00:00 Laka Laka Laka.
00:01 The sound of Chandramukhi is still heard.
00:03 The sequel to that, Chandramukhi 2, will be released on September 20th.
00:08 For the promotion of the film, we have with us...
00:12 Legendary director Vasu.
00:15 We don't need to introduce him.
00:17 He is a well-known person. Lawrence Raghava.
00:20 Beauty.
00:21 Mahima Nambiar.
00:24 She is with us.
00:26 How will the sound of Chandramukhi be?
00:29 Sir, Chandramukhi is a blockbuster.
00:33 A film that sets a benchmark.
00:35 For that film, without Rajinikanth...
00:38 Did you feel it was a good idea to do a sequel?
00:42 First, we thought we should do it with that character.
00:49 We shouldn't do that.
00:51 We should do it with another type.
00:53 We should do it with a hero.
00:55 I put that in my mind first.
00:59 Then, we got a psychiatrist doctor.
01:02 He came.
01:04 He came in a comedy way.
01:07 We did all that.
01:09 In this, we got another...
01:10 Not a psychiatrist.
01:12 But a character who comes to the house with two kids.
01:15 I did that character.
01:17 When that character came, I thought it would be good if we did it with another hero.
01:22 I made it funny.
01:25 I made it funny.
01:26 If we do it in Telugu, we can tell the name of five artists.
01:31 We can tell it in Tamil too.
01:32 But after all that, how did they change the character?
01:37 How did they change it to another character?
01:39 When we went there, who did we want?
01:42 When we went there, who did we want?
01:45 Automatically, the master called me.
01:47 So, that is how it came.
01:49 When Chandramukhi wrote the story with you in mind...
01:53 Who was there in your mind?
01:56 First or second?
01:59 I mean, the master called you.
02:00 No, I don't keep that in mind.
02:03 I never keep an artist in mind and write.
02:06 So, if someone says it will suit me, I will go with that.
02:11 If they say it is not good, it is a different type.
02:15 If I say Rajini, I will change her pattern.
02:19 I will change it totally.
02:22 So, I incorporated certain scenes for them...
02:26 ...to see how it would be if I did the master.
02:30 Sir, Lawrence...
02:33 ...when you wanted to make a benchmark film sequel...
02:40 ...how challenging was it?
02:43 We came to Hyderabad last night.
02:45 We have been interviewing continuously since morning.
02:50 Everyone is asking the same question.
02:52 I am asking you this question differently.
02:58 Will I do well if I play the role of Rajini?
03:03 You have the opportunity to do it as a fan.
03:06 I have that right? Thank you, sir.
03:08 I did that.
03:10 When I played the role of Rajini...
03:16 ...I had a fear.
03:20 I was scared and did it.
03:25 The fear that we give...
03:29 ...the fear we give when we work...
03:32 ...the confidence we give, will it come out well?
03:35 -It will. -If you do it with devotion?
03:39 Both.
03:40 If you have fear, you will get devotion.
03:43 Will it come out well?
03:46 -I am asking you. -It will.
03:49 -If you do it, it will come out well. -What did you feel when you saw the trailer?
03:53 -It was good. -Was it good?
03:55 -Will you go to the theatre and watch it? -Definitely.
03:57 Thank you, sir. Thank you so much. Next question, madam.
03:59 -Mahima. -Yes.
04:01 You have two blockbuster films in Malayalam, rather than Chandramukhi 2.
04:06 -Valetta and RDX. -Yes.
04:08 This is going to be a hat-trick film.
04:12 Apart from that, another film is ready.
04:14 A blockbuster.
04:15 When you got this offer, what was your reaction?
04:20 Chandramukhi 2 is a jackpot for me, for sure.
04:23 Because...
04:24 I remember when Chandramukhi 1 came, when it got released, I was in school.
04:30 I had no idea that...
04:32 I watched the film with my entire family.
04:34 While watching, I had no idea that I will be playing this important character...
04:37 ...when the sequel comes.
04:38 So, when I was asked for the character, I was...
04:42 I was surprised. I was spellbound.
04:45 I was like, "Are you sure they are asking me for this character?"
04:48 "Vasu sir is calling me for this character."
04:50 So, that itself was very surprising to me.
04:54 And to have had the opportunity to work with such an amazing director...
04:58 ...with an amazing production house...
04:59 ...with a talented actor and a dancer and an amazing director...
05:04 ...master...
05:06 Everything just came in the right time.
05:09 Everything just happened like that.
05:11 So, I feel that Chandramukhi 2 is definitely a jackpot for me.
05:15 And coming back to the question where you said...
05:19 ...about my Malayalam releases and my follow-ups...
05:22 I never planned it this way.
05:26 It just happened.
05:27 So, I don't want to take credit of it that I am planning it this way.
05:31 And I am seeing myself there within five years or anything.
05:34 I had no such plans. I am just going with the flow.
05:37 And thanks to my directors...
05:39 ...my cast and crew of the film and everyone...
05:44 ...for supporting me and taking me here...
05:46 ...and giving me all the support and everything.
05:49 And especially to God for giving me all the opportunities.
05:53 So, it was never my plan.
05:56 So, when Mahima selected you...
06:00 ...there will be a prominence for the character.
06:02 So, what kind of preparation did you do?
06:05 To be very honest, I didn't have to do anything for the character.
06:10 Okay. - Because...
06:12 ...as we all know, Vasu sir is a very experienced director.
06:15 And he has got a very perfect vision of how the character has to come out.
06:19 And he knows exactly how to get it out of an actor.
06:21 That comes with experience.
06:23 So, when I first went for the shot...
06:26 ...I remember I was very scared because I was the only new person there.
06:31 Everybody around me were all big technicians, great big actors...
06:34 ...all senior actors, senior directors and senior cameramen.
06:37 So, I was very scared.
06:39 And I still remember he told me to just go and stand in front of the camera.
06:43 I had to react for a sequence. That was my first shot in the film.
06:45 He said, "Go and stand in front of the camera."
06:47 "I'll go behind the camera and show you exactly what to do. You just copy me."
06:51 So, I had to copy him.
06:52 So, each and every scene, be it the smallest of the scenes...
06:56 ...each and every scene, he had a very clear idea...
06:59 ...and he shows, he acts and he shows it to every actor.
07:02 So, it becomes very easy for an actor to just copy him.
07:06 Copying is easy, right?
07:08 Compared to when you have to take in the character and perform.
07:11 No such issues were there. I only had to copy him.
07:15 So, it was very easy and I didn't have to do any homework.
07:18 He actually becomes a character when he narrates a scene.
07:23 If there are two or three actors in the scene...
07:25 ...he'll act each and every character.
07:27 He'll come here, he'll act for this character...
07:29 ...he'll go there and act for that character.
07:31 So, I only had to copy him.
07:33 So, he made me feel very comfortable.
07:36 And all thanks to my director for doing that.
07:38 - I'll copy, okay? - I'll copy.
07:41 How tough is it to crack to Lawrence off-screen and on-screen?
07:46 He's a very friendly, jovial kind of a person.
07:49 So, to act with him, it was not difficult at all.
07:52 But I was very scared on the first day.
07:55 Not only for him, but for all the actors around me...
07:57 ...I was very scared because I was a new one there.
08:00 But he made me feel very comfortable.
08:02 He cracks jokes and...
08:04 We call it Chandramukhi family because it's a very big star cast.
08:09 Senior actors, junior actors, new, fresh faces.
08:12 So, it's like a big family.
08:14 So, after every shot, we all sit together, we chit-chat, we talk, we gossip.
08:19 We do all of that.
08:20 So, from the first day itself, that fear and inhibitions and everything just went away.
08:26 So, it was very nice and the master was also very comfortable to work with.
08:31 And I was very scared for the dance sequence with him.
08:34 Because he's an amazing dancer.
08:37 I was excited at the same time to dance along with him.
08:40 I remember, we shot that family song before the duet.
08:44 And I was placed right next to him for that hook step.
08:49 And I was just standing there waiting for the director to say action.
08:53 And then I immediately felt, "Oh my God, I'm dancing with Raghava Lawrence master."
08:57 And that's such a big thing.
08:59 And I told him, "Master, I'm so excited that I'm getting to dance with you."
09:03 So, dancing with him was an amazing experience.
09:07 Everything was amazing and he was very comfortable to work with.
09:10 We don't have to say that Lawrence master is a great dancer.
09:15 But in the song that someone released recently...
09:19 I got the feeling that they pushed Lawrence master.
09:23 Because they put a lot of steps for Vadivelu and released the song.
09:26 I didn't put the steps for Vadivelu. He did.
09:28 I agree.
09:29 He said, "I told you to start like this."
09:34 "Where do you start?"
09:36 "Start with Vadivelu. Super, sir. That's the best."
09:39 "Should I give this beat to Vadivelu?"
09:41 "It'll be better if Vadivelu does it."
09:43 So, like you said,
09:47 Lawrence master always does what Lawrence master does.
09:51 But even in those moments,
09:53 even if the master gives an idea, he adds it.
09:56 He does this and that.
09:58 So, it's very important for them.
10:01 As a master, as a dance master,
10:04 giving and taking it as another master,
10:07 doing it in a style with them,
10:10 and doing it with Vadivelu,
10:13 it's a very important thing.
10:15 Sir, everyone knows Vadivelu is an actor and a comedian.
10:19 As a dancer,
10:21 you wanted to promote him in this song.
10:24 So, what were your suggestions?
10:26 -Coaching. -Sir, he's a good dancer too.
10:30 Some people say, "Methavalu comedy is a dialogue."
10:34 Vadivelu's body language is very good.
10:37 There's no need to go and tell him.
10:40 I'm his fan.
10:42 I like him a lot.
10:45 I want to see him dance like this.
10:47 The director suggested that we should dance to the rhythm we know.
10:51 He's right.
10:52 He's right. We've danced to it.
10:54 If Vadivelu dances, I'll enjoy it.
10:56 The kids and the family will enjoy it.
10:59 Dinesh master will also compose a movement.
11:01 I also suggested that he should do it with a small await.
11:05 I said that.
11:07 But it's all Vadivelu, Vasu's plan and Dinesh master's plan.
11:11 Okay.
11:12 -Sir, Chandramukhi... -Vadivelu, did you like his dance?
11:16 It was good, sir. That's what.
11:18 I wanted to ask you about that.
11:21 Thank you, sir.
11:22 Sir, in Chandramukhi, Rajinikanth, Vadivelu...
11:27 The chemistry between them is very good.
11:29 The comedy is very good.
11:31 One of the reasons for the blockbuster is that combination.
11:36 How did Vadivelu and Lawrence combine in this film?
11:40 There's a combination, but it's not the same type.
11:43 -Okay. -It's a different type.
11:45 There should always be a fight.
11:49 There should be a fight between the hero and the comedian.
11:53 Only if there's a fight, it becomes a comedy.
11:56 That fight is also there in this film.
11:57 -What do you mean by fight? -Fight is...
12:01 ...a characterization in a conversation.
12:03 If they want something, they say no.
12:05 Okay.
12:06 If they say no, they'll get a reaction.
12:09 Something like that.
12:10 Okay.
12:13 If I want to tell a story, I have to tell a character.
12:16 -Okay. -That's why I didn't tell.
12:18 So, there will be a problem where he has to get it,
12:21 but he will not allow him to get it.
12:23 -Okay. -That's comedy.
12:25 Sir, Vadivelu's timing and comic timing is very good.
12:30 You too have a good timing in comedy.
12:33 How did you two match?
12:36 It worked out very easily.
12:39 -The memorable moments, the funny moments. -Yes, a lot.
12:42 I shouldn't tell you the scenes.
12:46 There are some bedroom scenes.
12:48 The director will send a dialogue.
12:52 He will go there and put it on the spot.
12:54 I have to counter it.
12:56 The director has to get permission from the other person.
12:59 So, it's a competition.
13:01 If he puts a dialogue, we'll say it.
13:04 I like comedy a lot.
13:06 No matter how big the action is, we'll put comedy.
13:09 Even the director will not miss a comedy in a big action film.
13:13 So, he has a sense of comedy.
13:15 If I tell him something, he will laugh at me.
13:19 It will work out in a theatre.
13:21 Vadivelu will not leave a scene.
13:26 If he gives two pages,
13:30 we'll go out and come back with 15 pages.
13:34 -10-15 pages. -Yes.
13:36 We'll write and improve it.
13:39 10 pages will be lost.
13:41 We'll add one more page.
13:44 We'll do whatever the director wants.
13:46 Okay.
13:47 Sir, fights are important for this film.
13:54 What is the scope for fights?
13:57 The fight will be like Chandramukhi.
14:00 It will have the same scope.
14:03 Okay.
14:04 This is not a fight film.
14:06 But there will be a reason for the fight.
14:08 -The audience expects that from Lawrence Masters. -Yes.
14:12 -That will be there. -Okay.
14:14 We are talking about the new Chandramukhi character.
14:20 When you wrote the character,
14:23 did you think it was Jyothika?
14:26 Or did you think it was someone else?
14:28 -There is no chance of Jyothika. -No.
14:30 -No chance. -Okay.
14:32 I was ready to play any character.
14:35 I was ready to play even New Face.
14:39 I thought of doing a character like that.
14:42 I freed myself from that.
14:44 Who will make you do Kangana?
14:47 There are 2-3 artists.
14:50 But they were busy with certain films.
14:56 I didn't do that character.
14:59 I did about 40 days' work without that character.
15:02 Who do you think will be the heroine?
15:05 -The heroine is... -Kangana Kakunta.
15:09 No, she is there.
15:11 -We didn't do that. -Okay.
15:14 -We will do it. -Kangana is here.
15:16 -Why not? -If she doesn't ask.
15:19 -If she doesn't ask... -If she doesn't ask, New Face...
15:22 Who will be there without Kangana?
15:25 Who will be good?
15:28 Why are you shocked?
15:31 -How will we feel? -He is just looking at you.
15:34 Who will be good without Kangana?
15:39 How can I say?
15:41 Just say it.
15:45 -Be friendly. -If it's Swamy Udthameen, it's good.
15:48 -Who? -Swamy Udthameen.
15:50 Oh, it's good?
15:52 -We will plan for part 3. -Okay.
15:55 Who will be good without me?
16:00 -You. -Me? Thank you.
16:05 Why should I say another name?
16:08 -It's good to bring you as a competitor. -No, thank you.
16:13 In Telugu, after a big hit,
16:19 everyone expected a sequel.
16:24 Do you have a plan?
16:27 I want to do a dance film.
16:32 I want to do a full dance film.
16:34 It will be good if I do a style part 2.
16:37 Many times,
16:40 the producer asked me to do a part 2.
16:44 Many fans, even if it's a mass film,
16:47 if it's a mass film, or a rebel film,
16:52 they ask me to do a part 2.
16:54 But there are dancers in the style.
16:57 They ask me when I will do a part 2.
17:00 So, it's a good idea.
17:03 If I do a dance film,
17:05 because many channels are doing dance films,
17:08 it will be good.
17:10 Let's see.
17:11 When will you do a film with Chiranjeevi?
17:14 I can do a feature film when he calls me.
17:18 My question is,
17:21 Chiranjeevi gave you an offer.
17:23 At the same time, Rajinikanth also gave you an offer.
17:25 Who will do the film?
17:26 15 days of his film and 15 days of his film.
17:29 We have to do it at the same time.
17:31 At the same time?
17:32 We have to do it at the same time.
17:34 How will you do it at the same time?
17:35 We have to finish it at the same time.
17:40 At the same time.
17:41 At the same time?
17:42 I have two close friends, so I will adjust.
17:45 Let's see if I get a chance.
17:48 I will call both the directors.
17:50 Rajini gave me a card in Tamil and made me a dancer.
17:57 To become a great dance master in Telugu,
18:01 I have to learn the movement of 'Dai Dai'.
18:04 I have to learn the song 'Bambam Bole'.
18:05 I still remember it.
18:06 It was a big change in my life.
18:10 I will do a film with Nagarjuna.
18:12 I am ready to do a film with everyone.
18:15 But...
18:16 You are busy.
18:17 I am not busy.
18:18 They are busy with me.
18:20 When I get my script and when they get theirs,
18:22 I will do it when I get a good picture.
18:25 I will do it when God gives me time.
18:28 Will you do a film with Ram Charan?
18:30 I will do it with all the heroes.
18:31 When I was a dance master,
18:34 all the heroes encouraged me.
18:36 Ram Charan, NTR Babu,
18:39 I was the first film that Mahesh Babu wanted.
18:43 Prabhas...
18:45 I want to do a film with all the heroes.
18:48 I will do it.
18:49 Okay.
18:50 Sir, in Chandramukhi 2,
18:52 why did you come to an audience theater to watch this film?
18:56 What are the strengths?
18:58 Why did I come to watch this film?
19:00 You can come if you are bored.
19:02 I can come and watch.
19:03 Do I have to be there during pastime?
19:05 They are staying at home.
19:07 Do I need entertainment?
19:08 Where do they go?
19:10 They come to watch such films.
19:10 When you wanted entertainment,
19:12 you watched Chandramukhi trailer.
19:13 It has good comedy.
19:15 It has good fight and songs.
19:17 They come to watch this film.
19:19 There is no other choice.
19:21 Skanda will be released on your film.
19:23 Skanda.
19:25 Skanda...
19:27 He is Mr. Boyapati.
19:28 -Boyapati. -He is the mass director.
19:30 Ram does a superb dance and fight.
19:34 The trailer is very good.
19:35 Two films are coming.
19:36 I want Raghendra Swami to hit that film.
19:39 Please hit our film too.
19:41 Watch both the films.
19:43 I want your blessings for both the films.
19:46 I want both the films to hit.
19:48 How will Chandramukhi 3 be?
19:52 Ask me if I will be there.
19:54 -That is next. -Next?
19:56 We will see after the release.
19:59 After releasing a film,
20:03 I will take it from there.
20:04 I have already done one small line.
20:07 I will see how it goes.
20:10 Has any script idea formed?
20:13 Are you giving any lead in this film?
20:15 I am giving only one line as a lead.
20:18 At the end,
20:19 the actors will come out and say, "Repeat again."
20:22 Okay.
20:23 So,
20:24 -Chandramukhi 3... -In Chandramukhi 1,
20:27 there is a line, "Repeat."
20:29 I will also come in that song.
20:31 Okay.
20:32 The actors will say that dialogue at the end.
20:36 As soon as I come out of the house,
20:38 I will see a small disturbance.
20:41 They will see it and say, "Repeat again."
20:43 That is a cue.
20:45 Will you be a master in Chandramukhi 3?
20:49 We already talk about it.
20:53 God always says what God does.
20:58 Sir, am I there?
20:59 -What? -Yes.
21:01 -Am I there? -Everyone is there.
21:02 He is also there. Thank you very much, sir.
21:04 The interview was very good, sir.
21:07 Okay.
21:08 Like Chandramukhi,
21:09 -I gave a lead in Chandramukhi 2. -Okay.
21:11 It was a big hit.
21:15 It was a blockbuster.
21:16 We wish Chandramukhi 3 to come again.
21:19 -Thank you, sir. -Thank you.
