02:58What do you have to say?
02:59It feels so surreal right now. The response we got so far from the morning, it's amazing.
03:04Right. We were a little, you know, worried about the 3D thing and then 2D thing playing over here.
03:10This was marvelous, sir. This is something out of the world.
03:13What do you have to say on that?
03:17I mean, we would have preferred if it was in 3D as well and also the projection if it was in a better theater.
03:23But I'm glad you guys enjoyed it.
03:25We loved it, sir. Give it up for him, ladies and gentlemen.

03:36But here, Swoyambhu is something, something exceptional.
03:40Tell me, sir, what was that one thing that you had in mind while working on this project, sir?
03:47See, director had a very strong vision.
03:52Like he wanted to project this film in a certain way.
03:54So my thing was to help him get the visuals out.
03:58So, like, they believed in me.
04:00I believed in my craft and this is what the result is.
04:03It is fabulous.
04:04The result is fabulous.
04:05Sir, I don't know what you will do in a teaser trailer and in a picture, you know, it will be out of the world.

05:55Ladies and gentlemen.
05:56The filmmaker.
05:57The writer.
05:58Bharat sir.
05:59Bharat sir.
06:00You know.
06:01You know.
06:02Pan world.
06:03So, congratulations.
06:04First things first.
06:05Thank you very much.
06:06You know.
06:07You know.
06:08You know.
06:09The writer.
06:10Bharat sir.
06:11You know.
06:12Pan world.
06:13It is pan world.
06:14It is pan world.
06:15Telugu.
06:16Hindi.
06:17Tamil.
06:18Kannada.
06:19Malayalam.
06:20Arabic.
06:21Spanish.
06:22Japanese.
06:23Chinese.
06:24Yeah.
06:25Yeah.
06:26Yeah.
06:27We got offers from all.
06:28There are deals.
06:29That's why we have written.
06:30Look sir.
06:31Look.
06:32You know.
06:33You know.
06:34The thing is.
06:35This film is a blessing from the producer.
06:39See.
06:40The first.
06:41The producer has a blessing from the producer.
06:43The producer has a blessing from the producer.
06:45The producer has a blessing from the producer.
06:48See.
06:49The first.
06:50The producer has to believe.
06:51So.
06:52Only then.
06:53This kind of a film can be made.
06:54Right.
06:55Okay.
06:56Without the support of the production.
06:57Nothing can happen.
06:58And the second most important thing would be.
06:59The conviction of the hero.
07:02I mean.
07:03Literally.
07:04So.
07:05See.
07:06People who know the industry know that.
07:07You know.
07:08If the hero backs it.
07:09You know.
07:10If the hero backs it.
07:11Then the film will be a blockbuster.
07:12By default.
07:13Right.
07:14Okay.
07:15And.
07:16To get that.
07:17To that level.
07:18You need the production support.
07:19And.
07:20For a debutant like me.
07:21The production.
07:22I mean.
07:23Gohan sir.
07:24And.
07:25The kind of.
07:26Believe they have invested on me.
07:27More than the money.
07:28See.
07:29Money is one thing.
07:30But the belief.
07:31The belief.
07:32Can actually.
07:33One.

09:30I am so happy to be here.
09:32And, uh, first of all, thank you so much, media, for coming here and supporting us.
09:38I don't know what to say.
09:39So, the first time I saw the teaser was today.
09:41Yeah.
09:42On the big screen.
09:43Um, at Hyderabad.
09:45I watched it in 2D and 3D.
09:47I was blown away.
09:49So, uh, Sintil sir and Bhuvain and Nikhil, they have watched the film.
09:53And, of course, our director, sir, everybody have watched the film.
09:56So, um, I was seeing it for the first time.
09:59And, uh, I've done quite a lot of, like, a lot of films.
10:06But every film feels like first film.
10:09It's always that litmus test for us.
10:12And, um, signed the film long back.
10:15And then a lot of days, a lot of hard work from each.
10:19A lot of physical effort, I would say.
10:21You know, from Nikhil, of course, and then me, of course.
10:25All of us, you know.
10:27Doing all those fights, archeries, and whatever we did for the film.
10:31And, um, so, finally, to see that on the big screen, it's like, wow, thank God.
10:38So, that's what I felt.
10:40And, of course, I have to say thank you to my producer, director, and cinematographer,
10:44of course, and Nikhil, Naba, Ravi sir, thank you.
10:48Finally meeting you for the first time.
10:50Big fan.
10:51Uh, thank you so much, guys.
10:53And I am, uh, I would say that this is a very, very honest effort from this team.
10:59And, uh, you know, coming together.
11:01See, every department is present here to promote this film.
11:06That speaks a lot.
11:07You know, in the very, the first teaser that we are releasing, and we are right here promoting
11:11the film in Hyderabad.
11:12And, uh, you know, coming, you know, flying down to Bombay.
11:16Um, I don't know if this is the right place to say this.
11:19I thought I'll say this probably closer to the release, pre-release.
11:22I asked Bhuvan.
11:23Bhuvan, tell me honestly.
11:25What do you feel about the film?
11:27Because you've watched it.
11:28He said, it's gonna be a hit.
11:29That much I know.
11:30So a producer is saying that.
11:31And he's, to what level?
11:32We don't know.
11:33Then I'll say, it's okay.
11:34We'll just talk about it, hype about it.
11:35We'll go everywhere.
11:36We'll give, like, all in to promote the film, to take our film to wherever and, you know,
11:51to speak and just be there for the promotion.
11:53Uh, so that's a confidence that's coming from the producer.
11:56And he, I'm, he has invested a lot, guys.
11:59So, uh, so yeah, I think it's a very wholesome feeling, you know, to see, uh, I think we all
12:07live for cinema, very passionate about cinema.
12:09I love, I'm head over heels in love with cinema, you know?
12:13So I'm, everybody feels the same way.
12:15So to finally, you know, you're, you did a film, uh, and then you had a vision and then
12:19finally you see everything put together on the big screen and audience are clapping for
12:24it.
12:25So that's all we need.
12:26Absolutely.
12:27Absolutely.
12:28Yeah.
12:29That's the most, you know, the return that we need to get, you know, and organically,
12:34if it's like, as you were just talking about the fact, you know, let me tell you now, you
12:37don't have to do anything.
12:39Because the product is so good.
12:40We cannot do anything.
12:41Yeah.
12:42We cannot.
12:43I mean, all we can do is just honestly go to the media.
12:48See, I feel that, um, cinema is like, um, they present it to the audience.
12:54Now we are at the mercy.
12:55But, you know, from starting from the media, from the reviews to the audience, the real
12:59audience, they can, you know, just be like, oh, we love the film.
13:04That's it.
13:05And it just, it can go anywhere, like to, you know, whatever level.
13:08So finally, at the end of the review, just to the mercy of the audience, hope they love
13:14it.
13:15Okay.
13:16She said it.
13:17Give it up for her ladies and gentlemen.
13:18And now, it's time to talk to this superstar.

13:41good.

13:49Apologize because, you know, in the morning, like, you know, Hyderabad in the event and
13:52the flight was a little late.
13:55So, easily, I'm like, we're a little late.
13:57But, thank you so much.

13:59Karthikeya too ki liye.
14:00You know, all the effort and, you know, all the love you've given me and the support you've
14:03given me.
14:04I was a nobody.
14:05Like, you know, maybe my dub films would come.
14:07But, us film ke time peh, I know.
14:10You tweeted about it, talked about it, wrote reviews about it.
14:14And, you know, on YouTube, everywhere it was there, you know.
14:16And it was given so much love.
14:17It made so much money here and, you know, at the box office in Hindi too.
14:21And I'm always grateful for that and I want to thank you all.
14:24And I'm going to keep coming, you know, and I want to take, you know, I want to meet all
14:28these, you know, influencers, even the smallest of the smallest, you know, people who have
14:32helped us.
14:33And I also want to request that, guys, we are back with another film.
14:37It's called Swaimbu.
14:38And this film will not disappoint you.
14:40I've done other films in between.
14:41But I've not come to promote it here.

14:47That's why I am back with Swaimbu.
14:50And with such great star cast and such top technicians, you have got Ravi Basroor,
14:55who's like, India's right now, what India's like, world's most sought after music director.
14:59And, you know, Sandil Garu, who's like, you know, gone to the Oscars, like, he has frames
15:02of, like, like, created sensations.
15:04And, you know, everybody is here, like Samukta, Nabha.
15:07And so many more actors have not come.
15:10And you've got to meet them in the future, like Subraju Garu and, you know, Sunil.
15:13And, you know, you've got many stars.
15:15Even Nawab Shah was like here.
15:17Mukesh Khanna, sir, who's here.
15:18The Shaktiman is part of our film.
15:20Swaimbu.
15:21So we're all going to meet them for the trailer.
15:24And I'm very happy that you enjoyed this trailer too, teaser too.
15:28Thank you so much.
15:29I love you so much.
15:30I said.
15:31No, we love you.
15:32I love you so much.
15:33And, you know, I'm going to spend more time.
15:35And we'll have a nice conversation very soon.
15:39Whenever you guys are ready.
15:41Before anything else, sir, tell me one thing.
15:43I have to ask.
15:44We've talked about Sengol here.
15:46That sceptre.
15:47Is it the same sceptre that the Honorable Prime Minister of India, Modi Ji,
15:52has kept in the new parliament?
15:56You are right.
15:57You are right.
15:58You are right.
15:59The Prime Minister Modi Ji went to the parliament and had the Senegal placed.
16:03You know, he did a lot of puja.
16:04And, you know, they had a ceremony for it and they placed it in the parliament.
16:08This is the same Senegal that is going to be seen in Swaimphu.
16:11And there is a huge story behind that.
16:13You know, I think if you have seen the beginning of the teaser,
16:16you will understand that this Senegal is what you have.
16:19That was a transfer of power.
16:20Yeah.
16:21When transfer of power happened between kingdoms,
16:23Senegal was the mark.
16:25Senegal was the, you know, the symbol exactly.
16:28And I believe that, you know, it's said, the director has told me,
16:33and we have done research that the Senegal has come from Lord Shiva
16:36and he himself has given it to Ram.
16:38And, you know, and Lord Rama had the Senegal with him.
16:42And wherever the Senegal is there, that nation is going to be prosperous,
16:45that kingdom is going to be prosperous.
16:47And that is the reason why Modi Ji went to the parliament and placed it
16:50so that our nation is always prosperous.
16:52And so it's a big story.
16:54I mean, you know, some people were saying,
16:56what is Senegal?
16:57What is this?
16:58But this is a deep, very culturally rooted story
17:01that we are telling here.
17:02And we're telling it with amazing visuals, amazing cinematography,
17:05amazing music.
17:06And I think this film is supposed to be watched by everyone
17:09because sometimes history is changed by very small guys.
17:13In this movie, there is a guy next door,
17:18but with big dreams.
17:20And what this underdog does to change history along the way.
17:23And, you know, the shape of a nation
17:25is what this movie Swamp was about.
17:27Wow.
17:28Thank you so much for sharing that.
17:29Bharat sir, please tell me, you have written too.
17:31So, talk to us.
17:33It's like Mr. Sir has just told you.
17:35It's also linked to it.
17:36But at the same time,
17:37how much real is your experience
17:39and how much filmy is it?
17:42Sir, the thing is,
17:44the character of the hero's character
17:47and the kingdom
17:49and we're talking about the single
17:51that we're talking about.
17:52It's all real.
17:53Okay.
17:54Okay.
17:55We do a little fictionalize for cinema
17:57but the concentration
17:59that we make the juice
18:01is real.
18:02Right.
18:03Okay.
18:04So, this is not fictionalized or made up things.
18:09This story happened in Central India.
18:11Like, you know, it happened in India
18:131000 years back,
18:14985 AD.
18:15So, yeah.
18:16So, it's like,
18:17it is,
18:18what do you call,
18:20true story.
18:22Right.
18:23But, fictions based on true story.
18:25Historical fiction, you can call it.
18:27So, the percentage would be 60-40 or 70-30.
18:3060% true.
18:3160-70% true.
18:3260-70% true.
18:3330%...
18:34So,
18:35gold may be
18:36milawat ke liye
18:37usko
18:38juda...
18:39Hoona potta hai na.
18:40Waise.
18:41To cinema mein,
18:42waise wo to...
18:43That was fabulous.
18:44You know, the way you explained it to all of us.
18:57Naba,
18:58like while you were being cast for this,
19:00was this the kind of, you know, narration
19:03or what was told to you
19:05when you were on board?
19:07Actually,
19:08when I went to meet Bharat sir,
19:11his office is like filled with all information
19:16and, you know, historical,
19:18you know, stuff.
19:21And he told me that,
19:23I have a story for five films.
19:25Yes.
19:26We'll see how many movies we can make.
19:28I was like, okay, wow.
19:30That's something cool.
19:32And he also told the importance of my character.
19:38Everybody has ambition.
19:41Everybody wants to, you know, move ahead in life.
19:44And we work really hard for it.
19:47But you always know that
19:49when we don't have that kind of energy and strength
19:53to move forward,
19:54there will always be somebody behind us
19:57who will always be supporting you throughout.
20:00When we are like in a hurry to go and get our dreams
20:05and ambition,
20:06we won't think about them.
20:07But when we are down,
20:08they'll be quietly watching you.
20:10And they'll come at the right point to support you
20:13and push you forward.
20:14And that's the kind of emotional, you know,
20:17angle and emotional resonance I have with this character.
20:20In my career, it was like a very different vibe
20:27when it comes to visual appeal and like emotional resonance.
20:31So I thought I have to be a part of this film
20:33because it's beautiful.
20:35It's gorgeous.
20:36Yeah.
20:37Thank you so much for sharing that.
20:39Samyukta, this is not your regular filmy heroine role, right?
20:43I'm sure every single time you're cast for a movie,
20:46but for this, how special was this?
20:50And kya kya huwa BTS, thoda sa bata do humko.
20:53Extremely special.
20:55I would like to start from where Naba mentioned about
20:59how so had stories for five films.
21:02The thing is, he's so well researched.
21:05I'm well read and, you know,
21:08I think he's so much in love with the land
21:12and the legacy and the culture of, you know, our land.
21:15So he's trying to, you know, say that story
21:19and I'm also pretty much on the same space.
21:22You know, I love my land and my culture and the legacy.
21:25What we have is very big.
21:28Now, when I got this, you know, this,
21:32this was the second time I was doing an action, you know,
21:37I wouldn't say my character has a lot of action stuff to do in this.
21:42There's archery and I had to learn galloping, horse riding for it.
21:47And then I did a lot of adventure stuff while shooting this film.
21:51You know, there was a shot where I had to jump from 60 feet.
21:54I mean, on a rope, of course, but.
21:56Jumping 60 feet was one thing.
21:57And I was, we were shooting in a very jungle kind of an area.
22:00It was very dangerous as a waterfall there.
22:02And I was like, I came to the set and I was like, hero,
22:05and did she come to the set?
22:06Like, sir, she's working from morning.
22:07I'm like, I can't see her anywhere.
22:08They said, look up.
22:09On top of a mountain, she was just climbing the mountain.
22:12I was like, dude, are you serious?
22:13Just with one small rope, she was like, you know,
22:17and it was not a set, it was an actual mountain.
22:21So, really crazy.
22:24Yeah, I would say, where were we?
22:29I'm so sorry.
22:30Mountain?
22:31I went there to the mountains.
22:34Jumping.
22:35Yeah, jumping, yeah.
22:36So, there's a lot of things, I know that.
22:39But, I'm not sure, I think it's Solomon Master, my fight master,
22:44who, you know, said this.
22:46I said, Master, I don't know.
22:47So, anything they ask, my first answer is, I will do it,
22:50but I don't know.
22:52Okay.
22:53I don't know, but I'm ready to do it.
22:55And then, Master said one thing.
22:57In film, you don't have to really do something.
23:01You should do it in a way it looks convincing.
23:04The rest is our job.
23:06We'll make, you know, make sure that it is shown in the right way.
23:09It's a film.
23:10So, don't really hit or, you know, do stuff.
23:13Like, you know, you just act.
23:15So, yeah, it went on like that.
23:19And the character, but I would say after this film, what happened is,
23:26I did action in three other films.
23:29Yeah.
23:30So, this is the first time I did action.
23:32It's like a disease.
23:34I don't know.
23:35Sorry.
23:36I would say this.
23:37As far as we are on the winning side, it is fun to do action.
23:40Like, yeah, you know, we are winning, we are giving the punch.
23:43To receive the punch, I know it's very difficult.
23:45But as far as we are on the winning side, it's very much fun.
23:49So, yeah.
23:50And one thing also I would like to add, when I signed the film, this, you know,
23:53they had plans of releasing it next Sankranti.
23:56Like, you know, short in these many days, this timeline.
24:00We'll start, I'll remember this.
24:01Start in August.
24:02We'll finish this by this, you know, November.
24:05And then small post-production and then immediate release.
24:08Two Sankranti finished.
24:12Two Sankranti finished.
24:13So, Sankranti is our big, you know, festival in there.
24:16Still we are doing, doing, doing.
24:18So, I would say it's not a, you know, a delay that happened in the production.
24:23It was the effort that the technicians and the team was putting in
24:29to make sure we make the best product.
24:33Absolutely.
24:34So, and the producers, they just backed it.
24:37And I, this is the, when I signed the film, it was this.
24:42In production, it became this.
24:45In every, you know, schedule, it just started growing, growing, growing.
24:49Finally, when I watched on screen, it's like some other film.
24:54It's big, it's huge.
24:56So, this is pretty much, you know, my feeling about that journey.
25:01I enjoyed it.
25:02There was a lot of new things.
25:03I mean, I fell in love with horse riding.
25:06So, sir asked me, just learn.
25:10You just need to, you know, just basic, you should know.
25:14But I started, fun.
25:19And then I'm not a morning person and all.
25:21But, you know, you have to do this practice early in the morning.
25:25I started waking up at 4.30, going at the sunrise time.
25:29And, you know, I would say there's a sort of friendship that I developed
25:33with that horse, Laka.
25:35And...
25:36My horse is called Diamond.
25:38Diamond.
25:39Diamond and Laka.
25:40Yeah.
25:41Diamond and Laka.
25:42And there's a sequence.
25:43So, I started taking it very competitively.
25:45And I tell Laka, I used to talk to him like this.
25:48Hey, Laka.
25:49I want to beat this guy.
25:50Just go.
25:51And he used to understand.
25:53He used to listen.
25:54So, yeah.
25:55So, I would say, on a funny note, I can just say this.
25:59It's a privilege to be an actor.
26:02Because my producer would pay for all these adventures that we have to do.
26:07She said she liked hiking, so we put her on a mountain.
26:10Wow.
26:11Yeah.
26:12Yeah, exactly.
26:13I said, oh, yeah, yeah.
26:14They were like, do you like...
26:15I love mountains.
26:16It's so much fun.
26:17And then, finally, I'm climbing this rock.
26:19Okay.
26:20And similar...
26:21I said it's a privilege to be an actor.
26:23Because they took care of my riding...
26:26You know, horse riding classes.
26:27I used to go there.
26:28I took my own sweet time to become a pro rider.
26:31And now, I'll be using that skill in some other film also.
26:34Of course.
26:35If, you know, if I get a chance.
26:37So, yeah.
26:38They sent me to Vietnam for 45 days.
26:39I know that.
26:40Oh, the producer.
26:41I want to thank Bhuvan and Taghra Badu Garu.
26:44To become the warrior or whatever, get the body language.
26:4645 days, I was in Vietnam.
26:48Learning martial arts.
26:50Not partying.
26:51Learning martial arts.
26:52You know, doing like all the weapon training and all that.
26:55So, it was a life-changing experience for me.
26:57Sir, martial arts to din mein hota tha.
26:59No, no.
27:00Ha, ha, ha.
27:01That man.
27:02I had to sleep.
27:03He had no energy to party.
27:04So, by the way, for that...
27:05He was training for six hours a day.
27:06Sir was also there, no?
27:07What were you guys doing after six o'clock in the question?
27:08Sir, what were you doing with Vietnam, sir?
27:10Apart from shooting, sir.
27:11Please tell us.
27:12Making sure he was not partying.
27:14That was my only aim.
27:17Sainter, sir.
27:18Please, aap muje bataye.
27:20What kind of discussions did you and Bharat, sir, had, you know?
27:24Because you guys have to be in sync to make something exceptional.
27:29As exceptional as this?
27:30First of all, this story is a very inspirational story.
27:40Like, if you have an aim or a goal, it doesn't depend upon from where you come.
27:46You can actually do whatever, like, if you are willing to work hard, you are willing to
27:51do the sacrifices, you can achieve the impossible.
27:54So, that's that kind of a story.
27:55So, it can be anyone, anyone from any village or any small town kind of thing.
28:00People, even if people in power are trying to suppress you, like, you can come up.
28:04So, this is that kind of a story, which is actually, like, I really love the theme, because it's
28:09very universal.
28:10Like, anywhere, people in power always wants to suppress you.
28:13So, this is a story that, which is, what I can say, people will connect to it and will
28:20love it.
28:21So, that was the first thing I really loved about the film.
28:24And Bharat had big ideas, like, okay, like, okay, how he wants the film to be like, and
28:30also, he used to tell whatever.
28:32For me, it was always about, like, showing India in the best possible way.
28:36I tried to do it in Bahubali and, like, so, like, whenever, like, I was recently seeing,
28:43when people talk about history of other countries, they have references.
28:47We talk about Egypt, we talk about Greece and all.
28:50When we talk about India, so, we don't have any, like, we always have only written things.
28:55So, visually, we wanted to do something.
28:57So, that is, I always, like, feel like, okay, like, India may be epics ban sakte hai,
29:02so, compared to all that huge films like Ben-har or, like, those kind of films, which I love.
29:07So, I took it up as a challenge and I wanted to present this film also in that scale kind
29:12of a thing.
29:13So, we had our own constraints and budget challenges, but since the vision was clear
29:18and the support was there from the producers and the actors are willing to do, so, my work
29:23became easy, actually, like.
29:25So, the kind of discussions were majorly about, like, okay, like, how to make this, what is the
29:32that the director wants to tell in the, in the shots or in this, in this scene.
29:36So, usko multiply karke kaise dikha sakpe, kind of a thing.
29:39Whether it's a close-up or a wide shot look.
29:41So, it was my responsibility and I think I have done a good job.
29:46Decent job for that matter.
29:47He's killed it.
29:49He's killed it, of course.
29:50He's killed it.
29:51You know, I'll come to him.
29:52And I was, like, very excited.
29:54Like, the kind of music enhanced the whole visual experience.
29:58So, I am very thankful to Ravi sir for, like, pushing it to the next level.
30:02I did something and then he pushed it to the next level.
30:05Absolutely.
30:06I'll come to Ravi sir.
30:07Bhuvan sir, I'll come to you.
30:08But quickly, Ravi sir, talking about this entire journey, as I said, you know, what kind of
30:12discussions did you guys have?
30:14Sir, tell us how much of our actor-sahap's contribution was.
30:18What kind of discussions did you have with him?
30:20Because I actually went to Vietnam to see him.
30:23Oh, yes, yes, sir.
30:25No, actually, the thing is, he came on his own note.
30:29And, you know, he was there for just two, three days.
30:32Just to make sure he was not partying.
30:35No, sir.
30:36Actually, Ravi Basnur sir goes to different areas and, you know, he loves to go to the nature,
30:40hear sounds and all that.
30:41So, even there, he was always talking about music.
30:43So, I had a great four days with Ravi sir.
30:46And we had some sorry sittings also.
30:48Talk to us about the sound, sir, that you heard over there, sir.
30:51Move back to you.
30:52Oh, sir.
30:53Enki jo bhi mein karra hou, he's not doing.
30:57Mein nahi karra hou.
30:58So, Bhagawan kuch ho ra hai bas.
31:01So, my only thing is, jo bhi paani kithar se a raha hai mehreko malum nahi.
31:06So, I'm a tap.
31:07So, jo bhi paani hai, wo achhe logan ke liye taraf jaye.
31:11Or, un ka jo bhi, enki kitta sa trust hai hai.
31:16Yeah, I will then to you.
31:17So, they're having haa.
31:18So, so, wo barosa clear hua toho bas.
31:21Kya baat isa.
31:22I'm sure, jo hum nahi yaha pe awazi suni, wo badi kamal ki hai.
31:26Or, bilkul ywo poori setting ke saath ja raha hai.
31:28So, total movie.
31:30See, sometimes kya hoata hai.
31:32So, movie ache hoata hai.
31:33Lekin music ke liye space nahi hota hai.
31:36So, this, he's written, un ka writing aisa hai ki.
31:40So, this is the dialogue, we need space for music.
31:43This is the dialogue, we need space for this.
31:46Aisa hai, poora movie ke andar itna space hai ki aap music sun sakte hai.
31:51So, writing is very important.
31:53He's very strong in writing.
31:54Uske baad, every, jo bhi hai, placement ka explanation.
31:59He's giving the detail explanation.
32:01Aoske baad, ho, explanation hoon hai ke baad, apko tourent a jae ga.
32:05Jo bhi karna hai.
32:06So, uske baad, mere isaap se best director is, choose the best.
32:11Director ka main kaami hohi hai.
32:14Choose the best.
32:15So, he's very strong in that.
32:16Jo bhi haam kaam, uh, composing kar rahe tah, ur joh bhi score ban rah tha, ur joh bhi hai.
32:22So, every, total team hai na, isme kya acha, kya na hai.
32:25We have done around the three to four version of trailer.
32:28So we will use that.
32:35So the best thing is that we have to see everyone's angle,
32:45and that's the strength of music.
32:48Sometimes we have to be monetized,
32:51and after a person comes to watch and listen,
32:55I think this is good.
32:57So that kind of freedom we have in our team.
33:00So it's all because of their inputs.
33:08Just one thing I would like to add.
33:10Ravi, sir, you have to understand a top music director
33:15who doesn't have ego and is ready to take input.
33:19See, that is very unique, and people inside us know that.
33:23You understand? That's a very unique thing,
33:25and that's a very important thing.
33:27Only then you will get, you know, background scores like that.
33:31Or else you might get songs.
33:33And to add to that, he has given a fantastic album.
33:38I'm telling you, when we release these songs,
33:40those songs are going to be a rage.
33:42One hundred percent, I can, I mean, I don't know.
33:45I don't want to say too much.
33:46I'll leave it alone.
33:48They're very good.
33:50The songs are very good.
33:51Okay.
33:52So, I have done more than 140 movies background score.
33:58More than 60th of them to 70th of them songs.
34:00So, every time, when you have a director,
34:04so, when you are prepared for listening,
34:08you can learn.
34:09If your ear is not ready to, you can't learn.
34:13So, while working on KGF's time,
34:17so, we are done around 18 versions of score.
34:2018 versions score,
34:22every time, sir will come and sir will ask,
34:25so, you know what's good?
34:28He was going to ask you.
34:30Why did I say that you are doing?
34:32Who knows, sir?
34:34Who knows, sir?
34:35Rocky, or Prashant?
34:36Who knows?
34:38Who knows?
34:39Who will come and will be good?
34:41At least we are having the version, no?
34:44I am having a collection of 20-24 TB.
34:48Non-used.
34:49So, from KGF-1,
34:51from Ugram to T-8.
34:53Minimum 24 TB.
34:54Non-used.
34:55All finished work.
34:56So, after the 25 years,
34:57we will see what is going on.
34:58We have done all the goody-goody talks and everything.
35:03Now,
35:05who has, as a producer,
35:07has been the most difficult part of the producer,
35:09and what was the most challenging thing for you, sir?
35:11And what was the most challenging thing for you, sir?
35:13Yes, sir.
35:14Now,
35:15we have done all the goody-goody talks and everything now.
35:19Spill the beans.
35:20Who has, as a producer,
35:21the most challenging thing for you, sir?
35:23And what was the most challenging thing for you, sir?
35:26Please, please tell us.
35:27Hmm?
35:28You can name names.
35:29Name names.
35:30So,
35:31as Samithya said,
35:32we gave them a deadline of one year.
35:34That was in 2023.
35:36So,
35:37all have equal parts paration.
35:41You can't blame them.
35:42You can get them.
35:43You can get them as a team.
35:46The funny part is,
35:49no,
35:50you can take them.
35:52This is yours now.
35:54So,
35:55he's a cool producer.
35:57So,
35:58we had a tent.
36:00All the technicians,
36:01we, you know,
36:02used to sit there,
36:03and Bhuvan would appear sometime,
36:04you know,
36:05at his own office time of 10,
36:0710.30.
36:08And then,
36:09he knows that it's all,
36:10you know,
36:11that suddenly,
36:12the director's dream has gotten bigger,
36:14and any discussion of,
36:15oh,
36:16getting bigger,
36:17he'll smile.
36:18It is extended,
36:20he will smile.
36:21I was always happy that it's getting extended,
36:23because I was also supportive of it.
36:25Yeah,

39:39See, it's not that, you know, when you try to do that,
39:42you get perfection every time.
39:44We try to properly say it properly.
39:48And we hope that it comes out well.
39:51And then we hope that the audience accepts it.
39:54So the human emotions are universal.
39:58So we are just trying to stay true to our Indian culture
40:03and the roots.
40:04And as Nikhil Bhai told previously also,
40:11an underdog story is basically universal.
40:15The rise of an underdog or a victory of an underdog,
40:18it's basically universal.
40:19So people definitely, I hope, will get connected to it.
40:24Well, I think I'll just finish.
40:27I think this film has to be watched by everybody.
40:31And you know, like, you know,
40:32many movies, you know, we always keep it very clean
40:35so that the entire family can enjoy with this, this film.
40:37And especially, you know, like, you know,
40:39a lot of kids came and watched Karthikeya too.
40:41Because, you know, they really enjoyed.
40:43Because about Lord Sri Krishna and, you know,
40:44about, you know, hidden stories, I say,
40:47we need to like, you know, make sure kids like also watch,
40:49you know, and this is a kid-friendly film.
40:51It's going to be 3D and it's going to be a fantasy exciting.
40:55And there is a little bit of mysticism also.
40:57There is somebody very exciting in the film.
40:58I don't want to reveal right now, but his blessings are with us.
41:03Yes. So, you know, you'll watch it in the film. Yeah.
