00:00No matter how the climate is, you have to act like a Sindhu.
00:04Straight forward Sindhu.
00:05Straight forward Sindhu.
00:07Don't make it caricature.
00:12Strong Sindhu.
00:13Strong. Straight forward, strong Sindhu.
00:15Yes. Strong Sindhu.
00:16Again it will rain.
00:18Again it will rain in the flowing water.
00:20Namaste to all the viewers of FilmBeat Kannada.
00:22I am Eshwant.
00:23I am currently in the promotion of Pepe film.
00:26And I had a small chat with Vinay Rajkumar.
00:29I need to talk to the heroine as well.
00:31So Kajal is with me today.
00:33Let's talk to her.
00:34Namaste Kajal. How are you?
00:35Namaste. I am good. How are you?
00:36I am good. Thank you so much.
00:38I have been with you in the promotion of many films.
00:42Yes. Definitely.
00:43I have been with you in your film journey.
00:45Yes. Yes. Definitely.
00:46That is why I told you.
00:47Bless me.
00:48I am a small boy.
00:50I will support you.
00:51Yes. Thank you so much.
00:52That is important.
00:53That is why I have given you the Pepe film as well.
00:55Thank you. Thank you so much.
00:56Yes.
00:57I was talking to Vinay Rajkumar.
00:59You are portraying Pepe in a different shade in your life.
01:04When you are in such a different shade,
01:07how is it for the heroine?
01:09How is the role of the heroine?
01:11There will be a lot of questions.
01:13How is it?
01:14How is your role in that shade?
01:17As far as I know, all the characters in Pepe are equally strong.
01:22Same goes for me.
01:24I am portraying Sindhu.
01:26He is very fierce and strong.
01:29Actually, he is a little opposite to my character.
01:32Because no one is afraid of him.
01:34He says what is in his mind without fear.
01:37He does not look at who is in front of him.
01:40He says what he thinks is right.
01:42So, I think he has shown a very good feminism angle.
01:46Because it is not like pseudo-feminism.
01:48Feminism is how it is required in today's society.
01:51He has shown that very well.
01:54I think it is okay in the city.
01:56We are talking about equality.
01:58But when we go to rural areas,
02:02there are no facilities like here.
02:05There is no perspective like here.
02:08So, the character of Sindhu stays very strong.
02:11He tells the concept to his family and his people.
02:17So, he is straightforward.
02:19Yes, very straightforward.
02:22I am not straightforward.
02:24I am a little scared.
02:26Unlike Sindhu.
02:28Sindhu is not afraid of anyone.
02:30I look up to Sindhu a lot.
02:33Sindhu can be a very good role model.
02:43Sindhu is not like Kajal.
02:45Kajal is a little soft.
02:47But she is soft.
02:50How much do you like Kajal?
02:54Actually, I am a little scared.
02:56But this is my second day.
02:58And they are very small and so cute.
03:00So, I like them.
03:02You are moving forward so well.
03:04Super, so strange.
03:06When Pepe came,
03:08he showed us a trailer.
03:10How the film will be.
03:12So, it was different.
03:14I was watching a Kannada film.
03:16Or a foreign language film.
03:19So, there is a mixture in the film.
03:21They have tried to make it different.
03:23They have tried to tell a story of our nativity.
03:27So, if we want to tell a story of our nativity,
03:29we have to show it in a neat way.
03:33So, when there is a challenge,
03:35you have to act as if you are there.
03:37How are the challenges for an actress?
03:41I think, since our director is there,
03:43there is authenticity.
03:45There is authenticity.
03:47So, there is no compromise in that.
03:51Even for us,
03:53on set,
03:55I think,
03:57I was with my family,
03:59the on-screen family.
04:01Even off-screen also,
04:03we used to sit and talk.
04:05After my shot,
04:07I used to go to the van.
04:09Everyone used to sit together,
04:11talk about the film,
04:13A lot of people are theatre artists.
04:15So, that helped me a lot.
04:17Because, I need a lot of rehearsals.
04:19My language gets cut.
04:21So, I rehearse a lot
04:23so that I don't create problems for others.
04:25So, Sandhya akka,
04:27Satish sir,
04:29Aruna ma'am,
04:31I asked them a lot of times,
04:33to rehearse once,
04:35but they never said no.
04:37So, that helped me a lot.
04:39Other challenges,
04:41we used to shoot in the rain.
04:45Coorg is a very cold place.
04:47So, it was raining.
04:49You have to be emotional,
04:51or angry,
04:53or frustrated.
04:55In real life,
04:57you can't be like that.
05:01But, it's fun.
05:03No matter how the climate is,
05:05you have to act.
05:07Straightforward Sindhu.
05:09Don't make it a caricature.
05:15Strong Sindhu.
05:21Yes, that's Sindhu.
05:23That is Sindhu.
05:25Now, I'm talking to Kajal.
05:31You've done a lot of films,
05:33like Love Subject,
05:35etc.
05:37How different is Sindhu?
05:39How special is she?
05:41She's very different.
05:43In Bond Ravi,
05:45she's very innocent.
05:47But, she has a climax.
05:49She has a thought,
05:51an intention.
05:53In KTM, she's very simple,
05:55very sweet.
05:57So, Sindhu is very different
05:59from those two characters.
06:01Since I'm a theatre artist,
06:03we've done a lot of different characters
06:05with depth.
06:07But, you don't get that
06:09in cinema.
06:11But, I got that from Sindhu.
06:13There was a variation in the character.
06:15I was very happy about that.
06:19When I auditioned,
06:21I auditioned for a pre-climax scene.
06:23When I explained that scene,
06:25I got an idea that
06:27this character has gone through some journey
06:29and that's why she's like this.
06:31There's a variation.
06:33There are emotions
06:35full of emotions.
06:37She's a strong character.
06:39I'm very happy.
06:41As an actress,
06:43there's a variation in the graphs.
06:45There's a need to win.
06:47There's a need to take the graph.
06:49On one hand,
06:51there's cinema.
06:53On the other hand,
06:55there's a need to win.
06:57How choosy are you
06:59when it comes to choosing a film?
07:01What's the need to win?
07:05To be very honest,
07:07when we're new,
07:09we don't get a lot of script offers.
07:11Because we don't know anyone.
07:13Until some of our films come out
07:15and are appreciated.
07:17So, I can't sit at home
07:19and say, I will choose amongst.
07:21So, first few films,
07:23films choose you,
07:25rather than you choosing the film.
07:27We don't have a selection.
07:29But also,
07:31you can, in some way.
07:35I'm not saying about budget.
07:37I'm only saying character perspective.
07:43It's a leap of faith.
07:45It's a very dicey moment.
07:47There's a need to work.
07:49But there's also a need
07:51to choose a character.
07:53So, what do you choose?
07:55If you don't get recognition,
07:57if you don't win,
07:59what do you feel?
08:03It's a way of life.
08:05We can't decide everything.
08:07You can't sign a film
08:09and say, it will be a success.
08:11Because no one can calculate it.
08:13Especially in today's day.
08:15No one can say, this film is a hit,
08:17this film is a flop,
08:19before releasing.
08:21It's all in audience and God's hand.
08:23We have to choose the best film,
08:25the best characters.
08:27It's up to us.
08:29If we do it honestly,
08:31that's all I know.
08:33So, it's a good work that
08:35gives us recognition.
08:37I think, I feel.
08:41In this film,
08:43apart from one song,
08:45there's a folk style song.
08:47How is that?
08:49How many songs are there
08:51in this film?
08:53There are no songs.
08:55It's mostly ambience related.
08:57You saw the pre-set song.
08:59It's very authentic,
09:01very true to the story.
09:03It's not a romantic song,
09:05or an individual song.
09:07The hero of the story
09:09is the story itself.
09:13There are no individual songs.
09:15It's all ambience related,
09:17story related,
09:19Superb!
09:21We are in the age of social media.
09:23When it comes to social media,
09:25whether we do good or bad,
09:27people comment.
09:29So, whatever we do,
09:31we get negative comments.
09:33Have you experienced
09:35such things?
09:37I think,
09:39I'm too new to it.
09:41But,
09:43without reason,
09:45I get direct messages
09:47from people.
09:49So, I don't block.
09:51I don't think much.
09:53It should be stress-free for you.
09:55If you don't like me,
09:57it's okay to block.
09:59It wasn't like that
10:01before the industry.
10:03After the industry came,
10:05I got messages.
10:07I'm less active on social media.
10:09People are afraid of me.
10:11But, if I have a problem,
10:13I'll block.
10:15Now, it's okay.
10:17It's normal.
10:19But, in the starting days,
10:21you might get negative comments.
10:23Obviously, it happens.
10:25I think,
10:27more than Instagram,
10:29some interviews on YouTube
10:31or comments on normal videos
10:33are bad.
10:35You can't block there.
10:37It's hard to read your comments.
10:39Do you read comments?
10:41Yes, I do.
10:43Sometimes, it happens.
10:45But, life goes on.
10:47If it's constructive criticism,
10:49I can take it.
10:51I can improve.
10:53But, if it's random,
10:55based on your looks,
10:57how can I improve?
10:59How many accounts
11:01can you block on Instagram?
11:03I don't know.
11:05I think,
11:0710-15 accounts.
11:09I don't have a problem
11:11with that.
11:13Now, back to Pepe.
11:17Pepe's film is
11:19your 4th film.
11:21But,
11:23you're getting back-to-back films.
11:25And, you're watching them.
11:27You're getting introduced to the
11:29Kannada industry.
11:31You have a big family.
11:33You have a good background.
11:35How do you settle?
11:37Because, we know
11:39you're a director.
11:41You're a new director.
11:43How do you settle?
11:45Everyone knows about Vinay sir.
11:47He's very calm and composed.
11:49I've never seen him
11:51demand for anything.
11:53Even if he doesn't have a chair,
11:55he adjusts it.
11:57He's calm and composed.
11:59But, he's also silently strong.
12:01No one can play with him.
12:03No one can take him lightly.
12:05He tells him what he wants.
12:07He's not demanding.
12:09He's calm.
12:11He doesn't trouble anyone.
12:13I don't think he's troubling anyone.
12:15So, how do you learn from him?
12:19To be composed, I think.
12:21No matter what the situation is.
12:23Be calm.
12:27Breathe.
12:29Be calm. Everything will be fine.
12:33To lead a healthy life,
12:35what do you do every day?
12:39Physical exercise.
12:41At least 10-20 minutes run
12:43or outdoor walk.
12:45Meditation, I would recommend.
12:47It helped me a lot.
12:53If you can dance,
12:55not proper steps,
12:57just play music and dance.
12:59Physical activity.
13:01It frees your mind.
13:03Maybe that.
13:05Also, journaling helped.
13:07If you have a lot of thoughts,
13:09because we can't tell everything to everyone.
13:11So, if we get a little thought,
13:13it gets sorted in our head.
13:17Then also, after a few years,
13:19you can look back and wonder
13:21why you were so frustrated.
13:23Daily?
13:25Not daily.
13:27But, if you get frustrated,
13:29you'll get it.
13:31I think, since 2018.
13:35No, not more than that.
13:37Maybe around 3 years.
13:39200 pages?
13:41Maybe.
13:45So, you remember everything
13:47from the time of Corona?
13:49No, because our profession is like that.
13:51It's not stable.
13:53We have to deal with a lot of different people.
13:55Our journey is not smooth.
13:57Different kind of people,
13:59different kind of experience.
14:01It happens.
14:03So, once you sit down and open everything.
14:05No, that's not for anyone.
14:07No one is allowed.
14:09I'll also be on one page.
14:11One page for each film.
14:13Okay, definitely.
14:15Today only I'll go and write.
14:17It's not like that.
14:19We'll talk about the people
14:21who traumatize us.
14:23After a few years,
14:25when you left me,
14:27I was like,
14:29are you coming?
14:31No, no, no.
14:33Just joking.
14:35Pepe, you're ready for the release.
14:37So, your fourth film.
14:39A film that people expect.
14:41A film that everyone expects.
14:43It's ready for release.
14:45Can you give an invitation to the audience?
14:47We tried to make a new kind of film.
14:49Our director is new.
14:51Our artists are also new.
14:53A few people are new.
14:55So, when the audience accepts
14:57a different attempt,
14:59even more new people get confidence.
15:01New filmmakers,
15:03new producers.
15:05They get confidence.
15:07We can make money for this.
15:09We can make a film.
15:11Even more artists,
15:13off-screen technicians
15:15get jobs.
15:17Now, there are talks
15:19that Kannada cinema
15:21doesn't have good content.
15:23When good content comes,
15:25please give us a chance.
15:27If you like it,
15:29it's good for all of us.
15:31Please give us a chance.
15:33Pepe will definitely
15:35give you a new experience.
15:37Pepe will be with you
15:39from 30th August.
15:41Thank you so much
15:43for taking the time
15:45to talk to us.
15:47We need your support
15:49to make this film.
15:51Thank you so much.
15:53You saw how Pepe
15:55talked about cinema.
15:57On 30th August,
15:59come to your nearest theatre
16:01and watch Pepe.
