00:00I'm doing a thriller now
00:02People come to see a film and say
00:04I didn't become like Dhrishyam
00:06I'm not Dhrishyam to become like Dhrishyam
00:08For me, it's a serious story
00:10with a lot of short cuts
00:12In that itself, it was a lot of humor
00:14He was saying it seriously, but I laughed a lot
00:16If you tell the total story,
00:18you won't understand, Vinu
00:20That's true
00:22Vilalettan says, Jithu sir is very serious
00:24He is very much into the process
00:26Do you know why Vilalettan said that?
00:28I know the reason
00:30When he gets there, he goes to someone
00:32and says, I can't go there and play
00:34So, with a lot of pride, I say,
00:36I don't know who you are
00:38That's the difference
00:40How is Jithu sir in real life?
00:42That's a very good question
00:44He always turns into a criminal
00:46I don't know anything about that
00:48When I was working on Thiralakkam,
00:50Salim Kumar was performing with everyone
00:52When some scenes came, we didn't laugh
00:54There were people who didn't laugh
00:56I tried to imitate that
00:58or do what my father did
01:00I tried
01:02I didn't try that much
01:04When I took that photo,
01:06I had a memory
01:08When I was shooting L316,
01:10I went to tell the scene
01:12I thought, how long will it take
01:14I was talking and someone took a photo
01:16When you spoke with Dilipettan,
01:18did you have to talk about a movie?
01:20I had a thought
01:22I had a thought
01:24Ask the producer
01:26Standard question, standard answer
01:34Today we have some untold stories
01:36On August 15th,
01:38Jithu Joseph and I will be doing
01:40Nodakuri Theatre
01:42We have Vinu Pappu, Jithu Joseph,
01:44Krishan Kumar and Saiju Kurum
01:46Welcome to all four of you
01:48Who was the best Nodakuri
01:50you have seen in your life?
01:52Shahrukh Khan
01:54Shahrukh Khan
01:56You are laughing
01:58How much has the real Nodakuri
02:00been facilitated
02:02to come to this name?
02:04That Nodakuri and this Nodakuri
02:06have no connection
02:08This Nodakuri is
02:10a story of people who lie
02:12and jump into a pit
02:14That is the story
02:16There is no connection with the other Nodakuri
02:18There is only one connection
02:20There is a cuteness in the name
02:22There is a cuteness in the lies
02:24and problems the characters tell
02:26During the time of My Boss
02:28there was a rumor
02:30that if people laugh,
02:32it will work
02:34When Jithu Joseph's films come
02:36if it is a thriller,
02:38it should always be compared
02:40with old memories
02:42When it comes to dramas,
02:44it should always be compared
02:46with Life of Joseph, Tatum or Mummy and Me
02:48It should not be compared with new films
02:50It should always be there
02:52I still don't understand
02:54When I make a thriller,
02:56I compare it with Dhrishyam
02:58Dhrishyam is a different story
03:00I compare it with Nodakuri
03:02and My Boss
03:04Both are totally different
03:06stories
03:10Why do you need a comparison?
03:12Did this particular product entertain you?
03:14Did you like it?
03:16When I make a thriller,
03:18people say
03:20it is not like Dhrishyam
03:22I am not Dhrishyam to be like Dhrishyam
03:24It doesn't make sense
03:26I don't understand it
03:28So, Nodakuri is a totally
03:30different kind of cinema
03:32It is a fun cinema
03:34with a pattern that I haven't done
03:36You don't have to give
03:38a lot of seriousness
03:40You don't have to look at the logic
03:42When you are at home,
03:44if you are stressed,
03:46you can come to the theatre
03:48with popcorn
03:50They will entertain you
03:52for 2-2.5 hours
03:54What is the role of a co-writer
03:56in a Jithu Jo's film?
03:58As you said,
04:00if I had a writer,
04:02I would be very adventurous
04:04I would work on two topics
04:06How did it come to Nodakuri?
04:08Who is asking?
04:10Only two people
04:12He told me a story
04:14I wrote a script
04:16Naturally,
04:18there will be improvisations
04:20in the characters
04:22My films have that freedom
04:24Especially for a humour film,
04:26it is very necessary
04:28There are things written by Krishnamurthy
04:30There is a dialogue in it
04:32Let me change it
04:34We will discuss it
04:36As a script, it is a solid thing
04:38that Krishnamurthy wrote
04:40Let me tell you the truth
04:42The main role of this film
04:44was given to Krishnamurthy
04:46who acted in it
04:48In my opinion,
04:50it is not a film
04:52that needs to be shot
04:54It is not that kind of a film
04:56The script and performance
04:58are the background
05:00As a filmmaker,
05:02I incorporated
05:04small ideas
05:06What was your idea
05:08when you came to Krishnamurthy?
05:10He told me
05:12what my character is
05:14He said,
05:16you won't be able to understand
05:18the whole story
05:20It is true
05:22If you picture it,
05:24you will be able to understand
05:26the connections between the characters
05:28It is a long story
05:30I will tell you about Binnu
05:32You just have to understand it
05:34Krishnamurthy told me
05:36his own story
05:38It was humorous
05:40He was being serious
05:42I laughed a lot
05:44There is a lot of content
05:46There is a matter
05:48that entertains us
05:50He told me my character
05:52I didn't have any other character
05:54No, he told you two
05:56He told you the possibilities
05:58Yes, he told me the possibilities
06:00I am a dentist
06:02I asked him,
06:04do you have a habit
06:06to fix your character?
06:08He said,
06:10it is a joke
06:12People will be surprised
06:14when they watch the movie
06:16When you show the trailer,
06:18all the characters
06:20have a caricatured character
06:22When you show the trailer,
06:24all the characters
06:26have a caricatured character
06:28All the characters
06:30have a caricatured character
06:32Don't compare it with a movie
06:34It has a caricatured character
06:36When I told this to Jithu,
06:38I told him
06:40that all the characters
06:42and their behavior
06:44are exaggerated
06:46In real life,
06:48there is a little more exaggeration
06:50than normal people's behavior
06:52That is the fun of it
06:54All the characters have that
06:56We started with Basil
06:58All the characters
07:00have that exaggerated behavior
07:02If you feel that in the trailer,
07:04that means
07:06that part was a success
07:08If the audience
07:10took it in that form
07:12That is why Jithu said
07:14that you should not look at
07:16the logic or twist of the story
07:18This is a ride
07:20that is totally fun
07:22to entertain you
07:24That is how we worked
07:26When you look at the trailer,
07:28there are stills of four characters
07:30These four characters
07:32have nothing to do with each other
07:34That is how it is
07:36If you look at the trailer,
07:38there are three characters
07:40Those three characters
07:42have nothing to do with each other
07:44These characters have nothing
07:46to do with each other
07:48If this hadn't happened today,
07:50they wouldn't have even met
07:52in real life
07:54That is the structure
07:56of the screenplay
07:58I have a question for you
08:00You said that Jithu sir
08:02is very serious
08:04and approaches the process
08:06Is he really like that
08:08when making a humorous film?
08:10I did Twelfth Man
08:12It was a thriller genre
08:14I didn't feel that
08:16he was very serious
08:18and humorous
08:20when making a thriller
08:22He approached the trailer
08:24as he would approach a thriller
08:26He is serious about the process
08:28Otherwise,
08:30he wouldn't have
08:32laughed as much
08:34that way
08:36I know why you are talking
08:38about Lalettan
08:40He can't go out
08:42and mess with people
08:44We have a lot of respect for him
08:46We have a lot of respect for him
08:48I have only seen his face
08:50I didn't have the same respect for him as a senior actor.
08:53When I did Bodhi, Rishi sir, I treated him like a father.
09:01It was a big deal for me.
09:02So, I decided to move away from that respect and affection.
09:09I did it when Lal sir said a joke.
09:10But when I went there to make fun of Lal sir, I understood.
09:14But I couldn't make fun of them.
09:16That's why I only saw that side of Lal sir.
09:19I used to make fun of him a lot.
09:21People always talk about it on social media.
09:26A person like Mybose is making such a toothful thriller.
09:32How would Jithu Joseph be in real life?
09:35Basically, I like fun.
09:37I am an ordinary person who watches comedy programs whenever I get time.
09:45I don't know when I become a criminal.
09:50It's a big deal to give transformation to actors.
09:54Like you said, you can make Prajoth Kalappan a villain in Dictative.
10:00Or you can make Sri Kumar play a role in Memories.
10:03These are not conventional activities.
10:07I really enjoy that process.
10:09I have a habit. I don't know if it's good or bad.
10:12When someone tells me not to do something like that, I try to do it.
10:17Like you said, there was a time when I was told not to shoot people on TV.
10:22I casted Asha Sarath in that film.
10:27In a film I took, I told her that I was a new art director.
10:35I started calling her.
10:37One or two people came and told me that she was a troublemaker.
10:41When they came to me, I casted her.
10:43Because she had a certain quality that they didn't like.
10:47I casted her.
10:49I did two or three more films with her.
10:51Like Sathish Kurupp in Unlucky Cameraman.
10:53Exactly.
10:55One person told me that Sathish was an unlucky cameraman.
11:00I went to Bangalore with Sathish for the first time.
11:06When we were in Bangalore, we used to stop and talk.
11:12I asked Sathish, why did you cast me in Unlucky Cameraman?
11:17He told me that I was an unlucky cameraman.
11:21Sathish didn't know that.
11:23He had never heard of me.
11:25That's why he called me.
11:27I don't believe in that.
11:29One person told me that.
11:32The reason for that is...
11:34I have said this in many interviews.
11:36When I was in college and wanted to become a filmmaker,
11:41I interviewed Mahesh Bhatt.
11:47He asked me, do you have any message for the budding directors?
11:54Shekhar Kapoor said,
11:57if you want to be a successful director,
11:59go against the rules of the industry.
12:01There are no rules for this.
12:03Some people make rules.
12:05You have to go against those rules.
12:07I remember that in Malayalam cinema,
12:11in the new generation,
12:13there are people who do comedy,
12:15there are people who do hero.
12:17You have to mix all these things.
12:19The hero has to do a villainous act.
12:22When it comes to that,
12:24how can a filmmaker and a writer
12:26bring a story back in many ways?
12:28Another thing is,
12:30when a person comes and says,
12:32comedy has started,
12:34because he is a comedian.
12:36They are all actors.
12:38I want to see it that way.
12:40I am trying to make my cinema work.
12:42How was the discussion about
12:44the humanly aspect in Negativity?
12:47The character of the villain
12:49is not a lady.
12:51It is a person.
12:53When we talked about it,
12:55we thought we could
12:57put a new face to many artists.
12:59After doing some auditions
13:01for a new face,
13:03we came to Hanna Raji
13:05without satisfying ourselves.
13:07When you come to a set,
13:09the atmosphere of the set
13:11is very different from
13:13what we are used to.
13:16How did you come across Jithu sir's set?
13:20I worked with him for the first time.
13:24I didn't feel it was a set
13:26that I didn't know.
13:28I worked with Satheesh sir.
13:30I worked with Shaijun.
13:32There were a lot of people
13:34I knew there.
13:36Were there any moments
13:38when you improvised and
13:40went over the top?
13:42When we were told that
13:44we were going to shoot a film,
13:46we were given total freedom.
13:48We were given the freedom
13:50to improvise.
13:52If we improvised well,
13:54the director would shoot it.
13:56If not, the director would decide
13:58whether to reduce or increase it.
14:00How did you judge the
14:02meter of humor?
14:04It was a gut feeling.
14:06When I worked as an assistant director
14:08for a film called Thiralakkam,
14:11when we performed live
14:13at the location,
14:15Salim Kumar and others
14:17were there.
14:19We laughed a lot.
14:21Some saints came and
14:23we didn't laugh much.
14:25When we saw the theatre,
14:27people didn't laugh
14:29for a lot of things we laughed at.
14:31People laughed a lot
14:33for things we didn't laugh at.
14:35We couldn't properly judge it.
14:37In many perspectives,
14:40I think humor is received
14:42in different ways.
14:44When we see something,
14:46we laugh at it,
14:48then we look around
14:50to see if they are laughing.
14:52Krishnamurthy came and
14:54told me a story.
14:56This is the basic thought
14:58of real life.
15:00Krishnamurthy developed
15:02this script.
15:04He told me the story.
15:06I laughed a lot.
15:08She laughed a little.
15:10I asked Krishnamurthy to
15:12look at the script.
15:14It was a feedback.
15:16When we ask people
15:18it's not about humor.
15:20It's about necessity.
15:22I'm doing this film
15:24not for my satisfaction
15:26but for others.
15:28It's foolish to believe
15:30that our judgment is always
15:32correct.
15:34That's why I'm taking feedback.
15:36As a director,
15:38I have a conviction.
15:40Otherwise,
15:42I'll jump from one place to another.
15:44After hearing all this,
15:46I'll say it's fixed.
15:48I thought in many ways.
15:50We started shooting.
15:52It was the first time
15:54I came out without
15:56finalizing a proper climax.
15:58I discussed with Krishnamurthy.
16:00I wrote the basic script.
16:02Krishnamurthy told me
16:04that I don't get a proper judgment.
16:06Krishnamurthy gave me an idea.
16:08I liked the idea.
16:10I told him I didn't care
16:12much about the scripting.
16:14But this film
16:16doesn't need logic.
16:20He told me
16:22it was okay.
16:24I believed him.
16:26After shooting,
16:28I realized
16:30he was right.
16:32Sometimes,
16:34it happens.
16:36Especially for humour.
16:38We can never say
16:40it will work.
16:42We watched a film.
16:44We liked it.
16:46When we relayed it
16:48to people who hadn't seen it,
16:50they gave their feedback.
16:52They said it was good.
16:54We followed that.
16:56There are big stars like Akshay Kumar.
16:58When he does comedy,
17:00people see it as a simplified version.
17:02They don't say it's comedy.
17:04He says humour is always a secondary version.
17:06As a maker,
17:08what do you think?
17:10Is humour a secondary version?
17:12No.
17:14Humour is the most difficult.
17:16If you want to change it
17:18to humour,
17:20you need a serious film.
17:22If you want to change it
17:24to a humourous film,
17:26you need humour.
17:28Humour is our goal.
17:30But in some serious films,
17:32if you do humour,
17:34people say it's not humour.
17:36It won't work.
17:38An actor performing
17:40a serious role
17:42or doing an action film
17:44is humourous.
17:46I don't understand people
17:48who say it's not humour.
17:50Humour is the most difficult
17:52to act.
17:54A good humourous artist
17:56can do any character.
17:58But not everyone can do it.
18:00There are good actors
18:02who can do humour.
18:04There are people who can't do it.
18:06That's a different story.
18:08Humour is not easy.
18:10If we take the prominent
18:12characters of Malayalam cinema,
18:14their humourous films
18:16connect us to them.
18:18Whether it's
18:20Pappu chettan,
18:22Odigal Unnikrishan chettan,
18:24Veni chettan,
18:26all of them
18:28are legends in Malayalam cinema.
18:30We see their humour.
18:32It's their humour that
18:34connects us to them.
18:36They have done many other roles.
18:38But humour is a big part
18:40of connecting an artist
18:42to the audience.
18:44It's very difficult to do humour.
18:46It's difficult to write humour
18:48and make people laugh.
18:50It's difficult to perform it
18:52and make the audience laugh.
18:54It's not an easy task.
18:56It's like a backfire.
18:58It's a big problem.
19:00You have to be careful.
19:02What kind of a comedy is that?
19:06Like you said,
19:08it still has an impact.
19:10Wherever you go,
19:12there's a recognition
19:14of the humour.
19:16It's registered.
19:18It's a big responsibility
19:20They take it very responsibly.
19:22Yes, they do.
19:24If it's a humour character,
19:26there will always be a comparison.
19:28I'm very scared of that.
19:30I think Vinu is the first one
19:32to do a throater humour.
19:34Yes, he does a throater humour.
19:36It's a responsibility.
19:38I'm scared of the comparison.
19:40We do it in our own way.
19:42We try to imitate it
19:44or do it in the way
19:46my father did.
19:48That's what I'm trying to do.
19:50It won't work.
19:52Have you ever thought
19:54of not doing it?
19:56No, I've never thought of it.
19:58Like you said,
20:00every artist
20:02wants to do humour.
20:04Whether it's a hero,
20:06a villain,
20:08people who do humour
20:10are very connected to them.
20:12They're very close to them.
20:14You'll understand
20:16when you see the artists
20:18who do humour.
20:20The clips on Instagram
20:22and the comedy clips
20:24don't get much recognition.
20:26It's because of the humour.
20:28Do you like to make people laugh
20:30or cry?
20:32How is the process
20:34of making a film?
20:36How do you get the audience
20:38into it?
20:40It's entertainment.
20:42If we entertain a film,
20:44I like all the films
20:46that are a hit.
20:48A film is a hit
20:50when a majority of people like it.
20:52When I hear a story,
20:54I think it might work
20:56if I entertain myself.
20:58But we are humans.
21:00We can make mistakes.
21:02Not all my films are a hit.
21:04Some of them are a hit.
21:06It happens.
21:08When Krishnamoorthy narrated
21:10the film, I got an entertainment
21:12that made me laugh.
21:14That means
21:16that it's a
21:18full fun
21:20comedy-entertainer.
21:24Another thing is
21:26Jithu Yosef
21:28is a brand now.
21:30If he's a debutant,
21:32he'll go for
21:34a good script
21:36and make it well.
21:38But Jithu
21:40has already
21:42attempted many genres.
21:44I've already
21:46worked with him in 12th Man.
21:48There are many factors.
21:50Krishnamoorthy wrote 12th Man.
21:52I'm working with both of them
21:54for the second time.
21:56I have that confidence.
21:58I've done 75% of the job.
22:00There were people
22:02who said that
22:04our character should
22:06not be repetitive.
22:08How much
22:10does Jithu Yosef
22:12have a touch in Promo Materials?
22:14Is it iconic
22:16from Mummy Annie?
22:18That poster and trailer?
22:20Promo Materials?
22:22I don't think
22:24it has a big touch.
22:26It's a collective thing.
22:28When we design a poster,
22:30we give it to everyone.
22:32We give it to Krishnamoorthy
22:34and to our team.
22:36It's a collective poster.
22:38Everyone likes it.
22:40There might be some differences.
22:42We give it to everyone.
22:44It's a collective thing.
22:46When I did Mummy Annie,
22:48I didn't have many people
22:50who could give me feedback.
22:52I didn't come from
22:54a film background.
22:56My second film
22:58is based on
23:00our basic idea
23:02and gut feeling.
23:04After so many years,
23:06there is a change
23:08in the generation.
23:10We can see it.
23:12But I can't
23:14change 100%
23:16according to their taste.
23:18We can make small changes.
23:20How do we do that?
23:22We can see their
23:24films and
23:26communicate with them.
23:28That's how
23:30we can work
23:32on that.
23:34Krishnamoorthy is writing
23:36for another film.
23:38It's not mine.
23:40It's a script.
23:42Krishnamoorthy is a youngster.
23:44He is talking to young people.
23:46It's their language.
23:48That's how it is.
23:50Do you know when
23:52the film was born?
23:54We mingled with
23:56ordinary people
23:58and slowly changed our lifestyle.
24:00When we moved to a 5-star hotel,
24:02we got in touch with them.
24:04Then,
24:06we lost that old beauty.
24:08We lost that connection.
24:10We shouldn't do that.
24:12When we travel through
24:14ordinary people,
24:16we get a pulse.
24:18That's very important.
24:20The promotional material
24:22is to discuss
24:24as a team.
24:26The trailer for Karmineer
24:28was very important for the film.
24:30It was a very promising trailer.
24:32When people still see
24:34the trailer for My Boss,
24:36they say,
24:38there's a film in it.
24:40We'll have a first cut
24:42of the trailer.
24:44I sent the trailer
24:46to Krishnamoorthy,
24:48Basil and
24:50some of my friends.
24:52They gave feedback.
24:54My brother's son
24:56said, there's something missing in it.
24:58Krishnamoorthy's kids
25:00liked it.
25:02My daughter said so.
25:04So, we're taking feedback from
25:06young people.
25:08That's how we cut it.
25:10We don't make a decision.
25:12Before we conclude,
25:14a question for Ram.
25:16Ask the producer.
25:18There was an update
25:20about the promotion of
25:22Level Cross.
25:24Standard question,
25:26standard answer.
25:28I've been saying this for a long time.
25:30We're all ready.
25:32When the producer is ready,
25:34we'll do it.
25:36When we spoke to Dileep,
25:38he said, don't delay too much.
25:40People will forget.
25:42Is there a film like that
25:44in Padipura?
25:46It's in Allogene.
25:48It's in Allogene.
25:50That's all I can say.
25:52It's not just a script.
25:54It's a project.
25:56It's in Allogene.
25:58It's in Allogene.
26:00A photo of yours
26:02was a trend.
26:04A photo of Lalitha.
26:06I'll change the subject.
26:12What was in your mind
26:14when you took that photo?
26:16I didn't go to take it.
26:18In your childhood?
26:20In my childhood,
26:22when we were shooting in Kolkata,
26:24I took a photo with Athan.
26:26When we were shooting L316,
26:28I went to tell him about the scene.
26:30I told him about the scene.
26:32I said, this is what we're shooting.
26:34He was like,
26:36how long are you going to take it?
26:38We were talking and
26:40someone took a photo from there.
26:42I had both of them.
26:44It was after so many years.
26:46I didn't go to take a photo.
26:48I didn't go to take a photo.
26:50As I said,
26:52Nodakuzhi is coming to theatres
26:54on August 15th.
26:56I wish you all well.
26:58The audience didn't get disappointed
27:00by Ajith Joseph's films.
27:02I wish the same for Nodakuzhi.
27:04Thank you for the time being.
