00:00 (singing)
00:19 I feel like Nambra, the bathroom singer.
00:23 Don't lie.
00:27 You look like a bike racer.
00:30 I like this a lot.
00:32 I am cute and...
00:35 What kind of a student was Mamitha?
00:40 A very good student.
00:42 Is that so?
00:43 Are you very quiet?
00:45 I am not a very good student.
00:48 Have you ever been scared when you are alone?
00:53 Yes.
00:57 Even when I see myself in the mirror.
00:59 Who is your celebrity crush in Tamil cinema?
01:05 I feel like I would be happy if I get a guy like him.
01:16 Hello to all the viewers of One India Film Week.
01:21 Today's interview is with Rebel.
01:23 How are you?
01:25 I am fine.
01:27 You have taken a real incident from the 1980s.
01:33 How did you get the idea to take this story?
01:40 This is my hometown Munnar.
01:46 I took inspiration from the problems of the people there.
01:53 I had an idea to do this from the beginning.
01:56 I developed it and did it.
02:00 What can we expect from your character?
02:05 What can we expect?
02:09 My character's name is Sara.
02:14 She is a bubbly girl.
02:16 Her look in the 80s will be fresh.
02:22 I like this character.
02:31 I don't know what to expect.
02:33 So, you took inspiration from the 80s costumes.
02:38 How did you feel when you wore those costumes?
02:42 I had never seen myself like this.
02:44 I felt fresh when I wore those costumes.
02:51 The set was like that.
02:54 Everyone wore 80s clothes.
03:04 They wore skirts here.
03:06 I felt like I was in the 80s.
03:14 We shot the set in a forest college in Coimbatore.
03:23 We felt peaceful.
03:29 It was like a set for us.
03:34 What did you like about the costumes in the 80s?
03:39 I liked the styling.
03:41 The frills, floral colors, shawls, rings, jimmy car.
03:59 I liked everything.
04:04 When you were writing the story for 'Rebel'...
04:09 ...did you have Jeevi Prakash in mind?
04:14 I decided to do Jeevi sir when I was going through the first half.
04:21 I did the second half with him.
04:24 It has powerful Tamil dialogues.
04:27 I needed courage to do it.
04:30 Jeevi Prakash gave me confidence.
04:35 He's the first voice for Tamil.
04:39 I decided to try it with him.
04:41 What was his reaction when you told him the story?
04:46 I didn't narrate the whole story.
04:49 I shot the idea and visualized it.
04:52 He said he'd definitely do the film after seeing it.
04:58 He liked the action hero element.
05:04 You worked with Jeevi Prakash. How was that experience?
05:12 It was good. 'Rebel' is a special film for me.
05:22 I was able to clarify my doubts and make the scenes.
05:29 I'm a big fan of Jeevi sir's music.
05:40 I've done a repeat of Trishayilanna Nayantara's BGMs.
05:50 Sometimes I miss the grammar.
05:55 I was happy when I heard that I'd be acting under Jeevi sir's name.
06:08 It was a good experience.
06:15 The rap and the music were good.
06:20 Jeevi sir told you that he'd narrated the story.
06:30 I spoke to him over the phone.
06:33 He asked me what was happening.
06:44 I didn't tell him much.
06:47 I asked him script by script.
06:50 You must have had a lot of doubts.
06:53 Yes, I had doubts every day.
06:56 How do you clarify your doubts?
07:05 He must have had a perception.
07:08 How do you clarify your perception?
07:11 I know Malayalam.
07:14 I can convey it easily.
07:17 I knew Tamil and Malayalam.
07:20 I decided to act as a Malayalam girl.
07:23 The heroine is in a Malayalam story.
07:26 I can convey it easily.
07:29 They'll understand.
07:32 If they say they don't understand, I'll do it easily.
07:35 What are the memorable moments for you?
07:40 What was it like being an actress?
07:43 You're the first.
07:46 I was in that college.
07:53 Whenever I think of 'Revera', I think of that college.
08:00 The college and the song 'Onam'.
08:08 I really enjoyed the montage cuts.
08:13 That's the most memorable.
08:26 After three days of shooting, we were shooting an important scene.
08:34 After that, JV sir went to Caravan.
08:37 He told me that he was going to shoot the next scene.
08:42 He called the producer and told me.
08:45 The producers appreciated me.
08:48 That's what I can't forget.
08:51 The film itself is about college life.
08:57 What was the first thing that came to your mind when you saw the college sets?
09:02 I don't remember.
09:07 I felt how different it was.
09:12 I was studying in college.
09:17 There was a difference in the culture.
09:22 In that period, everyone was shy.
09:25 Love moments were also very lovable.
09:30 There were no such things then.
09:33 Now, there's a lot of texting.
09:36 Was it like talking to people?
09:39 It's not like that now.
09:42 In the 80s, friends would just joke around.
09:51 But now, it's all casual.
09:55 I didn't feel that way.
09:58 I liked that.
10:01 Now, I don't like it.
10:04 But I didn't feel that way.
10:11 That's what I like.
10:14 What else did you like about the 80s?
10:24 I think MIT.
10:29 Bike.
10:32 You ride a bike?
10:35 You must be a bike racer.
10:38 I ride a proper bike.
10:41 I ride a scooter and bike.
10:44 I like that.
10:47 I'm cute.
10:50 I have a good feeling.
10:53 Do you remember the college story?
10:58 I don't remember much.
11:03 I remember the old films and Ilayaraja sir.
11:06 I used to shoot with Ilayaraja sir's songs.
11:13 That was memorable.
11:16 There would have been songs from 'Ilamayilum Pungaattu' in the teaser.
11:19 I would shoot with Ilayaraja sir's songs daily.
11:24 To get that 80s feel.
11:27 We can hear old songs in films.
11:32 It's a trend.
11:35 I think 'Ilamayilum Pungaattu' will be a trend.
11:39 Why did you choose that song?
11:42 All Ilayaraja sir's songs are hits.
11:45 I like that song.
11:49 Is it a personal song?
11:52 Yes, I have many songs in the film.
11:55 I can't avoid 80s.
11:58 Jeevi sir has sung a song.
12:01 You said you're a fan of Jeevi Prakash sir.
12:06 We heard you sing well.
12:09 Who said that?
12:12 We know it's true.
12:15 I'm a bathroom singer.
12:24 I sing in the bathroom.
12:27 But I can't...
12:30 If you sing a song for your fans...
12:33 Two lines...
12:36 'I'll sing for you'
12:39 Why are you giving me that photo?
12:42 Tell me another song.
12:48 Tell me what song it is.
12:51 Tell me any song.
12:54 I like that song.
12:57 But if I sing it...
13:00 Everyone will be like, 'What a song!'
13:03 Just one try.
13:06 [Song]
13:09 I feel like I'm being trusted.
13:24 He said he's a bathroom singer.
13:27 He'll definitely give you the next song.
13:30 He'll definitely sing a song for you.
13:33 What surprised you about working with Jeevi sir?
13:38 I've never seen such a dimension with him.
13:51 Like you said.
13:54 We've always seen a lovely side.
13:57 A chocolate boy.
14:00 I've never seen a rebellious side.
14:03 When he acts...
14:06 If he doesn't like something, he'll shoot it again the next day.
14:19 He has that level of dedication.
14:25 I still wonder how he manages all this.
14:30 How he manages all this...
14:41 Jeevi sir has also done music for the film.
14:50 Did he tell you that he was doing music?
14:53 Or did you hear him do it?
14:56 He told me that he'd do music himself.
14:59 He knew he had a scope.
15:02 He did music himself.
15:05 He's the hero.
15:08 How easy was it to get the music you expected?
15:13 It was very easy.
15:16 I'd put music references on the spot.
15:19 He'd observe it.
15:22 I was shocked when I saw the teaser.
15:25 I didn't give any reference.
15:28 He'd done it perfectly.
15:31 I knew he'd do it perfectly.
15:34 I didn't interfere in anything.
15:37 What's the quality of Jeevi sir as a hero?
15:40 And what's the quality of a music director?
15:43 He's very dedicated as a hero.
15:46 He's very strong in not conveying the audience in a dialogue.
15:51 This is a sensible content.
15:54 He's very careful not to mix up the dialogues.
15:59 He's a genius as a music director.
16:02 Everyone knows that.
16:05 I have a set of questions for you.
16:08 Why just me?
16:11 You have to answer all of them.
16:14 Can we share?
16:17 How many questions?
16:22 Answers for each question.
16:25 There are only a few.
16:28 Are you very quiet?
16:35 I'm not a very good student.
16:38 I'm not just a studious student.
16:41 I'm a student, a best friend...
16:44 Everything.
16:47 I'm an A+.
16:50 Have you ever been mischievous in school or college?
16:53 I've been mischievous many times.
16:56 I can't say that.
16:59 So, you've been punished many times.
17:02 Yes, many times.
17:05 Was it a difficult punishment?
17:08 There was a phase in school.
17:11 I would get beaten up by the principal and go to class.
17:20 Because I was late.
17:23 I would not look at the principal.
17:26 I would go up the stairs.
17:31 I would call him in front of the camera.
17:34 I would call him and beat him up.
17:37 You said you were a good student.
17:40 Now you're saying you won't go to the principal.
17:43 This is a good thing.
17:46 You have to be like this.
17:49 What's the point of studying?
17:52 I'm a good student in class.
17:55 Whatever I do...
17:58 Whatever I do...
18:01 I'm a good student in class.
18:04 I fail in my exams.
18:07 I fail in my exams.
18:10 I fail in my exams.

18:16 I fail in my exams.
18:19 But, I score good marks.
18:22 I score good marks in my exams.
18:25 I'm a good student in all the phases.
18:31 What kind of student are you?
18:34 I'm a worst student.
18:37 That's why I joined Viscom.
18:40 Otherwise, I would have been an engineer or a doctor.
18:43 What kind of mischief have you done as a student?
18:46 What kind of punishment have you received?
18:49 Punishment is getting beaten up in school.
18:52 Suspension is...
18:55 Suspension is okay.

20:12 I don't have a crush.

20:21 I don't see him as a crush material.

21:20 I've tanned here and there.

21:38 I moisturize and sleep.
21:41 I do the same thing in the morning.
21:44 You?
21:47 I've already said it.
21:50 You can go on.
21:53 I don't do anything.
21:56 What face wash do you use?
21:59 How do I say it?
22:02 Makeup and all.
22:05 I use face wash.
22:08 What do you use now?
22:11 I use Ayurvedic items.
22:14 That's skin care.
22:17 That's skin care?
22:20 You said earlier that they ask a lot of questions.
22:23 Now I know that they ask you questions.
22:26 They ask me questions like this.
22:36 I should be the first one to say this.
22:39 Yes, you said it last time.
22:42 I'm scared.
22:45 I'm scared of people at home.
22:48 If you're scared of people at home,
22:51 you're scared of something, right?
22:54 I'm scared of everything.
22:57 I'm sure you're scared.
23:00 If I tell you about that, you'll split up.
23:03 Ask me.
23:06 You said you're not scared.
23:09 I am scared.
23:12 You said you're scared of ghosts.
23:15 Yes.

23:21 No.
23:24 I'm alone at home.
23:27 I'll have a hangover for a week.
23:30 I'll be so influenced.
23:33 You'll go deep into the movie.
23:36 Yes.
23:39 I know the industry, the shots,
23:42 how they shoot,
23:45 but I'll be involved in the movie.
23:48 I'll be in a hangover for at least a week.
23:51 I won't watch horror movies.
23:54 Even if you don't watch horror movies,
23:57 are you scared when you're alone?
24:00 Yes.
24:03 I've seen it so many times.
24:06 I'm going to be a big topic this morning.
24:09 Me, GV sir, and Nikesh sir.
24:12 Do you watch horror movies?
24:15 I don't.
24:18 Are you scared of ghosts?
24:21 I've never seen one.
24:24 Next question.
24:27 Is she still watching?
24:30 You should say it.
24:41 Mamitha is asking me all the questions.
24:52 You should be her best friend.
24:55 Do you believe in love at first sight?
25:03 Yes.
25:06 Sometimes we get attracted to his behavior,
25:12 how he takes care of himself.
25:20 It's a one-sided love.
25:23 It's a bond.
25:26 After marriage,
25:33 love won't be a factor.
25:36 It's a bonding.
25:39 If parents are best friends,
25:42 it'll go smoothly.
25:45 You tell us.
25:49 Love should be like love.
25:52 You're asking me what love is.
25:55 You should be like love for that.
25:58 You're asking me how love should be?
26:01 To me, love is...
26:04 It's more important than life.
26:09 Love.
26:12 He's always so quiet.
26:15 He doesn't say anything.
26:18 Do you talk less when you explain the scene?
26:21 I do.
26:24 But it's impactful.
26:27 Last?
26:30 Sorry, there are two more.
26:33 Your favorite hero?
26:36 Ajith sir.
26:39 Your favorite hero?
26:42 I'll say it in Tamil.
26:45 Have you ever rejected a movie?
27:07 Or have you never regretted it?
27:10 I've rejected a few movies.
27:13 I've rejected a few movies.
27:16 Because of date issues.
27:19 But I've never regretted it.
27:22 I was confident in my decisions.
27:25 That's it?
27:37 You tell us.
27:40 You should tell us.
27:43 You're going to say 'Manjumal Boys'.
27:46 I like 'Manjumal Boys' and 'Sarpatta Parambarai'.
27:49 I like 'Manjumal Boys' and 'Sarpatta Parambarai'.
27:52 Why do you like these two movies?
27:55 One is friendship and the other is a completely different genre.
27:58 I like the making style of 'Sarpatta Parambarai'.
28:01 I like 'Manjumal Boys' because...
28:04 I worked as an assistant in a movie called 'Kalukku'.
