00:00Pura was our main theme. It was new to us.
00:12When people heard about it, they were like, how can they do this with a Pura?
00:15Actually, I have done very little in the film.
00:19That life is very wide and broad.
00:22It is very important for the film to become unique.
00:34It is the same with the films.
00:36Each film takes place in its own place.
00:39I think that's how cinema is.
00:41That's why we do it that way.
00:43In my opinion, when we see a real film,
00:53no matter how close we are to the audience,
00:59it is very close to the people.
01:04When I say that I ate there yesterday,
01:15and when I say that I want to eat there tomorrow,
01:17that shop is there.
01:19That's how our film is.
01:35Hello to all the viewers of One India Tamil.
01:38I am Ranjith Kannan.
01:402024 is a very important year for Tamil cinema.
01:44Because this year, a lot of famous directors have been created.
01:48Not only that, the films they have made
01:50have also received praise from the people.
01:52We are going to talk to some of the important directors
01:54who have received such praise.
01:56Michael K. Raja, director of Pohumidam Vegaduramalai,
01:59Jayakumar, director of Blue Star,
02:02Suresh Marri, director of JBB,
02:04and John Gladdy, director of Bairi.
02:06We are going to ask them about their films
02:08and how Tamil cinema has been this year.
02:10Hello to all four of you.
02:12How are you?
02:14I'm good.
02:16Thank you for joining us.
02:18You all seem to be in a good mood.
02:20I think you're having fun.
02:22We'll come back to that.
02:24I'll ask you the first question.
02:26How do you think 2024 will be compared to last year?
02:31For Tamil cinema.
02:35I think it's an important year for the future.
02:41A lot of small budget films have found a good place.
02:45Smaller films have found a good space.
02:49They have reached a lot of people.
02:51I think I can say this about 10 films in 2024.
02:56They have been watched by the public.
03:00Even if not in theatres, they have reached a lot of people.
03:06I think it's going to be a happy year.
03:14I can see that.
03:16We can take big budget films this year.
03:21But we can also see films made by small budget films.
03:25But we can also see films made by big budget films.
03:29The audience appreciates the content you give.
03:33Can we say that the audience has changed?
03:35I can't say that.
03:37The audience expects a different kind of content.
03:41I think the audience likes small budget films.
03:48Big budget films are mostly mass-based.
03:54There's a lot of action, commercial...
03:58They might get bored of it.
04:01I think they might like small budget films because they are unique.
04:08All four of you have made films based on your experiences.
04:12You make films based on your experiences.
04:16What are the pros and cons of making films based on your experiences?
04:20The pros are...
04:22The story, the characters, the worldview...
04:26Everything is registered.
04:28We know it well.
04:30It's easy for us.
04:32It was easy for us to handle.
04:34But for Bairi...
04:36The problem was...
04:38The culture, the slang, the worldview...
04:43Since it was new to them...
04:48The slang that we use...
04:52The slang that we use at home...
04:56It's an old slang.
04:58But when you see it in cinemas...
05:02We only know it when we get a preview.
05:06Only when we get a preview, it becomes negative.
05:10Everyone talks about it.
05:14So, it's like this...
05:18When you see it in cinemas...
05:22When the audience gets to know it...
05:26I think it will be easier.
05:30So, it's a minus.
05:32The worldview was our main theme.
05:36It was new to us.
05:38When the audience gets to know it...
05:42It's hard to connect with them.
05:46I've heard a lot of people say...
05:50How can they do this to us?
05:52I've only recorded a small part of it.
05:56It's a very wide and broad life.
06:00So, when it's new to the audience...
06:04I felt that it was a problem.
06:08What about you?
06:10Chennai's life...
06:14Tamil Nadu already knows it.
06:18I've lived it a lot.
06:20Since it's close to Chennai...
06:22I don't have that slang.
06:24So, it was easier for me to get into it.
06:28There was cricket in it.
06:30It's a unique game that's played everywhere.
06:34It was easy for them to connect with it.
06:38They said they didn't understand certain things.
06:42I didn't understand certain things.
06:46Since it's far from Chennai...
06:48The sounds are different.
06:50It's almost like Madras slang.
06:52But there are small variations in the sound.
06:56They asked me if I could speak like that.
07:00I said yes.
07:02But it was okay for me.
07:04But the actors had to get used to it.
07:06Yes, the actors had to get used to it.
07:08They couldn't speak.
07:10They couldn't get used to it.
07:12They couldn't even say it was a slang.
07:14They struggled to say it.
07:16That's the important aspect of a street film.
07:20It's a wide life.
07:22It's important for the film to become unique.
07:28It's the same with films.
07:30Films take place in different places.
07:32I think that's how cinema is.
07:34That's what I meant.
07:36It's the same thing.
07:38It's not easy to take a person from an actor.
07:44We know 100% about them.
07:46We know everything about them.
07:48It's not easy to take a person from them.
07:52If we do that, it will be new to the audience.
07:56It will be new to the people in our lives.
08:00It will be in his film, Blue Star.
08:02It will be in his film, Samy.
08:06If you go beyond Tirunelveli, you have to call your wife 80.
08:14I don't know 80.
08:16I don't know 80.
08:18In my family, we call our sisters 80.
08:20But in Madurai, you have to call only your wife 80.
08:26One day, my wife was in Madurai.
08:28She went to Srivilliputtu.
08:30She called my wife 80.
08:34I asked her why she was calling her 80.
08:38She said, if it's not my wife, it's my daughter-in-law.
08:42I asked her why she was calling her 80.
08:44She said, it's not right.
08:46I asked her why she was calling her 80.
08:48She said, it's not right.
08:50I think that's why she asked you that question.
08:52When you do something close to reality,
08:54when you bring it to cinema,
08:56some things will be awkward,
08:58some things will be close.
09:00I think that's a good thing.
09:02You are the senior actor in the film.
09:08You trained Urvashi to play the character.
09:10You must have done a lot for that.
09:12It's a big challenge to observe real characters.
09:22It's even more challenging to tell the actor what we observed and bring it to the screen.
09:28An experienced actor like Urvashi handles it very easily.
09:34I think that when we bring a real film to the screen,
09:42we bring it very close to the audience.
09:52That's how I see it.
09:54It's a plus.
09:56It's a minus.
09:58After releasing a small film,
10:00I see all the problems as a minus.
10:04I think you've given the lead.
10:06I think we can talk about that.
10:08This year, a lot of small films have reached the audience only after OTT.
10:12Do you still struggle to get a theater?
10:14Even if you give good content.
10:16It's a big challenge to get theaters and screens for small films.
10:24OTT doesn't support small films either.
10:28It doesn't matter which good film we get.
10:34Whether it's a 12-hour show in the afternoon or a 10.30-hour show at night,
10:40it doesn't matter.
10:42It doesn't matter what kind of film it is.
10:44In a theater, it's important to have a 6.30-hour show in the evening.
10:52That's when the audience comes in.
10:56We don't get screenings at that time.
10:58That's what's important.
11:00If it's a big film,
11:02or if it's a film from another state,
11:08it's up to the theater to decide.
11:12It's difficult for small films.
11:14Other states' films have reached the audience more this year.
11:20I think it's because of him.
11:22Manjumath Bhai's film was released when Raksha Bhairi's film was released.
11:26His film didn't get a theater.
11:28My film was released before that.
11:30Both of them were affected by that.
11:36How did you feel about that?
11:38How did you feel about not being able to bring your film into the audience?
11:44We only have a short period of time.
11:46We can't make a film in January.
11:48We can't make a film in January.
11:50We can't make a film in festivals.
11:52We can only make a film in February or June.
11:54That's a reserved time.
11:56It's a time when everyone is busy.
11:58That's when we can be free.
12:00That's our slot.
12:02Today, there's a lot of pressure from the people.
12:12I've all seen all their films.
12:14I saw Anna was bringing his film to the theater first.
12:16I saw the film with applause.
12:18It's a great movie.
12:20I saw the film with applause.
12:22I saw the film with applause.
12:24It's a great movie.
12:26It's a great movie.
12:28I saw the film with applause.
12:30I used to watch Annam's films with my father.
12:32I used to watch all the other films in OTT.
12:35So, what I wanted to see was...
12:38I don't know if I can say this now.
12:41So, what I wanted to see was...
12:43Annam's films...
12:45J.Y.P.R.
12:47Pookumarai Moithudhooram...
12:49After I finished watching Annam's films...
12:53Now, everyone is telling me...
12:55So, I wanted to see Annam's films in theatres.
12:58The main reason is...
13:00Personally, this year's films...
13:02J.Y.P.R.
13:03Pookumarai Moithudhooram...
13:05Meiyazhagan...
13:07Jammu...
13:09These are all films that are not celebrated in theatres.
13:13But, what I wanted to see was...
13:16Those small films...
13:18Those films that are seen by the people of today's cinema...
13:22Those films that are seen by the people of today's cinema...
13:25That is, those films that are seen by the people of today's cinema...
13:29I wanted to see those films.
13:31That is the thought I had...
13:33I wanted to see those films that are seen by the people of today's cinema...
13:37But, there were no such film theatres.
13:39So, when I came to Manjitnepuram...
13:42I had already recorded a film about my own experience.
13:46I wanted to see those films, so I talked to my relatives.
13:50They said that they wanted to see it.
13:53On the first day, they told me that the film would run for 25 days and that it would be in our country for 25 days and that the film would be good.
14:01When Manjunath Mall Boys came, we didn't expect that much.
14:06When they told me that the film would run this week, they called me and told me that they had already shot the film.
14:16When they told me that the film would run, I didn't say anything and replaced Manjunath Mall Boys.
14:23I didn't talk about the films that would run in foreign countries.
14:28But all the films were good.
14:31I don't think there is any recognition now.
14:33I think only Annam film has got recognition.
14:35There is a lot of blue star.
14:37The rest of the films are wonderful films.
14:39I have seen many films like Jay Baby, Pogumudam, Vaithurayam, etc.
14:46But I don't think that the films that are based on truth and honesty are well received by the public.
14:55Annam, Pogumudam, etc. are films that are based on truth and honesty.
15:05A man who saves someone in Calcutta.
15:08A lover who comes to a place where no one knows.
15:11I am getting down.
15:13There is a saying that if you advise a film that is based on truth and honesty, it is a boomer.
15:20I don't know if they celebrate that.
15:22Wonderful films are the ones that are recognized today.
15:24The problem with OTT is that the audience is satisfied with a good film.
15:32But on the other hand, it becomes a failure for the business and the technicians.
15:37Even if you watch a wonderful film, you enjoy it.
15:42OTT is not a good business.
15:49If you want to do an OTT business, you should go to a theatre.
15:53You should get an OTT prize at the theatre.
15:58If you get an OTT prize, you can share your film with the audience.
16:04Even if we get an OTT prize, the film will be based on the success of the film.
16:14The next film will be based on the success of the film.
16:17It will completely affect the film.
16:19I don't know how many people have committed to OTT.
16:21A film that is based on truth and honesty is Jammu, Pogumudu Maguthum Varam Nillai, J Baby and Meiyazhagan.
16:38If we don't have a mass value in the theatre, even if Meiyazhagan is a hero, it is not accepted.
16:51I don't know if it is because of the people's thoughts or because it is a foreign film.
16:57I don't know if it is because of the people's thoughts or because it is a foreign film.
17:04There are a lot of senior technicians in the film industry.
17:09They don't give the same respect to foreign films as they do to our films.
17:17They don't give the same respect to foreign films as they do to our films.
17:23That becomes a big boon for the film.
17:25That becomes a big boon for the film.
17:27Even if we get a small help like that...
17:32For example, if a new person comes and asks for a good film...
17:36It is not a bad film, but it conveys a message.
17:38It is not a bad film, but it conveys a message.
17:40If a film is being shot, it could be any film...
17:47If a film is being shot, it could be any film...
17:52If you encourage it, it is a supportive thing.
17:57I used to come to JBAB for a preview show and a celebrity show.
18:04Through Urvashi Amma, we called a lot of senior actors.
18:09We tried everything and called them.
18:11But only four people came.
18:14No one came.
18:16They said they would come over the phone.
18:19But when we took the screen, spent money and everything,
18:24no one would come.
18:26I don't think there are people in the industry who can support them.
18:36If there are, it would be very healthy.
18:39Do they talk to you after the film is released?
18:42That's what happens.
18:44After watching it in OTT, they call me and tell me to watch it in a theatre.
18:49A lot of actors come and talk to me.
18:52It's a bit sad.
18:54They don't even support us when we need them.
18:58It's just a matter of time.
19:00You're right.
19:02A lot of people called me over the phone and told me it was great.
19:06But I haven't written anything yet.
19:09It's good to write good movies.
19:14But I had that problem.
19:16A lot of people talked to me over the phone, but they didn't tweet anything.
19:20There would have been other chances for me to change.
19:25The audience is very important.
19:30I thought about the audience.
19:33I didn't want to expect anything from them.
19:38I couldn't tweet because they talked to me over the phone.
19:43I couldn't understand why they did that.
19:46They talk to you over the phone, right?
19:48If they had watched the first episode, the movie would have been a hit.
19:51Even if they had talked to me over the phone, I wouldn't have tweeted.
20:01It's a good thing I didn't tweet.
20:03It went well in the theatre.
20:06But I don't know if they support it.
20:11I don't know if it's preventing anything.
20:15I don't know.
20:17I don't know.
20:19It's not a business.
20:21It's not a healthy cinema.
20:28It's about friendship.
20:32If you have a big industry, you can attract people.
20:40It happened to me as well.
20:42I don't know any of the actors.
20:46But the movie released was Shakthi Villains.
20:49When they saw the movie, they wanted to do it.
20:57They tried their best.
21:02They sent the movie to them.
21:06They screened it separately.
21:08They called me for the preview show.
21:11These movies are still being talked about.
21:22But some of the movies don't have friendship.
21:27They don't need Shakthi Villains.
21:31These movies are budget-friendly.
21:36They are quality movies.
21:43They are quality movies.
21:48They are not quality movies.
21:50But I tried my best.
21:58It's not about the audience.
22:05The market has changed.
22:07I have doubts about big movies.
22:12If you have a backing, you can make a movie.
22:24Only if someone makes a movie, it will reach the audience.
22:27If they take time to watch good movies, no one will do it.
22:34If it's a big movie, you can watch it in a theater.
22:36If it's a small movie, you can watch it in a movie theater.
22:38People have changed.
22:40People have changed.
22:42The situation has changed.
22:48If there's a shop with a few new guys in the middle, people will go to Adyar Ananthapavan and Saravananpavan.
23:03If someone goes to a shop and says he ate there yesterday, the shop won't be there.
23:18That's the problem.
23:20If someone goes to a shop and says it's a good movie, the shop won't be there.
23:27I knew about his movie before.
23:37I liked the trailer.
23:39I wanted to watch the movie.
23:41I kept it on my watch list.
23:43I wanted to watch it tomorrow.
23:45There was a problem with the shows.
23:47Only a few people gave it to me.
23:49I wanted to connect it.
23:51I watched the movie in OTT.
23:53I wanted to connect it.
23:55I watched the movie in OTT.
23:59I watched the movie in the theater.
24:01I watched the preview.
24:03I watched a lot of Annam's movies in the theater.
24:05I worked on it.
24:07I watched a lot of it.
24:09Two movies were released in a year.
24:11I went to the theater to see how many tickets were sold.
24:13I experienced two movies.
24:15It was a good experience.
24:17I went to the theater to see how many tickets were sold.
24:19I experienced two movies.
24:21It was a good experience.
24:29The problem with advertising...
24:31We have to say that we are Saravana Bhavan.
24:33That was a problem.
24:35It was a problem in the beginning.
24:37It's a problem now.
24:39There's a lack of advertising.
24:45If you add to it, people will come.
24:47If you add to it, people will come.
24:49Voice talk will create a thing.
24:51Voice talk will create a thing.
24:53People will talk to you and you will get a tweet.
24:55People will talk to you and you will get a tweet.
24:57We need to focus on the advertisement.
24:59We need to focus on the advertisement.
25:01We should not do too much...
25:03No, that's correct
25:05Okay, but advertising is a very typical thing
25:11It's a continuous process
25:13Posters, bus backs, hoardings and such things
25:18Then YouTube channels, interviews, Instagram, influencers
25:24It's a regular pattern
25:26Whatever we do for a small budget film, we do it properly
25:30But beyond all this, we need something big
25:34Whether it's a big actor, a big politician or someone else
25:40If they tweet or talk about the film
25:44Then everyone will want to see the film
25:51In our film industry, the worst scenario is
25:56When we have a budget for advertising
25:59What we need is
26:01Everyone is going, everyone is running
26:03Everyone is running like a horse
26:05We go to YouTubers
26:09Especially for promotion
26:12We go to Instagram influencers
26:14If we do it with them, it will be great
26:16We will get a lot of reach
26:18They have 10 million, 8 million, 7 million followers
26:20We go and support them
26:23What they say is
26:25The bus doesn't have a date
26:27They don't get a date
26:29Then they say a big amount
26:31In our film, it's a small budget
26:36When we go and ask for 3, 4, 5, 7 lakhs
26:40We don't have a date
26:42Then they make us talk without a date
26:47I get very angry
26:51When we tell our story to the producer
26:54We go to the artist
26:56We go to a live location
26:58We take a film
27:00We do a lot of work
27:02We bring the film to the screen
27:04Before we take it to the theater
27:06We go and stand in front of everyone
27:08Will we get a promotion?
27:12Will we get a boost?
27:14It's very cruel
27:16In the end, we don't go to them
27:18The film gets a lot of reach
27:20People celebrate it
27:22There's no need to go to them
27:24A good film gets a lot of success in the mouth-to-mouth market
27:29I think the same is true for Rubber Pant
27:32People liked it and celebrated it
27:34But it lost a lot of reach
27:36It didn't happen because of anyone
27:38Advertisement is very important
27:40That's what I think
27:42It's good to say that it's good
27:47When you advertise, it keeps boosting
27:52If we stop at one place
27:54What happened in Rubber Pant...
27:56After a week, it boosted again
27:58If you advertise...
28:00It's very important
28:02The reason why he got a good opening
28:06Is because of his song
28:08The lyrical song
28:10It got a lot of reach
28:12It gave a great opening to the film
28:15And the trailer...
28:17They did a lot of reels
28:20The content in the film was a big support
28:24I think advertisement is very important
28:26The song...
28:28There are a lot of celebrities in the society
28:31That happened to me
28:33The song was like magic
28:37A lot of people came to see the film because of the song
28:42We're talking about Gangoa...
28:47There was a lot of advertisement for Gangoa
28:51But some people didn't like it
28:53Some said it was good
28:55I haven't seen it yet
28:57I don't know what it's like
28:59Whatever we say in between...
29:01My film is good, it's superb...
29:03No matter where we go...
29:05Before the audience enters the theater
29:09If it's out of the theater
29:11It will only be discussed when it comes to OTT
29:14Even if it's a big film
29:16I think it happens for some big films
29:19There are a lot of controversies
29:22There's politics...
29:24There are a lot of controversies
29:26They bring that in
29:28And make a film out of nothing
29:30They make a film out of nothing
29:32And talk about it on a big level
29:34You have to do a few things
29:36If you're making a small film like ours
29:39If you want to create a controversy
29:42It can reach a big audience
29:44It's all about advertisement
29:46Advertisement is very important
29:48I'm not saying it's the main thing
29:50It's very important
29:52How do you do it?
29:54It's very important for every film
29:56For example...
29:58We're going to jump from an LIC building in a parachute
30:00The director of this film...
30:02That's what he said...
30:06He's right
30:08There are films that don't run
30:10There are films that run through advertisement
30:12There are both
30:14Advertisement is very important
30:16It's an important part
30:18Advertisement is important
30:20But the way it's done
30:22It's a bad thing
30:24You have to think of something new
30:26It's not our job
30:28I have the same thought
30:30It's a healthy situation
30:32How do we take it to the next level?
30:34Everyone goes to a YouTube or Instagram
30:36What's more important to me
30:38It's about the audience
30:40If the audience likes the film
30:42They'll take it up
30:44They'll say it's good
30:46That's what I think
30:50That's the reason we're here
30:52It's not because of anyone's support
30:54It's because of the support of the people
30:56that this film was accepted
31:00That's what everyone says
31:02The people accepted it
31:04They saw it and gave it to us
31:06There's no one else
31:08So, it doesn't matter if it's a small or a big film
31:10If they like it, they'll watch it
31:14I'll tell you about the reviewers
31:16When I was watching Pairi
31:18There was an important reviewer
31:24He was watching the film
31:26There were many reviewers
31:28I saw one
31:30He fell asleep in the first half
31:32He fell asleep in the first half
31:34He fell asleep in the first half
31:36He was watching the second half
31:38Don't get me wrong
31:40I was going to watch his review the next day
31:44The first half was good
31:46He fell asleep
31:48The second half was mediocre
31:50I felt sleepy
31:52Why did you sleep before I did?
31:54How can the first half be good
31:56and the second half be mediocre?
31:58In Pairi, the second half is more gripping
32:00than the first half
32:02It's very emotional
32:04But I laughed when I saw the reviewer
32:06I'll tell you about my film, Pressure
32:08I'll tell you about my film, Pressure
32:10Is it the same reviewer?
32:12No, it's a different reviewer
32:14He comes in during the interval
32:16He comes in before that
32:18He comes in during the interval
32:20He comes in before that
32:22He comes in during the interval
32:24I asked him why he came in during the interval
32:26He went in
32:28The next day, I saw the review
32:30The reviewer said,
32:32The reviewer said,
32:34the first half was good
32:36the second half was mediocre
32:40He said,
32:42He said,
32:44I said,
32:46I said,
32:50He called and told me
32:54He told me,
32:56I told him,
32:58A lot of people take out their phones and...
33:03I'm sitting in the centre of the theatre...
33:08All the main reviewers take out their phones...
33:13and watch the news in silence...
33:18That's how they review...
33:23I had two or three positive reviews...
33:28Prasanth's review was very positive...
33:33Blue Sattai Maran's review was also positive...
33:38Some of the reviewers I hadn't seen were positive...
33:43The reviewer who watched half of the film was also positive...
33:48If you look at it now...
33:53Reviewers don't even come to watch the film...
33:58You have to pressure the reviewers...
34:03Even today, top industry reviewers haven't reviewed Bairi's film...
34:08Even today they don't...
34:13They only look at the film...
34:18That's how it is with them...
34:23This is a huge problem with new actors...
34:28We had support from companies and artists...
34:33Now it's not there in your films...
34:38Kanyakumari slang...
34:43It's a 90% related slang to Chennai...
34:48Even A.T. has a problem with it...
34:53I was scared when I saw the film...
34:58I thought it was risky...
35:03Nallamurthy used to sustain the slang...
35:08But he made it sound natural...
35:13That scared me...
35:18There were a lot of problems in the film...
35:23If you want to reach beyond that, you need a big advertisement...
35:28You need a lot of support...
35:33Only if you say that, you can reach...
35:38But no one will come...
35:43You can't watch that film in theatres...
35:48At the same time, some big names call me...
35:53They call me and talk to me...
35:58If they say that they liked my film...
36:03I don't like it...
36:08A film doesn't have to catch all kinds of audiences...
36:13We should only pray to God...
36:18If the people who liked the film watch it for the first two days...
36:23Everyone will come to watch it...
36:28I'm sad about Bairi...
36:33I'm sad that the film didn't make it to the place where I celebrated it...
36:38I really liked the film...
36:43I was very excited to talk to you...
36:48Why didn't they invite me to the round table?
36:53I'm very sad about that...
36:58There was a lot of hard work in that film...
37:03I realized that...
37:08I'm sad that it didn't make it to the place where I celebrated it...
37:13Maybe it's because I didn't have a big company or an artist...
37:18It's a very bad situation...
37:23The film is good, the audience is reaching...
37:28Why didn't you make it known?
37:33Everyone came to watch the film when they knew about it...
37:38People are going to decide whether the film is good or not...
37:43We're going to take all the risks to reach the people...
37:48There are a lot of people who liked Bairi...
37:53But it's difficult to make it a big success...
37:58All four of you have made good films...
38:03Do you have a struggle to make a second film?
38:08Not for me...
38:13I don't have a big struggle...
38:18The reviewers gave their feedback...
38:23I don't want to make any mistakes...
38:28That's how I start working...
38:33I think I'll say the same thing in the next film...
38:38I don't have a big struggle...
38:43I believe in the audience...
38:48It's my dream to make a film...
38:53I'm here for that...
38:58There will be struggles, but we'll be the reason for everything...
39:03I just want to correct you in my work...
39:08We'll have questions about why the film didn't reach the audience...
39:13That's the truth...
39:18We shouldn't talk about that...
39:23We shouldn't talk about marketing...
39:28We should make a script that doesn't involve all that...
39:33It should be a film that reaches the poor...
39:38I'm like that...
39:43I don't know if he's going to do an experimental film again...
39:48Everyone would have experienced it...
39:53It's risky to bring something from one's own life...
39:58I'm afraid of how people will accept it...
40:03But we have the courage to go beyond that...
40:08We've learned that...
40:13We've learned that...
40:18We've worked 100% on the first film...
40:23We've put in as much effort as we know...
40:28We've learned how to correct ourselves...
40:33We've learned how to go into another script...
40:38We've learned that...
40:43That's what I'm learning...
40:48I don't know if I'll like it or not...
40:53I don't know if I'll like it or not...
40:58We're going to make the next film with the same effort...
41:03We're going to do it with a little more experience...
41:08Not all films will be a success...
41:13Not all films will be a success...
41:18People have to decide...
41:23People have to decide...
41:28People have to decide...
41:33Last year I did a few films...
41:38They haven't started their next film yet...
41:43People ask me to make a good film...
41:48They ask me to make films that don't change...
41:53They ask me to make films that don't change...
41:58They have to be prepared...
42:03They have to be confident...
42:08There's a lot going on...
42:13It happens when it's done practically...
42:18It happens when it's done practically...
42:23There's a freshness to it...
42:28There's a freshness to it...
42:33We're going to a different world...
42:38We have to be responsible...
42:43We have to be responsible...
42:48We have to do what we like...
42:53We have to do what we like...
42:58I don't know how to say this...
43:03They'll categorize us...
43:08We've only done one film...
43:13We shouldn't break that...
43:18We shouldn't break that...
43:23That's what I think...
43:28They're asking me to do a family story...
43:33They're asking me to make a feel-good film...
43:38I don't know how to do that...
43:43I'm the total opposite...
43:48We have to engage the audience in theater...
43:53We don't have to worry about logic...
43:58I have a follow-up question...
44:03The financial success of a film is determined by the next film...
44:08They said that I was the only one who signed...
44:13If my film crosses 100 crores, 200 crores, 600 crores, 1000 crores...
44:18The producers will expect me to collect the film...
44:23I had two opportunities before Bairu's release...
44:28I could tell them what I wanted to do...
44:33But that was after seeing the preview...
44:38When there's no collection in theater...
44:43There's a response from the audience...
44:48We'll wait for a while...
44:53If it was a commercial success, it would have been signed immediately...
44:58I'm not going to ask about the story...
45:03There are four or five films that have been signed...
45:08The next five films will be signed by the production house...
45:13You can't just say yes to a line...
45:18They'll say, okay, you can finish it...
45:23It's the same old story...
45:28It's the same old story...
45:33You can finish the whole story from that room...
45:38You can take it to them and talk about it...
45:43They'll decide if it will work out...
45:48The financial success determines that...
45:53The financial success is what determines the technicality...
45:58If you go to the production house in Tamil cinema...
46:03There are already three, four or five lineups...
46:08Five lineups...
46:13If it's the sixth or seventh film, we'll have to wait for a year or two...
46:18There are a lot of problems...
46:23The first film was a struggle...
46:28The next film was a hit...
46:33Hits are based on financial success...
46:38What about the collection?
46:43We have to think about it ourselves...
46:48We can't be without a producer...
46:53It's a big risk...
46:58That's why he said the next film will be different...
47:03We have to be in a place where they consider us...
47:08The first film was like that...
47:13When I read the script, I thought it was a new life...
47:18It had a different level of emotions...
47:23My director would have seen it as a big hit...
47:28It would have been a big hit...
47:33I don't know how much confidence you have in your story...
47:38I don't know how much confidence you have in your story...
47:43If both the mindsets are the same and the audience is satisfied...
47:48That would be the right thing to do...
47:53There's a lot of process...
47:58He said he would continue with Bairi 2...
48:03Can he do it now?
48:08He can do the fourth film...
48:13If it had been a financial success, we would have started the second part immediately...
48:18We would have completed the script by now...
48:23It wouldn't have happened if it hadn't happened...
48:28If you give a financial hit, the audience will ask you not to do Bairi 2...
48:33The answer to that question is financial success...
48:38It's 100% true...
48:43It's important to give the producer the money...
48:48The producer of my film, Nambi...
48:53Even after a few years, the film is doing well...
48:58We have to wait for their support...
49:03If it's a financial success...
49:08The talk before the release of the film was a boost for them...
49:13I'm talking about the production...
49:18If it's not based on financial success, the producer has to do his job...
49:23Another big thing is...
49:28Like Bairi, JPB, Blue Star...
49:33We showed that there's a film like this in theatres...
49:38There are many good films that haven't been released yet...
49:43We're talking about OTT...
49:48There are many good films like this...
49:53I think we've done well in that regard...
49:58He's right. There are many good films that haven't been released yet...
50:03There are many films that haven't been released yet...
50:08There are films that were made 10 years ago...
