That makes me feel more responsible.

12
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,120
I can't help it. Thank you...

13
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,800
Okay. Now let's get down
to business.

14
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:19,240
Can you guess today's guest?

15
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,160
He's someone with full of dreams.

16
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:27,960
He gives his everything

17
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,120
no matter what he does.

18
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,200
'R', 'A', 'M'.

19
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,080
'Romantic Andhra Man!'

20
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,680
Our dearest, Ram Pothineni!

21
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,480
'Smart Shankar!'

22
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,920
I want you to remember this.
Sarcasm runs in his blood.

23
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:24,960
These are your pictures!

24
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,520
I haven't seen them before.
They are from my childhood.

25
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,200
There's this problem with me.
I can't hold anything in.

26
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,840
I have to throw it out, you see.

27
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,920
It's a clarification-cum-confession.

28
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,400
I want to clarify something today.
- Done.

29
00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:05,800
I thought Ram Pothineni was someone
with an arrogant attitude.

30
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,720
It was my genuine opinion.
- Okay.

31
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:14,080
Well, from whatever I could gather
from our short meetings.

32
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,640
I didn't know anything about you.
But that was my opinion.

33
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,560
But there was a change of heart
last night. Because of your

34
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,560
interviews, energy levels,
and the way you tease women.

35
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:24,680
What?

36
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,120
It came across like ragging
in college. - It's not me, AI, sir.

37
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,960
After watching your interviews,
I realised you were very sportive.

38
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,400
I came to that conclusion.
So, let's have fun.

39
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:45,640
You were born in Hyderabad, grew up
in Vijayawada and Chennai. - Yeah.

40
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,080
How did this happen?
- A lot of people don't know this.

41
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,080
But... I was born in Hyderabad.

42
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,560
It was my mom's place. My father's
family is based out of Vijayawada.

43
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,000
I think after I was born...
I was born in 1988.

44
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:01,320
About that time there was a
caste-riot, you know.

45
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,040
I mean, at Vijayawada.

46
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,200
My dad was pretty well off.
We were doing really well.

47
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,560
Dad had just come back from
Japan. Business trip and all...

48
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,200
Our family lost everything in that
riots. Overnight, became zero.

49
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,240
So, we decided to move
out of there.

50
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:19,800
We left everything and went
to Chennai.

51
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,200
And started off as a very...
From scratch!

52
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,040
That's why I still respect
my dad because...

53
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:25,280
Rags to riches is different.

54
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,720
This is more like, rags to riches,
and then to rags.

55
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,200
We moved into a different city
and started from scratch again.

56
00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:36,640
It's a very different thing.

57
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,160
I feel not of people can't
relate to this.

58
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,120
Either they understand
rags to riches story,

59
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:41,960
or born with a golden spoon one.

60
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,400
I was born with a golden spoon,

61
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,480
and then, lost everything.
And then, went back.

62
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,480
For example, in Vijayawada,

63
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,280
the room where my toys were stored
was bigger than the house we shifted

64
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,760
to in Chennai.
The change was pretty drastic.

65
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,560
My dad doesn't believe
in asking favours.

66
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,160
He just does it by himself
and all. So... - Okay.

67
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,680
That transition was pretty shocking
to me.

68
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,560
I was like four years old
when I moved to Chennai.

69
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,160
I grew up in Chennai.

70
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,160
No one asked this before. This is
the first time I said... - No.

71
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,560
People wanted to know why we
shifted to Chennai.

72
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,320
But it had nothing to do
with the film industry.

73
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,720
So, dad started off from
the scratch and...

74
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,520
He shifted from television
and video games business...

75
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,880
He used to work with Sony company.
So, he went to Japan for them.

76
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,080
You know, he started trading.
Learnt about stocks and all of that.

77
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,160
I think my dad's salary was around
Rs 5000 when he went to Chennai.

78
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,800
We were living
a very luxurious life.

79
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,040
There's Labbipet in Vijayawada.
We had...

80
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,680
Two buildings with a bridge on
the third floor. We lived there.

81
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,840
From a building with skybridge
in the heart of Vijayawada

82
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:42,720
we shifted to a small house
in Chennai.

83
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,800
And from there we came back.
- Very good.

84
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,360
Well, I didn't know about this.

85
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,280
I wouldn't have asked that
question if I knew.

86
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,440
Because this is... I mean...

87
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,240
I think people should know.
It's good for them.

88
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,400
Because everyone knows
the nature of life. - Yeah.

89
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,200
Ups and downs are inevitable.

90
00:06:08,280 --> 00:06:10,200
I always believe in this.
Well, if you go through

91
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,680
an ordeal, what follows is good.

92
00:06:12,840 --> 00:06:15,000
In the whole world, there are
only two types of people.

93
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,080
One, who separates, and the other,
who brings everyone together.

94
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,880
So, I believe in having more number
of people who joins hearts.

95
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,840
I always wanted to be
someone that...

96
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,640
I'm a strong believer in humanity.

97
00:06:28,840 --> 00:06:30,920
You have a brother, right?
He's a pilot or something.

98
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,360
He was a commercial pilot in
Zealand. Now, he's producing.

99
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,960
We dragged him into production.
Because we needed some support.

100
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:38,760
Okay? Okay!

101
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,880
I heard a lot about him.
That doesn't mean you're bad.

102
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,680
How can 'Rama' ever be bad?

103
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:47,480
What's his name?
- Krishna.

104
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,400
But you seem to have
all his traits.

105
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,160
You take heroines for a ride
in interviews. - Only in interviews.

106
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,000
One has to just see the interviews
to know what happened during shoots.

107
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,960
Where did you harvest gooseberries?

108
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,880
I'm really surprised to see these
pictures of mine from childhood.

109
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,600
They are all yours. - Basically,
my cousin sister was pregnant.

110
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,360
Her husband wasn't there.

111
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,640
He went to abroad on work, I guess.

112
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,000
She was alone... We all used
to live in the same building.

113
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,000
Since she was alone, we took her
out for coffee.

114
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,040
There was this sudden craving and
she asked me get some gooseberries.

115
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,400
I had done a few films by the time.
So, we were sitting inside.

116
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,000
But she insisted on getting it.
- 'I can't go out. There are'

117
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,400
'a lot of people sit there.'
- 'Nothing doing. I want it.'

118
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,440
I pretended that I was
on phone and, you know...

119
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,480
She was pregnant by the end
of the day, you know.

120
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,160
I quietly went to the tree and...
I think she clicked a picture also.

121
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:52,520
That's how it happened.

122
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,880
And then, the manager offered help.

123
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:56,360
So cute.

124
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,000
Brother's tell us all about
this gooseberry story.

125
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,200
'With Ram, I have many funny
and memorable incidents.'

126
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,280
'This happened after Devdas.
We used to frequent Coffee Day.'

127
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,960
'So... I'm very fond
of gooseberries.'

128
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:15,120
'There was this gooseberry tree at
Coffee Day, full of gooseberries.'

129
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,640
'I asked him to get some. So,
he pretended that he was phone...'

130
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,240
'and plucked a couple of them.'

131
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,880
'And then, somebody from
Coffee Day said,'

132
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,120
'Sir, we will pluck
and give them to you.'

133
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,160
'So, we always laughed about it
how funny it was.'

134
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,200
'So, Ram, I always think of
you as a brother.'

135
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,920
'And the way you are with us
and the family,'

136
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,560
'it never reminds us of'

137
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,360
'what an amazing actor you are
and how successful you are.'

138
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,560
'And I'm proud of you for the kind
of person you turned out to be.'

139
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,000
'All the best and looking forward to
all great things in store for you.'

140
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:56,680
Cousin sister.

141
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,600
How old were you then? - It was
went 'Devdas' came out. Sixteen...

142
00:09:05,680 --> 00:09:07,920
You did 'Devas' at sixteen?
- I was fifteen then.

143
00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:17,880
I met Mr Chowdary when I was 14.

144
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:19,760
M S Raju met with me before that.

145
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:21,800
I think it was for
'Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana'.

146
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:23,480
I was just 13 then.

147
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,280
I didn't take Mr Chowdary seriously.
Because I was just 14 then.

148
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,000
But he asked me to grow a moustache.

149
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,200
Were you able to do that
at such a young age?

150
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:36,320
Fourteen! You were just a kid.

151
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:42,440
So, it's not your fault at all.

152
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,560
You made a romantic movie
when you were just 14.

153
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,920
That's why you were able to continue
it this long. It's a good thing.

154
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,040
I just love your ragging.
- Stop calling it ragging, please.

155
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:02,440
I watched you tease Sreeleela.

156
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,520
And then, Anupama.

157
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,000
Barring Genelia and Ileana videos,
I watched the rest.

158
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,560
You really teased them to the core.
But it was very cute.

159
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:22,200
Well, people do at least a few
movies before going Pan India.

160
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,280
But your very first film
went to Hollywood. - Hollywood?

161
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,080
You were born in Hyderabad,

162
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,240
but grew up in Vijayawada
and Chennai.

163
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,520
And you studied in Bangalore.
- No. Chennai, sir.

164
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,960
You studied in Chennai?
- That's not the word for it.

165
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:38,320
I didn't do any studies, you see.

166
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,200
I went to school in Chennai.

167
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,240
Where did you do your graduation?
- I didn't do graduation.

168
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,040
After 11th grade, I went into films.
I started doing films at 14.

169
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,720
I heard you used to write exams
to get pass marks.

170
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,680
You were so focused on getting
into films, right?

171
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,560
Looks like it's inborn.

172
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,680
At the very young age...
Well, getting into films at

173
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,840
fourteen or fifteen is
an achievement by itself.

174
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,200
You made a short film
before that, right?

175
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,160
You were too young and not
so well built to make

176
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:18,200
even a short film. One of them went
to Pan India level. - International.

177
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,320
To Europe, I guess.
- Yeah...

178
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,640
Tell us about it a little bit.

179
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,440
I told my mom and dad I want to
become an actor when I was eight.

180
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,200
Well, they all thought that
I want to become

181
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,760
an actor because my uncle
is a producer.

182
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,360
So, my parents sat me down
and said...

183
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,120
'It's going to cost millions.
We aren't going to ask them.'

184
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,480
'Ask him to produce just because
you're his nephew.'

185
00:11:39,560 --> 00:11:42,320
I was genuinely hurt. Because I was
very passionate about films.

186
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,200
Just because my uncle was a producer
they may have interpreted it...

187
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,840
So, when I was eight,
I promised my parents.

188
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:49,920
I was more like a warning,
you see.

189
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,200
I told them that if I ever act
in my home banner,

190
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:55,920
it'll only be after proving myself

191
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:57,880
and having producers
waiting to book me.

192
00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:58,800
I was only eight then.

193
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,920
I wanted to prove myself in Tamil.
I didn't want to come to Telugu.

194
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,240
What in Tamil?
- I wanted to prove myself in Tamil.

195
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,240
Not many people know this.

196
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:10,960
I used to go for lot of auditions.

197
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,120
You know, how these
auditions were.

198
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,280
It was quite different. Because
whenever I was in Hyderabad,

199
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,960
at Sravanthi Office, there would
be a room full of pictures.

200
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,120
You know, filled with aspiring
actor's portfolios.

201
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,400
And I used to see at least 50
aspirants outside the office.

202
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,080
Especially, at that time,
my uncle was a big producer.

203
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:26,840
'Nuvvu Naaku Nachav', 'Nuvve Nuvve',
'Nuvve Kavali'.

204
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,320
He had given back-to-back hits.

205
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:29,680
That was the scene at Hyderabad.

206
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,680
But I used to give auditions
at Chennai.

207
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,240
One of the guys when I was
at a modelling agency...

208
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,640
I was there to make a portfolio.

209
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,040
This guy wanted to make
a short film.

210
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,720
This was in the year 2000.
I didn't know what a short film was.

211
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:43,440
YouTube was founded in 2006.

212
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,200
So, you can imagine
the situation then.

213
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,520
That movie was shot with a proper
camera and other equipments.

214
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,400
He worked very hard for it.
He was a producer, too.

215
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:51,960
That went to Europe Film Festival.

216
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,480
In Switzerland, there was 120 films
from 60 different countries.

217
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:55,840
I got the best actor award.

218
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,960
I got offers from a lot of Tamil
producers after this short film.

219
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:08,920
Mr Shankar had just
got into production.

220
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,680
He had made 'Kaadhal' by then.
And then, Oscar Ravichandran,

221
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,320
the producer of Aparichithudu.
He wanted to introduce me.

222
00:13:14,680 --> 00:13:16,360
I was flooded with offers.

223
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,000
I had done one short film then.

224
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:19,920
It wasn't easy to make
unlike now.

225
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,960
It was very difficult to explain
people what a short film was.

226
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,040
It was a problem then.
The film length was 42 mins.

227
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,720
Friends would go, 'Are you doing
a film?' - Me, 'Yes, it's 42 mins.'

228
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,080
'What about the rest?' - 'There's
no rest. It's only 42 mins long.'

229
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:31,640
When is it getting released?
- During festival.

230
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,320
Then they would ask me,
'On Deepavali or Dussehra?'

231
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,600
'Neither. It will get released
only in Film Festivals.'

232
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:37,840
It was very difficult for me

233
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,640
to explain the concept
of short films back then.

234
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,360
I wanted to prove myself in Tamil.

235
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,360
I almost signed a couple of films.

236
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,120
M S Raju garu came to me
after watching the short film.

237
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,120
But he went back after knowing
my age was only 13.

238
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,640
And then, I almost signed another
Tamil film in Chennai.

239
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,320
That's when Mr Chowdary
offered to introduce me.

240
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:56,760
And I didn't take him seriously.

241
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,400
I had met with a lot of people.
I didn't want to get into Telugu.

242
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:00,760
I wanted to prove myself
in Tamil first.

243
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:02,680
But I said okay to him.

244
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:04,440
And he thought I'm doing his film.

245
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:05,640
I continued with that film.

246
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,000
He phoned and went, 'I told you
I'm going to introduce you.'

247
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:09,160
'What are you doing?'

248
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,120
I said, 'I meet a lot of people,
but nothing materialises.'

249
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:13,880
'I want to prove myself in Tamil.'

250
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:15,840
He flew to Chennai again
because of what I said to him.

251
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,080
He asked me hang up and flew
to Chennai. It was a 4 am meeting.

252
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:19,360
He was staying in a guest house.

253
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,080
I went to see him at 4 am.

254
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,320
He said, 'Are you aware
of my body of work?'

255
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:25,960
But I explained him
my situation.

256
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,680
He went, 'I'm going to produce. You
don't have to worry about it.'

257
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,800
How old were you?
- I was 11 then.

258
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,080
Eleven?
- Yeah.

259
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,000
A baby...

260
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,640
This is one of the most
high moments in life.

261
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,680
After 'Devdas', I did 'Jagadam'.
Even though 'Jagadam' bombed,

262
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,560
I had offers from a lot of producers
and directors.

263
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:02,960
I mean, top most producers.

264
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,360
I was spending some time
with my uncle...

265
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,280
My uncle has always been
a backbone for my career...

266
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:12,040
I was affected adversely after
'Jagadam'. I was a 17 year old.

267
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:13,640
I think I was 18 back then.

268
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,360
I was like, how could such a good
film not do well at the box office.

269
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,960
I was young. I was only 18,
you know.

270
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:20,360
I didn't do films for a year.

271
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:22,320
I was sitting at home,
figuring out...

272
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,680
I was watching 'Nuvvu Naaku Nachav'
on TV.

273
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,080
And then, thought about making
a film for families,

274
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,480
you know, something that you can
watch whenever it's on TV.

275
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,400
Then, I had a chat about it
with my uncle.

276
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,080
He went, 'Let's do something
interesting and a family film, too.'

277
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:36,640
That's when I went and told
my mother.

278
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,240
'See, it's not like I don't have
any producers. There are so many.'

279
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:40,800
'This guy and that one, too.'

280
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:42,160
'Now, I want to do it
for my home banner.'

281
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,040
'Like I said when I was eight.
That's what...'

282
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,640
That was a high moment
in my life.

283
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:48,640
Ready was a first film
for my home banner.

284
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:54,800
You got your revenge.
- No...

285
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:56,600
I mean, you proved yourself.
- It's more of...

286
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,080
Despite giving your everything,

287
00:15:58,120 --> 00:15:59,240
people would give credit
to something else.

288
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:00,840
You know, it's always been like...

289
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,400
Even my life if you see,
as I told you a while ago,

290
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,080
people relate to the stories
of rags to riches.

291
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,120
People also relate to born
with a golden spoon.

292
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:11,920
For me, it was like
riches to rags to riches.

293
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,120
So, this is what nepotism is.
For example...

294
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:15,920
I'm considered a nepo kid.

295
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,040
But nepo kids have
a lot of attention.

296
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,520
But for my first film, 'Devadasu',
it took 47 days for people

297
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,440
to come to theatres
and talk about it.

298
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:24,840
No one came to watch my film.

299
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,640
It's one of a kind film, where it
picked up on 47th day onwards

300
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:29,880
and it was re-released.

301
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:31,720
I'm considered a nepo-kid, but no.

302
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:33,400
I'm considered rich, but no.

303
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:38,760
It has been a very...

304
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,800
It's difficult for people to
understand where I come from.

305
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,760
One thing I know about life is
everything happens for a reason.

306
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,000
Whatever happened to you
in childhood,

307
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,640
helped you become smarter...
- Yeah.

308
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,480
And think harder, you became
very passionate.

309
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:58,120
At the age of about 12, you started
your career. - Yeah...

310
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,960
I mean, your film journey
started then.

311
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,360
Whether it's a short film,
or other films,

312
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,640
the discussions on 'Devadasu'.

313
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,840
Accepting the failure of 'Jagadam'.

314
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,720
Well, all these events
and incidents

315
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:16,880
are lessons which really helped
you to become a proper star.

316
00:17:17,120 --> 00:17:18,720
That's the way it works.

317
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:20,560
Everything happens for a reason.

318
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,040
I'm very glad it all happened.

319
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,600
Shaped me who I am.
- Yeah. Exactly.

320
00:17:30,360 --> 00:17:32,560
This didn't surprise me, but...

321
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,840
I heard that you turn off your phone
go away if you need a break.

322
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,840
I don't turn off my phone.
I own multiple phones an numbers.

323
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,480
I don't know my numbers
by heart to be honest.

324
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,360
I randomly pick up a phone
and leave.

325
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,360
So, the phone I take with me
may not have Whatsapp in it.

326
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,360
I like to disconnect and go off.
Go off abroad.

327
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,240
Not as a traveller.
I want to go live there.

328
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,200
I'm interested in knowing
their culture.

329
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:56,480
Because of lack of education,

330
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,080
I understood the importance
of exposure.

331
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:00,800
I read this as a kid.

332
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:04,000
'Education teaches you two plus
two is four.'

333
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,240
'But exposure will also
let you know that'

334
00:18:06,360 --> 00:18:08,120
'three plus one can also
become four.'

335
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:09,760
'Five minus one can also
become four.'

336
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:11,800
I mean, there is more
than one way to do things.

337
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,960
That's what exposure is.
- Superb!

338
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,120
That always fascinated me,
you know.

339
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:17,600
Learning about people.

340
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:19,760
Doing all of that.
Living a different life.

341
00:18:20,120 --> 00:18:24,200
To the point where...
I respect and I...

342
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,720
I mean,
we don't appreciate our life.

343
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:27,880
We kind of take it for granted.

344
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,840
But once you go out
and spend some time

345
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,080
elsewhere and return,
you'll appreciate a lot of things.

346
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,200
And also, there's a lot of
calculations here.

347
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:36,840
I mean who am I as a human being?

348
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,160
Well, not as an actor, but as a
human being, am I a good person?

349
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,520
Whether people like me or not?
I wanted to carry out that test.

350
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,360
Just live by myself.
Meet random people.

351
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,560
I introduce myself as a student.
I still do that.

352
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,480
I like to travel, get to know
myself.

353
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,480
Stay in touch with reality
and then, come back.

354
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:57,960
You were not just travelling.

355
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,600
I think you were
travelling inside. - Yeah.

356
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,800
Into yourself.
- Yes. It's more of a journey...

357
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,560
You've learnt a lot through
those exposures.

358
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,800
That is knowledge again.

359
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,000
Perspectives...
- Perspectives and everything.

360
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,560
See, we play so many roles
in our life.

361
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,400
I don't mean, film roles.
- Yeah.

362
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,280
We see a lot of interesting
characters around us.

363
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,680
And you get a lot of pointers from

364
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,800
watching people.
Okay, this is how they live.

365
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,680
We get to know how they live
and behave.

366
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,080
It brings a lot of peace to us.
Our understanding is different.

367
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,320
For example, there is
a very beautiful experience

368
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:34,480
a lot of people can relate to.

369
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,600
When the film, 'Devadasu'
came out...

370
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,520
It was a blockbuster.
We didn't know how and why.

371
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,160
Mr Chiranjeevi asked to
watch the movie once.

372
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:43,760
Mr Chowdary always told me
one thing.

373
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:45,160
'Don't relax because
the movie is a hit.'

374
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:46,200
'You are not a star's son.'

375
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:47,520
'Every film is your first film.'

376
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,120
'You have to prove yourself
with every film of yours.'

377
00:19:49,120 --> 00:19:50,760
'It would have been
different if you were a star kid.'

378
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:51,800
I came to terms with it.

379
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:53,440
I didn't have any intentions
to prove anything.

380
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,920
I was all about enjoying things
while I am there.

381
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,000
Charan hasn't been introduced yet.

382
00:19:58,120 --> 00:20:00,440
I was sitting down
with Mr Chiranjeevi.

383
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:01,440
Charan was there too.

384
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,080
We have to get introduced, right?
I was feeling a lot of pressure.

385
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,200
The debut film was a hit.

386
00:20:05,360 --> 00:20:06,800
Generally

387
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,200
I wish I also had
a father like that.

388
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,360
I would have been introduced well.

389
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:12,880
I was actually feeling bad for him.

390
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:14,720
I have no pressure.
I am simply enjoying my time.

391
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:16,560
He is facing a lot of pressure

392
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,720
to introduce his son.
Charan is facing a lot of pressure.

393
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,280
When people talk
about nepotism,

394
00:20:21,360 --> 00:20:22,840
even though I am
not a part of that...

395
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:24,520
I feel that I am not a part of that.

396
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,160
My perspective has always
been very different.

397
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,680
I feel sad when I think about
the pressure they have been facing.

398
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,880
It all comes down to perspective
and how you look at things.

399
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,440
Not a lot of people understand
that as well.

400
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:38,320
That was very beautiful.
People also need to know about that.

401
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:45,560
You know your films.

402
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,560
I shouldn't be asking this question.

403
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,120
I am just like you.
You don't party much.

404
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,240
No one spots you at any parties.

405
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:54,960
You have no interest.

406
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,080
What is the thought behind that?

407
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:58,120
There is no thought.

408
00:20:58,120 --> 00:21:00,280
We feel energetic when we
are doing something we like.

409
00:21:00,360 --> 00:21:02,600
I feel that there is no energy
when I go to parties.

410
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,000
I can shoot four days non-stop.
I will have the energy.

411
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,760
The thought of getting dressed
for a party after work...

412
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:09,720
Okay.

413
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,120
Basically, that's not in you.

414
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,040
Yeah. I don't like it.
I don't like the crowd.

415
00:21:15,120 --> 00:21:18,160
Even if I don't go to a party,
I invite the host home the next day.

416
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:19,680
I like one-on-one interactions more.

417
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,000
There will be
an honest conversation.

418
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,200
I heard you were a chef.
- I wouldn't call myself a chef.

419
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:32,200
I like cooking.

420
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,360
You do have a kitchen set-up
in your flat.

421
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,960
When I was abroad,
I had to cook for myself.

422
00:21:37,120 --> 00:21:38,400
In my entire career,
I took four breaks

423
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:39,600
which were almost one year each.

424
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,600
Many people made many comments.

425
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:42,920
I have never lived
my life like that.

426
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,240
I disconnect and go abroad.
I do my own laundry.

427
00:21:45,360 --> 00:21:46,720
I cook my own food

428
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:48,400
I cook my own meals.
I like to learn all those things.

429
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,520
That's how it began.
I wouldn't call myself a chef.

430
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:51,960
Nice.

431
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,120
Okay, that's very cute.

432
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,760
Being a star,
you are an ordinary man.

433
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:03,600
No ordinary man is ordinary.

434
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:10,960
The other talent you have
is writing the lyrics of the songs.

435
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,000
Writing the lyrics...

436
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,360
Very cute. I looked
at it last night.

437
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:19,080
It was very nice.

438
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,640
How did you get
into writing the lyrics?

439
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,000
People who are in love tend to
find this interesting.

440
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,480
How many exes do you have?
How are you writing those lyrics?

441
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:50,560
You are feeling shy.

442
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,200
No, I would feel shy
when they cheer like that.

443
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,280
Their cheers are making you shy.

444
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,720
I am happy that a lot of people
felt that way.

445
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:05,560
'Andhra King Thaluka'
has been a very

446
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,520
different experience for me
as an actor and an audience.

447
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,120
As a star too.
You could probably relate to it.

448
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,640
Who are they?
Why are they admiring us so much?

449
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,600
Why are they prioritising
us over their family?

450
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:17,720
We feel the guilt at times.

451
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:19,400
We kind of go along
with it generally.

452
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,440
We always go back to a small
thought of guilt.

453
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,360
What is the relationship
between a star and a fan?

454
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,160
I always had that
question on my mind.

455
00:23:26,360 --> 00:23:27,680
I was always vocal about it.

456
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:29,920
This film answered that question.

457
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:31,800
It changes the way I see a film.

458
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,200
For the first time in my life

459
00:23:34,360 --> 00:23:36,040
I took up a film because
I want to put this story out there.

460
00:23:36,120 --> 00:23:38,360
Everyone needs to watch this film.

461
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,400
The kind of characters
he has written...

462
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,840
Especially the character Sagar.
It is a biopic of a fan.

463
00:23:43,120 --> 00:23:45,800
We were planning on discussing
with the lyricist.

464
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,200
I was wondering how to express
my feelings about all of this.

465
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,520
I wrote a reference
and took it to him.

466
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,520
Mahesh said,
'Sir, these are the lyrics'.

467
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,200
It was all about what the
character goes through.

468
00:23:59,360 --> 00:24:01,840
I was able to find that
character through that song.

469
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:03,960
By the end of the day,
I was clarified about the casting.

470
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:05,920
It didn't happen yet.

471
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,560
That's why this is happening.

472
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,480
That was a very
beautiful experience.

473
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,400
I took it as a reference.
Mahesh took them up as lyrics.

474
00:24:18,360 --> 00:24:23,400
You have such serious creativity.
You have seen the world.

475
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,280
Where does romance fit in your life?

476
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,440
Romance is not in the equation.
- No?

477
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,400
That's why I show glimpses
of those in the film.

478
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,560
Romance is only for the movies.
What about your marriage?

479
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:39,440
Marriage and natural calamities

480
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,720
are not in our hands.
It happens of its own accord.

481
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:45,920
Does it mean something is going on?

482
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,360
You stop at the ragging.

483
00:24:57,360 --> 00:24:58,600
Only until 6.

484
00:24:58,840 --> 00:24:59,960
I pack up after 6.

485
00:25:00,120 --> 00:25:01,680
6 am?
- No, 6 pm.

486
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:08,520
This is a family show, isn't it?

487
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:11,560
You are a family hero.

488
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:20,080
Okay, let's go back to your film.
'Andhra King Thaluka'.

489
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,040
Before we do that, what's
the deal with cheesa peez?

490
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:27,520
Why are you laughing?
There must be something. Tell us.

491
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,680
I am fond of pizza
ever since I was a child.

492
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:32,120
I went to Vijayawada once.

493
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,760
All of my cousins were gathered.

494
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,640
I think it was my sister.
I don't remember very well.

495
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:39,520
'Pizza cheese. Pizza cheese.'
That's our thing.

496
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,480
When you say it repeatedly,
it becomes a tongue twister.

497
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:44,840
By the time we went there, the
man asked, 'What do you want?'

498
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:46,320
We panicked and said, 'Cheesa peez'.

499
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:48,640
That's what we have been
calling it ever since.

500
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,280
More of an inside joke.

501
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,600
Who is your stylist, Ram?
- Sir?

502
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:01,400
Does your style have
more of your involvement?

503
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,320
I have been doing it by myself
most of the time.

504
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,840
You can write the lyrics.
You can style your outfits.

505
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,120
I heard you are writing stories.

506
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:10,960
I keep writing something for fun.

507
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:15,000
You won't write it for fun.
Direction must be on your mind.

508
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,240
Direction is the most torturous job.

509
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,560
When I look at the directors,
I feel bad for them.

510
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:21,920
They are passionate
about directing a film.

511
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,600
95% of what they do is about
managing everyone around.

512
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,640
5% is about them directing the film.

513
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,400
People who actually want to direct
have to go through a lot

514
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,960
to do what they want.
- I am proud of them.

515
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,320
Directors are called the
'Captain of the ship' for a reason.

516
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,600
Directors won't just be thinking
about 24 crafts.

517
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:40,880
They have about 80 crafts
on their minds.

518
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:42,440
They think about everything.

519
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,960
I worked with Mahesh as well.

520
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,440
He is a good kid.
He is sensible as well.

521
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:51,640
From all the interviews I have seen
about the combination

522
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,920
of music and the way
it is coming out

523
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,960
I think it is going
to be a blockbuster.

524
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:58,440
I have a good feeling.

525
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,480
You will truly become
the king of Andhra.

526
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:09,120
I hope that you do.
But who is the queen of Telangana?

527
00:27:14,360 --> 00:27:15,760
Basically, the movie
is set in the 2000s.

528
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,600
That's why we called it
'Andhra King Thaluka'.

529
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,440
Many people asked about that.
Our producers were a little

530
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,920
sceptic about Andhra and Telangana.
The movie is set in the 2000s.

531
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,840
We all danced to a song called
'Made In Andhra Student'.

532
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,320
I am asking about the heroine.
Who is the heroine?

533
00:27:30,360 --> 00:27:32,600
I am trying to adapt a sly technique
to divert the topic.

534
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:37,840
Who is the heroine?
- Bhagyashree Bhosle.

535
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,360
Is she just the heroine?
Or is there an extension to that?

536
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:41,920
No, just the heroine.

537
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,120
You have your poker face on.

538
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,360
You have your poker face on.

539
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,640
Everyone is reacting like this
because of the song.

540
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:59,200
Okay. Riteish and Genelia
are your close friends.

541
00:27:59,360 --> 00:28:01,280
What are the common points
where you connected?

542
00:28:01,360 --> 00:28:04,560
Genelia was the first star
I worked with.

543
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,600
The other women I worked
with were newcomers.

544
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:09,040
There is a homely aspect to it.

545
00:28:09,120 --> 00:28:11,600
It was more like a family
kind of bonding.

546
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,120
We expect stars to have a tantrum.

547
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,800
She was a top star in all four
languages with blockbuster movies.

548
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,240
I don't think we ever...
We kept talking about it.

549
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,560
I don't think we have ever worked
with someone who is

550
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:24,760
so production-friendly,
and who is so concerned

551
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,240
with the production
and the shooting.

552
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,560
People would enjoy it if the shoot
was cancelled due to rain.

553
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,240
Not many people show concern.

554
00:28:33,360 --> 00:28:35,560
That's why I connected
and bonded with her as a family.

555
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,360
We have been a family ever since.

556
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,240
Ram, of course...

557
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,320
Everyone doesn't have to know
about everything.

558
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,240
But you have complete
control of your life.

559
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,280
Okay.
No one knows much about your life.

560
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,800
Let it be your background.
We don't see many people.

561
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,120
No one talks about anyone
related to you.

562
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:04,080
It is a very good thing.
I appreciate that.

563
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,360
But we are curious.

564
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:09,560
The audience is curious.
I am, too.

565
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:11,800
We are curious
about this generation.

566
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,040
You live in an apartment
all by yourself. - Yes.

567
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,840
There were never any confirmed
news about your affairs.

568
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,640
There were only whispers
about hearsay.

569
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,960
There must have been an affair.
Or there is one now. I am not sure.

570
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,000
I won't say it out loud
even if I know about that.

571
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:27,640
Okay.

572
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,920
Would you like to say something?
Do you have any affairs or not?

573
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,600
Sir, all of my life,
there are talks about what

574
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:35,800
I might have said or done.
Everything is hearsay.

575
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,360
No one knows anything
unless they really know me.

576
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,480
I like to keep my life private.

577
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,560
When it comes to relationships

578
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,200
I think we need to
respect other people.

579
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:46,640
It is not just your story to tell.

580
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:48,080
You have to respect others.

581
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,000
They might
or might not be comfortable.

582
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:51,320
I like to keep things private.

583
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:52,760
You are being very cautious.

584
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,000
Forget about everything, Ram.

585
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:03,560
You came out in a bold manner
in a situation involving Ramesh.

586
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:05,800
He is your relative.
He is your uncle.

587
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:06,920
Yes, he is my uncle.

588
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,120
You spoke about the issue.

589
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,800
For someone of your age,
and being in the same state

590
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:16,200
you were able to speak up.
It is something to feel proud of.

591
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:17,360
Good job.

592
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,720
I would like to clarify.
It is not about speaking up.

593
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,520
It is about standing up for what's
right and for your family.

594
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:29,880
To speak more clearly
from the bottom of my heart...

595
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:31,480
It won't be easy to
put it in words.

596
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:33,680
I have always seen everyone
as human beings first.

597
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:35,400
Let it be my mom.
Let it be my dad.

598
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,480
Let it be my brother.
Let it be my friend.

599
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:39,720
For example, if my friend
caused a car crash

600
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,600
and called me to inform about

601
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,600
that I would go there and
find out who is in the right.

602
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:46,440
If it were my friend's fault,
I would talk to him.

603
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:48,880
I will support him as a friend.
But I would point out his mistake.

604
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:50,480
I would tell him he is wrong.
I would tell him to come clean.

605
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,240
I have always been
that kind of person.

606
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,320
I treat myself in the same way.
That's how I am.

607
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:59,320
When I knew what's right and what's
not, I had to stand up for it.

608
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,000
The narrative keeps changing.

609
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:03,840
Be it my relative.
Be it whoever it is.

610
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,480
If I think it is right,
I won't back down from it.

611
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:08,720
I will stand up for what's right.

612
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,680
That's what I have done. It is
not about standing up for someone.

613
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:12,000
It isn't about who
is on the other side.

614
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,760
I would have done the same
thing for a friend.

615
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:17,400
That's not...

616
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:19,240
Whatever you feel is right,
I think

617
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,760
everyone must stand up for it.
There is no point in it otherwise.

618
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,920
Taking someone's side because
they are family

619
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:26,720
is not right.
We can't blindly take sides.

620
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,520
I have always looked up to my uncle.

621
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,360
He is an All India ranker
in our family.

622
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,800
He came second all over India.
He got many offers.

623
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,320
Let it be abroad.
Let it be Hyderabad.

624
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,000
It's how they show it in a movie.

625
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:41,840
A man works hard and gets rich.

626
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:43,160
He wants to contribute
to his village.

627
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,320
I wouldn't have believed
in those concepts,

628
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:46,360
if I hadn't seen him.

629
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:48,840
He achieved so much in life.
He was at his peak level.

630
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:49,920
He came to Vijayawada

631
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:51,320
because he wanted to do
something for his people.

632
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:52,720
That's the kind of person he is.

633
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,000
There is no way these kinds
of things could have happened.

634
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:57,400
You should view someone
at a human level.

635
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:00,600
You should know how they are as a
person when you look at his work.

636
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,480
He has a very good name.
He has an excellent reputation.

637
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:05,280
He is a gentleman.
Yes. Yes.

638
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,080
Whatever it is, Ram...

639
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,600
It is different when
you are talking among yourselves.

640
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,400
It is different to speak about it
openly. It needs courage.

641
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,880
It is something else entirely.

642
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:20,640
There is more power against you.
But you withstand your power.

643
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:21,960
Sir, when it comes to me

644
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,240
I don't fear what others
think about me.

645
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,600
I worry about what
I think about myself.

646
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,840
Let it be any situation.
What drives me is that

647
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:31,680
I don't worry about what others
might think if I do something.

648
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,880
I worry about what I would think
of myself if I don't do something.

649
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:34,960
That has always been my...

650
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,120
I have always been scared
of what I think about myself.

651
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:38,640
Very good. Very well.

652
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,560
Okay, you spoke about Ramesh.
I talked about him too.

653
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:43,200
Let's hear what he has to say.

654
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:44,600
Okay, brothers.

655
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:45,680
'Ram.'

656
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,520
'He is my brother's son.'

657
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:55,160
'He has been naughty. When his
mother scolded him as a child,'

658
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:57,160
'he used to say
that he would go to 'Patrick.'

659
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,800
'We never understood what
he meant by that.'

660
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,800
'But later on, we realised
he was pointing at the road.'

661
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:04,840
'He wants to go to traffic.'

662
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,080
'Education.'

663
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,080
'His teacher used to'

664
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:10,920
'talk to his parents often.'

665
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,440
'His teacher said he could learn
if he studies hard.'

666
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,480
'But that he doesn't focus much.'

667
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,320
'She said he isn't
focused on the exams much.'

668
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:20,360
'So...'

669
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,800
'I think we worked on a documentary
when he was 13 years old.'

670
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,200
'He worked on a documentary.'

671
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:28,760
'Everyone in our family
thought it was good.'

672
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,520
'He passed his
tenth with 60% scores.'

673
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,640
'He left the other questions.'

674
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:35,720
'What we found out later was that'

675
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,920
'if he had gotten good marks,
he would have to do his MBBS.'

676
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:40,920
'Or something else
in the higher professions.'

677
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:42,680
'He felt that way.'

678
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,040
'So he left the questions.'

679
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:49,080
‘He decided to be an actor.
He told his parents.'

680
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:51,240
'There will be discussions
among the family.'

681
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:53,640
'All the other members'

682
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:57,720
'were scared of the film industry.'

683
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:01,040
'Devdas was first released
in 2014 or 2015.'

684
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,720
'He learnt dance when he was a kid.'

685
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,800
'He has a clear focus on his life.'

686
00:34:08,240 --> 00:34:10,080
'He was clear about his life
when he was 15 years old.'

687
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:14,160
'We thought we should let him
try his luck.'

688
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:18,240
'He danced to a song
called 'Bangaram Bangaram'.

689
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:20,120
'When I saw that'

690
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:25,720
'I felt the goosebumps.
I was proud of him.'

691
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:29,640
'All of our family members
were proud of him.'

692
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,200
'He is loving and caring
towards everyone.'

693
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,760
'When someone needs him,
he takes a stand for them.'

694
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:37,640
'He will do whatever he can.'

695
00:34:37,720 --> 00:34:41,120
'All of us are very proud
to have Ram'

696
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,360
'in our family.'

697
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,560
We are getting to know you better.

698
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:54,680
He was speaking out of love for you.

699
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,360
You have the same kind of love.

700
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,480
That's why it is being reflected
from him.

701
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:01,840
Or else, we never know.
- We learn from our family.

702
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,040
We see our family members
and learn from them.

703
00:35:04,240 --> 00:35:06,280
No one will understand our
preaching. They follow our actions.

704
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,120
That's what I have learnt.
I have seen all of them.

705
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,720
Who is the critic among your
family when it comes to movies?

706
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,600
I don't discuss films
when I am at home.

707
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:15,720
I don't talk much about it.

708
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,000
A phone call after
watching the movie. That's it.

709
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:22,040
Generally, we don't talk much
about the movies.

710
00:35:22,720 --> 00:35:24,520
The worst critic would be my dad.

711
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,120
Pick up a bottle, and he will
praise you for doing a good job.

712
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:28,880
That's how he is.

713
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,960
We all need one person like that
in our lives, no matter what.

714
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,240
When we are in the industry,
especially right now.

715
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:35,840
We see a lot of
negativity everywhere.

716
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,800
Negativity gets more money
than positivity.

717
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,760
I think it is essential that
we have such people in our lives.

718
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:43,800
Someone who constantly fills
us up with positive energy.

719
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:46,400
Worst critic would be my dad.
-Probably yourself.

720
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,960
Me...
I work very differently.

721
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:50,680
It is challenging to explain.

722
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,440
I won't criticise anything.
For me, it is all about

723
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:54,720
viewing things differently.

724
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,320
I don't think twice about how
I performed the dance step.

725
00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:00,280
I worry I won't be able to perform
such an excellent step again.

726
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:01,720
I would want to enjoy myself
while doing that.

727
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:03,000
My mindset is different.

728
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:04,880
I worry about thoroughly
enjoying the moment.

729
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,440
My enjoyment on screen is
what translates as

730
00:36:08,720 --> 00:36:10,800
my energy and my joyfulness.

731
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,400
I don't worry about things
when I watch the movie.

732
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:15,320
Everything is a learning experience.

733
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:20,560
Sharwanand is your cousin.

734
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,680
My cousin got married
to his brother.

735
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,520
You came up with a great thought.
Ramdom.

736
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:29,280
Ramdom thought on social media.
- A nice wordplay, I would say.

737
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,400
Ramdom.
It's nice.

738
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,000
Are you using your writing skills
on that platform?

739
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:36,440
It's not writing.
It is basically

740
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,120
thoughts and
random thoughts, like I said.

741
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,120
We come across many random
thoughts in our lives.

742
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,360
I just put it down and write.

743
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:45,080
I used to do that a lot.

744
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:46,840
You possess many skills.
- I don't do it much.

745
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:48,920
We still have a lot of creativity
to witness.

746
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:50,400
I can see that.

747
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:52,960
When will you work on
being a director?

748
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:54,280
I have no interest at all.

749
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,400
Well, it's a very difficult thing.

750
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:58,000
Yeah. I like to...

751
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,080
I like acting.
I can do it.

752
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,000
Once the shot is done, I disconnect.

753
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,000
I bow down to all the directors

754
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,320
for what they do.
- I know. Actually...

755
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,720
Actually... In fact,
I feel that they should

756
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:11,720
get more credit.
The directors should.

757
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:18,160
Ram, Brahmayya and Company,
in Chennai, they are...

758
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:20,560
They are friends with everyone.

759
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,360
They are close to everyone,
including my family.

760
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:24,200
Sir.

761
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,280
Mr Ram Mohan Rao

762
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:29,880
did a lot for my brother and me.
- Sir.

763
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:34,080
He is the closest person
to our family as well.

764
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:37,440
And see... You have lovely
relatives all around you.

765
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:41,120
You have people
who are wonderful,

766
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:45,160
intelligent, compassionate
and passionate about their work.

767
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:49,680
So, a few words about him...
- He is like the head of the family.

768
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:54,000
And lots of things that... What I am
lucky about with my family is...

769
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,280
Be it their money or whatever...
Keeping it aside,

770
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:58,280
they are great human beings.
- Yes.

771
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:00,640
Very good...
- So, to speak about him...

772
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,200
We think we don't have time.
My mother always used to say...

773
00:38:03,240 --> 00:38:05,200
'When your grandpa
has time, how can you not?'

774
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:07,560
I mean, he handled
his real estate business. You know,

775
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:09,840
he built one of the most
iconic buildings in Chennai.

776
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,720
At the same time, he was a CA.
He was working for everyone.

777
00:38:13,720 --> 00:38:17,040
Despite being so busy, he knew

778
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:20,760
about the studies of the brother

779
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:22,680
of his driver's cousin.

780
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:24,040
He would help them financially.

781
00:38:24,240 --> 00:38:26,080
So, he was so concerned
about everyone.

782
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:27,240
Yes.

783
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,160
So, I think that is something

784
00:38:29,240 --> 00:38:31,120
nobody can ever
match up to in our family.

785
00:38:31,240 --> 00:38:33,240
Yes.
- But we observed him as kids.

786
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:35,480
So, he would consider
everyone family. How...

787
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,240
How can you even know about that
person? It's a distant connection.

788
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:39,840
How many people work under you?

789
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:42,240
The son of their relative's relative

790
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,760
is studying engineering.
'Is he studying well? Yes.'

791
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:46,880
'Let's give him a job.'
He is like that.

792
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,000
So, I have grown up
seeing these people.

793
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:51,560
So, what I have learnt
from my family

794
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:54,040
is at a human level,
they are great people.

795
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:57,040
I am always proud to have a family
that has someone like that.

796
00:39:02,240 --> 00:39:05,040
And he was one of the major reasons
why we moved to Chennai.

797
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:06,800
Looking at him...
If only one person

798
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:08,680
is at a lower position
than everyone else,

799
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:11,600
that will be troublesome.
My father would have been like...

800
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,280
'I did everything, but lost it.'
He constantly keeps seeing that.

801
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:16,120
It's not about jealousy
or anything else.

802
00:39:16,240 --> 00:39:18,160
It's about... Your morale goes down.

803
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,360
So, when you need a fresh start,
go to a new place.

804
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:23,120
Even though, he was there,
we didn't know Tamil at that time.

805
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:25,240
My father started off from there.

806
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:26,840
These decisions...

807
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,040
We think such things
only if we care about someone.

808
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:32,160
So, we understand those decisions
once we grow up.

809
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:34,680
What was their thought process
behind this decision?

810
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:37,680
How much do you care for a person
to be able to do all of that?

811
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:41,440
Today, to surprise our guest,
we are going to play a special AV.

812
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:42,480
Can you tell us about it?

813
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:44,240
How can we guess it, sir?

814
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:46,480
Give us a hint.
- Let's watch it then.

815
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:48,560
Your grandpa, that great man...

816
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:50,040
He said a few words.

817
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:51,920
Oh, okay.
- Pals, play it.

818
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:54,160
'Mr Dutt's daughter, Swapna...'

819
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:58,040
'Swapna had a small request for me.'

820
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,600
'She asked me to speak about Ram.'

821
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:05,360
'He is smart. He didn't score'

822
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:08,920
'good marks.
I wonder why.'

823
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,400
'I didn't know how to help him.'

824
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:15,200
'So, I met his class teacher once.'

825
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:20,920
'When I met her, I asked her
what the problem was.'

826
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:24,280
'Ram was scoring very low.'

827
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:26,520
'His efforts were not
reflecting in his marks.'

828
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:28,760
'I asked her what the issue was.'

829
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,040
'She explained it to me.'

830
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:35,320
'He would start writing
the answer'

831
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:37,400
'to any question very well
and in the middle'

832
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:41,200
'his attention would be diverted and
he would get the conclusion wrong.'

833
00:40:41,720 --> 00:40:43,680
'So, he never crossed'

834
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:46,360
'the limit of 50 marks.
Otherwise,'

835
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:50,400
'we would expect him
to score great marks.'

836
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:52,760
'But it never happened.'

837
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:55,920
'They called me to school
and asked about him.'

838
00:40:56,320 --> 00:41:00,040
'I asked them if he was
interested in some other activity'

839
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:04,240
'apart from the studies.
She had asked him about it.'

840
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:08,040
'When she asked him frankly'

841
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:09,720
'he wouldn't tell her.'

842
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:14,040
'At night, he was dancing
to a song in his room.'

843
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:18,000
'When I looked into his room
upon hearing the sound,'

844
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,240
'I was astonished.'

845
00:41:20,720 --> 00:41:25,120
'Looking at him, I understood
that he was interested'

846
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:29,560
'in art. He would like
to be in the film industry.'

847
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:34,840
'As he was interested in dancing,
we sent him to learn the same.'

848
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:39,760
'When he was 16 years old,'

849
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,600
'he started getting movie offers.'

850
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:45,200
'They met me with
movie proposals for him.'

851
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:48,400
'It was a good subject.
The movie was 'Devdasu'.'

852
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,800
'I was told the story.'

853
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:56,840
'As everything was fine, we agreed.'

854
00:41:57,040 --> 00:41:59,480
'After that, he was very happy'

855
00:41:59,960 --> 00:42:02,120
'and the movie was a great hit.'

856
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:08,840
Looking at this, I can say
that you were born to be a star.

857
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:13,040
Since your childhood...
You were born a star.

858
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:14,680
It wasn't you.

859
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:21,560
I still remember this.
- Ram Star.

860
00:42:21,720 --> 00:42:23,560
Okay.
- My mother was very keen.

861
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:25,920
Because I was very
attentive in class

862
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,440
and sometimes, the top student...

863
00:42:28,720 --> 00:42:31,640
The teachers would get confused
seeing me in class

864
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:33,760
and ask me to make
the top student study.

865
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:35,000
The class would stare at me.

866
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:37,160
One day, she told me
that I had to do well in exams.

867
00:42:37,240 --> 00:42:39,720
She asked me why I scored low
as I was very smart.

868
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:41,560
She knew the answers I knew.

869
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:44,320
Then the answer sheets came.
Upon looking at it...

870
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:46,440
I didn't answer a lot of things.

871
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:49,680
She asked me why I didn't answer
them when I knew them.

872
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:51,160
I had a dance class.

873
00:42:51,240 --> 00:42:53,400
So, I left thinking those
answers were enough.

874
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:56,120
She hit me because I did that.

875
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:01,960
For me, it was always like...
My dance class was more important.

876
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:03,520
This was more important to me.

877
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:05,400
So, once I remember,
they sat me down

878
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:07,600
and told me I needed to get a degree
in some studies.

879
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:09,280
I needed something
to fall back upon.

880
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:12,040
I remember saying this.
I was eight or nine years old.

881
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:13,640
If I...

882
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:17,000
'If I want to become a lawyer
and it doesn't work out,'

883
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:19,120
'will you ask me to study
to be a doctor?' I said

884
00:43:19,240 --> 00:43:22,520
that back then.
I don't endorse this.

885
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:24,440
But back then, that was my mindset.

886
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:27,000
If I wanted to be an actor,
I would prepare for that.

887
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:30,080
The concept of something
to fall back upon didn't strike me.

888
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:33,000
If I wanted to be a lawyer
and it was not feasible,

889
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,200
could I study to be a doctor?

890
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:38,040
So, for me, it was more of a waste
of time. Something I needed...

891
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:39,400
If I wanted to be an actor,

892
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:41,200
I needed to go to my dance class,
horse riding class...

893
00:43:41,240 --> 00:43:44,160
My concept was that and it was very
difficult for my family to accept.

894
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:47,440
But without my family's support.
I don't think I would have...

895
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:54,200
You were quite clear about it.

896
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:57,320
See, there is no this or that.
- Yeah, there is only this.

897
00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:00,600
Only one. One arrow,
one aim and one target.

898
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:03,200
Yeah.
- One Ram. The arrow named Ram.

899
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:10,440
You look like a chocolate boy,
but you work smartly.

900
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:13,880
And you are quiet and smart.

901
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:19,840
In 'iSmart Shankar', I liked
the style of your pants. - Oh.

902
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:32,480
Whose idea was it?

903
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:35,240
Actually, I was in Spain.

904
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:37,680
While speaking to Mr Puri,
I was sitting in a cafe.

905
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:39,800
I saw a guy walking around.
- Oh.

906
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:42,640
I clicked his picture
and sent it to Mr Puri.

907
00:44:42,720 --> 00:44:45,440
We were thinking about two
brains and all... So, I was like...

908
00:44:45,720 --> 00:44:47,640
This guy's image was perfect
for one aspect.

909
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:49,920
He looked crazy. So, I...

910
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:58,240
Puri is a...
He is a very convenient director.

911
00:44:58,320 --> 00:44:59,360
Yeah...
- Yeah.

912
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:01,720
If asked, he will change the scene.
- Yeah.

913
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:04,160
He won't think about it.
If it's good, that's it.

914
00:45:04,240 --> 00:45:07,040
He cares about the actor's comfort
more than the movie.

915
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:08,560
Yes.
- I never get nervous with him.

916
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:10,600
One of the most
comfortable directors.

917
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:12,720
And he is a great human being.
I connect with him at a human level.

918
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:14,880
Yeah, at a human level. Right.
- Yeah.

919
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:20,680
I heard you were quite involved
in the story of 'iSmart Shankar'.

920
00:45:20,720 --> 00:45:21,840
You troubled them.

921
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:24,880
More than the story,
it was more of...

922
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:27,000
I did a movie called,
'Hello Guru Prema Kosame'.

923
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:29,200
If you observe it,
everyone in the Telugu industry

924
00:45:29,240 --> 00:45:31,040
was doing soft roles
and good guy roles.

925
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:32,800
Everyone was playing the good guy.

926
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:35,480
So, after a point, as an audience,
I was frustrated.

927
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:36,760
I wanted to do something wild.

928
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:38,720
I still remember it.
I went to him.

929
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:40,720
It didn't work out for many movies.

930
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:43,160
I called him and told him
to write something wild for me.

931
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:46,040
Why shouldn't a villain
have a story?

932
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:47,560
If the hero is on
the screen, it's okay.

933
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:49,120
But the people fear the villain.

934
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:51,560
The character should be entertaining
enough that the villain

935
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:53,280
should terrify the audience.

936
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:55,480
We just kept talking randomly.

937
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:57,720
He said something. I said something.
That's how 'iSmart Shankar' came.

938
00:45:57,840 --> 00:45:58,840
There is nothing else.

939
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:04,920
Before we wrap up, Ram,

940
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:08,320
you told me the storyline
of 'Andhra King Taluka'.

941
00:46:08,720 --> 00:46:09,720
It's good.
- Sir.

942
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:12,760
I think the audience
will connect to it well.

943
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:14,520
And that is what we want.
- Yeah. Yeah.

944
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:16,600
The movie represents them.
- Yeah.

945
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:17,880
Beautiful.
- Thanks.

946
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:20,680
Connecting to the movie,

947
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:24,440
we already have a great
fan amidst us.

948
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:26,960
Shall we call her to the stage?
- Sir, please.

949
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:29,400
Durga, please come to the stage.

950
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:49,800
I like him a lot.
No matter how I am

951
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:52,320
or the trouble I am facing,
I see him and forget everything.

952
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:54,160
He is a part of my life.

953
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:57,120
My husband supports me. I told him
I would get your name tattooed.

954
00:46:57,200 --> 00:46:58,440
He told me it was my decision.

955
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:02,040
But my first love is Ram.
Then, it's my husband.

956
00:47:05,240 --> 00:47:08,520
My entire family loves him.
I have his huge portrait framed.

957
00:47:08,720 --> 00:47:10,720
I will get it for him
during the next photoshoot.

958
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:12,200
If you sign it...
- Definitely.

959
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:13,680
My life will be complete.
I love you, sir.

960
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:15,040
I love you so much.
- Thank you.

961
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:22,800
So, this was an example.
- Sir.

962
00:47:23,720 --> 00:47:28,080
Just... Ram, your way
of addressing someone is great.

963
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:29,760
The way you call people.

964
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:36,160
If you once... I mean,
give me different modulations.

965
00:47:36,240 --> 00:47:37,720
If you want to call someone,
what sound

966
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:39,680
do you make?
- It's one thing, sir. They know it.

967
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:41,360
Why did you create it?

968
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:42,800
It was out of necessity.

969
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,160
While shooting,
there are so many people. So...

970
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:47,040
I don't like yelling their names.

971
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:49,120
I have this small whistle
so that nobody else

972
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:51,480
will be disturbed
and only my people will know.

973
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:53,480
Whistle on camera once.

974
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:00,600
It looks like a kiss.
- No. Not at all.

975
00:48:05,240 --> 00:48:08,200
Why don't you move your hand
and whistle again?

976
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:17,600
The women in the audience
are elated.

977
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:19,800
Okay, let's end it here.

978
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:23,640
Rapid Fire Round,
brought to you by 'Jar App'.

979
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:25,560
On the 'Jar App', you can save

980
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:27,920
24-carat gold starting
from 100 rupees.

981
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:31,560
In the same way, you can withdraw
the money when you want.

982
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:34,240
Use the 'Jar App'
and increase your savings.

983
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:37,520
Let's start our Rapid Fire Round,
sponsored by 'Jar App'.

984
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:40,760
In this round, I will ask you
five questions, back to back.

985
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:43,400
You have to give us the honest
and best answers.

986
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:46,160
So, for every correct answer,

987
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:48,440
you will win 5,000 Jar Gold Points.

988
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:50,600
It means, for 5 answers,

989
00:48:50,720 --> 00:48:52,640
you can win 25,000 Jar Gold Points.

990
00:48:52,720 --> 00:48:54,600
If you skip one answer,

991
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:57,680
you will lose 5,000 Jar Gold Points.

992
00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:01,200
The 'Jar App' will donate these
25,000 Jar Gold Points to charity.

993
00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:04,320
So, let's start the Rapid Fire!

994
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:06,000
I am terrible at it.
Just a heads up.

995
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:07,480
I am terrible at asking.

996
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:08,720
That's different.
- Okay.

997
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:13,560
Which scenes do you shoot
in multiple takes?

998
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:15,360
Action scenes or romantic scenes?

999
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:16,720
Romantic scenes.

1000
00:49:23,720 --> 00:49:25,240
Action scenes, mostly.
- Action.

1001
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:27,680
He doesn't need it for romance.
He does it in a single take.

1002
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:34,160
There are lots of moving parts.

1003
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:35,920
So, I need...
- Okay. Okay, next.

1004
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:39,440
What is the craziest proposal
you have received from a fan?

1005
00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:42,040
I keep getting their proposals, sir.
- There are many.

1006
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:47,680
Tell us about a girl's proposal.

1007
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:49,360
Even though, they don't speak,

1008
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:51,520
the way they look at me
is the biggest compliment.

1009
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:53,960
You are working
in 'Andhra King Taluka' for them.

1010
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:03,120
What is your nickname
in your close friends' circle?

1011
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:05,000
They call me Ram. Yeah.
- Is it Ram?

1012
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:07,480
What is your full name?
- Pothineni Sitaram Chowdary.

1013
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:10,240
Oh, okay. Who was your
childhood favourite hero?

1014
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:11,760
It was very movie-specific.

1015
00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:14,000
As I was raised in Chennai,

1016
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:15,360
Rajinikanth.
- Me too.

1017
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:21,960
You have to answer this quickly.

1018
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:24,520
Which movie was
different during narration,

1019
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:26,760
but changed after shooting?
- Oh, there are many, sir.

1020
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:32,560
One example.
- 'Ongole Gittha' is an example.

1021
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:33,640
'Ongole Gittha'.
- Yeah.

1022
00:50:33,720 --> 00:50:36,800
Okay. What is more important?
A hit or self-satisfaction?

1023
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:38,800
I think if I am satisfied
with my work,

1024
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:40,800
the movie will be a hit.
That will satisfy me.

1025
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:43,120
Tell me the name of one such movie.
- There are a lot, sir.

1026
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:45,800
'Kandireega' would be one.
'Ready' would be one.

1027
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:47,800
'iSmart Shankar' would be one.
- Okay.

1028
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:49,680
Tell us a dialogue
from 'iSmart Shankar'.

1029
00:50:49,720 --> 00:50:51,520
'Hit the bottle
and keep your worries aside.'

1030
00:50:57,240 --> 00:50:58,520
He said it so simply.

1031
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:04,520
Let's begin
the 'Country Delight' presents

1032
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:07,280
High Five with Zee5,
real answers only.

1033
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:12,280
How do you incorporate a healthy
diet in your routine?

1034
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:14,000
I try to eat healthy.

1035
00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:16,080
Mostly, if you observe my movies,

1036
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:19,480
it's always been about putting on
and losing weight for my characters.

1037
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:21,640
Due to these challenges,
I need to be more careful.

1038
00:51:21,720 --> 00:51:24,040
I need to figure out what works
for my body and what does not.

1039
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:25,680
Your body is different.
My body is different.

1040
00:51:25,720 --> 00:51:27,120
Everyone's body is different.

1041
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:30,200
Who is your 3 a.m. industry friend?
- I sleep at that time, sir.

1042
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:32,560
I will sever my friendship
with the one who calls me.

1043
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:38,000
I will say, 'Go to sleep.
Let's talk in the morning.'

1044
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:42,280
Are you happy having
a lot of female fans?

1045
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:43,520
Is it a pressure or a pleasure?

1046
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:45,560
To make them fall for me...

1047
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:48,560
I think it's a great achievement.

1048
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:57,280
In the movies
you have done until now,

1049
00:51:57,400 --> 00:52:00,840
which movie backfired
despite the trust you had in it?

1050
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:02,880
'Jagadam' and 'Endukante Premanta'.

1051
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:04,560
Both of them
were good movies.

1052
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:06,240
But we don't know why
they didn't work at that time.

1053
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:08,280
Something that we believed in,
but it didn't work.

1054
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:10,200
If you have to be in
a multi-star movie,

1055
00:52:10,240 --> 00:52:11,800
who will you choose from Tollywood?

1056
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:14,720
It depends on the script. Last time,
I acted with Mr Venkatesh.

1057
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:16,120
Yes.
- Whoa!

1058
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:22,320
Something you can't resist.

1059
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:24,480
Sweet curd or buttermilk?

1060
00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:26,440
Buttermilk.
- Buttermilk, okay.

1061
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:32,600
Ram has a great female following.

1062
00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:35,680
To maintain that following,

1063
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:37,040
what is your style secret?

1064
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:39,280
Shall we go to 'Oaksmith
Style Studio' and find out?

1065
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:41,240
Sure.
- Let's go there.

1066
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:50,440
For a movie,
have you ever sacrificed

1067
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:53,160
your personal style completely?
If yes, which one?

1068
00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:55,640
My personal style reflects
in every movie.

1069
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:58,400
I make sure my personal style
reflects in my character somehow.

1070
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:00,240
You have never sacrificed it.
- No.

1071
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:05,320
From your movies, which style
was your personal favourite and why?

1072
00:53:05,720 --> 00:53:08,640
I think, I enjoyed 'iSmart Shankar'.
He is a very different dancer.

1073
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:13,280
We can't do that in reality.

1074
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:15,840
But his clothing is weird and fun.

1075
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:17,640
So, I enjoyed wearing that.

1076
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:20,400
Which heroine
do you find the most stylish?

1077
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:22,120
Most stylish?

1078
00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:24,840
Probably, Sam.
- Wow, Sam is getting lots of marks.

1079
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:28,400
Among the present heroes,

1080
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:30,040
which hero do you think

1081
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:32,560
is a competition to you
in terms of style?

1082
00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:35,000
Style? I don't think
I am stylish, but...

1083
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:37,040
They are all pretty good.

1084
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:39,120
I don't look at it that way.
I have no idea.

1085
00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:41,480
But I think, all the guys
right now are...

1086
00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:43,560
In the Telugu industry,
styling has evolved a lot

1087
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:45,120
in the last four to five years.
- Yes.

1088
00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:46,560
And that reflects in many of them.

1089
00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:49,400
Will you take up the role
of a stylish villain?

1090
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:51,680
A stylish villain? Irrespective
of the size of the movie,

1091
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:53,120
if it is interesting, definitely.

1092
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:54,240
I will call you first.

1093
00:53:57,520 --> 00:53:58,960
All the best to you.
- Thank you.

1094
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:00,800
May the universe bless you.
- Thank you so much.

1095
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:02,640
Thank you very much. Come.
- Thank you, sir.

1096
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:12,560
From 'Vijay JB
Infra Private Limited',

1097
00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:13,920
a powerful idol of Lord Hanuman.

1098
00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:25,320
Ram, you look quite dashing today.
- Sir.

1099
00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:29,560
To elevate your style,
from our fashion partner,

1100
00:54:29,720 --> 00:54:30,840
'The Arvind Store',

1101
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:32,640
a special hamper.
- Thank you. Thank you.

1102
00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:39,560
'Jar App' savings tip of the day.
Do you know

1103
00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:44,240
in 2025, the gold prices have
already increased by 60 per cent?

1104
00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:46,920
It means on the 1st of January,

1105
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:49,000
if you had invested
100 rupees on gold,

1106
00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:51,160
it would have become 160 rupees.

1107
00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:54,040
So, during this festival season,

1108
00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:57,000
turn savings into a part
of your celebrations.

1109
00:54:57,080 --> 00:54:59,800
Even if it is a small amount,
start saving.

1110
00:55:01,720 --> 00:55:03,840
Before we go to the memory wall,

1111
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:05,360
let's check out the all-new

1112
00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:07,880

1113
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:10,320
featuring, the 10 feet
designer laminates.

1114
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:12,800
These bold designs are crafted
to catch the eye

1115
00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:16,080
and to make you look up.
Let's have the video, please.

1116
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:29,120
This is a moment
worth looking up to

1117
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:32,320
just like the Grande Collection
by 'Merino Laminates'.

1118
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:42,400
This is a moment
worth looking up to

1119
00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:45,600
just like the Grande Collection
by 'Merino Laminates'.

1120
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:48,280
'I loved your ragging.
- Don't call it ragging, sir.'

1121
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:53,040
'So, you played around like this.'

1122
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:55,320
'Later, Anupama...'
