I was scared. 209 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,640 It's because I was very restless. 210 00:11:18,680 --> 00:11:20,640 I needed a two-hour nap in the afternoon. 211 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,040 I wanted the weekends off.

I have seen Mr Chiranjeevi work hard. 281 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,040 Hard work is synonymous with Mr Chiranjeevi. 282 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,600 That's true. He is so hard-working. - Yes. True. 283 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,440 Yeah. Wow. - Indeed. 284 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,320 So, when you entered the industry, he was an expert dancer. 285 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,840 You were his master in this particular song. 286 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:16,880 So, you complemented each other. - Yes. 287 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,360 With that, his expertise grew. 288 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,280 His style was completely different. 289 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,680 You brought in a new wave. - Yeah.

He is a great person. 293 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:36,240 He is another person who made me into Prabhu Deva. 294 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,760 Wow. - I feel, I am Chiranjeevi's man. 295 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,280 Like, yeah... 296 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,760 The song, 'Abba Nee Thiyyani Debba'... You did it, right? 297 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,400 My father choreographed it. I was an assistant. - Okay. 298 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,720 One day, my father handed me the reins. 299 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,800 You completed it. - I completed it. The other days... 300 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,440 When I did that song, it's more of a girl and a boy... 301 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,680 It's a duet song. I don't know how to do duet songs well. 302 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,200 You know, close-ups and other shots... I don't know. 303 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:13,640 If it has dance, it's fine. 304 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:15,400 I learnt it later. 305 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,360 I was only 15 or 16 at that time. My mindset was different. 306 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,720 My father would tell me the movement. 307 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,800 After my father, the director, Mr Raghavendra, would take it up. 308 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:25,440 All of them were great people. 309 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,400 I was a small boy. I was a like schoolboy 310 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:32,760 playing here and there. - So cute. 311 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,360 Yes... I thank them all. 312 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,720 I can still visualise the signature step. 313 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,000 Actually, I heard that they didn't want the song, 314 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,360 but later, they filmed it. 315 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,400 Is that so? - Yes, that's what I heard. 316 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:49,720 The song wasn't needed. 317 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,800 But later, it turned out to be the best song 318 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,480 with the best choreography. - When we did it, we didn't know 319 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,160 it would become a huge hit. - A hit. 320 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,480 Perhaps, the director knew. - Yes. 321 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:03,360 You were so young 322 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,800 that you wouldn't have realised the beauty of Ms Sridevi. 323 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:07,000 No, sir. 324 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,480 I was...

I asked you the same. 330 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,560 Because I have never choreographed you. 331 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,440 No one called me. 332 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,440 We lacked courage. I didn't have the courage. 333 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,680 Perhaps, you thought that it was difficult to make me dance. 334 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,960 No. No, sir. I will never think that. It's my job 335 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:47,920 to choreograph dances. I will make anyone dance. 336 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,880 Your brother, Raju Sundaram's first song was with me. 337 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,680 At that time, he observed me for a couple of hours. 338 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,160 He said, 'Hey, this guy is useless. He has no rhythm in his body.' 339 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:00,920 'I won't choreograph him.' - What? 340 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,440 This is what he said. I kept quiet and scolded him in the evening. 341 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,080 'You are the choreographer. It's your duty to teach me.' 342 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,800 'If I didn't get it, you have to try until I learn it. I will do it.' 343 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,720 After that, we became friends. - Oh, is that so? 344 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,480 So, can I dance or not? 345 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:22,760 You? - First. 346 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:24,600 No, it's not about... Anybody can dance. 347 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:27,480 Exactly. 348 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,120 You did 80 films as an actor. Sorry, 60 films. 349 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,160 Isn't it 60 films? - I... I don't know. 350 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,040 And probably, thousands of songs. 351 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:37,720 No, sir. Not thousands of songs. 352 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:38,840 Okay. - Not that much. 353 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,520 Because when I choreographed, it was for a small period. 354 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,320 I think I choreographed from when I was 16 to 20 years old. 355 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,640 Once I became an actor, I wasn't able to do it. 356 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,760 In that gap... I was busy with acting. So, I would do it rarely. 357 00:18:53,120 --> 00:18:55,000 I didn't do thousands of songs. 358 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:56,280 Okay. - I did a few. 359 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,200 But anyway, dancing, 360 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,600 dance master, director, 361 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,560 producer... I don't know about that. 362 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,800 Yeah, I did a couple, but with my friend. 363 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:07,920 Okay, so... Basically, now... 364 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,520 Despite being busy, you became an actor, a hero. 365 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,400 How could you manage all this in this span of time? 366 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,120 I didn't plan anything. 367 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,040 First, I... 368 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,880 I didn't enter the film industry for the sake of it. 369 00:19:21,120 --> 00:19:22,880 I came here because I couldn't study. 370 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,080 Then it became my expertise. 371 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,320 I didn't become an actor because I wanted to. I... 372 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,680 I did a few songs. 373 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,760 They became huge hits. Like, 'Chikku Bukku Railu'. 374 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:35,480 So, after that, 375 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:39,600 the director, Pavithran, chose me for the first time. 376 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:41,400 He made me a hero. I was... 377 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,240 I wasn't so keen about it. My father wanted to become an actor. 378 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:45,760 Oh. - For him, I became an actor. 379 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,160 So, I became an actor, just like that. 380 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,200 In my first four or five films, I wasn't comfortable acting. 381 00:19:57,360 --> 00:20:00,960 Only after five films, I sort of realised what acting is. 382 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:02,480 Then I took it seriously. 383 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,800 I became a director... I was doing 'Varsham' at that time. 384 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,000 Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana song from 'Varsham'. 385 00:20:08,120 --> 00:20:09,600 Superb song. - It was picturised in rain. 386 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,920 M S Raju sir asked me if I would 387 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,480 like to direct the next film. I said yes! 388 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,760 That's all. I became a director. Thanks to M S Raju sir. 389 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,720 How I became a producer is a fascinating story. 390 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:30,680 My friend put all money, but I was credited as producer. 391 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,640 I resisted and said, 'It's your money. Why are you doing this?' 392 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,240 But after about four films, 393 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,680 he was credited as producer on my insistence. 394 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,360 That's how it happened. I always go with the flow. 395 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:44,640 I love to shuffle between acting, directing, and choreographing. 396 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,840 Well, while making the film, 'Premikudu' or after its release, 397 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:53,800 the distributors said, 398 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:58,320 'We can see him dance, but how will anyone watch him as hero for hours?' 399 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,640 Someone said this. Have you heard it before? 400 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,080 No, I haven't. - Okay. 401 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,080 Even if I had heard, I'd have went, 'They have a point.' 402 00:21:09,360 --> 00:21:11,960 There's nothing wrong with it. - In the film, 'Premikudu'... 403 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,360 You became a star and the film was super hit. 404 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,240 The producers must have made a lot of money. All that is great. 405 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,920 There's an incident which I can never forget. 406 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,200 I think 'Premikudu' came out in 1994. - 1995. 407 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,760 1995? I think it came out either in 1994 or 1995. 408 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,040 September 14, my film 'Subhalagnam' was released. 409 00:21:29,120 --> 00:21:30,560 And 'Premikudu' came out on September 28. 410 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,840 Both the films were super hits. 411 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,480 The beauty of this incident is... 412 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,840 When 'Premikudu' came out, my remuneration 413 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:38,160 was less than Rs 1,00,000. 414 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,600 But I had invested Rs 2,00,000 in 'Premikudu' distribution. 415 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,400 I earned Rs 6,00,000.
