00:00Hello, Namaskar. Welcome to Saraswati Promotion.
00:03I am the versatile actress Priya Monika.
00:06The versatile actor Kishore Garo.
00:08The versatile DOB Edmund Garo.
00:10And the versatile set director Mr. Sudhir Garo.
00:13The versatile director.
00:16So, I am an enthusiast.
00:18I am an enthusiast.
00:19Sir, tell me.
00:20What was her experience in Saraswati?
00:23Working with me.
00:24Working under her direction.
00:25It is nice.
00:28Very comfortable.
00:31Sir, when you tell me something,
00:32I will tell you something.
00:33I will say something.
00:34I will say something.
00:37I will say something.
00:38It is a 10 mark answer.
00:40Ok, you have an essay question sir.
00:41I am going to extend it.
00:44You have a paragraph.
00:45You have to say something.
00:46Done.
00:47So, you have to answer one word.
00:48How was your experience working with us?
00:50Yeah, it was easy.
00:53I like the answer.
00:55Sir, it is not a 10 mark essay.
00:57I will say something.
00:58I will say something.
00:58I will say something.
00:58I will fail at school.
01:02Ok.
01:02At least one mark question.
01:03I will say something.
01:05I will say something.
01:06I will say something.
01:06Anyway.
01:07I am moving on to Priya Manigaro.
01:08Yes.
01:09Tell me.
01:09You have worked with such many stars.
01:12Stars.
01:13Yes.
01:13So many stars.
01:14You have worked with Shahru Khan.
01:16Who I get hot for.
01:17Yes.
01:17But my husband will kill me from the left.
01:19No, no.
01:20It is okay.
01:20Shahru Khan.
01:21Yes.
01:21So, how do you feel working on sets of Salswati?
01:24Fantastic.
01:25Hey, I will punch both of you all.
01:27If you all tell this, one word answers.
01:29Tell correctly quite late.
01:33No.
01:34No.
01:35With all due respect to all the directors and actors that I have worked with.
01:44Sir, please note the point.
01:46I am giving ten mark answers.
01:47Yeah.
01:48I will also add in.
01:49I don't know.
01:50No copy.
01:51No, no, no.
01:53No copy.
01:54But when you come to this movie, I have to say that it was like a breeze.
02:03Because from the time the movie was conceptualized, from the time I have told the story, I have to say
02:11that it was like a set.
02:18Whatever was the update.
02:20I have to say that.
02:21I have to say that.
02:23I have to say that.
02:23I have to say that.
02:24I have to say that.
02:24I have to say that.
02:26What do you think?
02:27So, I think Varu as a director also, you know, I think she also had that thing, she was open
02:37to suggestions, that whatever we thought about it.
02:41Like, what do you think?
02:42What do you think?
02:44So, I think she was very gracious enough to accept it or say,
02:50I think I will say it.
02:52And personally, if we felt, because I have one of the scenes in Kishore,
02:58maybe we didn't discuss it, we said,
03:00I will say it, I will say it.
03:01I think I will say it, I will say it, I will say it.
03:05So, we used to go and tell Varu also that,
03:07personally, I feel it, I will say it, I will say it.
03:09Or, if we felt it,
03:12that this scene, we want,
03:14we as actors want 100% enough,
03:17we want to make it more convincing and to make it as real as possible.
03:24And as a director, she was like,
03:26I am okay, but I am not okay with this take.
03:31So, she said, no, I think the previous one was better.
03:35Or she used to say, no, this was better.
03:37So, she had, she was very open to suggestions,
03:40very comfortable director to work with.
03:44And being an actor herself,
03:46I am sure she understands every actor's position,
03:50what is required of the scene.
03:53And everything was pre-planned.
04:04So, we wouldn't have to waste a lot of time from one place to the other or one spot to
04:11the other.
04:12So, I think everything was so perfectly planned.
04:14And I think we had a blast,
04:17we had a breeze shooting because
04:19very openly she used to say,
04:21very openly she used to say,
04:22this is the only scene that I was shooting.
04:25So, you have only about maximum of about 2 hours of work.
04:28So, then you know,
04:30we were like,
04:31so, by 5.15, 5.30,
04:34I think day one we wrapped up at about 3.34 or something.
04:38And we were so happy in the evening.
04:40Like shooting,
04:41there is no one.
04:42The main reason why I am saying that is because
04:44everything was,
04:45the only place in this location was,
04:49the only scene was shooting,
04:51the only scene was shooting.
04:52And the only scene was shooting.
04:54That's it.
04:54So, I think it was,
04:55it was a breeze when we shot for Saraswati.
04:58And like I said,
05:00in the pre-release event also,
05:02onward and upward from here,
05:05this should not be the be-all end-all of it.
05:08You have all the movies,
05:10because you have all the capabilities
05:12of being a fabulous director.
05:14Kishu, sir,
05:15how do you answer this?
05:16You have one more answer.
05:18Sir, okay,
05:18what do you answer, sir?
05:19What do you answer, sir?
05:20You have one more answer.
05:21It was fantastic.
05:22It was good.
05:23What she said,
05:24she understood everybody's position.
05:26So,
05:26I am the producer,
05:29assistant.
05:30A anchor is a dubbing.
05:32I know this,
05:32and I am the director.
05:34So,
05:35come to you,
05:35Edwin, sir.
05:35And this is like,
05:36this is also during shoot.
05:38So,
05:39Edwin, sir,
05:39tell you?
05:40Do you have any other story or Tamil?
05:41Tamil.
05:41Tamil.
05:42Okay.
05:42Let us go.
05:43I will tell you,
05:44I will tell you.
05:44I will tell you.
05:45Okay.
05:45Okay.
05:46I will tell you.
05:48I will tell you,
05:50if you have a story,
05:51you have a script,
05:53you have to tell you.
05:56So what made you choose Saraswathi and decide what made you accept the story?
06:03This is the first time I have a female director.
06:06First time you have a story.
06:09I told you this is not a female director.
06:20You can't say that you have two hours before you stop it.
06:29This is the story.
06:31This is paragraph answer.
06:33No, no.
06:34Yes, paragraph answer.
06:35But four lines.
06:37Four lines.
06:38That's the student.
06:41Very good.
06:42Mr. Chilli, I mean Mr. Sudhir Galu.
06:44Chilli?
06:45I used to call him Chilli because he looks like a Chilli.
06:49Mr. Chilli, tip me.
06:51So, what was your experience working on this Saraswathi set and what was your most difficult task that you had?
06:59You think properly and tell properly, Suthi. Otherwise, everyone will give you payment.
07:03Tell correctly.
07:04And then I'm out.
07:06Edit.
07:08The best part was Telugu.
07:12The best part was Telugu.
07:14The best part was Telugu.
07:15Ok.
07:17The whole journey, that single schedule.
07:20See, now I see why I call him Chilli.
07:22Can you hear what you are saying?
07:23Yes.
07:24I can't do it.
07:24I can't do it.
07:26The whole process of the shoot, single schedule we planned.
07:33Firstly, that was a scary part for me.
07:35Even to think about.
07:37Correct.
07:37But at the same time, you were so planned and you were so clear with what you want.
07:42So, every day, we never had any hiccups.
07:45That is a good side of it.
07:46Let me tell you the bad side of it.
07:48Ok.
07:48This is very sweetly he is talking.
07:50Does he actually talk this sweetly?
07:52Yeah, yeah.
07:52He is always like this only.
07:54That's why he got me to do the work like that.
07:55Ok.
07:55Ok.
07:56It's ok.
07:57It's ok.
07:58He will do this.
07:59But I say, he actually had a very difficult task.
08:02Because Edwin sir and me, we knew.
08:05We can't do that in any location.
08:07Yeah.
08:08But for him what happened was, he had set up.
08:10He had to set up multiple locations in the same time.
08:18Right.
08:19So, that was I think a task that he pulled off superbly, Sudhir.
08:22I must say.
08:23Ok.
08:24Ok.
08:24We are shooting this.
08:25Here I was.
08:26But,
08:29It takes time.
08:31It's easy to paint.
08:34Then, we used to plan.
08:35Ok.
08:35In the morning, we will shoot this side of the room.
08:38In the afternoon, we will get the room ready.
08:40So, like that, there was a lot of sync, I think, in three of us.
08:42In order to, you know, create the film.
08:44And it was, I think, that was what, I think,
08:47I think,
08:50Because there was a lot of planning.
08:52This is my question, right?
08:53Yeah.
08:53I am.
08:54I am.
08:55If you are a multi-star cast,
08:58you are direct sir, sir.
09:00Who is your favourite actor?
09:02In the multi-star cast.
09:07One.
09:08I like everybody's diplomatic answer.
09:11No, no.
09:12See, I will tell you, there is a, there is a,
09:14Who is your most favourite?
09:15Myself.
09:16Person.
09:17Yourself.
09:17Sir,
09:18It's a bit paper.
09:19It's a bit paper.
09:20Bit paper.
09:21No, I think,
09:23Who are you most comfortable directing?
09:26See, there are three different questions in that.
09:28Comfortable,
09:30whose role,
09:31role I liked as a character.
09:33What drove me.
09:34And what moved me as a performer.
09:36There are three categories to it.
09:38Sir, one answer.
09:39No, one answer.
09:39I think most comfortable was,
09:42Almost everybody on set.
09:44Because everybody was friends.
09:45I will tell you, that's the reason.
09:46And then,
09:47Whether it was Naza sir,
09:48Whether it was you,
09:48Whether it was Kishore sir,
09:49All of us had a,
09:51A pre-relationship.
09:52And then,
09:53We already know each other.
09:54As a character,
09:56As a character,
09:56As a character,
09:57As a character,
09:59As a character,
10:11But,
10:12When we were on set,
10:13To see,
10:14Ramanujam's character,
10:15Come alive.
10:17The responsibility,
10:20That is,
10:20Prakashasa's character.
10:21So,
10:22That,
10:22I think,
10:23Drove me as a performer.
10:24Because,
10:24When I used to see him,
10:25Bring out,
10:25Ramanujam's character.
10:26That,
10:27That was a big kick.
10:29Emotional,
10:29What I had in mind,
10:31There were certain episodes,
10:32Which you and sir did.
10:33Yeah.
10:33Like for example,
10:34On the Kanna shot.
10:35Yeah.
10:35Like,
10:35That was a very,
10:36It's very intense.
10:37Like,
10:38It's in my head.
10:39But,
10:39That is a very big task.
10:44Because sometimes,
10:44I told you,
10:46I don't want to tell you,
10:46I don't want to tell you.
10:47Yeah.
10:48But,
10:49To see that,
10:50Come alive.
10:51That episode,
10:52Come alive.
10:52You know,
10:52That particular part,
10:53Come alive.
10:54Again,
10:54It was so moving.
10:55Because,
10:56I was so jealous,
10:56That I wasn't in that episode.
10:58I remember telling you guys that.
11:00You told me about it.
11:01Because,
11:01My story is parallel,
11:02I said,
11:03I was jealous,
11:05As an actor.
11:06Yeah.
11:06Like,
11:07For me to,
11:12Let go of that episode,
11:13Was a big,
11:14Yeah.
11:14Task for me.
11:15To give it to someone else,
11:16To perform it.
11:17But,
11:17At the same time,
11:18That episode,
11:21It brought,
11:22So much life,
11:23Into those characters.
11:25When you were watching it,
11:25It was like,
11:26You know,
11:29I think that was,
11:30That was my three answers,
11:31To the three actors,
11:32That I did.
11:33I understand sir,
11:34Question.
11:34Okay, sir.
11:35So,
11:40No,
11:41Like sir said,
11:42Yeah.
11:42I wanted to tell,
11:43That,
11:45First,
11:46When you asked me,
11:48To play that role,
11:49I would have done it,
11:50Whatever the role was.
11:51Because,
11:52Hey,
11:52For you.
11:53But,
11:54Doing this film,
11:55And doing this role,
11:56If I say,
11:57That I did it for you,
11:58It will be injustice,
11:59To the script.
11:59So,
12:00I am doing this,
12:01Personally,
12:02I am doing it.
12:03Sorry.
12:05Yeah,
12:06In English.
12:07In Tamil.
12:07Yeah,
12:10Too much coffee.
12:11Yeah,
12:12Too much coffee.
12:13So,
12:14It will be injustice to the script.
12:17So,
12:17I love the script also.
12:20Because,
12:20We don't often get such,
12:23Scripts to work on.
12:25Very,
12:25Very,
12:27And,
12:27If you are,
12:28When you are doing,
12:29A script,
12:29Which you,
12:30Believe in.
12:31That actually is,
12:33A higher level of,
12:34Satisfaction.
12:35This is that kind of a script.
12:37And,
12:37That kind of a role.
12:38And,
12:38Thanks to you,
12:39For giving this role.
12:41That's a real thanks.
12:43Usually,
12:44Thanksgiving,
12:45Thanks to you,
12:46Thanks to you,
12:46Thanks to you.
12:48But,
12:49It's actually really,
12:51A really satisfying moment,
12:52To be a part of,
12:54Such a film,
12:54And,
12:55Being in such a role.
12:57It's so,
12:58Emotionally,
12:58So intense.
13:00Usually,
13:00The police,
13:01Correct.
13:03Sir,
13:04No,
13:04No,
13:05No,
13:06No,
13:06Yeah,
13:07But,
13:08Good that we,
13:09Yeah,
13:09We are a police officer,
13:10In a very fair view of that.
13:12So many,
13:13I think.
13:13We both,
13:13I think we've always played,
13:14Only husband and wife.
13:15Two films,
13:16We've done together.
13:17Both films,
13:18Including this.
13:20The pairing,
13:21You know,
13:21On screen,
13:23Something about it sits.
13:25Sometimes,
13:26You don't get that,
13:27With sometimes,
13:27When you have to pair,
13:29Sometimes,
13:30It doesn't sit.
13:31But,
13:31It just sat beautifully.
13:34And really,
13:35Whether it was the height,
13:36Or whether,
13:36Y'all just,
13:37Y'all just come together,
13:38And add so much of,
13:40Value to the screen.
13:40So thank you,
13:42For that.
13:42Thanks.
13:43Actually,
13:43For giving me an opportunity,
13:44To work with her again.
13:45Again.
13:46I know.
13:46Such a fantastic actor.
13:48I usually,
13:49I go around telling that,
13:50I'm not an actor,
13:51I'm just a reactor.
13:53That's actually,
13:53That's right.
13:56And you have a wonderful actor,
13:57In front of you.
13:58Correct.
13:58So easy.
13:59I agree.
14:00To just be there.
14:01Just be the reflection of the actor.
14:04Yeah.
14:04Priyama.
14:04Thanks.
14:05Was there any difficult scene,
14:06That you thought in the film?
14:08Something which,
14:09At one point,
14:12You can do something,
14:14How you portrayed a particular scene?
14:16No.
14:17Difficult,
14:18But,
14:19I would say,
14:21I would say,
14:22I love doing emotional scenes,
14:23It drains you.
14:25Not that.
14:27It gives you,
14:28I love doing emotional scenes.
14:30Because,
14:32You get to,
14:34Explore a side of you.
14:35Explore a different side.
14:37You get to show a different side.
14:38That probably,
14:39You see,
14:41You might react the same way.
14:46Or you might not.
14:47Given the situation,
14:48Obviously.
14:49But,
14:49Especially when it comes to,
14:53Our character arc,
14:54In the film.
14:58How does one react?
15:00In fact.
15:01And,
15:02I would definitely,
15:03Want to say this,
15:04Especially the,
15:05The room,
15:05Yes.
15:06Portion.
15:07I thought the way,
15:08You are conceptualized,
15:11You are conceptualized,
15:14You are conceptualized,
15:15You are conceptualized,
15:16You are conceptualized,
15:17You are conceptualized,
15:17And I think,
15:17That is one plus point.
15:18Because,
15:19That is one plus angle,
15:21Or one plus point,
15:23That is one plus point.
15:24That is one plus point.
15:25Especially with the,
15:26Eye shot,
15:26And the room shot that we,
15:28That you planned.
15:30And,
15:31After that,
15:32the scene with Radhika ma'am also
15:34the way you said
15:36I am
15:37planning it this way so it's like
15:39the character shift that happened
15:42between both of us. Exactly. So
15:43I have a lot of
15:46concept because
15:47everyone has a point
15:50to think about. I said
15:51okay this is something quite interesting
15:53and how can I
15:55bring out the emotional
15:57side of this person
16:00how best I can
16:01bring it forward and how convincing
16:03I can do it Aani. So I hope I have
16:05I have given my best
16:07and I hope people like it. No no I am sure
16:09So these emotional
16:12scenes and see because normal
16:13scenes I am in the same way
16:15but if there are any scenes
16:17it stays with you. That scene
16:19stays with you so you want to
16:21say I am not a bestie
16:23I want to say that this is
16:25how for example
16:27if a personal guy is in a situation
16:29maybe I would react the same way. Maybe I
16:31may react more louder
16:33or this. So I really
16:35like the fact how you
16:36and even with
16:37especially the room scene with Kishore sirs
16:39you know the expressions
16:41and my expressions and
16:42I think that was
16:43it was fabulous and especially
16:45the lighting sir
16:47brilliant and it will add
16:49it adds to the scene
16:50tell me sir
16:53what was your most difficult
16:54shot in the movie
16:57I think it's a seven minute
16:58thing sir
16:59correct
16:59the same
16:59shot is
17:00when we had to plan a lot
17:02we had to do it
17:032-3 times
17:05so we had to practice
17:052-3 times
17:06and then we had to practice
17:06after we had to practice
17:07but the scene
17:09we had to be able to do it
17:09so that the scene
17:10is not the same
17:12but it has to be done
17:12so we had to do it
17:14we had to do it
17:29When I was doing the narration itself, in my mind, I think it was that a courtroom drama, a courtroom
17:35drama, a courtroom drama.
17:37Correct.
17:38So, there is a pattern.
17:40Cut to cut to cut to cut to cut to action.
17:43So, what is a director's touch?
17:48So, my point of view is that I am very influenced by English cinema.
17:53A lot.
17:54Very influenced by it in terms of the making, the creation.
17:56And in recent times, I had watched this series called Adolescence.
18:00And this is the first episode of the single shot.
18:04So, I said, okay, maybe we can't achieve that kind of perfection yet.
18:10Let me say that.
18:11Perfection yet.
18:12But at least in this courtroom, because this is a great revelation point in cinema.
18:18So, I said, if we manage to do it, it will be magic on screen.
18:24So, I said, sir, I want it in a single shot, sir.
18:29I want it in a single shot, sir.
18:30In this courtroom drama, I want it in a single shot.
18:31He said, okay.
18:32And again, all the actors, nobody took prompt.
18:36Oh, wow.
18:37Nobody took prompt.
18:37And I think it was only Edwin, I was sitting behind with Edwin, sir, under the crane just to tell
18:42him who to pan to because I knew the dialogues.
18:45And he caught it flawlessly.
18:49And the actors also performed it flawlessly.
18:50It was, I think, maximum four to five takes because of certain, like, sometimes, like, one could take, what you
18:55see, Prakash had inverted a dialogue.
18:58So, when I was reading through the paper, I assumed that that was the end dialogue.
19:02And I turned, the last minute.
19:03Right.
19:03So, he was very gracious to do it again.
19:05You know, the whole thing.
19:06Then, one time, somebody else fumbled.
19:08Then, it was Steadicam opera.
19:09But, what is it?
19:10What is it?
19:10What is it?
19:12What the, what the, I think, the exciting part was the fact that, if you choose one shot, it will
19:18be single shot.
19:19Yes, it will be.
19:20So, that was the, I think, the magic, the success of the shot.
19:24But, that was correct.
19:26Yes.
19:27You rehearsed it with the.
19:28In the morning, we rehearsed it.
19:30Because, who was happy?
19:31Because, actually.
19:31The morning, we rehearsed it with Steadicam.
19:33With Steadicam.
19:33Oh, okay.
19:34But, somehow, it didn't work.
19:36Yeah.
19:37So, again, we did it with the crane.
19:39With normal crane.
19:40But, we did it.
19:40That's the custom, sir.
19:42Crane, get everybody with you.
19:44No, no, no.
19:44Crane department.
19:45Fabulous.
19:46Fabulous.
19:47And, that was the main thing, because, in a single shot, somewhere, you lose focus.
19:52Yeah.
19:52It's fine.
19:53It's fine.
19:54Even for your shots, when we were trying to get the close, eye shots also, you can't.
19:58Okay, intense scene, you can't keep on performing.
20:00Okay.
20:02So, I think, because I was an actor, and this, I was able to understand both sides of the problems
20:09that we can face.
20:11Yeah.
20:11So, that shot, particularly, was.
20:12No.
20:13You can't show the shots.
20:15Yes.
20:16You can show the crew.
20:17Yes.
20:17You can show the shots.
20:20You can show the shots.
20:21You can show the shots.
20:22You can show the shots.
20:23But, in the shots, you can show the crew.
20:25How sweet.
20:25That's the first time in my life.
20:27Well, I think that is superb.
20:29It was a very interesting shot.
20:30No, because it is difficult, and to pull it off, fabulous.
20:34In fact, I wanted to do all the courtroom scenes with a single shot.
20:37Single shot.
20:38But then, we said, some things required a little more drama.
20:41Right.
20:41Like, for example, a climax.
20:42A little more drama to it.
20:44So, I said, okay, maybe not everything, but this, for sure, we can.
20:47All the actors, whether it is Prakashat sir, Radhika ma'am, Shaptigiri sir, Rao Ramesh sir, Srikantar, all of them
20:52had massive lines.
20:53There were a lot of intense lines.
20:56So, there were a lot of intense lines.
20:56So, there were a lot of lines from each one.
20:59And, they all did it very, you know, flawlessly.
21:02And, there was a great episode.
21:05In this episode, there was a performance in Red Room.
21:07Yeah.
21:08Whether it was your performance or yours.
21:10When we saw it on screen, our hearts melted.
21:14And, we went into that scene.
21:16It wasn't.
21:16Like, what I had thought.
21:18Because, that was very important.
21:22Because, when the story is going into that scene,
21:24one is going in an action-based, one is going in an emotion-based.
21:28You have to take both equally.
21:30And, if the balance doesn't happen,
21:32then, you are not able to pull off a good script.
21:34And, I think, when you were able to pull off a good script.
21:37It was so nice to watch that thing.
21:41And, to direct.
21:41When I got to direct you guys, I think it was just absolutely fantastic.
21:46So, thank you.
21:47Yeah.
21:47So, what was the most difficult?
21:50What was the most difficult?
21:51No.
21:51It was a little bit of a pain.
21:52Okay.
21:52What was the most difficult part of the sets that you fought?
21:56Or, which was the best?
21:58What was the best set that you fought?
21:59The set up that's done.
22:01Just tell me.
22:02I like the main code drama portion.
22:06And, apart from that, the difficult part was...
22:08A bit more.
22:10A bit more.
22:12A bit more.
22:13A bit more.
22:14A bit more.
22:14A bit more.
22:16Apart from that, the difficult part was...
22:21I thought it was going to kill me
22:22Okay then, the different part was
22:27When Premani ma'am's schedule started
22:29Yes
22:29It was running
22:31What was running?
22:32When your schedule started
22:33There would be multiple things at the same time
22:35Right
22:36Go to school
22:37Lawyer would be
22:39Lawyer would be
22:39Yes
22:40And that whole schedule of you was
22:42Whole chaotic
22:44Because at the end of the day,
22:46My house location is very far
22:47So we did not
22:48And I was very stubborn on the house
22:51That was a beautiful house
22:53But at the end of the day
22:54What happened was
22:55When we planned it the first few times
22:56It all got interchanged
22:57Because there was some election happening
22:58Then they didn't give the house
23:00There was some drama that happened
23:01But they wanted to change the location
23:03I said no we can't
23:04We will interchange the thing
23:05But I want that location
23:07So planning that location
23:08Getting the house was nice
23:09So I have a question for Priyamani Garu
23:11So
23:13Did you ever feel well?
23:14First time you are calling me Priyamani Garu
23:16How did you say that?
23:17How did you say that?
23:19How did you say that?
23:19That is for the question
23:20That is for the question
23:21That is for the question
23:22I'm sorry
23:22The way I got used to sir sir sir sir
23:25Kishore sir
23:26Whenever I introduce myself to someone else also
23:28I say Kishore sir
23:29Hi I am Kishore sir
23:31I am Kishore sir
23:32Sorry
23:33Sorry
23:33Did you ever feel like directing a film?
23:39Interesting question
23:40I do have an interest sir
23:44I do have an interest sir
23:46There is a lot of interest in the direction
23:49But again that requires a lot of focus attention
23:54And lot of prep and everything
23:56Which I am probably I will
23:58Eventually get there
23:59Eventually get there
24:00So yes sir
24:01There is interest there
24:03So let's see
24:04Fingers crossed
24:06We will be looking forward to it
24:09You are watching Varu directing
24:11Yes
24:11Okay
24:13Are you thinking
24:14It's very tough
24:15To be a director
24:16Or easy?
24:17Sir
24:18If I have to be really honest
24:20I feel
24:20Being a director is the toughest job
24:23Sure
24:24You have to handle the whole unit
24:26You have to handle all the artists
24:27And everything
24:29But Bar Lakshmin chose in Tarvata
24:31With the ease
24:32That she has handled everything
24:34I know
24:34It's not as easy as it looks
24:36But
24:37It seemed as a breeze
24:42It seemed quite easy
24:43But I think I can also
24:46Somewhere pull it off
24:48I can
24:48If I
24:49Definitely I am sure
24:50If I put my mind into it
24:51I will definitely do it
24:52I agree
24:53Conviction with which she did it
24:56Consistently doing something like that
24:57Yeah
24:58Definitely
24:58See
24:59You can do it
25:00Direct
25:01Set
25:02Act
25:04Anything you do
25:04Even if it is a normal
25:069 to 5 job also
25:07Sir
25:07If you love
25:08If you have that passion
25:09With what you do
25:10I think everything else
25:11Everything will fall into place
25:13All the best
25:13Thank you sir
25:14Sir
25:15Recommendation
25:16No
25:16All the best
25:19Edwin sir
25:19Me took a question
25:21Generally
25:23With the experience of
25:25I might
25:26If I can add
25:27With the experience of
25:27These many films
25:28That I have done
25:30General
25:30A director
25:31A DOP
25:34Throughout the project
25:36There will be a clash
25:40And it is normal
25:41Because
25:42Obviously you have your point of view
25:43And you know
25:44Director has their point of view
25:45Creative differences
25:47Throughout the film
25:49There will be creative clashes
25:53Disagreements
25:55And if yes
25:56How did you guys solve it?
25:58First of all
25:59Did you solve it?
25:59No
26:00No
26:01Discussions
26:02We will discuss
26:03Maybe in our 15 days
26:05We had about
26:06So we discussed a lot
26:17Clarity
26:18That's why we have about
26:19That's why we have about
26:19The whole film
26:20And we have about
26:23The whole film
26:24And we have about
26:28So that
26:31Clarity
26:31We have about
26:32So I could tell
26:32I don't know
26:33That's why
26:34I don't know
26:35That's why
26:38when we were doing the school thing,
26:40I remember sometimes Varu asking you,
26:43I mean, sir, if you want this extra short time,
26:47you used to say no, you don't have to do it or vice versa.
26:49I have seen this, so that's why I'm asking
26:52because maybe, for example,
26:54like the emotional scene what we did,
26:57do we need, will it add an extra,
27:03you know, extra point to the thing?
27:06No, no, no, no, no, I got it,
27:08I got it with you.
27:09to get the short and get it extra,
27:12I guess you can take it from there.
27:14This is a question for you,
27:16maybe if you make it coming up with him,
27:16make sure I want it.
27:18Then I say, okay, okay,
27:19sir, you can take it.
27:21I am not going to show you,
27:22if you don't get it,
27:23ask yourself and say that,
27:24I think you do not have to say that,
27:25or you don't have to do that,
27:26you don't have to work out emotionally,
27:28and then the acceptances,
27:30where did you decide?
27:31Right.
27:32I think it was very,
27:33also, like,
27:33I will tell you what I will tell you about the gender, even I have worked in a couple of
27:39films where automatically you tend to
27:42It's not negative but we will have a discussion.
27:46At the end of the day, both of us were in sync. Because I think we discussed so much as
27:52a team, all of us were in sync.
27:54Naresh with the co-director and our online editor.
28:00Every one of the co-directors chose the same thing.
28:05But I said no, I want everybody to know everything. So everybody heard the narration.
28:09The first thing that said to the office was to see the narration.
28:15Understand what is happening. I don't want any confusion.
28:18Including the short?
28:19Including whatever I wanted. I had narrated. Short by short, I had narrated.
28:23So they are the first two.
28:25With Edwin sir and me, it was very easy because we used to go before.
28:28Many of us went to the location.
28:30All the choreographs were made.
28:32We used to get the phone to get the shot.
28:36So there was never a discussion.
28:38And also it was very very easy because I had told him, I remember in the beginning of the film,
28:43I said,
28:45Sir, forgive me. Sometimes I will ask for some mental shots.
28:49But if you do the mental shots, I am telling you, you will get the best name.
28:53And he did that. He delivered.
28:54Yeah. Because I had asked him for such difficult shots with, there was certain like,
28:59You will get a revolving shot.
29:01That's why we planned it.
29:04But we had technical difficulty.
29:06Sorry.
29:06Technical difficulty was because the ceiling was low.
29:09Very low.
29:10But we had to do a rotation shot.
29:13That was the main title shot.
29:15So what he managed it.
29:17I did like this one and everybody says that,
29:18Because his name is sad sad sad sad sad sad , so I keep irritating him throat the thing, but
29:24he never once said no.
29:27If he has this shot he said no.
29:29That was the, I think, beauty of the whole thing.
29:32So that, I think, went on very, very easily.
29:35Because I think I had that and the cooperation of the actors.
29:39The one thing is, it went absolutely flawless.
29:44I was just, in fact, having a conversation and saying that
29:46what happened was actually there was no fights.
29:50Did it happen with the actors?
29:52Because this is my person, the person person actually.
29:55Being an actor, how did you feel?
29:57Because just like the technicians,
30:00we come with our own versions of the character.
30:02Being an actor, when you script itself,
30:05when you write the script itself,
30:06you would have imagined you would have performed all those roles.
30:09So definitely there will be a difference between your performance
30:11and our performance, whatever we do.
30:13So we come with our own baggages and all those things.
30:16So it is a very tough thing to accept what we are giving.
30:19So how was that? How interesting was it and how tough was it?
30:22I always tell Edwin sir,
30:24this is my choreography.
30:27If you are an actor, you can do it.
30:30If you are an actor, you can do it.
30:32This is what I should keep telling you.
30:34How about you?
30:35Me?
30:36Yeah, how did you see that?
30:37No, but that's what I think.
30:39I was very open to the fact of what my particular cast of actors bought.
30:44Let me not put it in a very wide way.
30:46It's just that the quality of actors that I chose,
30:49I knew what they will bring to the set, right?
30:53Like for example, like a very small thing.
30:55With her, it was very simple.
30:57What do you want to do?
30:57If you want to make a meter, you want to make a meter, you want to make a meter.
30:59You want to make a game.
31:01So she was able to deliver what I wanted without any conversation.
31:05With you also, I used to give you the meter, you used to pick it up.
31:08Prakash Vetsa has, we don't have to tell him anything.
31:11He's just, I think he's an OG in terms of his performances.
31:14I'm just talking about his craft.
31:16He's just, he's a phenomenal actor.
31:18So, and even with Prakash Vetsa, I said,
31:20Sir, if you want to say something, if you want to say something,
31:21you can say something.
31:23He used to never fuss about it.
31:25He never once said, this is not possible.
31:28He was never fussing.
31:29We discussed it.
31:29Yes.
31:30We both discussed it.
31:33We discussed it.
31:34It's okay.
31:35It's okay.
31:37He used to say.
31:38If you want to talk about it,
31:39one more issue.
31:41Yeah.
31:41So that was very easy.
31:43I think also all the actors, because nobody made a fuss.
31:45And I think everybody helped and contributed to our well-being of the whole film.
31:50So that I think I got.
31:52Your clarity, I think, helped us a lot.
31:54Yeah.
31:54You deliver whatever we did.
31:56You were very clear how much was required, what was required.
32:00That was very nice, actually.
32:02On that note,
32:03since the producer is not giving us any more time.
32:06Thank you for watching us on Saraswati.org.
32:16I will see you in the next.
32:17Bye.
32:18Bye.
32:18Bye.
