00:00What did you say about Kayseri Chapter 2?
00:03It's a first time dividend,
00:07and so hard it ain't,
00:10and so strong films.
00:12How do you know this?
00:15I mean, I gave a book
00:19that my friend gave me,
00:21which was called Case That Shook The Empire.
00:23I read that book,
00:25and the story was so powerful
00:27that I decided that it should be my first film.
00:30Then I wrote that script with my co-writer,
00:32Amrit Paal Singh Bindraajji.
00:34We listened to that script,
00:36and they liked our script.
00:38Our script was really good.
00:40And then we met with Akshay Sir.
00:43Akshay Sir has given us his whole life.
00:47And today our film released,
00:49Kayseri Chapter 2,
00:50which is so much appreciated.
00:52And for me, it's so hard.
00:54I feel so heartwarming.
00:56I feel that we have such a positive reaction from the whole country.
01:01I have seen a video
01:03that there was a screening in Hyderabad,
01:05and the people are playing
01:06in the final speech on Shankaran Nair.
01:09They are putting the slogans on their lives.
01:11They are putting the slogan on Shankaran Nair.
01:13They are connecting with Shankaran Nair.
01:14I'm not happy about that.
01:16Sir,
01:17I feel so much about it.
01:18I have seen a lot of the actors in the first film,
01:20and so many of the actors.
01:21So,
01:22how did you all do that?
01:24You've been taking a lot of action.
01:26And you've been taking a lot of action.
01:27And that's the fact that you've been taking a lot of action.
01:28So,
01:29how many of you were getting jitters?
01:31How many of you were getting jitters?
01:32So, what will happen?
01:34No,
01:35I didn't have jitters.
01:36Because I knew that
01:37we were taking a lot of great stories from the world.
01:40And these actors are so experienced actors
01:43that they felt very comfortable.
01:46And we worked as a team.
01:49We made this film a collaborative way.
01:52And these experienced actors
01:55completely backed my vision
01:57and supported me.
01:59Sir,
02:00your film is a real life historical history.
02:05So,
02:06how did you research it?
02:07And if it was the most challenging,
02:08what did you do?
02:09We have written this film for 2,5 years
02:15for 2,5 years.
02:17We have read the case that shook the empire book.
02:21We have read many books
02:23which were written about the incident.
02:26And Kishwar Desai has written a beautiful book.
02:29He read it.
02:30He read it.
02:31He read it.
02:32He read it.
02:33We read it.
02:34We read it.
02:35We read it.
02:36And we read it.
02:37The survivors,
02:38the survivors,
02:39the survivors are the survivors.
02:40And after this,
02:42we started writing a script.
02:44And you talked about challenging.
02:49The survivors,
02:50the survivors of the war were the victims
02:51of the war.
02:52The survivors of the war were the victims.
02:54Because we knew that
02:55the survivors of the war were the victims
02:56of the war were the victims of their sacrifices.
02:58That's why we had to be sensitive.
03:00So,
03:01we had to be authentic.
03:02That was the sequence challenging.
03:03But I had such a better team.
03:06My DOP.
03:07And my Action Director,
03:08Florian Hotz,
03:09and Hots, they supported me completely
03:11completely, completely,
03:11completely, completely,
03:11completely support me.
03:12And today,
03:14you are seeing that support
03:15and that hard work result.
03:22There were a lot of moments.
03:24The following sequence was very emotional.
03:27Then, in the film,
03:28there was a sequence when Shankaran Nair
03:29read a letter and they were
03:31crying for a while.
03:33That sequence was very emotional
03:34because Akshay sir has
03:35so much better in his way
03:37that I can never forget.
03:39Sir, historical film
03:41is usually said that
03:44historical film is a travel
03:45and it's a story for
03:46to be able to advertise
03:47a lot.
03:48So, what does it feel like
03:49that the film has been
03:50so much drama
03:52and how much real is it?
03:55Look, the real case
03:57was going to go
03:58months to months.
04:00We had to compress a real case
04:01for two hours
04:01in the film.
04:03That's why the timelines
04:04compressed
04:04and the characters
04:05combined
04:06and the characters
04:08and we combined them one character.
04:11But we were mindful that we could never tamper with the incident facts.
04:20And we had the complete support of Shankaran Nair's family.
04:25They gave us our scripting stage.
04:28They saw the first cut of the film.
04:30And we were mindful that we had the soul of Shankaran Nair.
04:35And we did that.
04:37Sir, recently General Nair's talk about Dan Docter,
04:41and then you answered it.
04:42But after that, the answer came.
04:44It hasn't come yet.
04:47But I would like to watch this film.
04:49And they will be surprised that they believe in a non-confident thought
04:55that the people who came in were looters.
04:58I would like to watch this film.
04:59And after watching this film, they will be surprised.
05:01Sir, the political environment has become such a political environment.
05:05And if there are any other films, they will be criticized in social media.
05:11So, there are all sorts of trolls in it.
05:14So, how do you see this thing?
05:16And recently, there is a film coming out.
05:19So, people are criticizing it.
05:22So, what do you say?
05:23How do you see those videos?
05:25Look, I will say something.
05:27People will say something.
05:28People will say something.
05:29Our work is to work and to work.
05:32Sir, the critics are not talking about it.
05:34So, critics have said it well.
05:36But some critics have said it well.
05:38So, how do you see the critics?
05:40How do you see the critics?
05:41With all humility, all respect.
05:43If some critics don't like this film, then I will work for the next time.
05:47And I will try and I will try that they will love my next film.
05:52How do you see the critics?
05:53How do you see the critics?
05:54How do you see the cast of Ananya Pandya?
05:55How do you see the critics of Ananya Pandya?
06:00I, again, with all humility and respect,
06:03I believe that Ananya Pandya has done a lot of performance in this film.
06:08Ananya Pandya has done a lot of work.
06:10Ananya Pandya has done a lot of work.
06:12Ananya Pandya has done a lot of dialect classes for two years in Punjabi Diction.
06:17He has shadowed a lawyer so that those lawyer mannerisms can improve the correct way.
06:24And if some people think that they didn't do this performance,
06:28then I would say that Ananya and I will work for the next time in the next film.
06:33And they just want that all of our performances are good.
06:37Sir, how do you think Dharma Productions is a dream production house for a first time director?
06:44They supported my vision completely, completely backed.
06:49And here I want to talk about Leo Media Collective.
06:52Leo Media Collective co-producers in this film, Leo Media Collective,
06:57Amritpahal Singh Bindra,
06:59they showed a faith in a first time director.
07:01They met me in Karan Johor.
07:03And these two production houses have completely backed my vision.
07:07Sir, last week, what are the future projects in your future projects?
07:11I am writing my previous stories too.
07:14But I want that as much love I got to get to this story,
07:18he will get to the next story.
07:20And I will put my whole knowledge in my future films,
07:22I will create more and better and more entertaining.
07:26Sir, lastly, a message to our fans please.
07:31I just hope that you guys watch this film,
07:34go back, go back, go back, go with the next time,
