00:00I have enough money. When I get a film, when I get a role in a film like this,
00:04I feel like I'm listening to it naturally.
00:07So, I didn't want to take the name of a director.
00:13It's not a name that can be taken so easily.
00:16At that time, there were films that were rejected, but there were films that were accepted.
00:20How did you process that?
00:22Because people would come and ask you,
00:24and you would have to tell them what you wanted to say.
00:28My phone was switched off.
00:29There was no other problem.
00:31People would ask me who came.
00:34Of course, there would be films that I would call to act.
00:39But once I got into this, I switched it off.
00:44Actually, it's been a year and a half.
00:46Everything was cut from the outside.
00:49I was with my friends and the people who made this film for so long.
00:56In between, Kamal sir and Mani sir made a film.
01:00Because it was a big deal for us.
01:03I didn't want to miss a chance to see both of them.
01:08So, I did that.
01:09Then, Surya Karthi's film. I did that too.
01:13I have only done two of those.
01:17You have been in Malayalam cinema for the past 3 decades.
01:22You have been a junior artist for 15 years.
01:2618 years.
01:27Don't reduce that.
01:29So, you have been a junior artist for 18 years.
01:33You have been waiting for a film that doesn't have any dialogues.
01:41You might have read about me in poems and stories.
01:44I haven't been to Karnataka.
01:46I have been to West Indies.
01:47I have been to Bangladeshi.
01:51I was scared to go to Karnataka.
01:53I didn't know what to do.
01:56So, after 30 years, you have become a director.
02:02You have become a leader in Malayalam cinema.
02:06You have become a famous actor.
02:10In an earlier interview, a journalist asked you if you were a fool.
02:17You laughed at that.
02:19Let me ask you another question.
02:22Do you like cinema only for this?
02:26I don't have any other ambition.
02:30I don't think of anything else.
02:33That's my ambition in Kunjum Nadu.
02:38There are many things in life.
02:40There are many things that I want to achieve in life.
02:46But at my age, I don't have that ambition.
02:51If I want to become a film, I have to be self-reliant.
02:55When I see people, I have to be compassionate.
03:00That's what everyone wants.
03:03That's how a film is.
03:05My colour film.
03:07That's why I went to Tirupati to see my first poster.
03:12I was able to do that for a short time.
03:16I realized that I can only stand here if I work hard and get results.
03:25When you are able to do something on your own,
03:30you can move forward without depending on anyone.
03:33If you depend on a lot of people and stand in front of a cinema,
03:38it will be a big effort.
03:40But no matter who you are,
03:44once you make them say that they want you,
03:48there's nothing else you can do.
03:51It's not easy to write a film.
03:54You have to put in a lot of hard work.
03:59That's the thing.
04:01I can't think of a film that I haven't made in the past year and a half.
04:11I'm writing this film with a lot of struggle.
04:15I haven't even got a single shot.
04:19I don't know if you've seen the trailer.
04:22It's a good work.
04:24But I don't even remember a single shot.
04:30Because I didn't make that film for fun.
04:34So I don't know what to say.
04:38It's just a film.
04:41You don't even have to look at the body.
04:45Nagavalli is a different thing.
04:54It's an obsession.
04:56It's a different thing.
04:58That's all there is to Nagavalli.
05:03It's like a psychosis.
05:05People ask me why I'm making this film.
05:07I don't even remember how many people left before the film started.
05:12I haven't even heard the story.
05:15I don't want to blame them.
05:17I made a film with Anthony and Josh.
05:21I made this decision when I was about to give up the film.
05:25I had a lot of money.
05:27When I was about to give up, I heard about this film.
05:33I didn't want to take the name of a director.
05:39It's not that easy.
05:42But I wanted to take the name of an actor.
05:48Because this art is the craft of the director.
05:51Even when we go to act, he decides what to do next.
06:01It doesn't happen every time.
06:03It happens only after the screenplay.
06:05It happens only after that.
06:08I know the value of that.
06:11That's why I made this film.
