NewsTranscript
00:00First of all, big congratulations. Girlfriend movie is super duper hit.
00:05Now, you are in my mind.
00:07I mean, my sister and my friend are in the movie.
00:12So, my question is,
00:14what is one reason to select a girlfriend movie?
00:17I just related to Bhuma's character to a very intimate level.
00:23Because, you know, approximately 10 years ago,
00:30but for 20 years,
00:33young childhood to school life to college life to,
00:38I've lived a certain life.
00:41So, when I first started,
00:43I was like, I can relate to her.
00:46But Bhuma's character is like,
00:50I can relate to her because,
00:53I also wanted to say,
00:55I can't get myself to say a no comfortably.
01:00I wanted to say an opinion.
01:02I wanted to say,
01:04I want to say my opinion.
01:06And, what are my feelings?
01:08I want to voice out.
01:10Because, honestly,
01:12that's just me.
01:14And, after being an actor,
01:16I have confidence.
01:18I have confidence.
01:19I want to act on screen.
01:21I want to talk to each other.
01:23And,
01:24I know the fights I have to fight to.
01:28Come and talk to you today.
01:29Okay.
01:30Because,
01:31see,
01:32these are some things that are my personality.
01:34I can't change it.
01:35But,
01:36I have a responsibility.
01:37And,
01:38that responsibility is me being an actor.
01:40Okay.
01:41And, I chose to be in this profession.
01:43But,
01:44all the inner fights,
01:45no?
01:46That,
01:47nobody sees.
01:48And,
01:49that,
01:50I wanted to do,
01:51the girlfriend.
01:52Only because of that.
01:53I am like,
01:54this is a healing process.
01:55I am like,
01:56this is a healing process.
01:57This film is very important.
01:58Because,
01:59we have to do a healing process.
02:03It is a healing process.
02:04It is a confidence.
02:06Good.
02:07That,
02:08my soul of the film is,
02:11a head So,
02:12that is a tiny test.
02:14I don't know what to do.
02:16I am sorry.
02:17I am sorry.
02:18I am sorry about what it is.
02:19I'm sorry about what to do.
02:20Even if I am not a release.
02:21I am sorry about what to do.
02:22I am sorry about what to do.
02:25But I feel like my whole life journey has been Bhuma initial to Bhuma saying, I can do this, choosing to do something like this. So this has been my life. And today I'm just happy that everyone is relating to the character.
02:44Thank you. Thank you so much. That's it. Thank you.
02:47Hello, Rashmika. I'm Banu. Firstly, again, heartily congratulations. I guess each and every person over here will congratulate you. Because same feeling, obviously every girl can relate to that character because we have been through those situations or maybe we have been through those relationships, right?
03:07So first story, Vinagane, I think this is your first, maybe more characterised movie, lady oriented character, right?
03:17So first, Rahul, sir, what made you to decide that particular factor? Chalo, I'll do it. Pakka, Anna, too. Eh factor, Vinagane, me confirm je se, sir.
03:28Nahku, the favourite bit of my, of this film is, this is not a Bhuma versus Vikram story. This is Bhuma versus Bhuma story.
03:39Yes.
03:39So I have always seen the girlfriend as Bhuma versus Bhuma story in the country. Mana life flow, of course, people who come into our lives play a part in our lives.
03:49Kani, mana lo pala manakku a confidence leedante, even a situation that can be handled a different way will become toxic. We will let it be toxic because of our own fight in our heads.
04:04Mana ka confidence leedante, if you know that person is not the way you want him to be or person you want in your life, you won't be able to voice out.
04:15A voice out, you have these traumas and these, you know, underconfidence, self-respect undudhu. So these are the factors that lead you to have a bad situation, bad relationships.
04:30So I felt that's the favourite part of my film. I have never seen it as a girl versus boy, male bashing and all of that. That is not why we did the film.
04:41For me, it was me versus me. And it was healing for me. It was fighting against my own mindset and overcoming it. And that is all the film is. And that's why I did the film.
04:51What I thought is like after watching film, every girl should know what she wanted in her life, what can be neglected or what can be removed from her life, even if it is a partner or something.
05:03If it's bothering her too much trauma, suffocating, she should raise her own voice is what I've learned.
05:11I fully agree. I feel like, see, in the end of the day, you have to choose what you want. Relationships are important. But like relationships with your mother, father, your partner, brothers, all of that is important.
05:27But if you don't choose to be in that relationship, you don't have to be. It's okay to be, it's okay to walk out. But don't make other people decide for you.
05:39Yes.
05:40Decide for yourself. And trust me, once you start making that decision, everything will fall into place.
05:47Hi, Rashmika. This is Anu.
05:49Nice to meet you, Anu.
05:50Yeah. So, movie, Gurunchi, questions, Kante. I would like to tell you how it impacted me.
05:57This is like Buma meeting Buma. I have been there.
06:01Big hugs.
06:01Yeah. I have been there and I met a character like Vikram too in my life.
06:07Completely, mentally paralyzed for four years. And it took four years for me to say no, come out of it and start content.
06:16So, I didn't know the first name of a movie. All my male friends and female friends texted me that I have seen your biopicani.
06:23Yeah.
06:23I was like, why you pickanathindukuntadhi? Like, I thought either unduntadhi. When I watched the movie, trust me,
06:31kunni scenes literally drained me a lot. Like suffocate aitunapadu washroom low and roots acheshi.
06:37Those things are not at all visuals for me. That is my reality.
06:43Anta suffocate aina days unai a four years low. So, a lot of men asked, Ante, half of the men.
06:50It's not, as you told, it's not male versus female bash. It's Buma versus Buma. It's like women versus women.
06:56So, I have Durga in my life. I have Vikram in my life. I have same father kind of thing. So, I know how it feels.
07:05I know how it feels. It took two to three days for me to come out of it because I kind of felt like I may vomit in the theater.
07:14Because that trauma is a lot of trauma.
07:15So, there is nothing.
07:20If you want to see your screen, you can't do it because that's how you impacted with your acting.
07:28Like, I would like to act to Rashmi, but I would like to see other movies.
07:33It's no more an entertainer for me. It's like, you know, this person is living this role and unpichindi.
07:38So, dear girlfriend, thank you for the girlfriend.
07:42So, thank you so much for bringing up such kind of script.
07:46I would like to talk to Rahul Gharos.
07:48Like, men writing a woman is not easy.
07:52And this kind of silent battle, sir, you can't do it.
07:57I wonder, if you're a strong person against everyone,
08:03women, it's because of a person like Rahul and Anpichindi.
08:08So, we all deserve Rahul in our lives.
08:11I fully agree.
08:12First of all, I'm so sorry that you had to go through something like that in your life.
08:17Nobody deserves it.
08:18Of course, we all go through something like Bhuma's life to some degree.
08:23Not the same thing, but some degree.
08:24But I'm so sorry you had to go through something like this.
08:27And secondly, like you rightly said, a man writing a woman.
08:31I did not understand how that man even understood.
08:36Because many of us, we will want to make them understand, right?
08:43We are feeling this.
08:45I'm feeling it.
08:46I need help.
08:47I can say that.
08:48But 90% of the time, it is so sad how our feelings are brushed away.
08:55I overreact.
08:57Everyone goes through this, so you're not special.
09:00Or something like this.
09:02So, when I keep telling my feelings to my friends and they keep saying, actor I know, so of course troll I know.
09:10Everyone goes through it.
09:11I'm like, no.
09:13We shouldn't be doing this.
09:15We shouldn't be going through this.
09:17And I'm like, okay, we all go through it.
09:23But the pain is, everyone's feelings are okay.
09:30First of all, we shouldn't be going through it.
09:32Secondly, if you're brushing away my feelings saying, you're disrespecting my feelings, right?
09:42So, like, you're not even a friend.
09:46We need a Durga in life, in our lives, because at least someone who's there to understand, okay, the Jarukthundi, it's affecting her tenfolds to what it's affecting another person.
09:58No two people's feelings are the same.
09:59People really need to understand that.
10:02True.
10:02You know, so when all of this is happening and some film like The Girlfriend comes out and it's almost healing to the core, no?
10:10Now you're like, okay, now someone knows how the feeling is.
10:16We feel heard, we feel seen, we feel respected.
10:20And that's the most healing part of it.
10:23True.
10:23We're not alone.
10:24Someone, everyone can't do it.
10:26Exactly.
10:27And we're happy with it.
10:28That's all we want.
10:29And the movie is all about silent battle, actually.
10:33Yeah.
10:33If you're not alone, you're not alone.
10:35You're not alone.
10:35You're not alone.
10:37Yeah.
10:38Glad that a lot of women has connected to this story.
10:41And when a movie like Animal, a male-oriented, a dominating role deserves this part, then a movie like Girlfriend deserves this part.
10:52So thank you so much.
10:53And we would like to see you.
10:54Such kind of roles coming forward, entertainment apart.
10:57We need such kind of things.
10:59So thank you so much.
11:00Hi, Rashmika.
11:01Hi.
11:02I'm Madhuri.
11:03Nice to meet you, Madhuri.
11:04So first, I actually have a series, but I have a lot of fun.
11:07I have a lot of fun.
11:37Like, stage performance, I have a lot of fun.
11:39I have a lot of fun.
11:41But I have a lot of fun.
11:43But in that gap, when he said that, most of the boys are protective and destructive.
11:51So in that thin line, you have an expression.
11:54So what we discussed with you, Rahul, I have to tell you that I feel like my mom is feeling like that.
11:59And that's what we felt.
12:01I feel like your mom is doing that.
12:03The second, we can't stand still.
12:05Many girls do that.
12:07I have a lot of fun.
12:09I feel like my mom is getting in the knees.
12:11When someone is not getting it, we can't stand still, it's shaking.
12:17So, there are many moments, there are many moments.
12:23Relatability is important.
12:27I am a mom of two boys.
12:29I have pre-teen, one boy turning is pre-teen.
12:33So, I wanted to say my word that,
12:37mom of boys, especially girls,
12:41if you are a father in society,
12:44make sure he will reflect everything.
12:48What is happening in you?
12:50What is happening in you?
12:52What is happening in you?
12:54What is your responsibility?
12:56So, this is a parent point of view.
12:58Vikram is good to be a sensible mother.
13:02But, if your mother did a voice out,
13:06he was distracted.
13:08I felt innocence in Vikram's character actually.
13:11Because he was hurt, he was hurt.
13:15So, his parents mistake that he brought up like that.
13:19And at the same time, it's Bhuma's parents mistake,
13:22like rough, unfiltered,
13:25only father point of view, he exhibited it.
13:29So, there was a parenting mistake,
13:31and there was a lot of people.
13:34Correct.
13:35I had my friends who had gone through the same Bhuma character.
13:39So, there was a parent who had a little consciousness,
13:43a little bit of the future in the weed society.
13:47And so, there were a lot of characters.
13:50So, especially in teens,
13:53kids take care of them,
13:55they are like fragile,
13:57so, you took like sensible line,
14:01to deliver all the team.
14:03So, congrats for it.
14:04And what's your pick?
14:06Like, you are new parents.
14:08This generation's parenting is completely different.
14:10Yeah.
14:11Because, it's not for teens.
14:12I have a question in fourth or fifth class.
14:14So, what?
14:15I have a question.
14:16We never have my generation.
14:18Exactly.
14:19Yeah, really, really.
14:20Yeah.
14:21You know, I, with the little research that I've done,
14:24and also I have a twelve-year-old sister.
14:26Yes.
14:27You know, my own sister.
14:28Yeah.
14:29So, there's clearly a difference in generational upbringing, right?
14:34Yeah.
14:35So, I am very interested in human psychology.
14:42What is triggering them?
14:46What is not triggering them?
14:48All of this is my interest points.
14:50Also, helps me as an actor.
14:52True.
14:53But, what I've realized is, see, there are two things about it.
14:58Like, generally, a mother of two boys, in my generation.
15:04Like, when, like our parents, generally, what upbringing the boys have is,
15:10a boy is correct.
15:11Exactly.
15:12Like, anything the boy wants, the mothers will put it in the platter and give it.
15:17Exactly.
15:18But, I'll put it up.
15:20Our parents are already envisioning, okay, our baby girl is going to another household.
15:27Yeah.
15:28So, you know, we always, the upbringing is,
15:31Exactly.
15:32We accept it.
15:33Yeah.
15:34We accept it.
15:35We accept it.
15:36And, in many households, the first blame will go on the girl.
15:42Yes.
15:43Exactly.
15:44You will do this.
15:45Exactly.
15:46You will do this.
15:47So, you start feeling very under-confident with yourself.
15:53That is one.
15:54Exactly.
15:55But, what is it?
15:56They start becoming confident with...
15:59Society.
16:00Society.
16:01That power.
16:02Exactly.
16:03That power.
16:04That sort of, like, that, you know...
16:06Rough patch of thing.
16:08They should do it.
16:09Yeah.
16:10You know.
16:12But, you know, we had to fight for what we want.
16:16Even in our own...
16:17With our own parents.
16:18Own parents.
16:19Yeah.
16:20We have to fight for generations.
16:21We have to fight for this film.
16:22We have to fight for this film.
16:23We have to fight for this film.
16:24We have to be like...
16:25It has to end with us.
16:27Yeah.
16:28All of these traumas.
16:29All of these traumas.
16:30Generational traumas.
16:31Traumas.
16:32Sadly...
16:33In the 1990s...
16:34In the 1990s...
16:35In the 1990s...
16:36In the 1990s.
16:37In the 2000s.
16:38In the 2000s.
16:39In the 2000s.
16:40And it has been 10 years.
16:41One decade.
16:42All the generational trauma has to end with us.
16:44Yes.
16:45Because I feel like...
16:46when we have kids
16:48it's genuinely a selfish choice
16:50from us parents
16:52it's our choice
16:53kids are not asking to be born
16:55we are giving birth to the kids
16:57which means we want
16:59our legacy to continue
17:01we want to have kids so that we have the sense of
17:05so this is our selfish reasons
17:09you can't make the kids go through trauma
17:12to live up to your expectations
17:14this is one clarity I have
17:17and I've thought a lot about this
17:19because I want to have kids
17:21I want to be a mother one day
17:22I've always thought
17:24tomorrow na kids achi
17:26why did you give birth to me
17:28I didn't ask for it ante
17:29it'll break my heart
17:31you should never make the kids go through something like that
17:33so I always you know
17:37since 1-2 years I've just been like
17:39if I have babies
17:40this generational trauma has to end with me
17:43let my kids have opinions
17:45don't tell them what to do
17:47advice
17:49if they are specific
17:50and also
17:53we should
17:55tell them that
17:57we should tell them that
17:57now you decide what you want to do
18:04of course
18:04till like the kids
18:06they can't decide what they want
18:07but after a point you need to leave them
18:10to decide what they want
18:11you can't be
18:13parents love coulda chala suffocating on to
18:15yes yes
18:16chala
18:16go through
18:17yeah yeah
18:18and as suffocation valla
18:20if they have a child
18:21freedom
18:22freedom to love is there
18:25we think
18:26oh
18:26but that's not true
18:30that's equally controlling
18:32but if not
18:33100%
18:3490% controlling
18:35so you need to learn
18:38first of all
18:38what you want
18:39when you go out there
18:42and choose a man for yourself
18:43or a woman for yourself
18:45I feel like you will have a lot more power
18:47true true
18:49you know
18:49so these things
18:50I don't know
18:50I'm an overthinker
18:51yeah
18:51sorry
18:52so I keep
18:53we echo you a lot
18:55so
18:55in all forms
18:57being kind
18:58to other person
19:00kind of being kind to
19:01ourselves
19:01first
19:02I think it's very important
19:03I think it's very important
19:04but
19:05I don't know
19:07I don't know
19:07I think it's easy
19:08to judge me
19:09I think it's easy
19:10to judge me
19:11but
19:12I think it's very important
19:14because when you look at Wamai
19:16you see the character
19:17you see the character
19:18and the other characters
19:19they are trying to give you
19:19she has my whole point
19:20and in a bigger angle
19:21I think so
19:22in films like this
19:23they show a point
19:24I like that
19:25I've felt it
19:26so
19:26you don't have to look away
19:27but
19:29you have to point out
19:30but
19:31you have to point out
19:32because
19:32when you live with a bunch of friends
19:33it's a voice out
19:35so
19:36so
19:37if you are a friend
19:38you have to respect
19:39you
19:40so
19:41each and every

22:18I
22:19I
22:20I
22:21I
22:22I
22:23I
22:24I
22:25I
22:26I
22:27I
22:28What
22:32It
22:33Is
22:34a scene
22:35Where
22:36You will be smiling
22:38Emotion
22:39I
22:39The
22:40You
22:41Closing my eyes
22:42Music
22:44That was a beautiful
22:45scene
22:47Most Girls
22:49Would have realized
22:50Okay
22:51If we died
22:52Many people
22:53They are
22:54They really
22:55突然
22:56But that scene, that movie movie movie, is that very interesting.
23:03It was like that.
23:05And the interval bank, and I was like, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
23:11And in Laslo, oh, Vikram, oh!
23:14I forgot to go, bro.
23:15He was like, oh, he was like, oh, he was a bad guy.
23:17He was like, oh, he was like, oh, oh, oh.
23:19I was like, oh, oh.
23:20And I was like, oh, oh, oh, oh.
23:22Oh, oh, oh, oh.
23:23Gita Jali Gani, Chava Movie Gani, Shrivalli, Shrivalli, so my Shrivalli gude thishko ne, last is ki vati to sammanh mein lehko ne, malli bhooma character indip thishko ne, because you relate to that character so much in your life, so can you tell something, real life flow, where you have moved out of it, see, like,
23:45here is a journey, realizing something about yourself and coming out and being, changing yourself, it's not a one-to-day process, it's years and years of process, because teachers and friends, I used to, I don't remember most of my childhood, because
24:11when I was like, what I was like, what I was like, I was blank out, so majority of my childhood, I was blank out, I was blank out, I was blank out, I was blank out, I was blank out, every day, my friends, I didn't, I was blank out, because I used to be like, it was such a traumatic experience for me, and industry, when I was like,
24:33because the initial part of my industry life, I was blank out, I used to keep it to myself, thinking someone else will get affected by it,
24:45But, I think it was 5-6 years back or something, for the first time in my life, I knew what I didn't want.
25:04So, I took one stand for myself saying, this is not what I want.
25:11But, I used to be very scared. I used to be like, okay, I always have to be a certain way, always have to treat people nicely, with kindness, even if they are hurting me, and all of that.
25:27But, this film was not a problem. You know, there has been a sense of healing.
25:36And, it's not about what other people want of you.
25:40You have to be kind. You have to be nice and treat everyone with kindness.
25:45But, not at the cost of your own self-respect. Your own, you know, your own happiness, basically.
25:54So, I feel like it's been a journey of almost 10-15 years.
25:59And, today, I make my own decisions. I take my own choices. I make my own choices. And, I'm very happy.
26:08Did you have Durga in your life? Or, have you ever been Durga in someone's life?
26:12No, as in Durga, I recently have found my Durgas. And, of course, since school, we had. But, when I was in school, I didn't have.
26:21Because, we were all trying to figure out our lives and everything. And, also, me as a person, I wasn't very open about my feelings, even to my Durga.
26:30So, like, it's somewhere in between. I had a Harshu. Okay. You know, in my life. But, Durga came about very recently. And, my girls are the best.
26:42I'm lucky. I also have four Durgas in my life right now.
26:46Hi, ma'am. Hi. Oh, hi. I'm Meghna. Hi, Meghna. Nice to meet you.
26:50Ma'am, first things first, you look damn pretty, ma'am. Thank you. How sweet. Thank you.
26:55Ma'am, so, as the girlfriend, what is the best advice you would like to give to us, especially the Zenzi?
27:03Wow. I feel like there's a generational gap right now. I feel so old right now. But, okay, let me tell you a few things.
27:13Genuinely, be kind to your people. You know, not always men are wrong, not always women are wrong or right, either ways.
27:23But, you be a Durga to someone's life. Be kind. Choose what you want to do in your life. Don't listen to people around you.
27:32Because nobody knows anything better about your life than yourself. Okay. Nobody should have a power over you.
27:41Respect people's time, people's efforts, people's lives. Just know that, be financially independent. You know, that is the most important thing for a girl.
27:56Because if you're not financially independent, you're always going to be dependent on either your mother, your father, your brother or your partner.
28:04So, be financially independent. Make your choices and make them wisely.
28:10Thank you. Thank you.
28:12Thank you. Hi.
28:13Everyone is a little sad. I don't have any negatives. I don't have any family.
28:18You should be so happy.
28:19I am so happy. My partner, my family, my family, God. I am so happy.
28:25I am so happy. You are blessed my friend. You are really blessed.
28:32Full family support, partner support, family support. Crazy. I am so happy for you.
28:41All I can say is, everyone depends on your mother. You are so happy.
28:46You are so happy. You are so happy.
28:48Next minute, everyone. All I have to say.
28:52I am so proud of you. Thank you. I love you.
28:56Thank you. Thank you. So proud of you.
28:59We all need such a person in our lives.
29:03So, hi ma'am. Hi.
29:04So, I am Niharika. Nice to meet you, Niharika.
29:07Yeah, thanks.
29:08So, I would love to ask, how was your experience working on this film compared to your previous film, Sikandar with Salman Khansa?
29:15Oh. Yeah.
29:16Worlds apart.
29:18Sikandar was a very, as in, it was a very easy film.
29:23Okay.
29:24In terms of performance or in terms of the whole set and everything.
29:28It was a very easy film.
29:30And it's a commercial film.
29:31So, it's got to be easy.
29:33But in this film, it was very mentally taxing, very mentally difficult.
29:42Okay.
29:43Because I had to live those moments, relive those moments.
29:46Yeah.
29:47So, for me mentally, I had to go into my dark spaces.
29:50Okay.
29:51Which I, see generally as an actor know, because you want to do your best.
29:57Initially when you enter the industry, you want to give your best together.
30:01Yeah.
30:02So, what happens is, I'm not a trained actor.
30:04I don't know how to instantly cry, instantly laugh.
30:06I don't know how to do that.
30:08So, I used to think of the worst of the worst in my life.
30:16And I used to feel emotional.
30:17And that emotions, I used to act it out on screen.
30:20Okay.
30:21For many films in the initial stages of my career.
30:25I used to think that certain things, when it happens in your life, it's like a wound.
30:34You know.
30:35So, every time when I had to perform, I used to peel that wound.
30:38I used to not let it heal.
30:39Yeah.
30:40So, it was becoming very toxic for me.
30:44You know, all these thoughts in my head and everything.
30:47So, at one point, I was like, no, I can't do this.
30:52I shouldn't be doing this.
30:53Okay.
30:54Because mentally, I have to protect myself.
30:56I had to go and relive all those moments.
31:04But this time, it really hit me hard.
31:07Okay.
31:08Because, first of all, I felt like I didn't deserve half the things that I went through.
31:13Secondly, I felt like, I wish I didn't remember these things.
31:20You know.
31:21So, mentally, Girlfriend was a very, very difficult film to work for.
31:25But, because I walked through those doors, no?
31:29I felt liberated.
31:31Now, I know.
31:32I'm mature enough.
31:33I am exposed to the world knowledge enough to understand that.
31:39It's okay.
31:40I can move on.
31:41It is good to move on.
31:42And, you know.
31:43That's why I keep saying, this film has been healing for me and very liberating for me.
31:48Okay.
31:50Like, I don't know Telugu.
31:51So, kunsham kunsham understand English.
31:53Oh, sweet.
31:54Which language?
31:55English.
31:56Oh, sweet.
31:57Okay.
31:58But, where are you from?
31:59I'm from Rachi Jharkand.
32:00Oh.
32:01How lovely.
32:02Okay.
32:03First question is from a business perspective.
32:04Like, how did you take the movie from a business perspective?
32:06We have been talking about the movie, the characters and all.
32:09But, was it like, on the very first go, you were like ready for the movie?
32:14Because, it is a very different kind of movie.
32:16Hmm.
32:17So, from the business perspective, from the movie perspective, how did you take it in the
32:21first glance?
32:22So, if you're talking about business perspective, I remember conversations being, film, we can
32:32have only certain amount of budget.
32:34You know, we can't exceed the budget.
32:37Normally, movies are shot in a certain budget.
32:39Kani, if one woman is leading the film or if, say, if it's an emotional drama or romantic
32:48drama like this, the budget is very restricted.
32:51So, I remember conversations being, in the budget only, like only so much budget we have,
32:57we'll have to figure out how to wrap the film in this budget.
33:01So, according to that, the castings happened, the locations happened, the costumes and everything.
33:10You know, everything happened.
33:12And, I remember, we shorted in the certain budget and it was ready.
33:18And, after that, the OTT deals, the music rights, all these conversations started.
33:24For me, as an actor, I've always been a part of big films.
33:27So, I didn't understand the business aspect of it.
33:30Now, when I suddenly, you know, had this film and everything I was getting the knowledge of,
33:37then I understood that.
33:39Like, because it's my solo, like, debut.
33:43You know, so, for me, it was very new.
33:46I didn't understand the business aspect of it.
33:48So, Ipudu, keep it the number of theatres.
33:53We didn't get a lot of, like, theatres.
33:56You know, we had very limited theatres.
33:59Also, because we have very strong production house and everything, that was a great help.
34:03But, nobody knew what the girlfriend film was like.
34:07So, they wouldn't be open to n number of theatres.
34:10We had one certain number of theatres.
34:12And also, considering we had three releases in the same week from Telugu and all of that.
34:19So, all these things also started adding up.
34:21Today, you guys coming in, watching the film and supporting us, has definitely helped a film in terms of,
34:29Neno, Repu, if I have to, like, headline another film.
34:35Which means confidence is there in directors and producers and the business.
34:41Generally, people in the business saying, okay, this girl can, you know, do something.
34:46So, now, I'm doing this film called Maisa.
34:49Which is a, again, Nena, actually, I had told Maisa team that, guys, let the girlfriend release.
34:56I don't know what's going to happen.
34:58But, if the film doesn't work, I don't want you putting money on me.
35:02Because, I don't want to hurt you.
35:04Because, I know money is hard earned.
35:06You know, I don't take these things for granted.
35:09But, they were like, no, we need to do this film with you because, you know, we need you.
35:14And so, we started the film way before the release of The Girlfriend.
35:18But, these things start becoming easier.
35:21In terms of, tomorrow, if I have to do a film, I know that I have confidence in my audience.
35:28That they will come and support me.
35:30They will respect me in terms of, okay, if this girl is doing one certain film.
35:35Which means, there's something in the film.
35:37That we want to go and watch.
35:39Anyay.
35:40So, I feel like, over the years, I've built that rapport with my audience.
35:43I've built that confidence with my audience.
35:45So, business perspective, I think that.
35:47I've been a lot more than that.
35:48My mom is from the crime scene.
35:49I've built that movie.
35:50And, she got emotional saying,
35:53She was saying beside me, how innocent moms, how innocent moms, how innocent moms, how innocent
36:08moms.
36:09Throughout the film, you were really, really amazing.
36:13I know you might be very busy and thanks a lot for taking out your time and giving it
36:18to us.
36:19And I just hugs to your mother, like see, no man or woman deserves something like that.
36:26The only problem is there was no enough exposure, you know, in their time, in what they wanted.
36:33Our parents didn't get to choose to be with someone who they wanted to be with, you know,
36:38arranged marriage and they were just put together and, you know, they were told to start a life
36:43together.
36:44It's not easy.
36:45Imagine spending the rest of your life with a person you don't know.
36:49People are open with that.
36:50That's good.
36:51If they choose to be.
36:52It breaks my heart today to know that there's actually an Amma Garu like this, you know,
37:03and this is, until their parents would have treated them a certain way, their grandparents
37:07would have treated them a certain way.
37:09So biggest hugs to your mom.
37:10Yes.
37:11She deserves all the love and only love.
37:15Being such an impacted movie to the audience, like, how does it change from your perspective?
37:21Me life flow in personal life, what has the impact?
37:22Like, what has the same perspective has changed for you?
37:23After doing the film?
37:24Yes.
37:25It's healed me and it's liberated me and it's given me so much more confidence as to, if
37:38someone spoke something about me, it would have affected me.
37:44So people would be like, react, be the nice girl, because that's what actors are supposed
37:52to be like.
37:53And for nine years of my life, I heard the same thing.
37:58And for a long time, I wanted to react, saying, it's not true, why are you lying?
38:05Why are you lying?
38:06I used to want to say something like that.
38:09But people just, like, told me to keep quiet, keep quiet, doesn't matter, tomorrow onwards,
38:19people will move on, it's a normal hypothesis.
38:22For a long time, I didn't have the voice to say anything.
38:26But I think with this film, when someone is in the wrong, I'll be like, sir, it's not
38:32true.
38:33Because a lot of people, like an actor, who can say something, who can say something, who
38:40can say something, who can say something, who can say something, who can say something.
38:44You've become a public property in a very disrespectful way.
38:49I don't want to say anything, I'm an actor, I'm an actress, my films released.
38:55It'll entertain people and films like this, this is me talking to my audience.
39:01This is not me entertaining them.
39:03This is the only chance I get to talk to you guys.
39:06So, I don't want to say anything, I don't want to say anything.
39:12But I feel like, as a public figure also, when someone like me, a girl like me comes into
39:18the industry and I don't have a background, bro.
39:20None of my family comes from film background.
39:23None of my friends are in this.
39:25Of course, I have friends in the industry, but for a long period of time, I didn't.
39:30You know, so, all these things used to affect me, as to be like, okay, I don't know.
39:38But today, I have this confidence, and you guys have given me that confidence to say anything,
39:48I want to say, sir, I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything.
39:51In polite way.
39:52You know, of course, like I'm never saying, don't be kind.
39:55Always be kind.
39:57Kindness is the most important thing.
39:59Kindness can save people's lives.
40:01And I choose to be kind.
40:02That is my core personality.
40:04That I'll never change.
40:06But when it's not true, just be like, sir, please, I haven't said it.
40:12So, don't misrepresent me.
40:15Because I feel bad and audience, of course, are going to feel bad.
40:19I have the confidence to say that today.
40:22Like, probably before I did this film, I didn't.
40:24And I wouldn't have.
40:25So, that's something that's changed.
40:27That's a very big thing.
40:28That's a massive thing.
40:29Yes, yes.
40:30First, this whole movie experience was like talking to my best friend and figuring out my life.
40:36I asked so many questions to myself.
40:39And your acting was surreal that in that especially interval scene, I didn't feel like I was in theatre.
40:46I was in the movie, in that room, in washroom.
40:49I also felt that that much suffocated.
40:52Suffocation.
40:53Yeah.
40:54There are so many movements like Vikram, Vikram actions especially.
40:58They are so subtle.
41:00Even we have these discussions along with my girlies.
41:04Like, eh, na boyfriend, and I don't want to be here.
41:06Eh, na boyfriend, I don't want to be here.
41:08Na boyfriend, I want to be pumped.
41:09We talk like achievement.
41:10Bro, na green flag, bro.
41:11I don't want to be here.
41:12No, it's my choice.
41:13I don't want to be here.
41:14I don't want to be here.
41:15No, it's my choice.
41:16I don't want to be here.
41:17We are so alone in this.
41:18Actually, this movie is something traumatic.
41:20It will be triggered.
41:21Like, Anu shared and Tanu shared.
41:24This movie is so traumatic that it will be triggered.
41:27But just the fact, someone is speaking about it.
41:31We are all going through it and someone is talking about it.
41:36Rahul, Ravindra and sir.
41:38Showing it on the big screen, we felt, we are so happy that we are not alone in this.
41:43Yeah, yeah.
41:44That is making us happy.
41:45We are celebrating that.
41:46We are not alone in this.
41:48Maybe I can come.
41:51Maybe I can come out of it.
41:53Anna, you are so brave.
41:55I don't know.
42:00But I feel like different person right now.
42:07So, is there any moment or scene in this movie that changed your perspective
42:12of love or relationship?
42:14Because it all happened to us, I think.
42:16So, is there any moment for you in this movie that changed your perspective about love or relationship?
42:23Today, when all of you are sharing this pain.
42:26I did a movie.
42:27I did it in the mindset of, I think.
42:28I think.
42:29I think.
42:30I think.
42:31I think.
42:32I think.
42:33I think.
42:34I think.
42:35I think.
42:36I think.
42:37I think.
42:38I think.
42:39I think.
42:40I think.
42:41I thought it was going to be a very niche film.
42:42Very.
42:43You know.
42:44A small, closed group film.
42:45I think.
42:46Genuinely.
42:47I think.
42:48Because.
42:49I used to feel very alone.
