00:00You have to give the respect to him that he is a big star, fortunately he is my brother,
00:08so I have a little more access to him where I can discuss things with him on a one to
00:11one level.
00:12Because of the closeness, there is a lot that we can share and try to bring the best out
00:18in both of us.
00:19So that accessibility is there and because I just don't see him as a director and act
00:23on the set.
00:24There is a lot that I see of him at home, there is a lot that I can study of him and
00:28that is something that I can actually accommodate in the film.
00:30I think it is maturity and experience.
00:31He has always been very free in front of the camera and I have always called him, he is
00:35like clay, you can actually mould him.
00:36He is one of the very few actors that you can mould according to what the dimension
00:41or the requirement of the scene is.
00:42He is one of the very few actors we can do an emotional film, a comedy film, an action
00:46film, a drama film, so you can actually play with him.
00:48Obviously he has gained stardom and when you gain that kind of stardom, there is a certain
00:55kind of, with the kind of image even comes a kind of responsibility that now the expectation
01:04is much more.
01:05But believe me, now working with him, I genuinely believe that he has become his audience's
01:09actor.
01:10He only performs for his audience.
01:11His complete genre of acting is to actually give it back to them and please them.
01:15Luckily the man who has got a universal appeal, with that universal appeal he has even got
01:20compliment that you even compare him to or he is going on the path of Mr. Rajnikanth.
01:25The film is terribly title mental, it's a very righteous film, he says the right stuff,
01:29he believes.
01:30In fact there is, it's a lot of true to life, he is a very big star but with a very big
01:33star comes a lot of big expectations too.
01:35Now you can't do any kind of ordinary work with him, you have to do justice to his stardom.
01:39Please the fans basically work hard on him now, you have this opportunity and you should
01:43not let it go.
