00:00There are no snakes here now, but I have practised a lot.
00:06If I play a music, I can catch a snake.
00:13Whatever we learn and from where we learn, there is a search.
00:17The search does not have a proper character.
00:20There is a chance, but it does not happen.
00:23I have seen a lot in this profession.
00:25First, I did not get victory easily.
00:30When I did the third episode, I got a chance to join the film institute.
00:35That was my first project.
00:39I did not know how to come out of it.
00:43I did not know if I could join the film institute.
00:45I did not know how to act.
00:47I had a lot of questions.
00:49Dhanush sir asked me if I got a seat in the film institute.
00:56I said, yes sir.
00:58He asked me not to come for the shoot.
01:04When he directs, I become his AD.
01:07When I direct, he becomes my AD.
01:09When he directs, we become his AD.
01:11Suddenly, we go and see costumes.
01:14Suddenly, we go to the art department.
01:19As an actor, I have a chance.
01:25The days I yearned for a chance are very short.
01:29It has been 26 years since I came to cinema.
01:33It does not matter what I have achieved in the past 26 years.
01:40Greetings to everyone in the country, state and home.
01:43I am Anupil Karthi.
01:45Today, we are with a new series.
01:47It is called, Snakes and Ladders.
01:49The name sounds different.
01:51We are going to meet the team and talk about acting.
01:54Greetings.
01:56How are you all?
01:58I think you forgot to say One India.
02:00Everyone knows One India.
02:02I have a doubt.
02:04You have written Snakes and Ladders.
02:06In Tamil, it is Paramapatham.
02:08Who here is a player in Paramapatham?
02:12Everyone is a player.
02:14In your life, there are two things in Paramapatham.
02:18A snake is a way to take you to the next step.
02:22A snake is a way to let you down.
02:24We don't need to let us down.
02:26There must be someone in our life to lift us up.
02:30I'll start with the greatest.
02:32Who is the one who lifted you up?
02:34I don't think I've spoken very positively in my life.
02:38I've only seen snakes.
02:40I don't want to say that it's going to happen suddenly.
02:44All the people I've seen so far have supported me.
02:50No one has done anything like Kothara.
02:54Everyone has tried to lift me up.
02:56There are no big snakes in my life.
02:58I'm just a snake.
03:00You can call me a small snake or a big snake.
03:02Chandu?
03:04The first step for me is 1, 2, 3.
03:08The Stone Bench Productions that gave me the opportunity...
03:14Karthik sir, my producer Kalyan, Amazon Prime...
03:20I see them as a ladder.
03:24Karthik Subbaraj sir, Stone Bench Productions...
03:28Inspector Rishi director Nandini Jeyas...
03:32They were the ones who gave me a strong foundation in Tamil cinema.
03:38The audience liked my work.
03:42There are no snakes now.
03:44But I've practised.
03:48If I play music...
03:50You've got a snake.
03:52Yes.
03:54Now I feel very good working with these three directors.
03:58They've given me three foundations.
04:00So, after October 18th...
04:02Hi, hello, thank you.
04:04Thank you very much.
04:06Muthu?
04:08I'll say three names.
04:10First is my good brother.
04:12I'm Muthu.
04:16Second is Karthik Subbaraj.
04:18Stone Bench.
04:20Traveling from Sapleem.
04:22Third is Paranjith.
04:24No matter what we learn...
04:28There will be a search.
04:30There won't be a proper character.
04:32There will be an opportunity.
04:34But it won't happen.
04:36I've seen many failures.
04:38I didn't get success easily.
04:40I got many failures.
04:42I took them as an experience.
04:44I didn't give up.
04:46I tried again and again.
04:48As I tried again and again...
04:50Not everyone is negative here.
04:54Everyone is in a good vibe.
04:56So, how do we choose?
04:58Our behavior, our attitude...
05:02Being young is one thing.
05:04Be yourself.
05:06Be honest.
05:08Be true.
05:10I started learning these things.
05:12After that, we travel.
05:14We travel to different places.
05:16When you see all that,
05:18you get excited.
05:20But when you see the next thing,
05:22you get jealous.
05:24That's what everyone in life...
05:26Not just in this industry,
05:28but in any industry...
05:30We see it as we travel.
05:32Snakes...
05:34We are at the top.
05:36We have to see both the ups and downs.
05:38We have to see both and stay in the middle.
05:40Even if we get success,
05:42we shouldn't give up.
05:44Even if we fail, we shouldn't give up.
05:46I was clear that I had to run
05:48when I put my weapon on the horse.
05:50So, this is my goal.
05:54My father was the first to put my weapon.
05:56My Guru Nanak Maniratnam was the second.
06:00After that,
06:02I was raised by
06:04film makers,
06:06directors,
06:08and directors.
06:10Now, a strong asset
06:12that I have is Stonehenge.
06:14It's a production by Karthik Subbaraj.
06:16It has 3.5 acres.
06:18I can't get on all three of them at the same time.
06:22But,
06:24I have to get on one at a time.
06:26But they have given me all three at the same time.
06:28So, I have never seen a snake.
06:30I have only been on one.
06:32Until then, I am happy.
06:36For me, Vijay Sethupathi is the first one.
06:38He is the reason
06:40why I am with this team.
06:42In the pizza movie,
06:44he was the one who introduced me to Karthik.
06:46He introduced me to him
06:48and I joined this team.
06:50After that,
06:52I had a journey with Karthik.
06:54Karthik Subbaraj was the second one
06:56to introduce me to a snake.
06:58It was his debut movie.
07:00So, it was an opportunity for me.
07:02So, I have two snakes.
07:04One is Vijay and the other is Karthik Subbaraj.
07:06I'll tell you about three people.
07:12Kalaipulli S. Dhanu,
07:14who gave me the opportunity for this film.
07:16My first film's producer.
07:18Then, Amir sir.
07:20I had the opportunity to talk to all three of them
07:22before the release of Punnaipuzha.
07:26I haven't said this much before.
07:28K. Balachander.
07:32He did a serial called Premi.
07:34I was the lead.
07:36When I did the third episode,
07:38I got an opportunity to join the film institute.
07:42At that time,
07:44Punnaipuzha was my first project.
07:46I had to decide
07:48how to come out of it.
07:50Should I join the institute?
07:52How should I act?
07:54I had a lot of questions.
07:56Dhanu sir asked Balachander sir
07:58if he had a seat in the institute.
08:00He said yes.
08:06He asked me not to come for the shoot.
08:08He told me to study first
08:10and then do the film.
08:12He sent me in the middle.
08:14He disquitted me in the third episode.
08:16If I hadn't done that,
08:18I wouldn't have had the opportunity.
08:20I wouldn't have known how my life would have been.
08:22It was like a prayer for me.
08:24All three of them
08:26were very important to me.
08:30When you talk to writers,
08:32you talk to them.
08:34You used a dollar word.
08:36Alfred Hitchcock used the word
08:38megaphene in his films.
08:44It's a titanic thing.
08:46You've researched it.
08:48Without his inspiration,
08:50there was no paper.
08:52When he used the word megaphene,
08:54he said,
08:56there's a subject
08:58and there's an object.
09:00There's a watch.
09:02The story revolves around it.
09:06You have three writers.
09:08How did you come up with the dollar word?
09:14He's not a creator.
09:16He's a director.
09:22There are many subplots in a series.
09:24You can have many main plots.
09:26There are many episodes.
09:30One of the subplots
09:32is the dollar matter.
09:38It was challenging to
09:40interwoven all the threads.
09:42This is one of the equally important plots.
09:46There are three gangs.
09:48There's a gang of kids,
09:50a gang of cops,
09:52and a gang of gangsters.
09:54It's like a run-and-chase.
09:56It's like a plot element.
10:02So, when there are three gangs,
10:04each gang needs one thing.
10:10If you see it after the release,
10:12you'll know what I'm talking about.
10:14The theory of Hitchcock...
10:20In writing,
10:22the two of you can discuss it.
10:26What did you do about it?
10:28We're always on the spot.
10:32When he directs,
10:34I become his AD.
10:36When I direct, he becomes my AD.
10:38When he directs, we become his AD.
10:42We go to the costume department.
10:44So, we do it equally.
10:46Majorly, we had to work towards his creativity.
10:52We thought about how to execute what he had in mind.
10:58I think we all did justice to the script.
11:02Definitely.
11:04Manoj sir, let me ask you.
11:06When you direct,
11:08you focus a lot on acting.
11:10He concentrates a lot on acting.
11:12We can talk about many of his films.
11:16Have you heard anything about his acting?
11:20We know that he's interested in acting.
11:22But recently,
11:24he's been doing it well.
11:26Did you get any input from him?
11:28No.
11:30When I act in his direction,
11:32he teaches me how to act.
11:34He teaches me how to act.
11:36That's how I got the job.
11:42I worked as an AD in a film called Bombay.
11:44I joined him straight away.
11:46I joined him in Karuthamala.
11:48I was in Tamil Chellam.
11:50From there,
11:52he brought in other actors.
11:54When I acted,
11:56I saw how he brought me in.
11:58So, I didn't need to ask him for input.
12:00He taught me that.
12:04I have a question for you.
12:06You've worked with two creators.
12:08One of them is a producer.
12:10In the production of Sivikumar,
12:12Paranjith and Karthik Subbaraj
12:14are said to have been produced.
12:16So, you've worked with both of them.
12:18You've worked with Sarpada and Thangala.
12:20You've done many films with Karthik Subbaraj.
12:22What's the difference between the two?
12:26He's from a different genre.
12:28Everyone knows that.
12:34Karthik Subbaraj is totally entertaining.
12:36As an actor,
12:40I have an opportunity.
12:44I yearned for opportunities in cinema.
12:48It's my 26th year in cinema.
12:52I've achieved nothing in the past 26 years.
12:54If it wasn't for the two of you,
12:58I would have kept running.
13:02But I wouldn't have left cinema.
13:04I wouldn't have left it.
13:06But I have achieved something.
13:08My family is very happy.
13:12I came from Villimundalai.
13:14My life started there.
13:18My family is doing well.
13:20We've learnt something.
13:22I couldn't join Villimundalai.
13:24I didn't have enough money to teach.
13:26So, I went to Koothu.
13:28I learnt something there.
13:30I was given the opportunity.
13:34I met Karthik through Vijay Sethupathi.
13:38When I started with Karthik,
13:40I thought I could use Koothu.
13:42It's not a matter of habit.
13:44It's a matter of performance.
13:46It's possible only if you perform.
13:48No matter who you are.
13:52So, I understood that
13:54when they told me about Koothu.
14:00Ranjith has also written a channel.
14:02If it's necessary, I'll do it.
14:06I think I've worked with a lot of ignorants.
14:08Ajay Iyengar,
14:10when you said it was good,
14:12I said it was good.
14:14Bharath, Anand, Ashok...
14:22I've worked with a lot of people.
14:24I've worked with a lot of people.
14:26I've come up with a lot of ideas.
14:28I've done a lot of character assessment.
14:30I asked them about their ideas and ideas.
14:34I asked them about the updates.
14:38I thanked Stonebench.
14:40Even after doing Village for Amazon, I continue to travel with Amazon
14:45I am very happy about that
14:47Because he is such a great person
14:49He is really gold
14:51He has become a gem
14:53Thank you
14:55Thank you
14:57Thank you
14:59You have received respect
15:01Normally, to make a film or a web series, there is a lot of process
15:05A film takes 3 to 2 hours
15:07But a web series is not like that
15:09There is a lot of hard work
15:11You have received respect and made a series
15:13It takes time for both
15:17It doesn't take time for both
15:21I am shooting Snicks and Ladders
15:23I am shooting Jigarthanda XX
15:25These three
15:27In the span of three months, I have been shooting these three projects together
15:33It was very easy for me
15:35I have already made a film for Stone Bench
15:39Everyone in the team is a friend
15:51If Karthik Subbarah sir makes a film, everyone will support him
15:55Even if they don't have the idea, they will be on set to support him
16:01At the same time, Karthik sir is also there
16:05He is also very enthusiastic about it
16:07He supports the whole team
16:09It's all about the team
16:11Script, film and timing
16:15I think Snicks and Ladders has got the right timing for the release
16:21Because a lot of people are waiting for a good series for a web series
16:25Compared to Inspector Rishi, I am fortunate to have such a character, series and team
16:33After Inspector Rishi, I was looking for a different performance
16:39But before Inspector Rishi, I was cast
16:43I was the first casting actor for this series in 2018-19
16:53Today we are promoting the series
16:55In six to seven days, I think the series is out
17:03The whole team, everyone who is involved in this series...
17:07Because we usually use hard work and passion
17:11But this is what we all know
17:13This team, the world of cinema, the art, the work...
17:19We know how to do it
17:25I have been making films for Stone Bench
17:27I will continue to do it
17:33In Patrail, there is a genre called Vettrimaran and Ram
17:39You are all from Patrail
17:41All three of you have three main characters in one series
17:45What genre is this?
17:47What are the inputs?
17:51The genre is Crime Thriller
17:53With black humor
17:55Black comedy
17:57That's the genre
17:59As a writer, we try to enhance the script
18:05That's what we have done as a director
18:09Karthik is not a genre-specific director
18:15He is in this genre
18:17Jigarthanda is a film that jumped two genres in one film
18:21You can't limit this series to a particular genre
18:27There's science, fiction, thriller, crime, romance...
18:37You can't limit it to a particular genre
18:41Cinema is like that
18:43You can't limit it to a particular genre
18:45If you don't limit it to a particular genre, it will give you a better experience.
18:51I want to praise this team for one thing...
18:55In Malayalam, the writer is given a task
18:59The director is not given a task
19:01If you're a director, do your job
19:03If you're a writer, do your job
19:05In this series, you have a writer
19:09The series will definitely succeed
19:11He's a writer and a director
19:13We're watching this on Amazon Prime on October 18th
19:19Thank you for your time
