00:00You have spoken so much about writers and writing and good writing.
00:04How does it make you feel today that because of films like this at least writers are being spoken there on stage
00:10which hardly happens really in some of the screenings and some of the press events as well?
00:18No, I told you that this is my 47th year in films.
00:22I had the chance of working with great writers like Padmarajan, M.T. Vasudevan,
00:29like Lokitha Das, so many.
00:32So writing of course and especially in Malayalam, at that time we have to be…
00:37there films were known for the writers.
00:41There was a time.
00:42This is a cycle again.
00:43It has… that entire film industry changed, the making changed, the concept of the film changed,
00:50everything is changed.
00:51But definitely there should be a story.
00:54After watching the film, you have to take something back to your home.
00:58It could be the story or it could be a scene or it could be a performance.
01:02So here this is… you can call this an entertainment.
01:06Oh, that movie is an entertainer.
01:08To make an entertainer is not an easy thing.
01:11People should love the entire aspect of the film, the song, story, acting.
01:17To bring out that, we need somebody.
01:20This is a beautiful congress.
01:22So writer is a very important point in the film.
01:26And the writer and the director has to decide how to make this movie and how to bring the
01:32actors into the frame, how to do it.
01:34This is a brilliance.
01:35This is a… this is a gift of the God.
01:38And definitely I'll say, I have said a couple of times, Prithviraj is one of the greatest
01:45directors in India.
01:46That's true.
01:47Seriously.
01:48That's true.
01:49He is going to be one of the top rated directors in their scene.
01:52And this is only a… what you can call ice… like a tip of the iceberg, okay?
01:58Yeah, let it happen because that kind of convection, he says, God.
02:03He sleeps cinema, he eats cinema, he breathes cinema, always in the film when he is into
02:08that mood.
02:09Otherwise he is a naughty person.
