00:01Which character do you like the most, Gandhi or Jeevan?
00:04I like Jeevan the most.
00:05Jeevan?
00:08When I was shooting this, I was so excited.
00:12When I was shooting this, I was so excited.
00:15Vijay sir has played D.I.J.
00:17That's Vijay sir.
00:18Vijay sir?
00:19Yes, Vijay sir.
00:20We have only touched his face.
00:21Okay.
00:22There is no other character.
00:25The reason why I am talking about this so innocently is
00:28There are two characters.
00:29A father and a son.
00:30The son is like a snake.
00:31The son is like a snake.
00:32He is a psychic.
00:33He is a lion.
00:34He is a lion.
00:35So there is a quarry between the two.
00:37He does both.
00:38But Vijay sir is totally the same.
00:40He has shown something on this scale.
00:44In the climax, he will hit and say that he is old.
00:47We kept it like this.
00:49He will call the camera and say, come here.
00:52He will do all this as a fan's moment.
00:59Vijay sir has never used dupes.
01:01Recently, we saw a wound on his hand.
01:03When did it happen?
01:04Normally, when he trips, he trips twice.
01:07Bike, bike.
01:08I fell down.
01:10Everyone will get worried.
01:12I got worried.
01:13I thought it was a heart attack.
01:17There was blood on my hand.
01:19I was always the first aid.
01:21I was always the first aid.
01:22I said, let's not shoot today.
01:23Let's do it tomorrow.
01:24Why?
01:25Don't do that.
01:2610 minutes.
01:2710 minutes.
01:2810 minutes.
01:29Let's take blood.
01:30Let's do it tomorrow.
01:31No problem.
01:32So many people are waiting.
01:33What is this?
01:34Nothing.
01:35It will be fine.
01:36I said that.
01:39Shooting has to happen daily.
01:40Don't stop shooting for me.
01:42I am tensed.
01:44Nothing.
01:45Leave it.
01:46Nothing.
01:47Nothing.
01:48It will be fine.
01:49It will be fine.
01:50That's it.
01:51That is Vijay sir.
01:52That is Thalapathy.
01:56Especially the opening scene of the movie.
01:58It was like the intro of a Hollywood movie.
02:00When Vijay Gandhi sir's portion came,
02:02we thought we could do it with someone else.
02:04We didn't know who it was.
02:06Our faces were all over the place.
02:08Vijay sir didn't agree.
02:09That's why I did it.
02:13We were shooting another sequence.
02:14Actually, the movie was over.
02:16The movie was almost over.
02:17He left at 1 o'clock at night for that shot.
02:21For that one shot.
02:27Greetings to all the viewers of One India Tamil.
02:29I am Ranjith Kannan.
02:31September 5th.
02:32Vijay Nadi Pillai Venkat Prabhu film has been released.
02:36There are positive reviews for the movie.
02:38The biggest plus in the movie is the action scenes.
02:42The stunt master who created the action scenes,
02:44Dilip Subrahan is with us.
02:46Let's ask him about the movie.
02:48Greetings master.
02:49Greetings.
02:50How are you?
02:51I am good. How are you?
02:52First of all, congratulations.
02:54We have seen Vijay sir in many action movies.
02:57You have shown him in a different dimension.
03:02First of all, congratulations.
03:05Before we talk about the movie,
03:07did you watch FDFS?
03:08I did.
03:09Where did you see it?
03:10I saw it in Kamala.
03:11I saw it in the edit.
03:13I saw it in AGS last night.
03:19There are many differences between shooting a movie in a shooting spot and seeing it in a theater with fans.
03:26How was that moment?
03:28How did they appreciate your work?
03:30When I shot it, it was a fan-buy moment.
03:32When you shot it?
03:33Yes.
03:34I knew that it would be a hit.
03:36I knew that the theater would go wild.
03:39When it worked, it worked.
03:41Plus, I designed everything beforehand.
03:44We had a separate storyboard for each sequence.
03:53It was like a pre-production.
03:55It was a strong pre-production.
03:57I didn't do any other movie when I shot this one.
04:00There are two heads.
04:02I wanted to show both of them.
04:05When we were doing this movie, they said it was the last one.
04:10We still want to do it.
04:14This movie should be a milestone in action.
04:18That's why I did it.
04:20It was V.P. sir's space.
04:23He could do whatever he wanted.
04:26V.P. sir, the artists, the production team supported us.
04:32It was a movie that everyone could talk about.
04:36We did a lot of pre-production for each sequence.
04:41There is a lot of CG.
04:45CG means we didn't create it in 3D.
04:47We did it in composite.
04:49So, we knew where to connect visually.
04:52So, we designed everything.
04:54We designed all the sequences and shot them.
04:57Is this the first movie you worked with V.P. sir?
05:00No, I did it with Mangatha.
05:02Mangatha did the silver master.
05:05He did 80% of the silver master.
05:08I did 20%.
05:10We worked together.
05:12He asked me to do custody.
05:14Captain Miller was going to do custody.
05:17I couldn't do long dates.
05:19So, we worked together in this movie.
05:22I knew V.P. sir since I was young.
05:25I knew him when I worked as an AD.
05:27He had seen me since I was young.
05:29This movie is special because
05:31V.P. sir gave me a lot of space.
05:34So, we worked together as a family.
05:38Did you take more days to work on this movie?
05:41Or was it 128 days?
05:43Yes.
05:44There were two people.
05:46If I didn't shoot him for 5 days,
05:49I would shoot him for 5 days.
05:52Many people had doubts.
05:54Was he the one who came in the train?
05:58The one with the helmet?
06:00Yes.
06:01Even if you do this for Body Double,
06:04the body language won't come properly.
06:08If I were to differ both of them,
06:13my father is a lion.
06:15My son is a snake.
06:17That's why my son has a small movement.
06:21So, I had to keep both of them as animals.
06:25The king and the snake.
06:27That's how I planned it.
06:29My son has a different short division.
06:33He is a psychic.
06:35He doesn't know where the camera will go.
06:38My father is always straight.
06:40I had to plan many things in action.
06:43I used technology in action.
06:46I used old technology.
06:48Like Lion vs Snake?
06:50Yes.
06:51I used a flexible bolt.
06:55I used the old double action technique.
06:59I used both of them.
07:02I used many invisible cuts.
07:05You can see the single shot.
07:07I used both of them in the same frame.
07:10I used a lot of edit points.
07:13Before this, you had worked with Vijay sir
07:16in films like Jilla, Puli, Thiri.
07:19The first film I worked with Vijay sir
07:22The reason I came to cinema was Vijay sir.
07:27How?
07:28Was it because of your father?
07:30I went for a shoot once.
07:32It was a Tamil film.
07:34I had a different mindset.
07:36But I worked with Ajith sir first.
07:38Vijay sir came in as an inspiration.
07:41Both of us were inspired.
07:43I wanted to ask you about that.
07:45Your father did Rasingan and then Tamil.
07:47Yes, Vijay sir did Tamil.
07:49I went for a shoot.
07:51It was like magic.
07:53I worked with Vijay sir in Puli, Jilla, Thiri, Varisu and now Goat.
08:00Can we say that you got a theme that you didn't get in the other four films?
08:04Yes, definitely.
08:06This is a science fiction.
08:09Many people asked me if this was a time travel.
08:13I told them to watch the film when it comes out.
08:16We used technology to make this film.
08:21It was decided in a very short time.
08:25We put in as much input as we could.
08:29But when you wrote the draft, you didn't have an action scene at the beginning or at the end.
08:34That was V.P sir's idea.
08:37We finished each sequence, storyboarded it, previewed it and shot it.
08:43All the ADs knew what we were going to shoot.
08:48Cameramen knew what we were going to shoot.
08:50Art department knew what we were going to shoot.
08:52Everyone knew what we were going to shoot.
08:54We didn't create anything there.
08:56We planned it in advance because it would take a long time.
09:00The opening scene of the film was like an intro to a Hollywood movie.
09:03You reveal each character.
09:05You made each of them appear in a vehicle.
09:07How did you make that train sequence?
09:11It was the train sequence that started the film.
09:16Was it the first shoot or the last shoot?
09:18It was the first shoot.
09:20I called V.P sir and told him about the sequence.
09:23We prepared a high point moment for it.
09:26He had already written the story.
09:32We had to decide where to raise the high point.
09:36I used to write the action scene and narrate it to the entire team.
09:42You narrated it to the entire team?
09:44Yes, I used to narrate it to everyone.
09:46When I was narrating, I used to know if the bow movement would work or not.
09:51I used to do the storyboard only after he told me.
09:53You won't understand if we do the storyboard and then explain it.
09:56Before we do the storyboard, we used to take the action format in detail.
10:03I used to do the storyboard and then explain it to everyone.
10:07Everyone knew that the train, chopper and action were going to happen.
10:12It was going to happen in South Africa or Kenya.
10:16They asked me how to connect it visually.
10:18I did some research and told them about the train in the desert.
10:23The train in the desert is in Algeria.
10:26We had to go deep into the desert.
10:28They said it was not accessible.
10:30We had to go to Tunisia.
10:32We had to go to Jordan.
10:34I worked in Jordan.
10:36I knew that it was in Jordan.
10:38But it was not of this scale.
10:40It was a narrow track.
10:42It was different from a train.
10:44We knew that it was in Tunisia.
10:46A team went to Tunisia.
10:48We shot the exterior of the train and the train to Prabhu Master.
10:53We set up a full train here.
10:57Like a miniature?
10:59Yes, we set up a big train.
11:01We set up all the compartments.
11:03We shot the exterior of the train.
11:07Then we shot the miniature.
11:09We started the film.
11:11The end of the film was shot in a miniature.
11:15It could have been shot in 3D.
11:18But there was no time process.
11:20The release date was announced.
11:22We wanted to show it live.
11:25We asked Rajivan sir to shoot a miniature set.
11:28We shot it in 1 by 7 size.
11:30We shot the train and the blast in the original.
11:34So, when you see it in the film...
11:36You can't see it clearly.
11:38Everything was mixed.
11:40When Vijayakanth sir's portion came in the opening...
11:44When we spoke to V.P and Vijay sir...
11:49We thought we could do it with someone else.
11:52We didn't know who it was.
11:54Vijay sir didn't agree.
11:56So, I did it.
11:58So, the body language and attitude...
12:01If someone else had done it...
12:03It would have been totally different.
12:05We didn't want to cheat his fans.
12:10I had shot the over shoulder shot for 3 days.
12:14I didn't want it to be seen.
12:16I didn't want it to be seen in any medium.
12:21He was very clear about that.
12:23It worked very well with him.
12:26There's no such thing as a train fight in Tamil cinema.
12:30We've seen it in many films.
12:32Vijay sir had a train fight in Pokkiri.
12:34Master had a train fight in Metro.
12:36Did you try to show a variation from that?
12:40When you say train fight in the opening sequence...
12:44The reference I have in Tamil cinema is Captain Prabhakaran.
12:47What my father did.
12:49I haven't been able to break that.
12:51It's still an epic.
12:53We can't break that epic.
12:55What can we do beyond that?
12:57That's what I thought.
12:59My father has done many Vijayakanth films.
13:03His name will never change.
13:05The name of the cameraman and the action director will never change.
13:09I'm proud that my father and I worked together.
13:13You worked with both Vijay sir and Vijayakanth.
13:16It was a milestone.
13:18It was a great happiness.
13:20He is still living in his craft.
13:23I thank God for that.
13:27Metro itself was very challenging for us.
13:35I've shot it in 6 places.
13:37I've shot it in the original metro station.
13:41We've set up the metro train.
13:43We've set up the metro tunnels.
13:46It will be mixed in many places.
13:48We can't keep track of the flow.
13:50We can't keep track of the speed.
13:52It's all done on a proper scale.
13:55What I mean by proper scale is the size.
13:59We can shorten the set.
14:01We can make it smaller.
14:03The life size is the same.
14:05We've done it the same way.
14:07The reason why it's so unique is...
14:09There are two characterizations.
14:11The father and the son.
14:13The son is like a snake or a psychic.
14:18The son is like a lion.
14:20There's a desire between the two.
14:22Both of them do it the same way.
14:24But Vijay sir has shown it on this scale.
14:27We needed speed and momentum.
14:32So, we did it that way.
14:34This character has a different body language.
14:36That character has a different body language.
14:38You're being very sarcastic.
14:40What's your favorite character?
14:43I like Jeevan.
14:45Why?
14:47We've seen Vijay sir like this.
14:49Age is Vijay sir's look.
14:51But you've never seen a villain Vijay sir.
14:55I saw Sanjay when I was shooting.
14:57It was in my mind.
14:59When I was shooting,
15:01I was very excited.
15:03We were watching it for the first time.
15:05When I was shooting,
15:07I was very excited.
15:09I was very excited.
15:12I thought it was going to work.
15:14But he hadn't done it.
15:16So, the character was very elevated.
15:18You've used bikes, cars, helicopters, trains.
15:20But you haven't used ships.
15:22There are ships.
15:24There's a sequence.
15:26They come down in a ship.
15:28Actually, there was a ship.
15:30But we didn't want it.
15:32We decided not to touch it.
15:34We didn't want to touch it.
15:36There are five or six fight sequences.
15:39Which sequence was the one that took you the most time?
15:42Everything was very...
15:44The climax was very long.
15:50You shouldn't talk about how long it was...
15:56The high moment shouldn't come anywhere.
15:58The 30-40 minute moment should come in the edge.
16:02We had to talk for a long time.
16:04What to do with this character,
16:06We discussed a lot about the characters, what they are doing, etc.
16:11We shot that in Chepauk, Thiruvananthapuram, set, etc.
16:16We matched it in many places.
16:19We didn't even know that they had shot everything separately.
16:23The story was going on around it.
16:25That's the beauty of it.
16:27We didn't know where they had shot it.
16:31Everything was happening within it.
16:35There was a big action scene.
16:39That place was...
16:42I can't call it a tail.
16:46The sheet was bent.
16:49The sheet that goes to the roof.
16:51You can't walk normally.
16:55You can't walk like that.
16:58When it's flat, it's hard to act.
17:03Your legs will slip.
17:06We shot everything separately.
17:08We could have shot it separately.
17:10If the texture had changed, we could have shot it separately.
17:14In that,
17:17we shot a lot of invisible cuts.
17:19We shot a lot of invisible cuts.
17:23We shot it live.
17:26Vijay sir did the DIG.
17:29We would have touched his face.
17:32There was no other character.
17:34V.P sir shot everything.
17:36I shot everything.
17:38If we had done it differently,
17:40the movements would have been seen separately.
17:42It would have been seen separately.
17:44He was the only character.
17:46The scene would have been like this.
17:48Anjanal is the son.
17:50Anjanal is the father.
17:52There would have been another character in the opposite.
17:54We didn't want the eye look to change.
17:56We didn't want the action to change.
17:58We replaced everything.
18:00Sometimes,
18:02in the first half,
18:049 to 1, father.
18:062 to 6, son.
18:08In one day.
18:10Then,
18:12in the morning, father came.
18:14In the afternoon, son came.
18:16It would have been surprising.
18:18Yes, it would have been surprising.
18:20That's what I was saying.
18:22He gave a lot of input to the film.
18:24Beyond what we did,
18:26Vijay sir gave a lot of input.
18:28He gave a lot of input.
18:30We would have composed something.
18:32When we shot,
18:34something would change suddenly.
18:36We would say,
18:38there is a moment in this pass.
18:40We would say,
18:42I will do something in this pass.
18:44I would have to tell this to the son.
18:46The same thing,
18:48if father is going to do,
18:50he can only do it if you take it here.
18:52Otherwise, it won't match.
18:54He would have to give that input.
18:56He would change a lot of scenes.
18:58In the climax,
19:00he would say,
19:02I think I'm getting old.
19:04We kept it like this.
19:06He would have called the camera.
19:08He would do it as a fan's moment.
19:10When we saw it,
19:12we were like, okay.
19:14The audience's pulse would have known.
19:16Did he particularly say,
19:18I liked this version,
19:20you did a good job?
19:22Actually,
19:24we handled the whole film.
19:26The whole film was an action sequence.
19:28We handled it.
19:30We used cut scenes
19:32in 12 frames.
19:34It should be in a Bond series feel.
19:36It should be a James Bond cut scene.
19:38What he did a lot was,
19:40both of them would come in a bike.
19:42Father and son.
19:44That was shot in Russia.
19:46When we designed it,
19:48we designed it as a poster.
19:50When we wrote the chase,
19:52he would take the moment
19:54from high point to low point.
19:56He would take it like this.
19:58When we shot that scene,
20:00I missed it.
20:02Actually,
20:04I had another shot in the ad.
20:06Sir told me to use that shot.
20:08It would be good.
20:10He would give the input.
20:12He knows the trigger point.
20:14Even if we take it,
20:16there would be his input.
20:18He would say,
20:20Is this cut enough?
20:22Yes, it's good.
20:24In the climax,
20:26both of them would fall down.
20:28Father and son would look at each other.
20:30Before he could take it,
20:32they would fall down.
20:34He enjoyed that moment a lot.
20:36In the interval moment,
20:38we were going to show
20:40the son for the first time in Russia.
20:42That was a fight sequence.
20:44He enjoyed that a lot.
20:46Actually,
20:48we didn't have much time.
20:50We were in a hurry.
20:52We didn't have much time.
20:54We were in a hurry.
20:56We finished that sequence
20:58in two days.
21:00We didn't show the inside episode.
21:02There was a separate portion outside.
21:04In those two days,
21:06we finished the father and shot the son.

21:40It was a mess.
21:42We had already done the storyboard.
21:44We had a conference.

22:14He was a very mature person.
22:16He would cry in Thailand.
22:18When we were there,
22:20we were shocked.
22:22We had already seen it.
22:24He would do a lot.
22:26But this was something special for us.

23:04But there was a miscommunication.
23:06There was a drizzle in Russia.
23:08It drizzled. It's not like our place.
23:12When it drizzles, it gets cold.
23:15There is a layer on the road.
23:17It's like a small layer of ice.
23:19I forgot about it.
23:21I kept trying to finish it.
23:23It was a normal trip.
23:25But it got tripped.
23:27I fell down.
23:29Everyone must have got scared.
23:31Yes, I got scared.
23:33That's how I ran.
23:35I was fine.
23:37I had blood on my hands.
23:39I was always the first aid.
23:41I was always the first aid.
23:43I didn't want to shoot that day.
23:45I wanted to do it tomorrow.
23:47He said, let's do it in 10 minutes.
23:49He said, let's do it.
23:51I said, let's do it tomorrow.
23:53There were so many people waiting.
23:55I didn't care.
23:57I was fine.
23:59I kept looking.
24:01That's fate.
24:04The producer has put in so much money.
24:06So many people have come.
24:08The team has put in so much effort.
24:10He didn't care about that.
24:12He could have done it tomorrow.
24:14They told me to pack up.
24:16I didn't do anything.
24:18They kept telling me to come back in 15 minutes.
24:20I didn't do anything.
24:22I shot.
24:24Then I came to Chennai.
24:26I could have taken a day's rest.
24:28He told me not to go without stopping.
24:30Shooting should happen daily.
24:32He told me not to stop shooting.
24:34I had a body pain.
24:36I will never forget that.
24:38He came to me.
24:40He came to me.
24:42He told me that it was done.
24:44It was done.
24:46I was so happy.
24:48I was so happy.
24:50I had a thermal.
24:52I had a thermal inside.
24:54I had a dress over it.
24:56I had another dress over it.
24:58I had a jerkin over it.
25:01I had prepared it for years.
25:03He had other dresses.
25:05I had other costumes.
25:07That was all.
25:09That was all.
25:11I was shooting at 60, 70 in the Jeep.
25:13I was shooting at 60, 70 in the Jeep.
25:15The wind told me to go fast.
25:17In all that he did.
25:19In all that he did.
25:21I had to retake the scene with the twins.
25:23Then I had to be alone.
25:25Then again I had to be alone.
25:27Then again I had to be alone.
25:29So, there were so many things that happened.
25:33So, that's really Vijay sir. Hats off to Vijay sir.
25:37He could have changed that moment somehow.
25:41Anything could have happened. But he handled it very simply.
25:45Very simply. I was so nervous.
25:49Nothing like that. Nothing.
25:53That's it. That's Vijay sir.
25:57He had the perfect timing.
26:01He would be inside with the make-up by 8.45.
26:05He would be inside by 1.50.
26:09He would ask me if I didn't have a shot.
26:13He would ask me if I didn't have a shot.
26:17He would ask me if I didn't have a shot.
26:21He would have told me to use a single shot.
26:25He would have told me to use a single shot.
26:29There would be a shot in the metro.
26:33Jairam would be locked up. The train would reveal itself.
26:37We didn't have much time.
26:41The train was only 12 to 4.
26:45We didn't take that shot.
26:49What happened to that shot?
26:53The shoot was almost over.
26:57We needed that particular shot.
27:01When Vijay sir told the story, he had already told us about the train reveal shot.
27:07He still has that shot in his mind.
27:11He still has that shot in his mind.
27:15We were shooting another sequence.
27:19We were shooting another sequence.
27:23He left at 1 at night for that particular shot.
27:27It would have taken him 2-3 hours to put on the make-up.
27:31He left at 2 at night for that particular shot.
27:35It's a big thing.
27:39It was a big shot.
27:43We wanted to match it.
27:47There should be a lot of fan movement.
27:51Even when Yuvanchak Raja tweeted, it was in that frame.
27:55It was a BGM.
27:59There will be a lot of experiences.
28:03Will you be in the next film?
28:07I don't know.
28:11I don't know about the time schedule.
28:15This film is...
28:19G.O.A.T. is a world wide experience.
28:23It has become a circle for me.
28:27We talk to the stunt coordinators regularly.
28:31It has become a network.
28:35It's exciting.
28:39When they are working with us, we are taking cinema to a new level.
28:43It has happened through G.O.A.T.
28:47Throughout the film, we have gone to different continents.
28:51We have worked with that understanding.
28:55We are taking something.
28:59We have to take it to a new level.
