00:00In 2016, I worked as an assistant to Ratna Shiva, director of Rekha.
00:07After that, in Rudran, I worked on the story.
00:14I liked the story.
00:16They saw it too.
00:17Because on the first day, they saw it without make-up.
00:19Then they selected and chose the girl for the character.
00:26There should be humour.
00:27At the same time, when he speaks emotionally, we should connect.
00:30We needed a fresh face.
00:32So, while thinking about it, we didn't have to say anything.
00:37We all knew how he would speak.
00:41Look, I will do something.
00:43You just watch.
00:44If you don't tell me what to do, I will become a bar.
00:48Or he will leave me in my pocket.
00:52A movie by Durga Salman sir.
00:53Lucky Baskar.
00:54That movie was known by word of mouth.
00:56We were able to make it because of the reviews.
00:58Because that movie was released in theatres for the first time.
01:01So, Amaran got a good name for the movie.
01:04After that, this movie got a good name because of word of mouth.
01:11Jigarthanda, Vinay Thandivarvaya.
01:13If you see all these, it is a person's passion.
01:18So, whether that person went or won, what happened to him.
01:22Even if you see a star, it will be like that.
01:25But this is not a person's journey.
01:32Hello to all of you. I am Ranjith Kannan.
01:35We have Selvakumar Thurmaran and Janani with us.
01:42Let's ask them about the movie.
01:45Hello to both of you.
01:46Hello.
01:47How are you?
01:48I am fine.
01:49The movie is ready for release.
01:51Let's start with you, Captain Adhushir.
01:54Who did you work with?
01:56How did you start your journey in cinema?
01:58I took short films from 2012 and learned from them.
02:05I did what I could.
02:08In 2016, I worked as an assistant to Ratna Shiva, director of Vichai Sethupathi.
02:17In Rudhran, my story was played by Raghavan Lansmaster.
02:24Simultaneously, I thought about what I could do to direct the movie.
02:29I wanted to make it feel good.
02:31I wanted to make a movie that would appeal to an audience.
02:38You, Janani. Tell us about you.
02:40I am a newsreader.
02:43I started making movies in 2022.
02:46My first movie was Jawan.
02:49I did a couple of films.
02:55After that, I released a family film.
02:58Everyone wants to be safe in their first film.
03:03The producer wanted to benefit from the film.
03:06What made you want to make it feel good?
03:11What made you choose the genre?
03:13I wanted to make a movie that would appeal to an audience.
03:18I think a lot of people are listening to happy endings.
03:28I wanted to do something based on that.
03:31I wanted to make a movie that would appeal to people of all ages.
03:36That was my ideology.
03:39I wanted to make a content-based film.
03:44I wanted to make a content-based film.
03:47That's when my family decided to make a film.
03:52They wanted to do it, but it's not that easy.
03:57They face difficulties.
04:00I wanted to make it intense and humorous at the same time.
04:08In the trailer, a middle-aged man looks at cinema.
04:14Did you take it as a way to connect with your life?
04:17It's not my life.
04:20Anyone can connect with it.
04:23I can't say that it happened only in my life.
04:26I took it from my friend.
04:31My friends did something and I added it to the screenplay.
04:38There are a lot of things in this story.
04:41It's not just cinema.
04:44Anyone who wants to pursue a passion can connect with this film.
04:49Jani, tell us about your character.
04:52Did you ask Stewie for corrections?
04:55No, I can't give corrections.
04:58I'm just starting, so I can't give corrections.
05:01I don't understand.
05:03You're just starting, so you can't give corrections.
05:06I can't give corrections.
05:09He's the captain of the ship.
05:12Some people give suggestions.
05:15I give suggestions because he's experienced.
05:18I liked the story.
05:21They saw it.
05:24They chose the character.
05:27Then I came to shoot.
05:30Was it a film without makeup?
05:33No, it was live.
05:36It wasn't typical overdose makeup.
05:39It was just what a normal next-door girl would need.
05:42It was live and real.
05:45Tell us about your character.
05:48My character is a normal girl who works.
05:54How did that girl come into the story?
05:59She's not from this family.
06:02In this family...
06:05Parthi is Amar's character.
06:08But how did she come into this family?
06:11At a certain point in time, she helps them.
06:16Like a hero?
06:19Yes, she helps them.
06:22The first film was directed by a great actor.
06:25If we choose a story, it has to be a good one.
06:28Mohan Santharaman is a great actor.
06:31We've seen him in the film Thunivu.
06:34Sreeja Amma is a great actress.
06:37How did you choose her?
06:40The film needed a grandfather character.
06:43The character has to be funny and humorous.
06:46When he's emotional, we have to connect.
06:49We needed a fresh face.
06:52We all know how he talks.
06:57But we all have an ideology that he only does humor.
07:02But his emotional part is also there in this film.
07:05When I saw his performance, I was very surprised.
07:10Sreeja Amma is a mother character.
07:16I thought it would be better if someone else did it.
07:20So we asked Sreeja Amma.
07:23She said she liked the story.
07:26But beyond the story, she's the strongest woman in the film.
07:29She carried it very well.
07:32Everyone knows Vivek.
07:35He acts as a villain, he does comedy, he does supporting roles.
07:40He justifies any character he gives.
07:43For this character, I needed a humorous brother.
07:48He talks maturely, but has a sense of humor.
07:53Vivek was a good option for that.
07:56Everyone liked the script.
07:59Everyone trusted me and cooperated.
08:02Mohan Rao said his wife didn't agree to act.
08:05How did you convince him?
08:08He was very busy with Patimandram.
08:11He didn't want to act.
08:14He wanted to earn a name.
08:17He had already earned a name.
08:20He went to all the countries and did shows.
08:23But we requested him a lot.
08:26He heard the story first.
08:29I told him that I didn't like it.
08:32He said he didn't like it.
08:35Everyone around me was there.
08:38I told him because I didn't want to embarrass him.
08:41He asked me who I wanted to talk to.
08:44I said I'll talk to him.
08:47He didn't even ask me when I was coming.
08:50I said I'll take care of it.
08:53That's how he came to me.
08:56This is your second film.
08:59The actors you've acted with are experienced.
09:02Did you have any struggles when you acted with them?
09:05They'll do it in one take.
09:08Were you nervous?
09:11I practiced a lot.
09:14I know that all the experienced actors are like that.
09:17I was told to prepare my dialogues.
09:23I didn't take a lot of takes.
09:26No, I didn't.
09:29I was very professional.
09:32So I practiced a lot.
09:35I didn't want to create a new problem.
09:38So I practiced a lot.
09:41Most of the characters are a combination.
09:44The characters here are all in one scene.
09:47We didn't plan to go close to them.
09:50Everyone has to come.
09:53The dialogue paper will go to everyone first.
09:57Everyone has to act a master shot first.
10:00The master shot will be okay in the fifth or fifteenth take.
10:03But they won't lose energy until the master shot is over.
10:06Only then will they go close.
10:09By chance, if the dialogues come out, they'll burn.
10:14So it was like competing with each other.
10:19Was it difficult to get someone's acting?
10:22There were so many people.
10:25There was a character called Parthi.
10:28He was my brother.
10:31All of them were experienced.
10:34He was a newbie.
10:37So it was very difficult for him.
10:40I clearly told him how I was going to match with them.
10:43The first or fifteenth shot will be okay.
10:46But you have to do it until then.
10:49I didn't know what to do.
10:52Even if the expression went wrong, we wouldn't let go of the dialogues.
10:55Since he was a beginner, it was difficult for him to mingle.
11:01Everyone else did it easily.
11:04Actually, I was a newbie.
11:07He was a very newbie.
11:10You were a senior to him.
11:13They say they're newbies, but they have a camera.
11:16They read the news every day.
11:19We don't know how to create the dialogues.
11:24They say they're newbies, but they're not.
11:27They're also professionals.
11:30Since I had practiced before, I was confident.
11:35I was teaching him what I knew.
11:38He took that too.
11:41In one scene, he pushed my hair away.
11:44He didn't even get that.
11:47He said, it's okay, you can do it.
11:50When I go to my grandfather, he says, I'll do something.
11:55If you don't tell me what to do, I'll be a burden.
12:00He'll remind me of it.
12:03He'll tell me what to do.
12:06I'll tune it and give it to him.
12:09The film is over.
12:12The release date is important.
12:15You're releasing Pushpa 2 the next day.
12:18It's going to rain in December.
12:21Why this date?
12:24We didn't plan anything.
12:27We planned it like a go-with-flow.
12:30People who want to see Pushpa will come out of their homes.
12:33That's enough for us.
12:37Pushpa is a big film for everyone.
12:40Even if it rains, the audience will want to see the film.
12:45That's how I feel.
12:50How did you choose the title, Family?
12:55If you have a title like that, families will celebrate it.
13:00Why this title?
13:03We had hope.
13:06In this film, we have to tell a story.
13:09In the title itself, there's a story.
13:12A family wants to make a film together.
13:15Whether they did it or not, how many problems they faced...
13:18We wanted to justify that in the title.
13:21We can talk about family emotions and content.
13:24That's why we chose this title.
13:28In Tamil cinema, we have seen a lot of star films like Jigarthanda.
13:34Did you take any inputs from that?
13:37Jigarthanda, Vinay Thandivar Vaya...
13:40If you look at it, it's a person's passion.
13:45Whether that person went or won, what happened to him...
13:50It's not a person's journey, it's a family's journey.
13:55A family takes a passion and goes on a journey.
14:00Let it be any profession.
14:05The first investment comes from the family.
14:08If we have their support, we can achieve our goals.
14:13That's what we mean in this film.
14:16The film is getting ready for release.
14:20There's a big issue going on recently.
14:23Films shouldn't be reviewed outside theatres.
14:26What do you think about that?
14:31Reviews are definitely necessary.
14:34It's a personal attack.
14:37It's planned and happens by a few people.
14:40But a lot of word of mouth, good reviews...
14:44A lot of small films have been released.
14:47Let it be Loverpandha or Lucky Baskar by Durga Salman.
14:54Reviews are the only way to go.
14:59Those films were released in theatres.
15:02Amaran was named as a good film.
15:05It's because of word of mouth.
15:08Reviews are definitely necessary.
15:11It's good to avoid spreading negativity.
15:16What do you think?
15:18Reviews are definitely necessary.
15:21I've seen a lot of reviews.
15:24It's good to have reviews.
15:27But it's better if it's not a personal attack.
15:31Congratulations on your family film.
15:34Both of you can go to the next film.
