00:00I just gotta give this to her real quick, thanks for so much, appreciate that.
00:04At least do it under the table, it's not subtle at all.
00:06I was supposed to do it after, wasn't I? Sorry.
00:22You said that you left a part of your soul in this TV show, I want to know which part.
00:28It's a horcrux, this show. You splintered off part of your soul.
00:33It took a part of me. I did. It was a lot of work.
00:42And I'm not someone who's afraid of hard work, but it was a trying time.
00:46It was during COVID. Everyone was away from their families for a really long duration.
00:51It was a physically challenging show, emotionally challenging show, complex character,
00:57even more complex world.
00:59And I feel like this show will always be very monumental in my career,
01:06whatever happens going forward.
01:07It'll be like pre-Citadel, after Citadel.
01:11And that's why I feel like, you know, I've had a few monumental movies
01:16and things that have contributed to the trajectory of my life.
01:21And whatever happens to the show, I think I gave in that much to it.
01:26If you don't mind, I just want to stop the interview for a second
01:28and say something to the audience out there.
01:30please watch this show because Priyanka has given a part of herself
01:37that could never be returned to her, never be returned.
01:41So please watch this.
01:43I love the Bray Studios.
01:46Amazing.
01:47And I love how the character of this TV show reminded me Matrix character.
01:52Priyanka clearly is Trinity.
01:55Richard is Neo.
01:57Stanley is Morpheus.
01:59So who are you?
02:00The architect or the Oracle?
02:02I would be the architect.
02:04Is the architect the villain?
02:05Is that the...
02:06Yes.
02:07I'm the architect.
02:09Yes.
02:09Joe always wants to be the villain.
02:11It's more fun.
02:12It's more fun.
02:13I know, they're the best.
02:14Less rules.
02:15I'm from Italy and I really adore that at the beginning of the second episode,
02:20there's a Nilla Pizzi song.
02:22I want to know why you choose that song and if you knew...
02:27It's the tone of the show.
02:28I mean, it's really like the, you know, she is in a cabin in the woods in Italy,
02:35in the mountains.
02:37And we felt like that would be a song he might have playing on his radio.
02:41But it also sets the tone for the scene really well.
02:45And, you know, counterbalances the violence in a really...
02:49Or underscores the violence in a really interesting way.
02:52But you guys do that so well.
02:53Like the scoring of the show is just amazing from the beginning.
02:57And everything is like turned on its head.
03:01So what you're expecting is not what the music will be.
03:03The music will always be the opposite of what the propulsive nature of the...
03:07It's just so cool and different and very...
03:10It's a signature of yours that I think is amazing.
03:13Thank you.
03:13It's amazing because she's a pioneer.
03:15Yeah.
03:16She's the first winner of Sanremo Festival.
03:18Yeah.
03:18I just gotta give this to her real quick.
03:20Thanks for so much.
03:21I appreciate that.
03:22At least do it under the table.
03:23I was supposed to do it.
03:23It's not subtle at all.
03:25I was supposed to do it after, wasn't I?
03:26Sorry.
03:27Yeah.
03:27Yeah.
03:28She's the first winner of Sanremo Festival.
03:30Wow.
03:30Yeah.
03:31And I think that your character is a pioneer too.
03:34Because I love the fact that she's the one who remembers everything.
03:37maybe 20 years ago the male character was the one who had the custody of memories.
03:45Do you believe that it's important that a woman here is the one who remembers and maybe can do better?
03:55Or what?
03:56Has her skill set.
03:58Yeah.
03:58Yeah.
03:58Yes.
03:58I think that's amazing.
04:00And I think that that's what is also credit to the show and to the, you know, to the makers
04:06who made it.
04:06That was always the idea.
04:08When Jen met me five years ago and talked to me about the show, that's literally what she said.
04:14She said, I want a spy duo that, you know, relies on each other and is super international and the
04:21show connects different countries.
04:22But it was always this duo.
04:24And to me, if I think about the genre, or you can tell me if you know any, but the
04:29genre of, you know, the spy world is very dominated by guys.
04:35The girls like there are a few women I can think of Charlize Theron, maybe Angelina Jolie, few that I
04:41can think of that have, you know, made a dent, but not characters.
04:45So it was, I think it's very cool that, you know, this is happening now and we're being able to
04:50see more female characters that have agency in the story.
04:54And if not just agency, but actually, you know, maybe taking the story forward and in the physical nature and
05:00like in this series.
05:01So hopefully like we see so much more of that and, you know, having allies in the industry that are
05:07now realizing that female characters can pull off complex roles and audiences that are wanting to see it is going
05:14to change that for us.
05:15Steli Tucci says to Richard Martin's character that spy, don't smile, spies don't smile. Why? Why in your opinion?
05:23Because they get killed if they smile, right? You can't have fun as a spy.
05:28No, I can't. You don't have any fun.
05:30Nadia doesn't even have a sense of humor. It's a poor thing. She doesn't even know what joke is.
05:35Wait, she doesn't? Not yet.
05:36Did you say you met with Jen Sulky five years ago?
05:39Yeah. Can you imagine?
05:40Has it been five years?
05:41Yes, sir.
05:43Five years? Oh, man.
05:44It's been a while.
05:45It's so long.
05:46It's crazy.
05:47Finally, we just locked the last episode on Friday, like literally just locked it.
05:52I'm still doing ADR for the Hindi version.
05:55Are you really?
05:56Oh, boy.
05:57I just finished three episodes.
05:58Speaking about villains, they say that the greater the villain, the better the story.
06:05And you know villains very well.
06:07Yeah, that's right.
06:07Can we say that the villain here is the pest?
06:10Because each character has to fight.
06:12100%.
06:13You're absolutely right.
06:15I mean, what was so compelling about the original pitch for the show was that you have this science fiction
06:23concept that these agents have a chip planted in their brain that is to protect the agency.
06:29So if anything cataclysmic were to ever happen, someone could press a button and wipe all the secrets out of
06:35their head by erasing their memories.
06:36And so what's really interesting about the show is that both Priyanka and Richard are playing characters whose memories are
06:43erased and then build new lives, new identities with no recollection of the past.
06:50And then when the sins of the past come calling, can they preserve who they've become?
06:58So, yes, you're absolutely right that I think that the past is the villain in the show.
07:04Thank you so much.
