Everyone has one friend who supports us throughout our lives.
You are going to witness a similar personality today.
Let us welcome Akkineni Nagarjuna.
Wow!
We will talk about the truth.
But let us do it casually.
We will watch an AV first. - Okay.
What do you see?
That's you.
Thank you. I had no idea about this.
What? - I didn't know I was born in St Isabel Hospital.
How did you find this? - From your childhood memories.
Shall we go to Chennai? - Let's go.
I noticed a few of your mannerisms.
Go on. - First one.
You stand like this.
This is how you stand when you are irritated.
That's a hint for us that you are irritated.
Second is something no one else does.
You have to keep your hand rested on something.
Where would I rest it?
Over here.
I saw this in your childhood photos. Who does that?
I don't remember.
You saw your own baby picture.
Yeah. - Your dad is the great ANR.
How do you feel knowing you are the son of ANR?
I am glad. I am lucky. I am blessed.
My father, ANR, is a complete man.
He achieved great things. Yet he lived a simple life.
Yes. - Even when he was at home
the way he deals and interacts with everyone...
I have seen many people.
They are great people who made it big in life.
But they never lived the way they wanted.
They never lived according to their terms.
My father knew his morals and principles and he lived by them.
I believe he is a true king.
You don't like to dance.
You had to learn dance to become a commercial hero. - Yes, I did.
You learnt the skill. Our show is about victories.
That's what it is about. Now let's talk about 'Shiva'.
Everyone knows about 'Shiva'.
Raju narrated the story and I loved it.
He narrated the story when I was working on 'Geetanjali.'
I was glad I found another director.
A director that I liked. We began our shoot.
It became history.
I believe I got two more hits which are memorable.
As 'Shiva' was a super hit, I struggled a lot after that.
Six of my films after Shiva were a flop.
'Nirnayam' was considered average among those.
I worked with Priyadarshini in 'Nirnayam'.
I completely opened up for that movie.
One of favourite films where I have completely opened up is
'Hello Brothers' with EVV Satyanarayana.
I played a double role for the first time.
This is the film where I allowed myself to open up.
'Hello Brother'
'Annamayya' found me.
God must have sent that movie my way.
I believe that.
I still wonder how I was chosen for the movie by Raghavendra Rao.
I still can't believe it.
It took me to a whole other level.
'Annamayya'
Dad watched all of my movies. All the hits and all the flops.
He said, 'You did well. I saw your movie. It was nice.'
He always complimented my work.
When 'Annamayya' was released
he came to me and held my hands.
It meant the world to me.
It happened for the first time.
He just looked at me and did that.
There's another big incident.
After the premiere, my mom came to me and hugged me.
She cried for five minutes straight.
She was thoroughly moved by the movie.
The climax of the movie
moved everyone who watched the movie.
The movie is an experience for everyone who watches it.
'ANR lives on'
'Manam' is very special for us.
It brought our family together.
My dad had an intuition that it was going to be his last film.
He knew he had cancer. We knew it would be his last film.
I never had any pressure in my life.
I was blessed with beautiful parents and a beautiful family.
The only pressure I ever felt to an extent of losing sleep at night
and made me worry was this film.
My dad...
He told me he wouldn't tolerate anyone else dubbing for him.
He wanted to dub it himself.
He was bedridden. He was in a critical state.
He completed his dubbing for the film from his bed.
He wanted his voice for his character.
We showed him the whole movie.
He liked the movie.
One morning, out of nowhere
exactly 15 days before he passed away.
22nd and 23rd have many coincidences.
I thought my dad wrote his own horoscope.
'Son.'
'I am so happy to see you.'
'You are close to making your 100th film.'
'Your journey is filled with your dedication.'
'You value the principles of the Akkineni family.'
'You make our Annapurna Studios proud.'
'I will never get tired of praising you for your hard work.'
'I am proud of you.'
Wow!
That was great! - Thank you!
Thank you. I don't know who made that. - Awesome job, guys.
Wow! - Fantastic. Fantastic.
Hello? Hello? - Sir. Sir. Sir.
What's the delay?
I got habituated of entering at the sound of 'Action'.
Oh, is that it?
Come back. Come back. Come back.
Sreeleela, you are as beautiful as the moon.
You hit a blockbuster with your first film and became a star.
You are great. - I am struggling to keep up, sir.
Do you remember the incident with you and Mrs Ramya Krishna?
I have to know what you were talking about, sir.
Known demons are better than the
little demons of this age and time.
Wait a minute. Somebody is trying to say something.
Madam, you are in the frame. Please.
Did you wish to become an actress? Is that why you made her an actress?
My mom likes you very much. - What?
My mom...
Why are you feeling shy?
I have been your biggest fan long before she started her career.
Why? Is it because my wife sold me for 10 million?
No, I wish I were the one she sold you to.
Okay, I will move to the next set.
Are you asking me to leave? - No, sir.
I think I should leave.
Mrs Swarna Latha. - Yes, sir.
I will show you a photo. I want you to speak about it.
When I watched this photo, I decided that
if I had a daughter, I would teach her how to dance.
Who is that boy? I think I have seen him somewhere.
That's Taarak.
After I worked on my first Telugu film
I made a few right decisions. I made a few wrong decisions, too.
Even when I made a mistake, I wasn't cast out.
They supported me the most. I experienced that.
Whatever work I get
I want to give it my 100%.
My purpose was to entertain everyone with my films.
You are absolutely right.
What if two heroes asked for your shoot dates at the same time?
Whom will you choose? Ram Charan or Junior NTR?
I will work both shifts, sir.
What do you like to be called? Dr Sreeleela or Actor Sreeleela.
'Dactor' Sreeleela.
There is something that no one knows about you.
A version that you hid from everyone. Let's see what that is.
Oh God!
Sir. Sir. Please. Please.
'My name is Shravika.'
'Sreeleela is my mom. I love you, mom.'
This is a lovely family.
I thought you raised an actor and a doctor.
But you raised an amazing human being.
You gifted the universe with a golden girl.
Thank you very much.
A guest full of glory. Natural Star Nani.
Nani. - Sir.
Do you remember the first time we met?
I will do the questioning. You have to answer me.
That's how it works. - Oh, okay.
You are a star because of your mom's upbringing.
Your passion has only supported that motive.
Anyone would be Nani if you listen to your mom.
Whom were you more attached to? Mom or dad? - Mom.
If you listen to your mom, you can be Jagapathi Babu.
Okay. Were you a good student?
I was always the last in academics among my family.
I was used as an example of what might happen if we don't study.
Tell me about you.
I was demoted twice.
I attended a one-hour class in three years of my college.
I am a better student than you.
Do you remember any of your school teachers?
Two teachers didn't beat me, and they are my favourites.
Oh my God!
How are you, madam?
It is so good to see you.
Oh my!
What a surprise!
You are very handsome. - Thank you. Thank you.
He was notorious. But he was also quiet.
Can I say something? - Yes.
He used to sleep in class.
His friends reminded him when his number was up for roll call.
How are you bringing them in? Where did you find him?
I called him to tell us about your crushes.
He won't have anything to say.
We were laid back in college. - Why don't you tell him?
Go ahead. Who is it?
Hey. Hey. Hey.
You don't need them after this.
You will need me after the show. - Look at him, sir.
Tell them the truth.
About a few crushes. - He doesn't want me to say.
He is threatening me.
He has always been a dream boy. - What about his dream girl?
There was a dream girl, too.
Girls. - Girls.
Woah!
Pramod, I have a personal question.
How many women did Nani say 'I love you' to?
I said that to one girl. And I married her later in life.
And you never said 'I love you' to anyone else?
Now I have to be brave.
When you became a hero
was there a hero when your family owned you?
My mom and dad stopped attended weddings at one point.
I know how important it is for them to attend.
If there is a wedding, they need everyone there.
That's quite important for him.
They wanted to attend every event.
But they were worried everyone might ask about me.
Ever since that day
whoever invites my mom and dad to their weddings or events
when they visit our home
they don't just invite them.
They especially asked me to be there. It makes them happy.
They don't have to say anything. I can see that they are proud.
They are happy. They saw that particular phase.
They are now experiencing an opposite moment.
They are quite satisfied and happy.
Their hearts are full. Time has changed.
My mom and dad struggled in the past.
Now they are content with how things turned out to be.
His name is Ram Pandu.
Call him.
When are you going to make a film for the audience?
I always made a film I would want to watch.
I never worried about the audience.
If I spend ten minutes with you, I am afraid I might turn into you.
That's your power.
Let's introduce someone else.
Let's welcome the number one director of Hindi cinema.
Sandeep Reddy Vanga.
Why didn't you introduce me like that?
Do you think Sandeep is a great director and I am not?
I am an alcoholic. I drink Vodka.
Sandeep never said anything like that.
Sir, that's whisky. - Whatever.
The effect of cinema. - Which cinema is it?
The heroes of his movies are alcoholics.
Oh, is it? Okay.
How did your friendship with each other evolve?
We are close. First of all
I don't think either me nor Sandeep has friends.
We don't have enough time to love ourselves.
What about the girlfriend? That's quite important.
Things happen when we are young, sir.
You can start, sir.
He will do it when it's his turn. - He didn't ask me.
I know about him.
Every co-educational school has a story like this, sir.
Is that mandatory?
Didn't you have any stories? - I am a quiet lover.
From a distance, on a wide shot.
I zoom in on my mind.
Silence is most dangerous.
We are about to surprise our guest.
We have a special AV planned. - '40 years.'
'It has been more than 40 years since we last talked.'
'We have known each other for one year, for a few years.'
'We have only spent a few hours together.'
'But you still have an impact on me.'
'You love watching movies.'
'Indian Cinema will be known as before Ramu and after Ramu.'
'You can create such a history.'
'I don't see any difference between
'the childhood Ramu and the adult Ramu.'
'You haven't changed, Ramu.'
To hell with your research. - That's what I am talking about.
A devil and an animal are smiling at each other.
This is too adorable.
Who is she?
I have loved a woman in the past. Now I love all the women.
Oh God! Oh God!
So...
Tell us, sir. There was a lot of pain in her voice.
Sorry.
Yes, I was very close to her.
I can't say much. - She mentioned a few hours.
Sir, the flow of her dialogue was...
Why are you stuck to that?
I want this to continue. - Look at Sandeep.
Come on. Come on. Let him ask.
Sandeep might not have been loved by someone to this extent.
There is no curiosity at all.
Ask him more.
But the way she sounded... The dialogue at a depth.
Yeah. - There is a lot of longing in the voice.
He is directing me.
What? That's true.
Can I ask him a follow-up question? - Go ahead.
Sandeep, when you watched 'Gayam'
did you watch it for Urmila or Jagapathi?
I watched it for you, sir.
That's good. Super.
Why would you make such films
if there is no such fantasy in your life?
What are you talking about? - Look at 'Arjun Reddy'.
There was a scene with ice cubes.
Yeah. - Look at 'Animal'.
He walks around naked. - Right.
There has to be a hidden fantasy. You look calm on the outside.
You look like a saint in your attire.
If I can't own my fantasies,
I bring it out in one way or another.
I don't know, sir.
I might have been thinking about it subconsciously.
He is a mix of Ranbir Kapoor and Arjun Reddy.
Sir, I wonder how things would have been if I were your classmate.
One of us should have been born as a girl.
Mr Raja Mouli. Sandeep Vanga.
Whom do you like the most? - Sandeep.
Sandeep, if you were a hero, which character would you pick?
Arjun Reddy or Animal? - Arjun Reddy.
What would you gift RGV?
We can't gift him anything, sir. - Nothing.
If you work hard on something, he would ask you why you did it.
I want to ask the rapid round for Sandeep.
Okay, sure. Great.
Who is better? You or Raja Mouli?
Obviously, Raja Mouli. - Do I look like a fool?
No, sir.
Did you ever regret getting married?
No, sir. I never felt that way.
So you are a loyal husband.
You get one question for rapid fire?
The most beautiful and charming Meena.
Ever since you were born, you were drowning in movies.
Actually, studios have been my playground.
I was born in Chennai. But I was raised in the studios.
There are so many pictures on the wall.
There is one exclusive picture among them.
Somebody in a cop costume.
I can't spot it. - On the top.
Soundarya. - Soundarya.
Yes. - She is your friend, right?
Yes.
She is an amazing girl.
She is wonderful inside and out.
The news we received was...
I was invited to the same campaign.
It was a huge shock.
I don't know. I don't want to talk about that.
There is beauty to this.
Your hearts are so pure. She entered the industry after you.
Both of you were competitors. - Yes.
But you have no hard feelings. You are good friends.
You proved that. - Yes.
That's a beautiful characterisation.
She is a graceful woman.
Her words would entice everyone. Do you know who she is?
Yes. - Simran!
There are two of you. What would happen to me?
There is no way. Both of you are here.
I will take this off.
That's enough.
I feel better now.
I am also feeling hot. - Wow!
We have been friends for all these years.
I never saw him like this. - How do you mean?
This way...
I am feeling breathless. Would you just move?
Move over there.
Oh my God!
Meena is an old friend.
Sim and I have recently met. We became good friends.
Right? - Yes. - We are family.
Don't ruin this. You are up to something.
I was just looking at you.
Oh my God!
Jaggi, let's have a song for you.
What? - Yes!
Yes, one song for you.
Music please.
There are three of you.
Tell me about your crush.
Crush. - Yes.
What does that mean? - Meena, come on.
Mr JB. - Oh no!
Don't do that.
- You are blushing.
Why would I blush?
We became best friends in a short span.
We will remain great friends.
Can I get a friendly hug from you?
Yes, of course.
Hi!
You have been acting since you were a child.
You met many actresses.
Now you are working with
new age heroines.
Do you have a crush on anyone?
It could be in the past or now. - I get it.
I won't mention the recent names even if I have a crush, sir.
So you have a crush. - How could I not, sir?
There has to be. - Yes.
Everyone opens up
about things in your show.
I have seen a few episodes. I am prepared.
Take off your shirt.
What, sir? - Take off your shirt.
We will get into that zone after the second break.
I am afraid that Mr Jaggu might feel bad
if I mention the name of any heroine, so I am not saying.
There were a few then and even now, right? - Yes.
I can confirm that. - Yes.
Did any hero who are close to you give you suggestions?
How should you behave? Or how to learn?
How to act? Something like that.
Mr Chiranjeevi spoke to me.
There is one thing that strongly settled in my mind
about what Mr Chiranjeevi told.
When I told 'I am going to be an actor again',
he didn't say anything like super or very good in a welcoming manner.
What new project are you going to work on?
Mr Rama Rao has done mythological films.
Mr Chiranjeevi has done
commercial, mass, action movies. Like that,
what do you want to do?
He asked me 'How are you special?'
I couldn't find the answer that day. I kept thinking since that day.
I thought a lot about it.
As he asked 'How are you special?',
I fixed myself to do only special films, sir.
While I was doing movies in that genre,
after seeing a glimpse of my movie, Mirai,
Mr Chiranjeevi said,
'How come you are doing all new types of movies?'
'How do you choose them?'
Oh, sir! You are the one who suggested me. You have forgotten.
I learned everything I needed
to be a hero as a child. Horse riding, Kuchupudi, skating,
western dances, swimming, etc. I learnt everything.
I learnt everything and told uncle. He said, 'All these are not needed.'
'You must understand the story.' Uncle understood that.
You are not a nepo kid.
But yes, there is a rumour that
you are a nepo kid. How is that?
What are the rumours, sir?
That you are the foster son of Mr Dutt.
When I was a child, Mr Dutt
definitely encouraged me a lot, sir.
I did five Vyjayanthi movies in my childhood.
And I earned a good name for all of them.
But I also have an answer that counters this.
Then Mr Dutt should have done a film with me as the hero, right?
He didn't do it. He should at least give me a chance. He didn't.
He hasn't even given me a chance to play a character
until now. That didn't happen.
By the way, Mr Dutt is not around here, right?
Note this point, everybody. - So...
How is that possible? Now, Mr Dutt and I...
But still, no matter what,
he owes you Rs. 60,000,000.
Is it 6 or 8? I didn't understand, sir. I don't know about that.
Maybe the interest got added up. - Yes.
How shall I... - Tell the audience about the matter.
During my childhood,
after the completion of 'Choodalani Vundi',
I immediately acted in 'Raja Kumarudu', Mr Mahesh Babu's movie.
That was also Mr Dutt's production.
Later, I acted in Indra.
Sometime in between this gap, Mr Dutt
casually said, not casually, he said it seriously.
'I am doing multiple films and casting Teja in them.'
'These films are very big and working out in a great way.'
'I am investing a mutual fund of Rs 500,000 in Teja's name.'
'Give it to him on his 25th birthday and
tell him Mr Dutt uncle gave it to you.'
I reached 25 years three to four years ago.
I am waiting
for when to break that mutual fund.
Ms Swapna should see this at least on this stage
and tell me about that mutual fund, I will...
No. Call Ms Swapna Dutt. - Okay, sir.
Call her now and ask her. She is right here..
She is somewhere around here.
If you can identify, we will call her.
No. She is not here.
It's okay. You saved me.
She got saved.
But sir, now there is no need for her to break that mutual fund
and give anything to me.
I would like to tell her something.
Please bring me a blockbuster story.
Ms Swapna's judgement about stories
and the kind of films that Vyjayanthi Movies does
is extraordinary. If I too become a part of such grand
crazy movies, I will be more than happy.
So, I don't want the mutual fund. But,
give me an awesome story, ma'am.
You might be wondering why I am suddenly having a stick in my hand.
I understood, sir. I understood your intention.
Have you brought it as a duplicate
of the stick used in my movie Mirai?
Yes. This is not like showing your skill in cinema.
Many people... As CG is increasing nowadays,
they might consider it as CG.
You must prove it once in front of everyone.
And I will give you a gift hamper if you do it.
Super! I really liked this.
The last matter is good.
But I must say one thing.
Everyone in the industry talks about Mr Jaggu regularly.
I have been hearing about him since my childhood.
A royal person. He will just give away anything.
Since my childhood... It's okay, sir.
I have heard such things.
If Mr Jaggu is giving a gift hamper,
then I am ready to do it. Give it to me, sir.
I am ready.
I did it myself, sir.
You proved that you did it yourself. - I did it myself.
"Face-off!
It's a face-off,
sweetheart."
It's normal to be shy when you are young, okay?
You have been feeling shy for so many years.
I don't know.
You are very shy. That's okay.
But you were not feeling shy in Goa.
Had you conducted this show in Goa, it would have been very good.
Everybody knows Prabhu Deva means dance and dance means Prabhu Deva.
Do you practice any dance form amongst so many dance forms?
Hip hop, break dance or jazz. I don't know all that.
I know my dance.
I don't know those things. I just do what I know.
Mr Sundaram, your great dad is also a great dance master.
He is an art by himself.
Is he also very strict? Did he ever beat you?
Let me not get into that...
I hear you.
He is a very angry man.
I am scared of my dad even now.
Even now! Wow!
Normally, you don't wear a blazer.
You wore it today. - I will tell you.
I saw two of your episodes.
The host is more stylish than the guest.
I went and purchased it myself for the sake of this show.
I felt this show was very classy.
You are dressing up fabulously.
So, I wanted to look good.
It looks like a Hollywood artist is interviewing the Indian actors.
It suits you well and we both match.
Whatever it is, I still like that Prabhu Deva only.
"Face-off! It's a face-off, sweetheart."
"Oh, Sweetheart."
"You mesmerised me."
You have a style and timing even while removing it.
We spoke about you.
We spoke about your dance.
Then we must see your dance also, right?
Okay, let's have a gang-leader dance.
"G-A-N-G! Gang!"
"Beat it! - Bang! Bang!"
"Gang Leader!"
Your love story. Where did you meet Ms Himani?
I actually met her in Bombay.
I had a pain here which needed physio.
You had a pain. - I had a pain.
She came to correct this.
Okay, physiotherapist - Yes, physiotherapy.
We got connected then.
But this pain hasn't gone away yet.
You have a daughter, right? - Yes, a daughter, Siya.
Actually, I was asked to name her with Si, Sa, Su, or...
Go. They said, 'Go is best, sir. Name her with Go.'
I immediately thought of naming her Golkonda.
According to me, I am 52 now.
I have a daughter at 50 years of age.
Of course, I do have three sons.
It's a miracle for me.
I feel like, 'Is this reality?'
I have a girl child, my daughter.
Whenever I see her, I feel I am seeing a miracle.
Whenever I see my daughter.
Tell us without thinking much.
Amongst the heroines, whom do you have a crush on?
On many of them, sir. - Many of them, is it?
I am also like the audience, sir.
I am also one of the audience.
The heir of Akkineni, Naga Chaitanya!
Now, on this stage, you are classy.
You are mass there.
Nothing like a mass, sir.
You would have been naughty and done something mischievous.
I regret it. I should have done something else
in school. Being such a good boy, I wasted so many years.
I do feel bad when I think about the past.
Did your dad spoil you?
Oh, no! It won't be good if I say so.
My dad did spoil me.
But I did learn a lot from my dad.
We know that.
5, 9, 12, 19 Numbers.
Do you remember anything?
5 is your roll number.
Okay. In my school, is it?
Yes, in school. - Oh!
I forget, sir. - You don't remember that...
I mean, in academics,
I am a little weak.
You are 5.
Oh! Are you asking that? - Yes.
Whose were 9, 12 and 19?
Guna, Krishna... - Krishna 12.
Krishna was another best friend. 19!
That is not your friend's number.
Was it a girl's number?
You guessed it so correctly. - I knew it.
I know who you are talking about. - Who is it? Tell us.
Name?
Krishna and Guna are my best friends.
They are my school friends and best friends even now.
We all became so close because of that person only.
Oh! Okay. - We three together...
We had a crush on her.
So cute! Okay.
All of us proposed her.
After one by one, we got rejected,
we consoled each other, saying, 'It's okay, dude.'
'Don't worry, bro.' We've built a good friendship since then, sir.
So, it's a very interesting story.
Most of them get separated because of a girl but you became close.
That's it. That is the beauty. - Yes.
Your grandfather was very straight
and open. - Yes.
Your dad is smooth. You are actually...
nothing. - Zero. Nothing at all.
As far as I know Chaitu...
Whatever I noticed, without you making any big attempt,
girls just fall in love with you.
What are you saying?
Somebody has given you the wrong information.
You are not doing anything. They are falling for you.
Just look at how many of them are whistling and clapping for you.
Thank you.
Just look at how many girls are there.
No way, sir. When Akhil, my dad,
and I, all three of us, go out together...
Even girls who are younger than me,
or anybody of my age,
first go and ask my dad for a photo.
They don't like us. They still say that his style is good.
Even if I go out with you, the same will happen to me. - Oh, my!
They all... I am not kidding.
They do that to show their respect for him.
If they come directly to you, I will feel bad, right?
So, they will first... - Is that so?
Come to me and then slowly settle there. - Okay.
Agree? - Okay.
Oh, my!
The last song is dedicated to you.
That's your dad's song. - But you are the real life...
Along with my dad, right?
Your dad is the first in everything.
I just imagine doing such things.
You played Mr Nageswara Rao's character in Mahanati. - Oh, yes!
Well, I am blessed and it's a way
to pay tribute to my grandfather.
I felt it was the right opportunity.
What was your experience when you did 'Venky Mama'?
All these moments are very special for me with my uncle, Venky.
The great actress!
We welcome you.
"The great actress."
Isn't my picture here?
Those fools wouldn't have put up your picture.
Oh, no!
I know you are a great actress on screen.
I am very naughty for you.
And... Oh, my!
I heard you are very curious, especially with gifts.
I heard you just open anybody's gift.
Why so? How can you open somebody else's gift?
That's just a gift, right?
Your dad is a producer, right? - Yes.
Would he give you pocket money or would you steal it from his pocket?
I know you are a thief. - Oh, my!
Looks like he has told you.
You are very mischievous.
No matter how much he gives me,
stealing from his pocket gave me a different
feeling, sir.
That happiness was a different one.
Even now, when I go to my house,
I do it. He doesn't know.
He will get to know now.
Oh, my! I said it unknowingly.
By the way, Kumbakarni... - Kumba...
I have given you a new name, Kumbakarni. - You know
everything about me, don't you? - I know very well.
In and out. A to Z everything.
You eat for six hours and sleep for 18 hours.
Now, if any director calls me and I say I have no dates,
then he will say,
'Mr JB told it in his show that you eat for six hours.'
Now, I want to ask you something.
What are you doing?
What am I doing?
I mean, how can you be so handsome? - Oh, my!
Oh, my God! - Tell us.
You are definitely doing something.
Such a great inspiration is in front of me.
You play cricket, you do swimming,
you play violin,
you do fashion designing,
you do mischievous things,
you beat up a rowdy, go to the police station,
and act like a great actress.
How did Antony fall in love with a girl who does so many things?
This is the correct timing.
Perfect timing.
When you met Antony,
you winked at him. Wink once now.
You took the first lead.
Oh, my! Yes. - What is the story?
You are feeling so shy. - I didn't get it at that time.
You are feeling shy after doing everything.
I will prepare the first crepe.
No matter how well I do it,
you just throw that. You prepare one later.
In Tollywood, to which hero would you give the gentleman tag?
Jagapathi Babu. - Oh!
Thank you. You are so sweet.
Would you play a negative role if you got a chance?
Definitely. - Oh my God!
You said it like a villain.
You said definitely in such a base voice.
For a negative role, I must speak like that.
The crepe is getting burnt.
RAM.
Romantic Andhra Gentleman.
Smart Shankar!
Remember that his family calls him wind.
I was thinking Ram Pothineni
is an arrogant person with an attitude. - Okay.
That was my genuine opinion. - Okay.
You tease the heroines in the interviews.
Only in the interviews, sir.
All that happened in the shooting was shown in the interview.
You did Devdas at 16 years. - I was about 15.
I met Mr Chowdary when I was 14.
Before that, Mr M. S. Rao met me.
He was strictly saying even if you want to come, I will refuse.
When I said I was 13, they said there was still time.
He said, 'He is only 14. Let him go. Many will come.'
He said 'It's okay even if you are 14. You have a moustache.'
Did your moustache come by then?
At 14, you were a kid.
Being a star, you are a common man.
No common man is common, but...
Along with them, you have another talent of writing songs.
Songs!
Very cute. I saw it last night. It is very good.
Lyrics... How did you get that kind of talent?
Only those who love will have that skill. How many did you love?
I am very glad.
How many do you love to write so many lyrics?
Moreover, you are feeling shy, hearing this.
No, sir. I felt shy when they shouted.
You felt shy as they shouted!
You have seen so much serious creativity in life.
How does romance fit in your life?
Romance is not fitting in.
Not fitting. - Not fitting.
That is why, I show it in the cinema.
Romance only in cinema. Nothing other than that? - No.
How about marriage?
Marriage is like a natural calamity.
It won't happen when we want it. It will just happen someday.
You mean you have planned it.
You mean to say you only stop with ragging. - Yes.
That too only till 6 o'clock. After 6, pack up.
Morning 6 o'clock, is it? - Evening.
This is a family show, right?
Family hero.
Well, of course, not everyone needs to know everything,
but you have kept your life in a box.
You live solo in an apartment. - Yes.
None of your affairs got revealed properly.
Small matters do get leaked out sometimes.
There is no guarantee that you don't have an affair
or you have one. I don't know.
Even if you have one and I get to know, I won't tell anyone.
That's a different matter.
Will you say something?
Do you have any affairs or not?
In my whole life, people only said Ram said so
and did so. They are rumours.
No one knows, except people who really know me.
Oh! - I like to keep my life private.
When it comes to relationships, I think it's...
We need to respect the other person. You can't just tell your story.
You have to respect the other person also.
They may be comfortable or maybe they are not. So,
I like to keep it private.
You never got caught.
Though you look like a chocolate boy, you seem to be very smart.
You are both quiet and smart.
Ram, there is one thing very good about you.
The way you call people.
Do that once. I mean, give me a different modulation.
What sounds you use to call whom?
Not many, sir. Just one. My people know it.
Just one sound. Only that person
will know that you are calling. - It was a necessity. That's it.
In the shooting spot, there will be many people around.
I don't like to shout out names.
I just use a small whistle.
So nobody else gets disturbed and only my people would know about it.
Can you please whistle once in front of our camera?
It sounds like a kiss. - No.
Let's welcome Ramya Krishna.
"You are the sparkling little flower."
"Come and fall in love with me."
"Listen to my wishes and desires."
"I want to lie on your chest."
"Come and hug me."
Mr Raghavendra Rao said something nice.
Newton said an apple falls down.
He found out where it has to fall.
It has to fall on a navel.
We found out on which navel it should fall.
It has to fall on Ramya Krishna's navel.
A watermelon has fallen on my navel.
So, an apple is a small fruit.
A watermelon also? - Yes, even a watermelon.
Tell me if I am talking a little too much.
Just say, 'Shut your mouth.'
You are the most gracious, most beautiful person who has always...
No. You are always kind to all the heroines.
Hey!
He is the best friend of all the heroines.
And the best friend a person can have.
Oh!
Not all heroines, ma'am.
That is something... - Let me tell you
that I am not comparing anybody in my place.
Nobody can take my place. - That's right.
Right. I know that. - See, there is a lot of difference.
Yes. I too know that.
If a girl like Ramya Krishna is standing,
waiting for a car, who won't give a lift?
Anybody will give a lift.
It doesn't matter if it was Ramya then or the Ramya now.
If a beautiful girl is there,
that's it. Then Ramya Krishna... - That is selfishness.
If a beautiful female, a hot female,
is standing there waiting for a car,
anybody will give a lift.
That was my selfishness. Okay?
With a few people,
the life journey is not about this life alone.
Some people, I think are related to you since the past life.
Exactly. - And such people
are very few in my life and you are one of them.
Yes. - Thank you, Ramya. Thank you very much.
That's the truth.
I had sent you a message once.
Ramya Krishna is my friend.
I am very proud to say that.
Thank you. Me too.
You and I have a common friend.
Let's talk about that person.
Bro! Show us our friend's video!
Chill.
As this is a moment we have to think...
I asked them to play it.
Soundarya has a beautiful heart,
just like her name.
Let's talk about some happy moments with her.
As a heroine, I did most combinations with Soundarya.
We did many movies, including 'Padayappa'.
A very innocent,
raw, beautiful child,
grew up and progressed in front of me.
How did she groom herself?
How did she not give up in that process?
Beautiful human being. A good friend.
She didn't lose herself anywhere. - But yes...
A film you want to redo with the same view.
'It would be good if I did this movie again.'
I want to do all the item numbers I did again.
Item numbers! - Yes.
From "Do you want small cheeks?"
"Do you want small cheeks?"
"My dear, do you want a dimple there?"
I don't think that is possible.
"I was surprised to see you on the road." All that. Everything.
Did many guys approach you since childhood?
Flirting, is it?
Flirting or falling in love.
Heartbreaks. - Yes.
Many guys since childhood. - Yes.
Is it? - Including you.
Is there any man who can
embarrass Ramya Krishna?
Is there anyone?
You can.
You can! - You can do it.
Can you embarrass everybody?
I don't embarrass.
Hey! Oh!
You dance, right?
Should I say that? - Should I do that?
Hey! What? You are seriously revealing things.
What are you doing?
"Oh my dear lovely girl."
What are you doing?
Get up! Get up!
"Why don't you embrace me in your arms?"
"I won't fall for your tricks."
This is what I was talking about. Madness.
He is the craziest friend I have ever had.
Would we say no to him?
Who is he?
You don't smoke. You don't drink.
You don't have a girlfriend.
We will get there.
We will see your reaction.
I asked that question for this reaction.
I know that you deliberately asked me that question.
There was an incident in Goa.
I was in the middle of a candle light dinner with a heroine.
You kept calling me repeatedly.
I did? - Yes, you.
Sir! - It was you.
They will believe you, sir.
It is 100% true.
Don't act like you don't remember.
I really don't remember, sir. We will discuss this backstage.
He must have had many love stories when he was young.
I will interview him someday.
The whole interview will be about his love stories.
It will have a background song.
"My heart skips a beat..."
I will record that song in a female version.
You are so glamorous. You are so handsome.
I don't have to sing anything.
Girls will sing for you.
Let me remind you. I am interviewing you.
You are not interviewing me.
I am the host. Remember that.
The more love stories you have, the more breakups you have.
That's right.
You took off your glasses.
I can see your expressions clearly.
The hidden love can be seen. - The hidden secrets will be out.
There is a song for this context, sir.
"Your heart's wishes can be expressed through your eyes."
That's why I wore my glasses, sir.
I realised that this trick won't work on you.
Forget about your love stories and your failure.
You didn't get married. You never thought about it.
My mom will love this episode.
Look how I coughed right after the question.
Did you remember something?
This feels like a speed breaker, sir.
Is there a girl we don't know about?
No, sir. - Okay.
Next one.
What is that?
What is this?
Sir, I know..
You can feel shy.
A little more. A little more. There it is.
There it is. I have to say something before I feel shy.
You are shy again.
Sir, this girl is Sarah Mados.
She is a Spanish girl.
She was a lead dancer in my US tour, sir.
She is a fantastic dancer.
I was so impressed with her dance.
We found out that she sings very well.
She is a silent girl.
We were talking about how she is always quiet.
I was worried whether she would ever perform well.
She changed her range the minute she was on the stage.
The other dancers told me that she sings very well.
What I did was...
There is a song of mine "Your love is slow poison."
I told her she should learn it.
I told her I would write the words in Spanish for her.
She learnt the song in ten minutes.
She sang the song on the stage when I re-orchestrated.
She sang it in Telugu.
Wow! - She doesn't know Telugu.
"Your love is slow poison."
"Come to me."
You have two options.
Would you become a hero first? Or would you get married?
Any option is better than the second option, sir.
So that's not even an option.
Sir, I would always choose the other option.
Okay. Okay.
Rockstar DSP will become a hero now.
When will you become a hero?
I am listening to a lot of narrations, sir.
But I am waiting for something to touch my soul.
Nothing has touched your soul yet.
Yes, a lot of good things are happening so far, sir.
Best of luck. - Thank you, sir.
You don't want to talk about your wedding.
Let's talk about the first song you wrote.
Sir. - A song you wrote for a girl.
If you could sing a song from your heart...
"We are all mesmerised by your beauty."
"We looked everywhere to get a glance at you."
"One. Two. Let's go."
"We are all mesmerised by your beauty."
"We looked everywhere to get a glance at you."
"Your eyes are intoxicating."
"Look at me, you beautiful woman."
Everybody!
Woah!
Let's welcome the purest and the most beautiful Rashmika Mandana.
"Your eyes are intoxicating, Sreevalli."
"Your words are precious."
I loved a certain statement made by your mother.
You mentioned it in an interview.
'You are not my daughter. You are the daughter of the nation.'
Yeah. Rashmika is the nation's daughter.
That's why I don't want to refer to them as my fans.
They are my extended family.
That's where it is coming from.
Nice. Very nice.
Whom do you want to work with repeatedly?
Vijay Devarakonda.
Allu Arjun sir.
They are among the artists I worked with.
She is clarifying it for us.
You don't want to hurt others.
Vijay Thalapathi sir. Vicky Kaushal.
What if you have to pick one name? - I can't.
You have a beautiful name.
They started calling you crush.
National crush.
I don't want to go into it in depth. - Yeah. Yeah.
You have a beautiful name. I will not mess it.
Who is your crush?
Fill in the blanks yourself.
There is only one blank.
I am leaving it up to the audience.
You tell me the answer.
Which Vijay? You will get in trouble for this.
Is there any Vijay in the audience?
Oh no!
I will change my name to Vijay Jagapati.
You are my crush, sir.
This is unfair.
Are there any sentiments attached to the rings?
Sentimental, sir.
One of them has to be your favourite. There is history to it.
This is for astrology purposes.
Someone said it would bring good luck to me.
This is for styling.
And..
This one is a very special gift.
"What else do we need in life? This is all we want."
"You came into my life. My life will be a celebration."
'Dear Comrade' is your favourite film, right?
One of my favourite films.
"My eyes are eagerly waiting for your arrival."
"My dreams are flowing like a river."
"I want to be in your embrace."
Look how beautiful this song is.
"I want to be in your embrace."
"I am waiting for the tides to wash me away."
"My love is unstoppable."
"My heart is craving for you."
"My life is craving for something special."
"There is a longing in my eyes."
I love that song, sir. - Very good.
I enjoyed it.
Good. You are sporty enough to join them.
Yeah.
