00:59The후 is a cinema car.
01:08Do you have to become local participants, players and Dubai are one global platform.
01:29unlike not many other countries they are still a kingdom it's not a democratic country but
01:37they are keeping up to the qualities of what should be the timber of governance in the form
01:46of being available to or making availabilities to the people who believe in their work so being
01:55Malayalese I think the numbers are huge in the Gulf not just UA in the Middle East but you have
02:06to
02:07think about your country every day a country's administration glimpses should be in your thought
02:16process how you will contribute to it is destiny I never thought I'll be in this chair that a major
02:28share of my life will be in Delhi I never thought if you ask me I never wished it is
02:38destiny you can
02:39go dreaming wild so think about your country even if you are in Antarctica or in space think about
02:48what is happening and what should have happened and who is making it happen the table is yours sir
02:57can you please tell us and give us some advice on how even after we reach great heights and great
03:02efforts in our public life or towards the society how can we maintain a great bond along with the
03:08family and balance it out thanks thank you for the compliments but I don't think or I don't believe
03:16that I was again that perfect test I might perhaps be good at it managing both but I don't think
03:28I have
03:29touched that perfect test soon and I will ever be able to I'm not at all looking after my family
03:39now when in
03:42films during the initial stages when my parents were around I didn't have to do it because they were playing
03:51my role as well at home both my dad and my mom they did better parenting not grandparenting so once
04:03they
04:04left I found time I took time from my entertainment segment and took up the band or baton but once
04:17into this
04:18I'm very sorry to tell you I'm not really fair with my family my wife manages she's finding it tough
04:30but someone has to do it back home you've had a long journey from cinema entertainment to politics
04:36so basically what motivated you to do so and how has this transition changed you it was actually an
04:43invitation which came up from 2012 but I used to be in very constant touch with all the the nobles
04:53in
04:54the political industry like leader Sri Karnakaran to a certain extent Mr. Umman Chandy Mr. A.K. Antony
05:08to a larger extent E.K. N. R. and also V.S. Hachshidhananda but performing to the design of a
05:17certain
05:17politics which I believe is living and administering to the benevolence and benefit of its country led by my
05:30prime minister dear prime minister Mr. Mr. Modi so how do I take it cannot be a question
05:42during a period when I will retire say for life then you can ask me how have you taken it
05:53until then
05:54you have to wait how has your experience in cinema industry helped you in understanding the people
06:03and society as a political representative very good question it is very good because I have the perfect
06:11answer to it look at the timber of my characters in my films
06:18be me a doctor an engineer a politician a cop what did my characters watch for and live for in
06:30all my films go
06:32have a look at all those older films were pepping up the society when you weren't not even in the
06:39blueprint
06:40understand Mohan thomas inda ucchishto omedhiyom kooti kodichu nalini nairam vittividhingi
06:46embakka umvit asanathil valim churitivacchu ayalda khalchivvattil kadaknan ninnapolola parama chetrakal kaya
06:53upe eri cheiru enikki cheiru la oorto I am Bharat Chandran just remember that
07:02and also remember that once a cop always a cop and I am a bloody cop
07:14so you have to check the timber of those characters my characters have been living for the people that
07:23was the best experience I never used to know what political engineering is what political
07:30I still don't know what political habits should be I just know that you have to be a human cinema
07:38was
07:40lesson or subject or syllabi for me into what is making me however you will assess me all that is
07:52that has made me and is making me now has come from lessons I have taken from
08:00my the the characters I have that depicted in my films what are your feelings of you and your family
08:08when you got elected as a minister and from the transition from an actor to a minister they all knew
08:14that one day or the other I am going to be there but they are never after this if you
08:22ask me
08:24I have tickets for my family 48 tickets every year
08:31last year last year the air tickets to Delhi used by my family was only 18 I think 15 or
08:4318
08:45last year I will not say they are against this but they are not too much for this
08:52they take everything lightly
08:54you travel a lot right sir
08:56and as a minister of state tourism what do you think about the potential of Kerala to be the next
09:05big tourist attraction
09:07not the next big it is already huge the only thing is if I as a son of Malayanam
09:18if I have a design this answer will be totally political I am sorry
09:27pertaining to the stipulation set by
09:31a federal government or sticking to cooperative federalism law structures anything that is my design
09:43can happen only if the state government and its tourism department will align with my thought process
09:53they have to bring projects they have to set the table first I can only be a server
10:05understand so to bring it to the next level if you ask me I have a role to play but
10:15that will happen
10:16if any government which elect gets elected will run for the state like how I wish to
10:28or my government wishes to or my ministry will wish to
10:36it has to align
10:38we have acted in many films and are still acting in films so how do you balance
10:43both politics and film industry how do you balance passion and your profession sir
10:49that is where I am stuck now I don't want to be I don't wish to be a very open
10:57in this
10:58matter but my passion is at stake now I have to agree but my leaders are giving me
11:09not ample but definitely a space to satisfy my passionate needs also especially Mr. Amitsha
11:22I'm thinking camera as a whirlwind sound I don't think there is no whirlwind sound
11:28there's a small sound but my
11:30there is a silence
11:30start action cut
11:35so I hear more of a need to make a balancing act
11:40I think I'm going to go to the same
11:41because I know I'm going to go to the same
11:42but my responsibilities are huge I have got
11:44But two huge ministries, huge in the aspect responsibility, the petroleum ministry, oil and natural gas, and tourism, which needs
12:02perfect focus.
12:04Sir, in movies and politics, there is a huge transition.
12:10Sir, face their problems other than family bonds. And how you overcame that?
12:17There is a lot of criticism, a lot of emotion brandy.
12:21It is not true.
12:26I was almost forced into politics.
12:30I was forced into it.
12:40I was forced into it.
12:44I was forced into it.
12:49Which is the one place that an Indian student, that you think the Indian student must visit at least once?
12:56Being a Malayali, I should not propose.
13:04I am sure that there might be some incident that inspired you to join the politics.
13:12Like, that made you feel that we need you.
13:16I don't think I've ever done anything.
13:19I haven't done politics.
13:21I've done politics.
13:23I've done politics.
13:26I've done that very well.
13:27I've done this.
13:27I've done this.
13:28I've done this.
13:29I've gone to the hospital.
13:36AIDS affected people.
13:40One thing that I've done is I'm going to go to the hospital.
13:45If you go to the hospital,
13:49you'll be able to get a hospital.
13:50Go to the hospital and go to the hospital.
13:53That's what I'm doing.
13:56AIMES is coming up.
14:26This is the most important part of the project.
14:28Is it not the responsibility of the state to play a participant's role in this building?
14:38Central government is thalam.
14:40I have a utopia idea.
14:43No, the state is thalam.
14:45I have a political design.
14:48Development is nothing.
14:51What do you think about it?
14:52Just think.
14:54Central government is thalam.
14:56Paisa Chalavaki made it.
14:59That's why it's not the case of the state government.
15:01It's not the case of the Indian people.
15:05It's not the case of the state government.
15:09I have to go to the state government.
15:13Let them at least say that they are ready to provide land in Alopee and Trishura as well.
15:18Alopee is not the case of the state government.
15:21That's not the case of the state government.
15:23If it's not possible, Trishur is my demand.
15:26Being the first BJP elected MP from Kerala, it is a fair request or proposal.
15:36And what is the benefit of having it in Trishur?
15:40Exact centrally positioned in Kerala.
15:44Even from Kerala and Palakad, accessibility.
15:49Exact centrally.
15:51Sir, in the acting career, political life, was there an important lesson or important values
15:57that you had got that our students could relate to or learn from it?
16:01Passion was.
16:03See, it cannot be liking or you think that I have this ability and I want to make it there.
16:11Or maybe if that is not possible, then yeah.
16:15See, it's not possible.
16:15See, it's not possible.
16:15See, it's not possible that our ambition and composition is okay.
16:20It's not possible that we are going to make it there.
16:22It's not possible that we are going to make it there.
16:33Work up to blending it properly.
16:42And struggle for it.
16:44It is not enough that you work for it or work up to it.
16:49You have to struggle.
16:50It is not possible that you are going to struggle.
16:55You have to struggle to succeed.
16:59It is not you.
17:03You have to struggle is you.
17:06I am sorry.
17:06What is that?
17:06Because of that issue, I did not defeat me.
17:07Sir, you have a few police roles.
17:09So, if something was a police role, you need to do an action,
17:12you have to do nothing.
17:13You will never learn anything.
17:14You will never learn anything about martial arts or practice.
17:16So, sir, never face challenges to you.
17:19Challenges are not going to be faced.
17:22If you want to do something like this, you will be able to do something like this.
17:27But there are some flexibility for the muscles and extensibilities.
17:36So I've been able to do this for the long time and work with my level.
17:46I've been able to do the same thing.
17:49We do the same thing.
17:51We do the same thing.
17:52We try to do the same thing.
17:53We try to do the same thing.
17:56I had to do a round off.
17:59I had to finish the day.
18:01If you do a job, the job is a job,
18:06you will have to do a job.
18:07you will have to do a job.
18:10In the way, you will have to do a job.
18:14You will have to do a job.
18:18You will have to do a job.
18:22It's an inherent ability.
18:25That's how I fight.
19:16How has living in Delhi and being from Kerala helped you understand the diversity of India?
19:22Could you give us an advice about it?
19:25I've been throughout India as an actor.
19:29So that has actually imprinted the diversity of India.
19:39And also through cultural learning which has touched me.
19:43I've been throughout India as an artist.
19:54I've been throughout India as an artist.
20:05I've been throughout India as an artist.
20:34I've been throughout India as an artist.
20:35I've been throughout India as an artist.
20:36I've been throughout India as an artist.
23:16Very much like you all, I am also proud to be an Indian.
