:25Because that provides a sense of identity, provides a sense of safety, security.
33:31So being in a herd or being in a group has unique survival values as well.
33:41There are 300 men and 300 men.
33:45There are 200 people.
33:47There are 200 people.
33:48in a group living.
33:49You are
34:10My auntie, uncle, Yotsu, Chikmaklo, all of us have a passion for all of us.
34:21We have a passion for our own people.
34:40Every year, we have a bike in our country, and we have the name of our country.
34:56There are lights, tanks and tanks.
35:02There are free cars.
35:07my invitation to your friends I will show you a photo for a photoshoot
35:12of Tzu-mark day shooting not mention my day everyone at the prices

35:32I will take a photo of Pooja in every one of my paintings.
35:46We have to make a picture of Pooja.
35:49We have to make a picture of Pooja.
35:54We have to make a picture of Pooja.
35:57We have to make a picture of Pooja.
36:02I am proud to be here to make a picture of Pooja.
36:07We are told that they won't be in a picture of Pooja.
36:13I have to make a picture of I am proud of.
36:18I have to make a picture of Pooja once again.
36:21Of course not at all our right.
36:23We have to make a picture of Pooja.
36:25My friends are very happy.
36:32The only inspiration of the film was Gowindraja.
36:42They were the most famous people in the world.
36:49They were the most famous generation of the world.
36:53also
36:56the
37:00the
37:03the
37:05the
37:14the
37:17When I see people doing the temples of mine and they do the tattoos, everything, it scares
37:33me.
37:34It scares me because I am a man of flaw.
37:36I like to do my mistakes.
37:38Okay, but these things just tie you down.
37:40And not that I want to wake up every morning wanting to do a mistake, but you know, mistakes
37:45are something that that's how we learn from.
37:47But this ties you down.
37:48So today when I see these things happening, you know, I don't react to it because I just
37:55know there is a belief they have.
37:57I live that belief with them and I like to move on and do my films, make sure that those
38:03people are as happy as they are always and not wanting to think about those temples and
38:07whatever they do because it scares me.
38:09They really get here.
38:32and dance.
38:46We love the cinema,
38:49the music,
38:51the music,
38:53the music,
38:55the music.
38:57Also, being in a group empowers each other.
39:24So, in fact, if you see, many of the crimes which is connected with fanaticism, it occurs in groups.
39:34Two different groups fight against each other.
39:54My name is Srinivasala Naidu Venkatesh.
40:10My wife's name is Soma Vedavati Arayal.
40:15We stayed at Tirupati.
40:17We have two children.
40:26My daughter, Vaivi Vignita, and my son, Vaivi Vinodharaya.
40:31Pavan Kalam Fans Association and other local people invited my son as a guest for that.
40:51Argan donation oath function.
40:53They gathered all fans.
40:57Pavan Kalam Fans, Union Entire Fans, everything like that.
40:59Many fans are there.
41:01In that function, there is a small quarrel between two fans.
41:06So, he went there and he stopped that quarrel.
41:11Then, after that function, he wanted to travel towards Bangalore.
41:15From Kolar to, towards Bangalore, there is an hotel event there.
41:20They order for the food.
41:23But morning, what happened, there is a quarrel, no?
41:27That people is very near to that hotel.
41:31Miss Kolar local people, they are also there.
41:35They are fully drunk.
41:36They try to quarrel with my son.
41:39And suddenly, they moved my son.
41:41My son fell down into the very big trench.
41:44There is a drainage trench.
41:48By sword, they killed him.
42:08Actually, actually, there is a...
42:11Immediately, that knife went into the heart.
42:18After his assassination,
42:37We lost our all.
42:44What we are thinking about future, we lost.
42:53That is the last photo.
42:55The entire world knows that we know with that shit.
42:57When it comes to South Indian cinema,
43:04Fan communities at times engage in arguments or big fights.
43:10In Vinod's case,
43:12The fight at an organ donation camp in Kolar
43:15Descended into violence
43:17As a few junior NTR supporters objected to his pro-Pavan Kalyan chance.
43:27It's extremely regrettable that fan idealization has resulted in deaths.
43:34I said, I don't want any fans club.
43:37Then one day,
43:38In one place,
43:39There was...
43:40There was two fans club.
43:42The fight happened between two fans clubs.
43:44So that time,
43:45I have to officially announce it.
43:47Otherwise, then only they will not fight with each other.
43:50I don't want any chaos
43:52Which should happen between my fans.
43:54When these clashes occur,
44:00These stars,
44:01These celebrities,
44:02They actually say,
44:03Please do not fight.
44:05But,
44:05Now,
44:06It's beyond that.
44:07It's beyond that reality.
44:08It's the persona
44:09Which these two groups are fighting for.
44:15Those days,
44:16We didn't have social media.
44:17We had only posters.
44:19Wall poster, as it was called.
44:21So when a Sivaji film is
44:22Releasing
44:23And posters are put,
44:25MGR fans will go
44:26And take cow dung
44:27And put it on that.
44:29Or they will put their own poster
44:31On top of it.
44:33Vice versa also.
44:34I'm not going to say
44:35Only MGR fans did it.
44:36But it was mutual.
44:39Today,
44:40That has become
44:41Trolling.
44:42Some people will be there.
44:54I observed
44:55They do nothing.
44:56They come
44:57And they do
44:58Negative comments
44:59That disappear.
45:00Unfortunately cow dung you put
45:02I can remove
45:03Or I can stick a new poster
45:04Or you can get caught
45:06In trolling
45:07You are a nameless
45:09Soulless person
45:11Trolling the other guy
45:12Because of one person
45:14You just trigger
45:16You will just trigger
45:18Some hero fans
45:19That's it
45:19Every other hero fans
45:21Will come in
45:21They do
45:22Abusive tweets
45:25Or abusive posts
45:26The moment it
45:27Degenerates into negativity
45:29Degenerates into
45:30Personally
45:31Degenerates into
45:32Creating negativity
45:33Or creating
45:34You know
45:35What kind of
45:35Against a hero
45:37Against a film
45:38In a bigger way
45:39What happens
45:40It damages the film
45:41That recently
45:41We can see
45:42I mean
45:43I'm not telling
45:44Because I'm a HBO fan
45:46It was
45:47Purely
45:48So much negativity
45:49On Guntur Karam movie
45:51Because of that negativity
45:52Film didn't
45:54Do well
45:54On day one
45:55And day two
45:55You do that
45:59In an organized manner
46:01To bring down
46:01The film of another guy
46:03Or
46:04Some
46:04Bring
46:05Some other actor's
46:06Reputation down
46:07I think it's bad
46:08So all the heroes
46:09Know it very well
46:10They very clearly
46:12Advise their fans
46:13Please don't get
46:13Into personal attack
46:14When your film comes
46:15They are going to do
46:16The same thing to you
46:16They might do double
46:17Many fans do
46:19Very nice
46:19Good charity work
46:20That's a great energy
46:22You know
46:22They are putting it
46:23To the right cause
46:24All fans are there
46:25They are putting it
46:26Through fan wars
46:27Or for spreading negatively
46:28I don't encourage that
46:30On line one
46:31Unidentified ideas
46:33To the right cause
46:33To the right cause
46:34To the right cause
46:34To the right cause
46:35To the right cause
46:36To the right cause
46:36That's not how
46:38That's not fair
46:39No.
46:40I don't know.
46:41If you have offline fans, the best, sir.
46:44Fan club will always come and say,
46:46Ah, that's not what you're saying.
46:49They're all psycho fans.
46:52A fan club is a group of psycho fans.
46:55They will never criticize you.
46:58You need critics.
47:00You need somebody to come and tell me,
47:02Hey, not good boss.
47:04Oh, is it?
47:05Okay, let me change.
47:07If you like my film, you come and watch.
47:09They are not your fans.
47:11Even if you don't like my film,
47:13you should watch my film.
47:14That is called fandom.
47:15That is called fanatic fans.
47:17They don't care about how the film is.
47:19My hero is a cinema.
47:22If you want to die,
47:24you won't die.
47:25You won't disappoint me, sir.
47:37If an artist has such a kind of fandom,
47:55such a kind of, you know,
47:56hardcore fans,
47:57short shot, the film will take off.
47:59It is nothing wrong in being a fan.
48:16It is the obsession that we are talking about.
48:18The intense preoccupation where you lose your identity.
48:22So I think for everybody here,
48:25we need to understand self audit
48:27to see what is your level of preoccupation.
48:30If you are identifying this person
48:32as your own kit and kin or even yourself,
48:35then I think we need to look not outside, inside.
48:39Start addressing your sense of self esteem.
48:42Building up the identity of self is very important.
48:46I also thought, you know,
48:48like if Bandvigaru would not come in my life,
48:51someone else would not come,
48:52like psychologists or whatever.
48:56But at that time I didn't know.
48:59It's like a divine plan.
49:01Divine plan.
49:02I think God planned to send Bandvigaru to my life.
49:12See, when I began to open up all these,
49:14whatever all the pain, struggles with Bandvigaru,
49:17I felt like, you know,
49:19like a huge weight lifted off from my shoulder.
49:27If the Arya movie was not made,
49:29means I would not have been sitting here.
49:31Or like, you know,
49:32maybe I would have committed suicide.
49:34I don't know.
49:39Online and offline,
49:40I am very quite active with my friends.
49:42I like to interact and give that energy and time
49:45because, you know,
49:46they are giving him so much energy
49:48and I like to respect that.
49:49And also,
49:50I really feel all this fan energy
49:52can be consolidated and used for some very good use.
49:56When I first meet Bandvigaru
50:00and he patted on my shoulder
50:02and he told me,
50:03Yiddikpa, why are you doing like this?
50:04You have to concentrate on his studies.
50:06He gave me so much advice.
50:08And I just wanted to hug him.
50:09That's it.
50:10I don't want to say my story or what.
50:12I just want to...
50:15And I just want to hug him.
50:16That's it.
50:17I just want to get that brotherly hug.
50:19Nothing else.
50:20Pavan Kalian came to my house and he said,
50:37He said I am I am with you
50:41so we know the water the
50:44Plan that one we have to do it
50:47Like that he inspired us
50:49Amma amma and police star
50:51Salo not go cool on Kalyan low-end
50:57All actors do all actors whether they agree or not
51:01They do have an impact on people and we should be very responsible on which way we are subconsciously guiding them
51:07Our pack of the boy tour for tardy on a little go peri energy our car will pop a clear the mother in an hour to boy photo
51:13I don't care. I'm very car. I will be cool. I don't tell you
51:17MGR not a or power in G.R. not a or shakti
51:21Till the time films are made the fans will grow in number and fanaticism too
51:27Because fans will treat the stars as Demi gods and worship them and go to any extent to show their devotion
51:37So you start feeling that there is a huge amount of responsibility
51:42First what looks like arrogance to you suddenly starts you start realizing the purity of the the purity of their emotion the love
51:50They have for you. So it just can it just makes you a better human
51:54You know than that person what you used to be you know humanity, you know humans are social beings
52:01They are going to form groups for different reasons then say for the different country different religion different cast different creed different hero
52:08Different films, you know, we will form groups no matter what that is who we are. We are social beings
52:15My take is only one thing when you form a group a group has got an energy
52:21Are you using it for a positive?
52:24Note or are you using for a negative note?
52:26It's good that you know, you're forming groups, but ultimately that should also be used for a good cause
52:49We all have this innate need to find the leader and to follow a leader
53:16This is innately very innately programmed to to do this
53:21So obviously all the celebration you see is the outcome of that particular love and the respect they are for the star
53:30That is the culture of the fandom here
53:33So you can't actually explain what are the rational behavior
53:37You actually want someone to decode this whole fanaticism in southern cinema
53:42It's like trying to decode the magic of the universe. Can you if you can let me know?
53:54He owns you sir
53:56That's all
53:58He owns you he believes he owns you and you belong to him or her
54:03He owns you he owns you for the magic of the universe
54:05That is no song in Tamilerten
54:09That feeling happy for other success, no. That's the character of God quality of God
54:16Nchihi kosame na aynishna Nchihi kosame na nirishna
54:19Basically which means I am searching for you my hope is in you, that's why
54:24I was like to go to the hospital and I can't do anything.
54:41I can't do anything like that.
54:45I can't do anything.
54:54Do you copy his moves?
54:58Are you a dancer?
54:59No, no, no.
55:00I'm not good at dancing.
55:01Can you copy his moves?
55:02No, no, no.
55:03I'm not.
55:24I'm not good at dancing.
55:54I'm not good at dancing.
56:08I'm not good at dancing.
