EP - 119 | 🔥😂SUPER FUNNN‼️ Ft. JAGAPATHI BABU GARU | Telugu Podcast | Raw Talks With VK |

00:00 I'm always changing my outfits. Sound? We're rolling. Somewhere in the dark, in the vibe. Rohit bro, hi bro. Next level. Do you know what happens when you give a tiger to a tiger? Pack up was done, we got on the red bus. We were sitting quietly and talking to each other. Okay. Then they saw me and said, Jagabath Baba. 45 minutes journey. Then finally I said, I am Jagabath Baba. And I came and took off my shoes. My wife's husband was like, he is this, he is that. I don't think anything is a problem in life. Everything is experience. Unless, you lose someone you love. He said, bad news for the first day. He said, sound area is gone. Immediately I said,

00:45 It's good to have a mobile phone or landline and call anyone. It's good to get 5000 rupees in serial daily. Gone! There's a wall in front of me. What do I do? There's no way. If I hit my head, it'll break. I hit the wall. I found a way. I found a legend. Crazy! There is always a door opening. That is what I'm saying. Alcohol, smoking, gambling... Are those still there? Are they continuing? I do gambling sometimes. I enjoy millions of dollars rolling. I enjoy the mood of the person. How the person is behaving when he comes. Because, the mind of a human is always revealed like a pack. Oh, you're fucked!

Because, the mind of a human is always revealed like a pack. Oh, you're fucked!

01:35 I can do this one step. I love Ramya Krishna. You said he tried it in the video. Who didn't? It's easy to say something. Everyone knows it. After you say, go away, go away, if you want to meet those two again, you'll die. If you want them to stay, it's better if you don't say it. Silence is the best violence. Silence is the best revenge. When the eagle gets old, it goes to the top of the mountain, and it keeps on suffering, and it will tear all the claws, and it will leave all the feathers and come back like a youth.

02:21 So that is what is happening now I thought of making a podcast format with one of the best blends. You are one of the top 3 guests who blend well. I won't say the other 2 names. You have to say it. I'll tell you later. Okay. You keep saying that you're not going to interviews, parties, etc. I thought of giving up. You called me later and said, I'm not going. I'm not going. In this format.

In this format.

03:29 Anyways, thank you. But, I was scared of Marvel X-Saturn, not Farmhouse. I was scared of the lighting, the vibe. Rohit bro, hi bro. But, next level. Thank you very much for this. This idea is good for this setup. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. See, basically, the reason why I stopped doing interviews is The negative matter is more than the positive matter. We say something good, but the good comes out of it. I don't like to do something that has nothing to do with TRP. I want to get the message right. One of the reasons. But I've been wanting to do this for a year now. Swapna also told me many times. You called me, Ram told me. I wanted to do it but

04:27 I have a different aim. I want to do a proper podcast. I heard that. That's one of the reasons. But I like your boldness, your frankness, your positiveness. Thank you so much. So, it's good to interview everyone. I'll interview you. You need some change, right? Okay, one question. Okay. Tell me what you think about me. So, Liam, Ben now. I just said that you will say everything positively, that's why I asked. What you heard and what you thought, what is your personal opinion? If you tell me, I will tell you the answer. Whether you say pros or cons, I will tell you. Sure sir. We talk about you regularly in our house. On a topic. My mother may scold me. Actually, we go to get together regularly. We meet the family there and go to the farmhouse. My father is a dancer.

We meet the family there and go to the farmhouse. My father is a dancer.

05:29 So, sorry sir. My father's name is Jagabath Babu. I mean my mother. So, I don't know how to dance. I guess that's how we hear your name regularly. I did a test too. I saw a video, a reel. You were talking in an interview. You said, I came out one day and saw my car. I asked, what's the love for this car? You said, I said, give it to me. Is it true or not? Do actors behave like this? When you are in a glamorous field, society expects it. When you are in the industry, if you are speaking with media training, you will get tested. I asked some people if it is true or not. But almost everyone said the same thing. Almost? I spoke to three people. I am sorry, three people. I will tell you three. Some people said they don't know when they talk to others. They can't go into the discussion much.

06:19 But, I think the boldness is more important. You guys play without filters. I did this one thing personally. I did this in the last 15 days. I watched 6 interviews. From the 2 interviews with ABN and TNR. I watched all of them. I was wondering if they were giving different answers to the same topic. I was wondering if they were spontaneously giving different answers. But, I didn't see any of that. Personally, I feel... I got the feeling that you are inside and outside. Your nature is... I mean, almost similar to this nature. Wow, so sweet. Thank you. So, when it comes to dance, I'm sorry. No, no, that's okay. I don't know if I can say this or not. I don't know how to dance. That's a different story. I can say that. I know that. Not that.

That's a different story. I can say that. I know that. Not that.

07:10 So, I was scared of dancing from the beginning. I didn't like it. I was like, what is this? Why is everyone staring at me? It was like a game of hide and seek. I was stuck. I didn't think there was any dance in my body. I will show you the one step I got. Okay. I will tell you later. Okay. Actually, many dance masters used to say that you are doing well but you are making mistakes. You are doing well but you are making mistakes. I did well in some films. In most of the films, I did badly.

07:58 Dada used to say, dance master is the one who can make ghosts and ghosts come into your dreams and make you sleep at night. I used to say that. If anyone can do exactly what I do on screen, I will give my remuneration. I used to ask him that. Now you have got the technique. But at least my vision is correct. So dance is yes. And the rest, yeah. Car... See, not just the car, I sold my house as well. Even when I sold my house, I was not there. I was in Vizag for a Legend shooting. My wife passed away. And now, if I pass even yesterday, I am showing my daughter's wedding to my son-in-law. Okay, the old house. The old house. I didn't care about that either. My daughter said one day... Cross-eyed?

And now, if I pass even yesterday, I am showing my daughter's wedding to my son-in-law. Okay, the old house. The old house. I didn't care about that either. My daughter said one day... Cross-eyed?

08:50 We were crossing the road and we saw this house. I didn't feel anything. It was a big house. A house with a lot of parties. It was a crazy place. There were police in the middle of nowhere. There were no requests. There was no other fight. We requested and there were parties in the range of 200 days. The artists liked to come. The parties in my house There are no rules. No matter what anyone does, nobody is judging anybody. Even if you get drunk, it's okay. He will sleep, tomorrow he will go, the day after tomorrow he will stay. Women, men, anyone can stay free. They can stay up till 4 or 5 in the morning, sometimes 7 in the evening, have breakfast and leave. So, even a house with so many memories, I never felt like it. I never thought of Ammesha.

09:47 Because it's a materialistic thing. It is just a house. This is just a car. But it's very tough to think like that now, sir. It was easy for me. I left Hero because it was easy. Oh yeah, Hero tag. Tag. So, it's a habit of mine. Leaving is very simple. You have to let go of your breath too. If you hold it, you die. So, you have to let go of anything. You can't hold it and sit. Very true. So, if you learn to let go, it is simple. That's why I think like that. Before getting into serious topics, I have some things I have heard recently. You had parties, parties without a reason, and you said 200 days in a year. I have heard some of your vaguest stories.

09:47 Because it's a materialistic thing. It is just a house. This is just a car. But it's very tough to think like that now, sir. It was easy for me. I left Hero because it was easy.

You had parties, parties without a reason, and you said 200 days in a year. I have heard some of your vaguest stories.

10:40 Some people told me that you are a high night delishkura. So, if you can talk about your vaguest stories. Party days? Yeah. Those days. Those days. You said parties without any reason. Not me, but my friend made a joke. He said, I must drink today. I asked him why. He said, what is it today? It's July 28th. I asked him which year. He said, it's 2002. He said, it won't come again today. That's why I want to drink. So, that's how our parties were. Literally, if we started from December 15th, 14th, the parties would end by the end of February. And I would leave for the morning shooting at 7 o'clock. How? I would leave normally, not fresh. I don't remember half of my career. I don't remember half of the countries.

11:34 My shooting is happy because the shots start at the airport. Everyone gets to go for two rounds. It should continue till it reaches the airport. The flow doesn't stop anywhere. I love travelling abroad. We all have fun while travelling. It's fun when you cross the country. I can't fully enjoy the fun. Whenever I go to any country, I have to go to a police station. I will take them there. Police station? Not fights or violence. Just fun. I will make them laugh and go to them and make them laugh and come back. Tell me one or two. Vegas. I have to tell you a lot but Vegas.

12:32 Actually, whatever happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. And everything goes in Vegas. You can do anything. We went in a chartered flight. From here to New York. We decided to go to Orlando. Both of them. I won't say who is the second person. They are men. I shouldn't say. I shouldn't say. So I went there and sat there. I was gambling like Vegas. I was looking at it when they hit blackjack. They didn't hit blackjack. Then I got this one step.

13:15 This is the dance. Then they say, you cannot do this, this is a casino floor, you are distracting. I would have seen Yedupma and Mohan here. Then they would say, go away, go away, go away. Then they would dance again. After that, there were four of them. Four of them, three chartered flights. Again. For four? Yes, for four. It was a big mess. Was it our flight? We had nothing to do with it. We were just friends. We were just friends in Ireland. After that we went to the room. After that, there was a big scene. I'll stand here. No, it's okay. The scene was there. They came again. They gave us a warning. They made us cry again. We danced again.

14:05 They sent smoke to our room. We were waiting outside. We packed up and went to the fire alarm. We went to the chartered plate. Vegas was on fire. I got kicked out of Bellagio. So this is one of the samples. The sample is in this range. It's fun. See, memory. It's a memory. I mean, I did a lot of things. A lot of things. And they used to call me Tequila King. Tequila King. You said that everyone should drink while talking about the team. When you were in your set. I heard a recent story about your father. Even when he was at the peak of his production, he didn't have any big production houses or any big patterns. The day he drank water,

15:00 Everyone should eat the same. I heard you follow the same. Even if it's food or anything else. If it's your production. So, maybe the roots come from there. Money is not enough no matter how much you give. There's nothing else. Very true, sir. If you feed yourself, you'll say, enough. You'll remember it and say, enough. You can't eat anymore. You can't eat more than that. So, you work for that. If you enjoy the food, you'll be satisfied with what you feed yourself. Very true, sir. So, it is a satisfaction. Absolutely. So anyway, if it's about cons, I'll tell you that too. You didn't tell me the cons. So, I have a lot of mental issues. I remember the dialogues. I'll take some prompting. That's a different story. And mood swings. So, these two are my problems. These are the two cons I have. What are the mood swings?

And mood swings. So, these two are my problems. These are the two cons I have. What are the mood swings?

16:01 I don't say anything to anyone. I don't suffer. They'll understand the mood, but that is very rare. I like positive people and positive atmosphere. If I see one negative, I lose my mood. So that is my problem. That's mood swings. I heard that if you go abroad, you can have fun even in the set. Depends upon the crowd. Mostly it's fun. Pranks. Mostly it's fun because it's our life. It's our journey. This journey is our life. So in that journey, especially we meet so many creators, creative people. We meet beautiful people, girls, even smart guys and technicians.

16:53 It's a magic world. Cinema is magic. If there is magic, why not enjoy the magic? That is my concept. Do you have any particular set that you remember? I liked it a lot. Let's laugh and forget everything. He is very open and genuine. We connect with genuine people. That's how we have maximum fun with Ramya. Another incident was in Kabaddi. The shooting was done in Rajov.

The shooting was done in Rajov.

17:54 I went quietly and got on the red bus. I got on the bus quietly. I was in a normal dress. My makeup man and I got on the bus. I was sitting quietly and talking to my parents. Everyone saw me. They didn't care if I was there or not. They started whispering. They asked me if I was Jagabath Baba. I didn't talk. They said, Jagabath Baba? No. It was a 45 minute discussion. A journey. From my village to my hotel. It was a small lodge. I finally said, I am Jagabath Baba. And I left. Crazy. You did something similar recently. I saw a video.

18:45 You are walking in the streets of Hyderabad. Jagadeesh Market. I thought you were going to ask me if it was a social experiment. No, it happened. There were 2-3 lanes and I was not in a position to go by car. So I decided to walk. My people are like, as usual, walking around the market. Nothing will happen. Do one thing, you don't come. I'll go alone, in a normal dress. I'll go quietly. You come behind me, we'll see. If there's a problem, we'll see. I know 99% that I won't come. No one is recognizing me. Strange, huh? What I'm saying is, if you take your work and leave, no one will care.

19:32 I wanted to prove a point. How popular it is, aside from that, it's an artist on the road, an artist and people are people. But I didn't remember. Basically, no one expected. When you do things you don't expect, nothing will happen. So I went quietly, shot and came. I enjoyed that experience. I like it. You should not compare small actors. New actors come in a few cars after a few movies. I watch them when I go to events. Even the people who come for shoots.

New actors come in a few cars after a few movies. I watch them when I go to events. Even the people who come for shoots.

20:12 I feel a little non-sync there. I don't need it. At least, I don't need to think about it. I felt that it was unnecessary. I proved that it was unnecessary. That's it. See, I... An incident... For example... I don't remember how many years ago. In the new Shublag Noor release. You held a meeting of 10,000 people. Political meeting. For Telugu Nation. My uncle is an MLA. I was campaigning for him. I don't know anything about politics. Without a bouncer, without security, I handled 10,000 people.

20:57 I don't know much about politics, but I was a bit crazy. But, I was like, this is the guy who sold his wife, this is the guy, this is the guy. That's a different story. That's a crazy movie. You are like Shiva. That kind of experimental movie. I mean, in those days, how did they accept? With what calculations did you take? Was it a collective move or a collective decision? I'll hand over to Reddy. S.V. Krishnareddy. Dattu's courage and his courage, Venkatesh Rao's K.V. Rao's and Krishnareddy's combination. Ramya Krishna was also involved. Ramya is not in the film. We were making Allar Premigudi. We were making a song. We didn't have cell phones then. We were far away. We got an offer from Krishnareddy.

21:44 If someone comes, I'll tell them that there are no dates. I'll tell them that there are no dates and send them back. Ramya Krishna will ask me what I heard. She'll ask me if I'm mad and I'll tell her that I'll adjust the dates. She'll tell me to do something. She'll tell me to accept it. So I accepted her words. That's how I got it. Isn't that a super hit movie? There are two parts in it. It's on one of my favorite lists. That song, Porikanti Mangala Gauri, the way you sang it. We did that in one day. Really? We did it till 12 at night and finished it. Do you remember the lyrics? No, they sent me from the recording theatre a couple of times. It's not good to send me from here. But the lyrics are good. That's superb. Sastry sir. What's this? Chilakka? Chilakka? Unbelievable. Sastry sir is a great singer.

22:40 There is a good example of his. Everyone knows that he is a great man. He told me that one day he was walking like me to buy cigarettes. Someone asked him, why are you walking so simply? He said, I don't know how to live complicatedly. Superb dialogue. What a dialogue! See, we are complicating ourselves. We can live simply. Like walking? Actually, yeah. That is what I was trying to do. So anyway, why did we come to this topic? Shublagnam. Shublagnam topic. I arranged a political meeting. So, if you can handle it like that, I feel it's very simple to handle the people. If it's quiet, they'll be quiet. If we make a fuss, they'll make even more of a fuss. So, always be silent. That's all. I'll be standing there, slowly. I'll be like, do whatever you want. They won't do anything.

24:21 I don't have the interest to be diplomatic. I don't even have the interest to do it. I don't know if you don't have the interest or not. Whatever it is, that is the situation. I was a kid in school. I hate school. I saw a video of you. I don't like school. In one of the videos, your father said what you said and edited it and released it. Both of you said the same thing. That we shouldn't go to school. Yeah, yeah. Please, sorry. If you say so, I don't know about him not going to school. I don't remember. Didn't you see that? I'll send it to you. So, when you said that, I remembered this. Radhakrishnan asked me.

24:59 He made a lot of money, you didn't learn from me. You made a lot of money. It's his blood, right? Same footsteps. In case of humor issues, you are the defense. In the old days, when you used to earn a lot of money and then lost it all, and you didn't even know about the house selling situation, as far as I remember, you were already 3 crores short. I read that you were in a minus during the house selling time. 11 crores. Oh! After seeing all these phases, you are just making fun out of it. Not just now, but even then.

25:45 You used to talk about it in the legendary news too. I would confess that I cried for a year in 2012. I realized the pain of the peak. I took it easy until then. I asked my mother when I was 12 years old, what is life? Is this all? Will there be nothing in life? Waking up in the morning, brushing my teeth, taking a bath, going to school, studying, coming back, studying, taking a bath, sleeping again. What is this? It's boring. This is life. Life is boring. I would go with a different philosophy, a different thing. That thought was in the process. My daughter also repeated that when she was 12 years old. So I think it runs in the blood. So everything is light for me. In the first flop, I used to party. Another flop? Come on, let's party. One reason is that

26:41 I don't think anything is a problem in life. Everything is experience. Nothing is a problem unless you lose someone you love. That's the only thing to worry about. You have to learn to let go of it. It's such a difficult process. If you put it aside, I feel it's difficult for everyone. There's a story. There's a sad story. Everyone is like, I'm tolerating because of you, if it's someone else, he'll commit suicide. I'm bored with this garbage, why do you need suicide? Don't you have any work? My concept is that everyone has a problem, I don't have an emotional problem, that's enough for me. Financial problem is not a problem for me. I have confidence that I can earn money somehow.

My concept is that everyone has a problem, I don't have an emotional problem, that's enough for me. Financial problem is not a problem for me. I have confidence that I can earn money somehow.

27:33 The same emotional problem is not in my hands. I can't do anything without it. Because it is in my hands, I can be brave. And I believe in enjoying life. Life is supposed to be enjoyed. Why do we need to crib about everything? Life is simple. We can complicate things. If we think that this stone is a problem, it is very difficult to move it. If we round it in our mind, we can solve it. I have learnt to solve problems. And at a certain stage, I started having fun with the problems. I was like, is this another one? Is this another one? Is this another one? Finally in 2012, in a situation where I couldn't do anything wrong, I cried for a few days. But sir, in this context, I generally don't get that opportunity from anyone and I don't get that leniency from anyone. So I'm taking a little bit of it and talking. 10-11 crores, whatever the amount is, to get that much loss, nothing happens in a day, right sir?

So I'm taking a little bit of it and talking. 10-11 crores, whatever the amount is, to get that much loss, nothing happens in a day, right sir?

28:26 Can you talk about what went wrong? We can't talk about it because I don't know. I don't know anything. There are two types here. People might think I'm being careless. This is not carelessness. This is letting go. Letting go means We can earn money for some people, and then we can earn money for ourselves. Once you become a slave to that, you have nothing left. You have the desire to lose your father, the desire to kill your brother, the desire to marry your wife, I'm saying this purposely because it's a dowry. I respect women a lot. Of course, yes sir. So, in the days when I was thinking like this, I was saying this is nothing. This is not the thing. Don't hang on to it. It will hurt your hand.

29:22 Learn to give. Lakshmi Devi is also like this. So, you have to give and take. It is not carelessness. I need money. 100% need. But how much money do you need? That is the point. I always say, if you have so many coins on one side, you are a happy person. It is not enough. After a crore, you need another crore. After that, you need another crore. Very true. After this, we have come to this level. Next, this is the country. Next, where are you running? What will you do? Where will you get all the money? So, there is a limit to that also. Now, money is a yoga. It is okay until it is a disease. Don't make it a disease. Now, money is a disease. Having money is a yoga. Experiencing money is a disease.

29:22 Learn to give. Lakshmi Devi is also like this. So, you have to give and take. It is not carelessness. I need money. 100% need. But how much money do you need? That is the point. I always say, if you have so many coins on one side, you are a happy person. It is not enough. After a crore, you need another crore. After that, you need another crore. Very true. After this, we have come to this level. Next, this is the country. Next, where are you running? What will you do? Where will you get all the money? So, there is a limit to that also. Now, money is a yoga. It is okay until it is a disease. Don't make it a disease. Now, money is a disease. Having money is a yoga. Experiencing money is a disease.

30:14 People are crazy about money. It's not wrong to earn money. Earn as much as you can. Earn honestly. Because earning money is a passion for some people. It can be because of creativity or... It's not wrong to earn as much as you can. It's a validation for many people. It's a validation for the work you've done. It's not justification. They have, see, until you earn straight, you're superb. You want justice, you want women, you want murderers, it's okay if they all die, it's enough if I'm the only good one. This is where is the disease. Don't get into that disease. Don't get into addiction. There is no other drug like that. That drug won't let go. People get crazy when they get that money. Now, this is difficult.

33:43 Luckily, we didn't have any fights in our family. No one had any fights. I didn't have any thoughts. No one would talk to me. I lost my money. My brothers didn't ask me. They didn't have any intention of asking me. My sisters didn't ask me. No one asked me. No one asked me so far. They didn't even look at me like that. They didn't have any thoughts. So, luckily, my family... I was lucky. What else could I ask for? I was like, why should I get my raga when I don't have any? But generally, people say that a rich person is not in need of money. He may have a different pain or his thought is different. But in your situation, I think it was in the movie Legend. I think it was after that movie, you were so clear about money.

34:38 Even if you are in a complete down stage, you would have changed with that one movie. But still you have the same thought process. I felt that this man has a different thought process about money or materialistic things. And about the family also. They say that people don't understand and get used to it. Whether it is true or not, it can be the same in all cases. But when it comes to you, you are very bold, blunt on everything. You talk about everything even without filters. At the same time, when it comes to money, Was it not tough for your family, for your wife majorly? That's the greatness. It definitely was tough. It was tough, it is tough. You seem to have become used to it. That is me. That is my design. That's me. Design? This is my design. I believe in design. I think you are a design. Everybody here is a design.

34:38 Even if you are in a complete down stage, you would have changed with that one movie. But still you have the same thought process. I felt that this man has a different thought process about money or materialistic things. And about the family also. They say that people don't understand and get used to it.

At the same time, when it comes to money, Was it not tough for your family, for your wife majorly? That's the greatness. It definitely was tough. It was tough, it is tough. You seem to have become used to it. That is me. That is my design. That's me. Design? This is my design. I believe in design. I think you are a design. Everybody here is a design.

35:33 So, that becomes a big topic. But talking about C, this is where I feel I am lucky enough to have so many people who loves me and who respects me in spite of what I am doing. The work I do is not ordinary work. It is a work of someone. I have done such things. But no one has asked me so far. Luckily, there is no one in my family who asks, thinks and troubles me. Even my father. Luckily, we don't have that fight. In fact, when he passed away, I think it was the last time I saw him.

36:13 I told him, where are you going? I have work. I have another panchayat. Sit there. What is it? You need to send the property. Your father has passed away. You need to share the property. Are you mad? What is there for you to be mad about? All the idiots say, send the property as soon as your father passes away. That's why I'm saying it. That's it. There is nothing there. You see, we take it all lightly. So that is the understanding we have in our family. You just said design. If we can talk about it. When you were talking about Co-stars, you were talking about success. It's all design. You said it so subtly. So if we can talk about that. What do you mean by design? You have already touched on this topic. If we can talk about it. That's a concept I have hidden. Can I talk about it? Sure.

36:13 I told him, where are you going? I have work. I have another panchayat. Sit there. What is it? You need to send the property. Your father has passed away. You need to share the property. Are you mad? What is there for you to be mad about? All the idiots say, send the property as soon as your father passes away. That's why I'm saying it. That's it. There is nothing there. You see, we take it all lightly. So that is the understanding we have in our family. You just said design. If we can talk about it. When you were talking about Co-stars, you were talking about success. It's all design. You said it so subtly. So if we can talk about that. What do you mean by design? You have already touched on this topic. If we can talk about it. That's a concept I have hidden. Can I talk about it? Sure.

37:08 Most people don't believe this because the whole world is I, me, myself. I am great, I am the creator, I am the work, I am everything. Everyone has a desire to believe. So if someone says this, no one will believe it. This is my concept. I am not against anyone. So what I am saying is, you are a design, I am a design. Jagapath Babu is there for example. I was born the way I was born. I don't know how I grew up. I didn't know how to get that height and look. I didn't do any plastic surgery. I didn't do any voice modulation. I didn't have any interest in films. I didn't even want to make films. Nature told me that I can do this and nothing else. I took that as well.

38:07 So, that way I am a design. Now, everyone thinks I am the world. But, in the world, I am everything. If you think in reverse, and now I am here, but I am not a single person. I am a person with a force. Like you or anybody. Not me. Generally, I am talking. Millions of people have seen my films. Now there is a topic about your father. It has been shot in your house too. So lot of people are getting influenced by one person. That could be anybody. So it is not only you. You are thinking that you are the only one.

38:52 You are not saying, I am, I am, I am. This is the universe. Energy is from the universe. You are coming from the universe. The way you grew up, no matter what age you are, you have a purpose for everything. You have a reason for everything. You have a science. If I think of everything, why I am saying this is, the world will get complicated. You will go to your ego. I am, I am, I am. For example, I was shooting in an incident. A small artist named P.A came to me and said, I have been thinking of committing suicide for the past 3 days. I switched off the main and was contemplating suicide. I was ready to commit suicide and switched on the main. You were seen on TV.

39:46 Whatever you do in life, you can earn 3% of anything except your life. Don't commit suicide. Did you say that? Yes. That's what she said at that time. See, I didn't do anything. What did I say after seeing that? I know where you are when you are alive. I know what I can do. I know what I can't do. I know what you will do when you die. I don't know what will happen. I don't know how you will be. I don't know where you will go. What will you do? I told him to stay and do something like that. A person lived. I casually said in an interview that he lived. His family lived. So, there is such a design. So, it's not me who did it. It is nature. It is the universe. That's why I don't take photos with anyone. I like many people.

40:42 There is Amitabh Bachchan, I made a film with him. Saira? Saira. But I didn't ask him. Because I like him, I respect him. But I had to take a photo with him. He is also a human being. Like that, Jagatpathbhai is also a human being. What is special about him? There are people more beautiful than me, actors who are better than me. Why did I get that opportunity? I got it. It came. I am not doing anything. It is happening. So, when life is so simple, I am trying to simplify life. Why am I saying this? Because if we remove all these things from our minds, love will increase. Love for others will increase, giving will increase. I said this in the concept. How did you end up getting into industries? You said you are not interested. I told you. I am not interested in studies.

41:38 I didn't have the intelligence to study, I was supposed to use my influence in school education. I copied and passed. I joined my father's company to escape from school. I did business there. That too was lost. Did you have a production company or did you take furniture? In the process, Subramanian Reddy and Ravi Kishore were saying, you are good, you can do it. I thought, what am I good at? I didn't have a thought. I came to know later that many people came to see me. I thought they were for furniture. I didn't have that much opportunity. Suddenly, nature showed me this way. I came to this way. I failed.

42:29 Then I became successful. Then whatever. Even then, the continuation of this... I didn't take films seriously. I didn't even remember the flop line. Line? Yes, line. Written off. Jagadpant Babu was a late industry. A waste candidate. At that time, a producer gave me a year's notice and told me to leave the industry and go back to work. That's when I started. This was in 2012? No, no, no. This was in 1990, 1980. Oh, that's when? In the beginning. In the beginning. That's when I started. Seriousness. The reason I'm telling you this is because every one of us has an incident.

43:31 We come to this only when that incident happens. That's why I said this. I am very happy. I don't want to sound sad. I know. I always say this. If Gandhi was not thrown out of the train, we wouldn't have had independence. Assault or whatever. How does one person's influence change an incident? We are thinking something, we are pulling it. Somewhere there, with a policy of a US president, the whole world is changing. What are you there? What are you great? What will you do? You can't do anything. What will you do when Corona comes? Great people have gone, without getting oxygen. Simple. Shall we go into fun? Enough. People will beat.

43:31 We come to this only when that incident happens. That's why I said this. I am very happy. I don't want to sound sad. I know. I always say this. If Gandhi was not thrown out of the train, we wouldn't have had independence. Assault or whatever. How does one person's influence change an incident? We are thinking something, we are pulling it.

Great people have gone, without getting oxygen. Simple. Shall we go into fun? Enough. People will beat.

44:23 There was another question, let's go back to that. In 2012, when you were crying or depressed? Not a bit, I was fine. You were singing for a year. What changed? What happened? Good question. So, helpless situation or impossible situation? I have never said this before, so I don't know if I have said this in many interviews. But I will say it. It's better to know all this. Because if you tell me, I'll be like, okay, is this how a year-long life is? If you know that, even a common man will feel good. So, like this, I... Two phones, literally, one mobile and one landline, it would be nice if anyone calls. It would be nice if someone would act. It would be nice if they gave 5000 in serials every day. Such a situation. So, in such a situation, in a time when there are no movies,

45:19 I don't want to go into details, but during that time I started thinking about Pravarakki's movie. I was the hero at that time. That was the last movie? Yes, the second last movie and the last movie. That was the only film I had left in the beginning. It was a big budget film, around 7-8 crores. I had zero market. I was watching dates with Raja Ravindra. I told him that it was a film that would not work. The producers would lose money.

45:19 I don't want to go into details, but during that time I started thinking about Pravarakki's movie. I was the hero at that time. That was the last movie? Yes, the second last movie and the last movie. That was the only film I had left in the beginning. It was a big budget film, around 7-8 crores. I had zero market. I was watching dates with Raja Ravindra. I told him that it was a film that would not work. The producers would lose money.

46:01 He said, are you mad? What will you do with a film that is already there? So, from then on, my thought process was over. I realized that. You came to check the reality. It is reality. We need to have brains to know. So, at that time, I thought okay. I was sitting at home for 2-3 years. Ramse came. He came and said he will take photos. I asked him to take photos. I was a little scared. I said I want a hero look. He said he will take photos.

46:40 See, there is always a door opening. That is what I am saying. Actually, in those days, no one had a chance to survive. I know that no one has become a villain from a hero. I got that chance. And I'm working with the best directors, with the best heroes, with the biggest productions. What else do you want? Since we got this context, just an observation. You can say that it's nothing. What I felt was...

46:40 See, there is always a door opening. That is what I am saying. Actually, in those days, no one had a chance to survive. I know that no one has become a villain from a hero. I got that chance. And I'm working with the best directors, with the best heroes, with the biggest productions. What else do you want? Since we got this context, just an observation. You can say that it's nothing. What I felt was...

47:36 I somehow felt that you didn't get the credit you deserved, with respect to your decisions. I think you did double action in your first movie. I don't know about that. I am not a multi star. No, it's a new movie. Actually, Krishnan Raj is the hero. He has the title of Simha Swapna. I am not a con man. His father brought me to Kaya Madras. It was already a super hit. I was very smart and told him it wasn't good. So I did another film. I got all the schemes.

48:26 Not just that, you have done experimental movies. Like the movie Anukokunda Okarujan, Charming and You. You have done experiments like that. You have started with the character. You have started with the lead actor and then you have started with the character roles. You have done multi-starred movies. You have done family movies. You have done too many first of its kind. Do you really feel that you got the credit you need or deserve? Thanks for reminding me. I can't say anything more than that. I feel like I'm being cripped. No, actually... Okay. One of the major things in this is... You said it subtly, but...

48:26 Not just that, you have done experimental movies. Like the movie Anukokunda Okarujan, Charming and You. You have done experiments like that. You have started with the character. You have started with the lead actor and then you have started with the character roles. You have done multi-starred movies. You have done family movies. You have done too many first of its kind. Do you really feel that you got the credit you need or deserve? Thanks for reminding me. I can't say anything more than that. I feel like I'm being cripped. No, actually... Okay. One of the major things in this is... You said it subtly, but...

49:08 You can't say whether you are a successful or failed hero. But you have the mentality of a hero. You feel like a king. You feel like a hero. You feel like a villain. I never feel like a hero. I should be a hero in life but not in movies. That's why I had such thoughts. Hero is just a tag. It will be there today and go away tomorrow. What's the big deal? How am I a hero? Just because I got the opportunity, I don't have to feel bad about it. Because I know it won't last. And it didn't last. People say, you didn't think it would last because you didn't expect it to. That's not true. It's my design. That is my life. That is the way it is. I believe in astrology.

50:00 I am an astrologer, I read palmistry. You said you will tell me. I told you a lot of bad things in 2-3 hands, and I stopped with that. So, when I put that aside, when I did my horoscope, the astrologer clearly said, you are not lucky in money, Okay. If you have land, you won't have double outages. It will be less, but you won't have more. That's your fate. You have to work as a laborer for life. That is your design. I am saying that this is my design. So, that is the way I am made. And I am happy about it. I don't have a problem with it. Because I enjoy working. But one thing, I observed recently. I'm sorry, I'm telling this to your personal as well. If someone wants to buy land, buy from him.

53:25 That is a mind connect. And since you are talking about breathing, I heard an incident in your journey. In a movie called Jagapathi, there was a breathing issue. What is the answer to that? I have told you many times, Namsi. I will tell you very briefly. They kept me in the underground, threw a coffin, covered me and a platform on top of it. At the right time, I was in the underground. It took me 30 to 32 seconds more than it should have. There was no oxygen. So the only way is breathing technique. I took a small breath to survive. Everyone thought I was dead. They forgot where they put me after they removed the canopy. I was not able to remove it and open it. Nails were not coming out. When I came out, everyone was crying. But I will tell you a beauty.

54:21 That morning I got a call. It was 2.30 in the afternoon. I got a call from Vijayawada at 11.30. A lady, 3-4 years back, her husband, that lady, chased me and was driving the car. He grabbed me and said, Sir, my wife Abhimanyu, she is an astrologer. I said, I said. That lady called me. She asked, Sir, are you fine? I said, I am fine. What happened? She said, be careful. After that incident, I called her. I told her, don't worry, I called you because I was afraid you might die. Didn't she tell you before? No, I didn't tell anyone before. She didn't tell you before? No, she didn't. She didn't tell me. If she had told me, I would have been careful. See, the situation was supposed to be like that. So, this is what I'm saying, how could she even guess? How could she guess that there was a Gandham at that time? So, something is there, you know. That is why I believe in astrology.

55:21 I can see a maze in front of me. Too many connecting points. I don't know how much I can say about my father. This will be repeated but whatever. He died at the age of 42. He has a funeral every 10 years. Let it happen. Every 22nd, 32nd, 42nd. 42nd year, a flight from Bombay to Hyderabad. The flight crashed and everyone died. Not a single person survived. This was a crash in 1980 something. It was before 1980. The news came, everyone was sad naturally. Then my father's friend called Bombay and told me to inform you.

56:13 He asked me if I was alive. I said yes. He asked me what happened. I said that my flight had crashed and all of us were killed. He was right to say that he had gone to the airport and took a boarding card. He said that if I went twice, the flight delay would be too much and I would have been killed. He did not do anything great there. Universe or destiny, whatever, I know. There is still life. It is not yet gone. There is clarity. He survived the flight delay and the Chirag case. He survived. All the passengers died. Another thing is that it is not the fault of the horoscope. It is clearly written in the horoscope. If you do these poojas for 14 or 12 years, there is a chance. My mother did those poojas. So again, that is also correct.

56:13 He asked me if I was alive. I said yes. He asked me what happened. I said that my flight had crashed and all of us were killed. He was right to say that he had gone to the airport and took a boarding card. He said that if I went twice, the flight delay would be too much and I would have been killed. He did not do anything great there. Universe or destiny, whatever, I know. There is still life. It is not yet gone. There is clarity. He survived the flight delay and the Chirag case. He survived. All the passengers died. Another thing is that it is not the fault of the horoscope. It is clearly written in the horoscope. If you do these poojas for 14 or 12 years, there is a chance. My mother did those poojas. So again, that is also correct.

57:01 So, you believe in it? I didn't know I was so strong. So many incidents like this. Now, location change. Set up please. Podcast is not set up. Sir, I'm doing all kinds of tests for the good of this Farmhouse Podcast. I'm changing outfits whenever I'm not here. We're doing it in the dark, like a movie set. Yes. I'm very happy we got this job. And you're coming back after a dinner break. I'm enjoying it. Thank you. We had a discussion earlier. You heard our conversation.

57:01 So, you believe in it? I didn't know I was so strong. So many incidents like this. Now, location change. Set up please. Podcast is not set up. Sir, I'm doing all kinds of tests for the good of this Farmhouse Podcast. I'm changing outfits whenever I'm not here. We're doing it in the dark, like a movie set. Yes. I'm very happy we got this job. And you're coming back after a dinner break. I'm enjoying it. Thank you. We had a discussion earlier. You heard our conversation.

58:06 Sir, you have been giving so much about giving and taking, you have given so much to so many people. You are asking us to give you this farmers and you are asking us to do a podcast. What should we do? Podcast? Ok, let's do it together. You said you will start it. I will join you. Let's do it. Simple. And, it might be a little disturbing topic but one of your best friends was Soundarya. After hearing the news that he was killed, what was your first reaction and what was your last... What do you call it? The last conversation you had with him. If you had any interaction with him, what was that? I don't remember the last interaction. What was the last conversation? That I don't remember. But yeah, Soundarya was a very dear friend. He was a dear friend too. At the same time, Amar also. Right, right. Both of them. See, it's not only one person. I'm not being diplomatic. I'll tell you.

59:04 So I was... I already told you, in Malaysia, my wife and I were eating masala dosa. At that time, my brother called me. He said there was bad news. Soundarya had died. Immediately I said, is Amar alive? I didn't react to that. I knew that Soundarya or Amar would not be alive. I told him not to call me if that happened. If that also happened. Not that he's more important. And then... The beauty of my wife is, she said, ticket is only one, you go first, go attend the funeral, go see her. Which wife would say that? To the rumours that came. But again I said, listen, it's over, it's over. Now there is nothing for me to do there. Now I will go in another flight, you stay, if something happens to someone, let me be practical.

59:04 So I was... I already told you, in Malaysia, my wife and I were eating masala dosa. At that time, my brother called me. He said there was bad news. Soundarya had died. Immediately I said, is Amar alive? I didn't react to that. I knew that Soundarya or Amar would not be alive. I told him not to call me if that happened. If that also happened. Not that he's more important. And then... The beauty of my wife is, she said, ticket is only one, you go first, go attend the funeral, go see her. Which wife would say that? To the rumours that came. But again I said, listen, it's over, it's over. Now there is nothing for me to do there. Now I will go in another flight, you stay, if something happens to someone, let me be practical.

1:00:07 We'll go together when we get the ticket. That was my reaction. But I'm a person who won't emote immediately. I will have my own feelings in my own way. It is not by crying or anything. I can't cry. I can't cry even if I want to. That's a big disease. Sometimes I feel like crying is better. But it doesn't come. That's why I cry more in movies. When I get a chance, emotions and scenes work out. So, Soundarya is... She is a dear friend to a lot of people. Men, women, everybody. Ramya also talks so well about her. She cried in the show too. So, I would say you won't very rarely find such human beings

1:00:56 with such a heart because there were times when she too was like me, roaming on the roads of Bangalore. We used to go to slums, feed them, play with them, we did all that. So that nostalgia, those memories are unbelievably good. When you see these rumors in the news, when a particular actor is targeted with few rumors, or else, what is seen is one and what is shown is another. What happened is one and what is seen is another. It is like that. So, have you ever thought about what should be the approach to such things and how to respond to the rumors from your side? Why should I be there when you are not there? So, when we have a bonding at home, why should I even bother? And I don't care a shit for the world. What if they think something?

1:01:41 Now, my life is my wish. Why should they care about my life? Why should I care about their life? I mind my own business. Let them mind their own business. If they can't mind their own business, if this is their business, it's a dirty business. Let them go along with this dirty business. It is their problem. It's not my problem. And if you should talk about your family because in this journey, they play a key role. Starting from your father, mother, everyone in your family. If you could talk about them. I told you earlier, I am most fortunate in my family work because my family never feels that they are wrong or that they are being treated unfairly.

1:02:24 Everyone knows about the father. The industry knows. It was my father who introduced food. He introduced us to carry on and to make food. He is a godfather to the industry. My mother is a saint by herself. You can think of the way we were brought up, like a golden spoon or whatever. But I know that my mother gave me 90 paisa when I was in school and a maximum of 1.30 paisa. We used to go by bus, train, electric train and bus. And we would have a maximum of 40 or 50 paise for food. She would get a parotta and a gravy. That is the way she brought us up. Money is not a conjunction. It is a method. And her way of... She is nature.

1:03:13 She is a natural. Because when you see her in the kutty room, you don't understand it at first. You think she is somewhere. She is in the jubilee house next to my brother's house. In the film nagar. If she sees snakes, she says, go away, someone will kill you. Don't talk to him. Talking to birds. If I don't do that, what will happen to my birds? What will happen to nature? A small room with 4-5 sarees in the house. So much food. If I see it, it will ask me if I'm doing well. If I don't see it, it won't ask. It won't ask me to come. There's no noise. There's no questions. It's quiet like a saint. Whatever I do, it's quiet.

1:03:56 Brothers, they are helpful but they never feel bad about what happened to them. They never give extra advice. Same with my sister and my wife and children. So, like I said earlier, why should I get my disease? I am lavish in money. I won't say it's carelessness. I would say giving. You spoke about your habits, I won't say addictions, but alcohol, smoking, gambling. Are they still there? I do gambling sometimes. After all this also? Actually, yeah.

1:03:56 Brothers, they are helpful but they never feel bad about what happened to them. They never give extra advice. Same with my sister and my wife and children. So, like I said earlier, why should I get my disease? I am lavish in money. I won't say it's carelessness. I would say giving. You spoke about your habits, I won't say addictions, but alcohol, smoking, gambling. Are they still there? I do gambling sometimes. After all this also? Actually, yeah.

1:04:41 Life is a gamble. We don't have a next disc. These are things which I enjoy once in a while. And it is not at all true that I have always been into gambling. I never lost my money in gambling. I lost money in lakhs probably. I have finished 170-180 films. If everything goes to gambling, it's nonsense. I don't play that much. I enjoy watching everybody play. I enjoy money, millions of dollars rolling. I enjoy the mood of the person. How he behaves when he is gone and when he is back. Because, a person's mind is always revealed in a pack. You can see it in a pack. How he is.

1:05:29 You can always judge. There is a saying, brothers are like a pack of cards. You can play as much as you want. You have to be a good loser. Only then you lead a good life. That was the end of it. We drank till our next birth. Now, I am totally sober. Once in a while, maybe 3-4 months, if I don't have any work, I drink a lot, enjoy, forget about it, regret it, feel like I drank unnecessarily, do yoga and get back to normal. But how did you transform like that? Enough. I drank enough. How much more will I drink?

1:05:29 You can always judge. There is a saying, brothers are like a pack of cards. You can play as much as you want. You have to be a good loser. Only then you lead a good life. That was the end of it. We drank till our next birth. Now, I am totally sober. Once in a while, maybe 3-4 months, if I don't have any work, I drink a lot, enjoy, forget about it, regret it, feel like I drank unnecessarily, do yoga and get back to normal. But how did you transform like that? Enough. I drank enough. How much more will I drink?

1:06:21 That's it. I got to know that there is nothing like enjoyment. Basically, what I got to know is that all these friends are not genuine friends, they are drinking friends. So, when you are having company, when you are sitting with them and you think you are enjoying, which you are not actually enjoying, what is the point in even drinking with friends? And without friends, what is the point in drinking at all? Better be high on life. So, I am enjoying my career now. But if in case, people who are already into that, too much addiction, again, from your side, your learning or anything, that they should know right now. Some people struggle, right? They want to give up, but it doesn't happen. So, if you need to tell something, advice, I don't know, but anything from your experience if you want to tell, if you can tell. One thing I'm guilty about is Anthapuram.

1:06:21 That's it. I got to know that there is nothing like enjoyment. Basically, what I got to know is that all these friends are not genuine friends, they are drinking friends. So, when you are having company, when you are sitting with them and you think you are enjoying, which you are not actually enjoying, what is the point in even drinking with friends?

They want to give up, but it doesn't happen. So, if you need to tell something, advice, I don't know, but anything from your experience if you want to tell, if you can tell. One thing I'm guilty about is Anthapuram.

1:07:11 Many people started smoking after seeing my smoking. So that is something I feel very sad because smoking is a worst addiction. Why is it a worst addiction? I can't stop it. So now you still smoke? Yeah, I do. So that is one thing I'm not able to do. Stop. Some people take 2-3 packets of panparag. But that is a wrong mindset. You can drink alcohol if you want to, but you can't. But this is one thing which sticks on and that's the most dangerous habit. So please do not smoke. Non-smokers don't start. Smokers please stop. That's all.

1:07:50 Alcohol once in a while is okay. See, once in a while everyone needs a break. There is no rule for that. There are people who don't drink Rajamouli. If you don't drink, he is high. If you are high on life, you don't need that also. That title is very good. High on life. Yeah, he is high on life. Some people are high on life. So that is enough. That high is enough. Now I am enjoying that high. Amazing. Sir, in your professional journey and personal journey, These are the people whom I take them as an admiration or inspiration. Like these 5 or 3 people. Everyone has that in their life. In that sense, if I ask you that, professionally, industry wise and personally, as your family or friends, is there anyone like that? Special people? Special people or maybe you admire or? Admire means...

1:08:47 I don't know. I would say, everyone is special. I mean, everyone, including you all. Everybody. Nobody is separate but some people are soft cornered, some people are a little affectionate, some people like it. But not everyone can say their names. Too many people are there. Let's say Rajinikanth. If you take him, He has enjoyed his life in various ways and now he is a total Yogi. He is one person who is 100% straight, genuine and whatever he says, he is one of the persons who is really really genuine and what he says has clarity and has life. Like that Rajamouli sir. Rajamouli sir's family, see all of them are therapists.

1:08:47 I don't know. I would say, everyone is special. I mean, everyone, including you all. Everybody. Nobody is separate but some people are soft cornered, some people are a little affectionate, some people like it. But not everyone can say their names. Too many people are there. Let's say Rajinikanth. If you take him, He has enjoyed his life in various ways and now he is a total Yogi. He is one person who is 100% straight, genuine and whatever he says, he is one of the persons who is really really genuine and what he says has clarity and has life. Like that Rajamouli sir. Rajamouli sir's family, see all of them are therapists.

1:09:42 Rajamouli's family, even if you are not in a good mood, or you are in some other family, whoever you are with, not just Rajamouli's family, whoever it is, from kids to adults, whoever you are with, it is an unbelievable experience because the positive energy that flows from there, it is so positive that you have to love them and you have to love everybody. They'll make you love everybody. I mean, including nature, pets. He is a great filmmaker, everyone knows that. But he enjoys food, the whole family. The way they enjoy food, every Sunday, they all go to the same place. Wherever they go, they all go together. Whatever they do, they all go together. When I say one person, I mean one thing, but everyone says the same thing. I have never seen that. Everyone does their work together. Everyone does their work together. I have never seen this anywhere.

1:10:35 And, they think, what kind of people are these people? They think, are there really such people? And they keep looking and looking and seeing. These people are really people of love. That's why nature gives them so much. Very true. So, they are giving to nature. Because they are giving so much, it is coming back so much. So they are the peak of example to enjoy life in a proper way. Right. It can be work, passion, the way they work, food, cricket, pack. Anything. Anything. Whatever they do, one day when they go home, they go to the river and play with everyone. That is very normal for them. So, they

1:10:35 And, they think, what kind of people are these people? They think, are there really such people? And they keep looking and looking and seeing. These people are really people of love. That's why nature gives them so much. Very true. So, they are giving to nature. Because they are giving so much, it is coming back so much.

Whatever they do, one day when they go home, they go to the river and play with everyone. That is very normal for them. So, they

1:11:19 Amitabh Bachchan has a dedicated man. And one person I would love to work with is Rekha ji. She is a princess. Princess from inside. The way she handles herself, the balance. A single woman who has been living in a gracious life. She is a princess by herself. You didn't find a scope to work with her? You worked with Amitabh in Sairam. Yes, I did. How was that experience? I worked with Rajnikanth. Amitabh is that kind of a man. He is a serious man at least on the sets. I don't know otherwise. I didn't interact much. I didn't talk much either. I just admired him. But so much to learn. Every minute he is working. His mind is working, his body is working.

1:12:17 Even if they don't permit health, he is like that. And I heard about your bonding with Prabhas. Prabhas is a big hero in movies. He is a big man. He became a big man. All of them become successful as humans. So they don't have failure. There is no failure in life. So these are people I would say, RGV is one person I really admire. And Puri, Jagan. These are few people I'm mentioning. There are others. I'll have to tell you all. You also did a film with Rajnikanth sir, Kadanayakudu. I did Kadanayakudu, Linga, and many more.

1:12:17 Even if they don't permit health, he is like that. And I heard about your bonding with Prabhas. Prabhas is a big hero in movies. He is a big man. He became a big man. All of them become successful as humans. So they don't have failure. There is no failure in life. So these are people I would say, RGV is one person I really admire. And Puri, Jagan. These are few people I'm mentioning. There are others. I'll have to tell you all. You also did a film with Rajnikanth sir, Kadanayakudu. I did Kadanayakudu, Linga, and many more.

1:13:01 I did another movie. I did 3 movies. So you worked with him. Yes, I did. I did. In fact, he told me a lot of personal things. I learnt a lot from his life. Every word he speaks has a meaning. In his location, Even if you wait in the caravan for a whole day, they won't ask you. They won't ask you if you have a shot or not. They will come slowly and take you away. You will be sitting alone. Someone asked me a beautiful statement. I said, why are you sitting alone? Are you bored? He said, I am sitting with you. I am happy. You sitting with you is bliss. You are winning.

1:13:50 You will never be with yourself. We are still talking about this. When will you be with yourself? You are running around every day. Running around, running around, running around. You are thinking of something else when you are taking a bath or eating. All the time you are not there. Your mind is not present within you. These are the kind of people. Each one has their own style. If you are an RGV, you will live your life on your terms. I saw your episode in Chayam Manish Chayam Udan recently. It was fun. Oh yeah, it's always fun. It's a strange bonding. It's always a different kind of fun. Right. And generally, many people don't say, even if they have some opinion about this, about women, women rights or feminism, you are one of those actors or one of those prominent people

1:13:50 You will never be with yourself. We are still talking about this. When will you be with yourself? You are running around every day. Running around, running around, running around. You are thinking of something else when you are taking a bath or eating. All the time you are not there. Your mind is not present within you. These are the kind of people. Each one has their own style. If you are an RGV, you will live your life on your terms. I saw your episode in Chayam Manish Chayam Udan recently. It was fun. Oh yeah, it's always fun. It's a strange bonding. It's always a different kind of fun. Right. And generally, many people don't say, even if they have some opinion about this, about women, women rights or feminism, you are one of those actors or one of those prominent people

1:14:50 You said it publicly, you talk about feminism publicly. So what if I ask you, because you understand feminism and that word one by one. Some people think it's man-hating, some people think it's one-sided, some people look at it one by one. But what is feminism or what is love towards women according to you? See, I'm not putting down men. Everybody has 86 lakh animals. In everything, there is good and bad. That is a different thing. But feminist... Why I am a feminist is starting from the mother. That is a wonder. A mother is a wonder. That is the creation. Man also is creation. But where did man come from? If we go into the depth, that's a big topic. But the way a mother or a wife or a sister

1:15:48 or a girlfriend, can be anybody, they are all nature related. I always say next to nature women are the most beautiful. I'm talking about the heart also. Even beauty, I'm not lying about it. Comparatively, they have a lot of strength. But again, If you can't go into too much depth, a lot of women are also exploiting. So if you don't touch that angle, we'll take the positive side. If you take the positive people, for example, there's a wife. We think that we're just a wife and we should be at home. But the joke is that we're at home. We're at home. We go out. We meet 100 people. We do something. They sit at home and look after the house, the husband, the kids.

1:16:42 It is not a small thing to clean the house. It is a big thing for me. That is a meditation by itself. That is a dedication by itself. That is real human strength, that is my feeling. So I feel, I definitely feel I am weaker than a woman. I don't, I'm not talking about men. So, when I see them, I feel disgusted. Especially working women. Working women and even a housewife. She's also. Because working women, even if I see a municipal worker, I feel disgusted. When I see a police officer, I feel mad. Like a good police officers. See, all of them, they're doing their duty at home and outside. They're doing so many things at the same time.

1:17:25 And I feel that they have more strength in their hearts. And in your journey, you are a different person. I can talk about so many things, Vamsi. I can be a mother, I can be a wife. They will listen to me, they will see me. They can see and ask, right? What did you talk about? You are like this, I am like that. They can ask any question, but nobody questions. That is their strength. Right. And when you talk in general, you have talked about caste a couple of times. I thought, okay, she has two daughters, maybe she can calculate and talk to them. But both your daughters' marriages proved that you stick to what you say. Generally, I talk about caste. Even if I bring a topic, I talk positively and educatively. I thought you are the right person to talk about that as well. First of all, I am not against the

1:17:25 And I feel that they have more strength in their hearts. And in your journey, you are a different person. I can talk about so many things, Vamsi. I can be a mother, I can be a wife. They will listen to me, they will see me. They can see and ask, right? What did you talk about? You are like this, I am like that. They can ask any question, but nobody questions. That is their strength. Right. And when you talk in general, you have talked about caste a couple of times. I thought, okay, she has two daughters, maybe she can calculate and talk to them. But both your daughters' marriages proved that you stick to what you say. Generally, I talk about caste. Even if I bring a topic, I talk positively and educatively. I thought you are the right person to talk about that as well. First of all, I am not against the

1:18:26 caste system. I'm not talking about any particular caste. That too, will become a yogi, bhogi, rogi. Trust a certain range. Help a certain range. Saying that a person is from a different caste, he should fall, he should get ruined, he should be killed, all of this is not correct. That's rogi. Again, it's wrong to go to any extreme. So, I say don't go to extremes. So, for me, first of all, children are We give them food, we give them clothes, and then they get up. Who are we? We don't have the right to go to their job. Many people think we are right. We raised them, they are my children. So what? If they are your children, is it your choice? That's their choice. Their life is their choice. They should lead it. So you have to give them that liberty to be happy in life. Whether they are happy or not is a point. Whom they marry is not a point.

1:19:26 That's when my daughter married the American. I said like, I only said, do you know him properly? That's what I told my younger daughter also. And now she is married too. Recently she is married. And it's a small marriage. It happened here itself? Yes, here itself. In fact, the eldest daughter is 120-130 people and the youngest is 70 people.

1:20:10 We enjoy the marriage. So you don't like to spend on those occasions? Spend? First of all, it's not a public occasion. It's not public. Okay. I don't know if you've ever done it in the past. But nowadays, people are getting married for money. Not for people. Okay. It's happening less. You can see what is happening in the world. Where is the love? Where are you looking for two hearts? Why so many divorces are happening? Why is everything split? Everything becomes a reason. That is because the bonding is, the understanding is not enough. They are just doing it. In my opinion, that's it. Marriage culture. Marriage is difficult. You are scaring me.

1:21:07 Better to be scared. We must talk about these topics. What do you feel? Why is it happening like that? Is it from the parenting side or because of our kids? Everyone has become independent. Everybody was dependent before. Now they are self-sufficient. Everybody has a job, everybody is working, everybody has a mind, everybody wants freedom. Generally, there is less love. The bonding and love has reduced. Why I'm saying this is, I think the universe needs between us people, we need love. In today's world, we need love. Love is decreasing. To increase love, we need to start loving. We need to see love again. What happens is,

1:22:05 Due to these problems, we get into fights and fight. Fighting is very easy. Saying a word is very easy. Everyone knows. A word will slip. After that, mixing it is a big process. Once you say a word, after saying go, go, if you want to mix those two again, it comes to life. If it doesn't come, it's better if it doesn't slip. If you stop it here, without talking about it, don't get into fights, especially when it's unnecessary. It's unnecessary to fight. Stay quiet and work. Silence is the best violence. Silence is the best revenge. Silence is a sweet revenge. You don't have to do anything. It will settle. That moment is that. For example, many people, I can't quote an example, but

1:23:08 Sometimes, don't say bye properly when you leave. Or else, you'll get into a fight and break up. After that, that person might not be seen. If you don't say proper bye, when that person is seen, there won't be anyone to say sorry. It could be a friend, your relatives, anyone. So, don't rush. Nobody should slip a word. Because, especially now, let us say take a husband and wife. There was a small fight between the husband and wife. Again, to meet them, the panchayats, egos, whether he will speak or I should speak first, should I say this because he said this? Calculations, all these things come. To go beyond all this is a very difficult task. Why is it so difficult? To avoid that difficulty, shut your mouth.

1:24:04 If you shut your mouth, everything will be fine. And majority of the times, the problems are due to those instant reactions. In 10 seconds... I know. In one second, the mouth will slip. After that second, that second won't come back to your hand. If it has to come, it will come on your life. It's not because of us. That is the point. Patience. Yeah, that is one thing I would like to see. And another point I found relatable is, not just family and friends, but when we are on the road and a person comes to a dead end,

1:24:04 If you shut your mouth, everything will be fine. And majority of the times, the problems are due to those instant reactions. In 10 seconds... I know. In one second, the mouth will slip. After that second, that second won't come back to your hand. If it has to come, it will come on your life. It's not because of us. That is the point. Patience. Yeah, that is one thing I would like to see. And another point I found relatable is, not just family and friends, but when we are on the road and a person comes to a dead end,

1:24:42 I have seen a difference in my journey. 10 years back, I used to fight instantly. Once I started working with team, I used to fight. It's not wrong. It's very common. I have seen a difference in that. What will happen to me if I get into an accident? Because of the cruelty, I got beaten up like an animal. He started beating me up intentionally. If there is a small issue, I mean, that presence of mind with patience, with time, it might come. But many people react aggressively as you said. When he drives, many times, if he does something wrong, he will scold him without looking this way, he will look this way. He will hit here. Here, an accident is happening. So, first of all, what do you get out of that?

1:25:29 Finally, you are the loser. See, you are the most important person to yourself. You are thinking of drinking poison and dying. You will die. So, don't drink poison and don't think of dying. We will live. We will live happily. We will live by celebrating. Life is a celebration. Let us celebrate. See, it makes all kinds of people to form the whole world. There should be all kinds of people. Good or bad, day or night, good or bad, truth or lie, man or woman, there are two types. Similarly, there will be good people, there will be bad people, there will be criminals, if there are no criminals, there will be no police. There is a system, right? So, there will be all kinds of people.

1:25:29 Finally, you are the loser. See, you are the most important person to yourself. You are thinking of drinking poison and dying. You will die. So, don't drink poison and don't think of dying. We will live. We will live happily. We will live by celebrating. Life is a celebration. Let us celebrate. See, it makes all kinds of people to form the whole world. There should be all kinds of people. Good or bad, day or night, good or bad, truth or lie, man or woman, there are two types. Similarly, there will be good people, there will be bad people, there will be criminals, if there are no criminals, there will be no police. There is a system, right? So, there will be all kinds of people.

1:26:23 So, it all depends upon... That's why I say, the whole universe is a mixed crowd, all the total mixed crowd. When there are all kinds of people, you go through different experiences which is meant to... which we were meant to go through. So, that is life. So, accept everybody. And everybody has their own faults. Everybody has faults. There is no exception. I may not like you. I don't care if you are right or wrong. But that doesn't mean we have to keep it in mind and issue it, make it contradictory, make it a fight, you suffer, they suffer. No! Leave it. Just let it go. It will pass. And in your journey, are there any weird or funniest fan interactions? Oh, lots of them. All the fan interactions are in the journey. I mean, they are love at first sight. They see it on a screen

1:26:23 So, it all depends upon... That's why I say, the whole universe is a mixed crowd, all the total mixed crowd. When there are all kinds of people, you go through different experiences which is meant to... which we were meant to go through. So, that is life. So, accept everybody. And everybody has their own faults. Everybody has faults. There is no exception. I may not like you. I don't care if you are right or wrong. But that doesn't mean we have to keep it in mind and issue it, make it contradictory, make it a fight, you suffer, they suffer. No! Leave it. Just let it go. It will pass. And in your journey, are there any weird or funniest fan interactions? Oh, lots of them. All the fan interactions are in the journey. I mean, they are love at first sight. They see it on a screen

1:27:20 They have a connection with the fans. There are fans who love the fans. There are fans who are fanatics and fans who are fanatics. There are people who scold you with love, there are people who love you with love, there are people who want to marry you with love. There are all kinds. I don't want to talk. Tell me the last one first. Once in Rajahmundry, my co-brother and my sister were sitting in the hotel room and talking. When I knocked on the door, I opened the door and there was a lady. She was wearing full of jewels and ready like a bride.

1:28:18 I was looking for someone. I saw them and asked who are they? She said who are you? I said who are you? She said send them out to talk to you. I said why send them? Who are you? She said we have to go to the bathroom and talk. I thought she was my sister and called the police. She ran away from home. She said let's wear all the jewels and leave. With you? Once a deputy collector came... When did this happen? I don't even remember. She was a deputy collector. Imagine. This is a different story. She came and settled in the house. We used to have breakfast without knowing who my wife was. I used to watch the news and think of getting married to someone. So I said, mom, come home. So, looking at it that way,

1:29:15 There is a guy named Kakinadu Shiva, a very ardent fan. A crazy fan. I have so much affection for all of them. I made a film called Aaru. He called me and said, what? Today Aaru, tomorrow Eid? If you don't eat, tell me. I will come home and serve food. Don't make such crazy films. So this is pure love. Out of concern, it came out so wildly. Even when Kadanayak released, I asked him how the movie was. How good was the movie? If you go to a wedding, you go for the groom. If you are the groom, who will look at your face? If you go for Rajini, who will look at yours? He was right. That's the Lillian frame of mind. So this is the extent of...

1:30:07 When I was a kid, I used to do Kabaddi. I used to sit like this and sign. There were people in a queue. There was a boy, he was also a boy. He came walking, he came looking at me like he was holding my hand and leg. He said, Oh, Ramakamma, for this? He said. I thought he was a hero. These are the situations that are good. Genuine insult is different. The people who love are all light. E stands out because they are heroes. You were talking about feminism. Some people generally

1:30:47 For example, if you talk about women a lot or if you are fun, they might take it in a different way altogether. And maybe sometimes, I see in the comments below, or it becomes a perception. From your side, I don't know how to say this. You would have understood. Again, the opinion is formed that you are more with women. If you want to talk in that sense, Do you want me to be with you? I am a bit embarrassed to ask. Actually, I am that side since childhood. Even my cousins. It could be my sisters or anyone. I enjoy that. I think it is general opposite sex attraction. It is general. It need not be. See, you don't have to do everything. You don't have to go into lust. That is not at all necessary.

1:31:40 You can enjoy, probably I enjoy their company more because I see a different angle. If I talk to you, I'll see the same angle I see. So, definitely yeah, I tend towards them for sure. And since I love them that much, they also love me equally. There is a reason to ask, Mamata Mohandas, I used to sing this song on a stage. This is for Jaggu. This was my bias somewhere. So sweet of her. She sings this song whenever I ask her to. Sir, in your journey, there is a movie called Jai Bholu Telangana. The situation made the two states, the two states that we are in now, a mess. In that situation, how could you take that decision? I mean, were there any threats or anything like that? How was that experience?

1:31:40 You can enjoy, probably I enjoy their company more because I see a different angle. If I talk to you, I'll see the same angle I see. So, definitely yeah, I tend towards them for sure. And since I love them that much, they also love me equally. There is a reason to ask, Mamata Mohandas, I used to sing this song on a stage. This is for Jaggu. This was my bias somewhere. So sweet of her. She sings this song whenever I ask her to. Sir, in your journey, there is a movie called Jai Bholu Telangana. The situation made the two states, the two states that we are in now, a mess. In that situation, how could you take that decision? I mean, were there any threats or anything like that? How was that experience?

1:32:37 If it was a threat, I wouldn't have come. Andhra people felt bad that my son went and did it there. What's our son's fault? So, that doesn't matter. Luckily, I can't thank everyone. It's in that one thing, caste or Telangana, Jaipur or Telangana, someone stood me up. Not just anyone. They were sad, they scolded me, that's another story. But, So anyway, when I was making films, I was tensed. I won't lie. Because it was peak. I had to shoot in Warangal. In the middle of the day. My father called me. He said, no, you come. It's not right. I'm scared.

1:33:23 I said, nothing will happen. I know what to do and why they do it. Why do they do it? Why do they kill me? I don't see the need to hurt so much. I had my weapon with me. I kept it. But what can a weapon do? If they turn around. But they treated me very well. What is weapon? Gun. I had my gun with me. That is a different story. So I that is okay. That is under no security. Just put a cushion. I can't even get it. In fact, one of the university students and the students and the students. I was lucky. All right. They could have reacted. All right. And we do. You're not into this.

1:34:16 We have talked about the cast, don't you feel it weird when your friends or colleagues call you Chowdhury? Chowdhury is a cast. Chowdhury is a cast but I don't have a name for myself. My mother's name is Jagapathy Rao. I couldn't call her because of my grandfather's name. I called her Chowdhury because it was easy. But she died in Friends. I don't feel that she is a cast. I have seen it many times. I don't feel bad about Chowdhury. Answer? If we talk about ageing, I'm not asking about your age. I'm 64. So generally, I'm saying this as I've heard it from many people, men generally feel alone. They get multiple thoughts, they feel that they're done for life, they wait for death, we hear different thought processes like that. And the age range is between 58 and 60. They feel like they're done.

1:35:18 and they feel they are lost. I meet my friends' parents, or my parents in my house, generally these discussions happen. So what if I ask you, at your age, what motivates you? What do you think, this is the right thing I need to do, how do you think about it? Movies. Okay. The only thing that gets me going is movies. The opportunities you are talking about. Cinema is energy. Sorry? You are talking about opportunities, right? The opportunity to do something in cinema, That's an energy. It's like the power of CM or PM. All the time it gives you so much hype because like I told you it's a fairyland, a magic world. When you're in fairyland, what is your problem? How do you get old? I'm not the only one. Everybody is looking young nowadays. Who looks 65-66 today? Everyone is looking good.

1:36:17 Everyone is alive with energy. But, since this is a topic, I always say, last 10 years of life is the most important. Not all this. Those 10 years, you should live happily. Because, only in those 10 years, you get older. If someone becomes a film director, and if I don't make films, who will I make films for? That's a different story. Without a film or a company, if I had kids, I wouldn't have had them. But if I had them, they would have come and died. When you don't have that time, you have to be strong enough to stand on your own physically and mentally. That is what my aim is. I don't know if you've heard about the eagle.

1:37:13 In this aging process, eagles have a beautiful habit, which is shown by nature. When the eagle gets old, it goes off to some impossible mountain, to the top of the mountain, and then, it gets hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, and in that pain, all the claws of the eagle are twisted, it bites, it bites the nose, it leaves all the feathers, Everything is fresh and coming back as a youth. That is, now the chance for heroes is for artists. So that is what is happening now. Comparatively speaking. Sir, recently your Jayam Unashayam O Show. I was waiting for the teasers to come. I was thinking if I could learn something new, or a different format. Or else, I could be a little jealous with the guests. Of course, you are sitting with your friends or colleagues.

1:38:11 How did you feel about this new format? Whatever experiments you have done, you will be doing it with a calculative or thought process there. But how was the experience of this type of format talk show? I loved it. I loved it because It happened in my style. I liked it. Your personal stuff is coming out a lot. What? Your personal stuff is coming out a lot. They came to you too. Especially the first episode, Nagarjuna's. Even when I watched that episode, it was a direct one-on-one.

1:38:48 It was fun. When I told this to everyone, you mess with me, I'll mess with you. We both play together. That's the fun part of it. Last time when we met, you said in the discussion, don't ask for an artist. I'll tell you Vamsi, even celebrities are humans. Celebrity is a rule that you shouldn't ask. I'm asking you a question. Why did you feel that way? See, why not? Especially, we are friends. And I don't have anything against that person. Nor, there's no negative thing here. It is just a fun thing. It is a thing which will connect to the people. They will talk to each other like this. Because,

1:38:48 It was fun. When I told this to everyone, you mess with me, I'll mess with you. We both play together. That's the fun part of it. Last time when we met, you said in the discussion, don't ask for an artist. I'll tell you Vamsi, even celebrities are humans. Celebrity is a rule that you shouldn't ask. I'm asking you a question. Why did you feel that way? See, why not? Especially, we are friends. And I don't have anything against that person. Nor, there's no negative thing here. It is just a fun thing. It is a thing which will connect to the people. They will talk to each other like this. Because,

1:39:44 We meet in parties, we have so much fun. We make each other cry. When we are doing that in private, if we show it to the public, they will wonder how fun we are, how we talk. That is fun. Fun element, according to me. See, no one has bad intentions anywhere. So this is a thing like, I'm saying we are common people. Celebrities are also common people. So this, Celebrity means, you can have respect, you can have love, you can have insults, but you shouldn't be afraid. There shouldn't be rules that you shouldn't ask. You can ask, but it depends on the situation. If you ask them where to put it, you can try to insult them. That's a different way. You can't try to insult anyone anywhere. I was only having fun.

1:40:39 I said that because I was worried that you would expose your wife and kids. See, who watches this? Which show does this show? Why is it a big success? That is the reason it is a success. When I said Ramya, she said, she hit me with a bat. But I also enjoyed it. People also enjoyed it. They talk about that one point. They don't talk about the rest of the interview. That's the highlight, right? Love is not a success. I enjoyed that way because I feel they are my people. I am talking to my people, my friends. He is not a celebrity, she is not a celebrity, I am not a celebrity. We are nobodies. We are not somebody, we are nobody. We are also nobody. That is the point.

1:40:39 I said that because I was worried that you would expose your wife and kids. See, who watches this? Which show does this show? Why is it a big success? That is the reason it is a success.

He is not a celebrity, she is not a celebrity, I am not a celebrity. We are nobodies. We are not somebody, we are nobody. We are also nobody. That is the point.

1:41:31 And recently I saw on your Instagram, a big poster. You look very different in that. Is it a villain role or what is that? That I won't tell. You know, see naturally, a professional, it's supposed to be, I mean, they are hiding it. Let it be like that. You can see what you can see. But one thing I can say is, I didn't release it in the same getup I wanted. But I made a funny video again. I left the set and went to a tea shop. On the road to another tea shop. It didn't come out. It won't come out either. I think I told you about this, Mahesh brother. You said a video was shot. We shot it but didn't release it.

1:42:24 We went to the tea shop and the assistant director was sitting next to me. I was quiet because I would get caught if I opened my mouth. I went to the bench and sat there like a fool. He gave me tea, I drank it and he gave me money. I looked at him and thought that he would remember me. I didn't care about anyone. I was happy but I left the place again sadly. A beautiful video, it will come after the release of the film. So these are nice experiences in films. Did you shoot it all? It's my work. I think so. Maybe 1 or 2 days. You never know. Patchwork. Got it. And when it came to your voice, I was shocked when I got to know that. In the beginning, you didn't accept your voice. You were rejected for your voice. But now your voice is one of the key element in your acting. How do you feel about it?

1:42:24 We went to the tea shop and the assistant director was sitting next to me. I was quiet because I would get caught if I opened my mouth. I went to the bench and sat there like a fool.

Got it. And when it came to your voice, I was shocked when I got to know that. In the beginning, you didn't accept your voice. You were rejected for your voice. But now your voice is one of the key element in your acting. How do you feel about it?

1:43:14 I feel great about it. I have my weaknesses. I'm not good with dance. I'm not good with fights. My voice is good. I didn't do anything. My voice is by default good. So, the advantage I had with this was that, if I called an operator, they would say, it's Jagabath Babu. I got a lot of recognition for my voice. For my rejected voice. Because it was rejected. At that time, Balasubramaniam sir, who gave you money, right? He told me a lot of things. The mistake that happened in the first film was, my modulation was wrong. Back then? Back then, first film. When I heard the voice for the first time, it was too matured for my age.

1:43:59 And it was perfect. I told her. But she said it was a rule. So, modulation was wrong. I wasn't corrected. I didn't know the correction myself. So, she slapped me there. And when the film flopped, we would look for some reason. So, this was one of the reasons. So this discussion happened many times and was discussed in different movies. Again hats off to RGV. With Gayam. He said I want only your voice. It's the best voice. Till then you were not V-voice. I think I said it before but I don't know. Somewhere, I don't know why, the topic came to Gayam. Okay, okay. He was insistent on Gayam. Gayam happened also

1:43:59 And it was perfect. I told her. But she said it was a rule. So, modulation was wrong. I wasn't corrected. I didn't know the correction myself. So, she slapped me there. And when the film flopped, we would look for some reason. So, this was one of the reasons. So this discussion happened many times and was discussed in different movies. Again hats off to RGV. With Gayam. He said I want only your voice. It's the best voice. Till then you were not V-voice. I think I said it before but I don't know. Somewhere, I don't know why, the topic came to Gayam. Okay, okay. He was insistent on Gayam. Gayam happened also

1:44:45 In Peddarekkam, in his passing by, this is the connection, universe connection. He would go somewhere on work, there would be a gap and he would play Peddarekkam in the theatre, he would just watch it for 10 minutes. He would watch that and put it in the song. That is not my voice. He would watch that and say, I want your voice. People don't understand your voice. He was a master in sound, a master in everything. So he started it again. So, this topic came up with Amitabh Bachchan. This was the only topic that came up with him. I told him, Sir, you are a great man. You are very good. You are excellent in everything. Hats off to you. But, yours and mine is a similar journey. Your face was rejected. My face was rejected. Your voice was rejected. My voice was rejected. After that, you were in the flops. I was in the flops. After that, you were successful. I was successful.

1:45:45 After that, you both totally got bankrupted and I also totally got bankrupted. Yes sir. You came back with KBC and I came back with Legend. That is life. That is the way life should be. He said that when you see everything, you get irritated. So beautiful conversation about voice. And what do you do now to maintain your voice? No exercise or something? Nothing. I didn't do anything. I'm saying that. That's my luck. What else do you want? In the movie, Arvind Samaytha, your modulation, voice texture, the way you spoke in that, that actually spoiled your vocal chords. I read an article about it. Is it true? Yeah. What happened, sir? Because of the gruffness of my voice, continuously, for hours and days together, I was doing it.

1:45:45 After that, you both totally got bankrupted and I also totally got bankrupted. Yes sir. You came back with KBC and I came back with Legend. That is life. That is the way life should be. He said that when you see everything, you get irritated. So beautiful conversation about voice. And what do you do now to maintain your voice? No exercise or something? Nothing. I didn't do anything.

I read an article about it. Is it true? Yeah. What happened, sir? Because of the gruffness of my voice, continuously, for hours and days together, I was doing it.

1:46:46 Because of that gruffness, the vocal cords... I mean, the voice became gruff. It became gruff and I started bleeding. Because I wanted a different, completely shocking voice. That happened in that attempt. Can you show a pinch of it? I mean, can you say a dialogue? I remember very well, you know, how it would be if a tiger and a fox fight. If you can. If you want to come even further, it's like... If you want to continue that for hours, naturally it will be a bit boring. But I enjoyed that movie. I was on a crazy speed. And the flow of the movie was also amazing. The speed, the way they took it.

1:47:44 I forgot the name of the encouragement from the camera. He was getting excited when I got the frame. So that was giving me more oxygen. So it got even more rich. The climax scene also changed a lot. We did the fight in the original. The same garbage fight. 40 people coming, first one coming, then two coming. They removed all this garbage. The shooting got a break with Srinu. I asked him why he was boring me with the climax. He said, you should change it. Creative directors should change. They were getting bored. They sat down and discussed. The shooting got stopped for some reason.

1:48:43 After 2 days, I changed the climax and shot it in a different way. Fantastic climax. You guys are very realistic. In this movie or in Rangasthalam, your characters are very realistic. You show your throat and talk to the camera. In Rangasthalam, the way you walk also. The way you look at the side. It's like a festival scene. When you are walking, everyone is standing next to you. I still remember that movie. Fantastic characters. I would say Rangasthalam is a bigger character for me than Arvind Samyam. I can believe it, if not Sarpan Surya, I would have said Uru Pedda. It's new to me. This is solid. In all the 70-80 films, I can remember only 5 or 6. In Aatil, these two. To produce such characters, do you also behave the same way at

1:48:43 After 2 days, I changed the climax and shot it in a different way. Fantastic climax. You guys are very realistic. In this movie or in Rangasthalam, your characters are very realistic.

It's new to me. This is solid. In all the 70-80 films, I can remember only 5 or 6. In Aatil, these two. To produce such characters, do you also behave the same way at

1:49:40 In your non-shooting zone? I never doubted it. How do you continue? I mean, the schedule changes, right? How do you maintain the same flow? I'm not a method actor. I'm an ordinary actor. It all depends on the vibes. The director... The language of vibes is my priority. I don't listen to what he says. I look at it in my dreams. I don't care if he reveals it in his dreams. Good directors reveal it in their dreams. They don't care. That's how I got it. I get the character automatically. Maybe half an hour before I go into that mood. Not before that. When I'm at home, I'm a regular husband and a regular father. Why are you scared of shouting like this? I don't have any shouting skills. I don't shout anywhere. How are you at home? Do you stay silent or do you have a jovial fun?

1:50:42 I don't do comedy, but I'm cool. I'm generally very cool with the children at home. I don't talk much. Not that I'm not social or anything, but when there's fun, I enjoy the fun with them. When I'm minding my own business, I do my own business. So generally, in any industry, whether it's business, politics or movie industry, Success is good in the days of success, but after failure comes a reality check. For example, if we talk about your industry, when you are in the flops, how does the industry look to you, and how does the industry look at you? If we can just share your view on it. See, success is success. Treatment definitely changes. And depending upon the artist or technician. It depends on his mentality.

1:51:42 He will take it, he will do whatever he wants, if he doesn't have fear, he will use it as he wants. See, it is a rotation of crores and crores of rupees within a span of months. Lives change. So, for them, for the producers or anyone else, their career is important, their money is important. This person is not important. That's it. It will be ruthless at that point of time. It will be, I would say it is a lesson. We get hurt once or twice in a stage, but after 4-5 times I understood, this is the way it will be because when you don't have a market, you don't have a value here. And it is purely on value based. When you don't have value and you don't have a market, we don't have that work. It is clear, it is a pure business proposal.

1:52:37 This is not a relationship. This is purely a money relationship. So it will be there. There are producers who have gone crazy. They will come in front of you and say, who is this? Who is that? There are people who have gone to the right. There are many types. A number of people are there. But all those are experiences I would say. So I would definitely not blame the people for that. If it was them, I won't hold it. If it was against them, I'll take it. Last week, when I was talking to Arjun sir in the podcast, we spoke about his journey again. There were some ups and downs in that. And he was also into downstage and then revamping from there. Everybody. Everyone will see. There were a lot of coincidences, right? I asked him about money. What is money according to you? And he gave his own opinion.

1:52:37 This is not a relationship. This is purely a money relationship. So it will be there. There are producers who have gone crazy. They will come in front of you and say, who is this?

Everybody. Everyone will see. There were a lot of coincidences, right? I asked him about money. What is money according to you? And he gave his own opinion.

1:53:32 Many people related to this in the comments. Generally, when I get mails, there are some intellectual points, right? I get mails regularly. If I ask the same question to you, because of all this, many people... What did he say? Money and success, these two languages in society, he spoke about it. And he also shared his own opinion. I talked about how the producers reacted to him or how the real friends reacted. And of course, it is related to many people. In the same way, if I ask you the same question, I understood that many people don't know how much money they have or don't know how to spend it after getting money. Many people say that they will tell you these reasons. And many people relate to it. So, if I ask you the same question, what is your opinion on it? In my opinion, first of all, as I always say, zero is not enough. One is zero, zero, zero, zero, zero. And then zeroes.

1:53:32 Many people related to this in the comments. Generally, when I get mails, there are some intellectual points, right? I get mails regularly. If I ask the same question to you, because of all this, many people... What did he say? Money and success, these two languages in society, he spoke about it. And he also shared his own opinion.

In my opinion, first of all, as I always say, zero is not enough. One is zero, zero, zero, zero, zero. And then zeroes.

1:54:30 This one will not be there forever. Only the coins will remain. How many coins do you need? You need money, correct. If you want value, you need money, fame, correct. But there is a limit to that. See, there is a difference between a rich man and a poor man. A rich man can have many crores. But is he satisfied? Is he happy? What is the level of satisfaction he is getting? Is he able to spend his money? Or is he just sitting idle? What did he earn? Why is he running? Many people have wealth. They feel that they have a lot of wealth, but they don't want to spend a single rupee. They lose their friends and family for that. They feel that they want that wealth. That's the disease I mentioned earlier.

1:55:24 That's the disease. So, being a rich person is better. Being rich, being satisfied with the wealth you have, and living a rich life. That combination is very difficult. Many people don't know how to spend. Many people don't know how to enjoy. He doesn't know how to spend it. He keeps saying, I have 100 acres there, I have 100 acres here. They will be there, you will go. You feel about that, you think about eating too. If you go on a small holiday, you think, is it necessary? You will run out of money. What will be done? You will be done. You will be worried that you will run out of money. You will be the first. So, there is a limit for that too. Otherwise, it will become a disease.

1:57:10 I think, according to me, he is satisfied with his intelligence. He is satisfied with what he has. I am not talking about someone who doesn't have intelligence. He is satisfied with what he has and he is intelligent. And while talking like this, generally, someone was telling me, people run away from pain and they keep running for pleasure. Maybe, I don't know how to play in between or how to bear both equally. I am talking about this somewhere. So I thought, maybe in your journey, the ups and downs you have seen or the experiences you have seen, if you need to talk about that to the youngster who is watching this podcast, if he needs to learn something from that topic, what will be your take? Pain is relative. It has a threshold.

1:58:08 Some people take life easy. It is easy for them. It is very simple for them. It can be... See, that's why I say there is no pain, there is no problem. Pain is also an experience. And everybody has to go through that experience of pain. Whichever pain hurts someone is relative. How much it hurts is relative. But I feel when it is inevitable, face it. and laugh it off and that too will pass. Today's tragedy is tomorrow's comedy.

1:58:48 Today, we feel like something happened. The next year, we laugh about it. Why did we feel so much? Nothing happened. Or, what happened. What happened was a tragedy. At that moment. If you take that as a comedy, if you take it lightly, it's simple. If it happens later, we take it lightly. So, tragedy means I'm talking about normal tragedies, not deaths. And with your experience or with... What do you say to people who follow you?

1:58:48 Today, we feel like something happened. The next year, we laugh about it. Why did we feel so much? Nothing happened. Or, what happened. What happened was a tragedy. At that moment.

And with your experience or with... What do you say to people who follow you?

1:59:34 Cricket. Generally, it's the most popular game. I don't know what intellectuals mean. First of all, I should be an intellectual to judge an intellectual. So, I don't know about that. But the fun is, for example, it happens in every house. When I was sitting in the bowling matches, everyone, who is supposed to be smart, rich, with a status, they say, if you move from here, you will get wicket, you cannot move. He will freeze there. In fact, whoever is involved, in fact, whoever is there, in some corner of the world, 11-14 people are playing the game.

2:00:19 There are billions of people to judge that game. The equations change a lot depending on the result. If you believe that he will get out only if he gets up, there is no other foolishness. So I find it really hilarious. There is one businessman from the US. He travels 24 hours from US to his house. Toilet should not be hygienic, the finished toilet should be opened here. They are reaching home and going to the toilet on hygiene question. They are holding whatever. Nature has designed the body. When you have to let something go, it has to go out.

2:01:14 When that happens, your body is getting contaminated. Forget about the hygiene there. Without thinking about it, a big businessman has joined the hospital. So, these people, I think they are dumb. Hygiene is one thing, but how can you hold it? That is my point. And while you were talking about age, many people are coping up well and looking younger than what their age is actually. And fitness, the way you eat, what you eat is the most important factor for that. So after an age, fitness is very important, as many people say. Fitness is always important. It's important from the beginning. So what if I ask you, what is your take on fitness? There is a good saying, I don't know if it's correct to say in yoga. If food is medicine, then food is health. If food is poison, then food is illness.

2:01:14 When that happens, your body is getting contaminated. Forget about the hygiene there. Without thinking about it, a big businessman has joined the hospital.

If food is poison, then food is illness.

2:02:16 So, what we eat is one thing. That's important. That is what comes out. Even if we eat good food, people are mixing it up. So, even good food is bad. The fast food we eat, the cokes we drink, the things we do, they all worsen. So, you have to be conscious of what you're doing. Eating. Second, what I'm saying is You are spoiling the taste of the food you eat for half an hour, hour and a quarter. So, if you can sacrifice that, this whole thing is not good. Similarly, if you don't punish the body, it will punish you. The body needs exercise. We have to take care of the body. If you fall on your stomach, the one who is not punished will bend his waist like this and put it on his waist.

2:03:16 He is in the same section, he will take care of the work. When we are given so much, we should give a lot, right? We should give a lot, right? If you give that, lifelong you will be happy. A peaceful life for the last 10 years. I will hold on to my last 10 years. And about this podcast, I got the information that the birthday is coming, right? And when I spoke to you and all, I thought, okay, let's do something fast, let's do it like a party, let's have some fun, I thought actually. I'm giving you an example, not just cake. I'm asking you what kind of celebrations he doesn't like. Why is he suddenly so party cultured? Why did you say no to his birthday? I thought I'll ask you only. Any specific reason, sir? Actually, I have a big doubt as to why I was born. I was born, I grew up, I made so many movies. I did so much, it's okay. What is it?

2:03:16 He is in the same section, he will take care of the work. When we are given so much, we should give a lot, right? We should give a lot, right? If you give that, lifelong you will be happy.

2:04:21 What is the purpose of me being first of all born? Why do I have to be born? Why do I have to suffer? Why do I have to enjoy? Why do I have to drink? Why do I have to do all this? Ignorance is bliss. It's best if you don't have anything. It's better if you don't have a birth. This is not a question I'm asking now. This is a question I've been asking since the beginning. This is not a new question, this is not a question of passion, I am not in any pain, I am fine, I am clean. But it is a question I have. And I don't understand what Puri Jagan said, what I loved about what he said, what I believe is, what is God's agenda? After creating so many, so many, 86 lakhs of animals, what is he getting out of it? As if he doesn't know what we are going to do. If he doesn't know, he is not God.

2:05:13 He knows everything we are doing. So what is the fun he is having out of the whole thing? People say different things about it. They say it's a past life, it's a future life, whatever. I don't know about all that. If I think about this life, I'll die and then I'll be born in a past life. Then there will be another life. I don't know what that life is. I'm scared. Why all this? It's better if it's not there. It's not out of anything. I'm not saying this out of sadness. It's a question I have. That's all. It's a question I don't have an answer. So, I don't need to celebrate it. They forced you to do this. You agreed. It's okay. Let's do it. Which one? It's your birthday. I'm doing the podcast. I'm doing this. So, I believe in time. I'm not sitting idle because I believe in time. I'm doing what I have to. Because

2:06:15 I'm not doing what I have to because I'm doing what I'm doing. It is because I'm destined to do whatever I'm doing. So, every time I'm writing, I'm following that pattern. There are a lot of people who don't do anything in life, but still happy. Like, I'll live on my father's property. I'll sleep on the bed and happily work 24 hours. They're sick. They don't do anything. They're just lying there. So, I'm not just sitting idle because of that. So somebody asked me, I also have to do something. So I'm meant to do this.

2:07:17 Whatever I'm doing, I'm meant to do this. So I'm doing it. It's happening mechanically. That's my feeling. Sir, after all this, after seeing everything, or with your experience, what do you fear right now? If this becomes a myth or something, what would you fear? I don't fear about living. I don't fear about dying. I fear what will happen after I die. Genuine fear. This is my genuine fear. I'm very scared. What happens after death is something unknown. So, I am claustrophobic for example. So, the thought of being in a grave is scary. It could be stupid, I don't know. But that is a fear because of claustrophobia or it could be an unknown factor. So, I get those dreams too. You say you are afraid of ghosts too. I am afraid of ghosts.

2:08:26 It's gone now. This too has gone since 2-3 years. It was there before. Since childhood, I was obsessed with the ghost fights. So, yeah, that is... That's okay. That's more fun factor now. But this is my only fear. So, two reasons for me. One thing is, I always tell or think, I make it a point, I said, if I go, it has to be electrocuted. I don't want a process. Okay. Don't want these traditions. Finish it off. Finish it in two minutes. For two reasons. One, probably I'm afraid of it. Okay. About after death. Second, I don't want people to suffer. Right. Even if it exists, it's suffering. If it goes away, it's a job. So make it quick. This is what I believe in. Right. And this is what I mean. Got it. And generally sir, again in your profession,

2:09:35 Many people don't have to work alone. Either with partners or with team or with well-wishers or who are working around you. They decide how they are with you and how you are with them. So even in your industry, in your journey as well, you don't need to be alone to be in a glamorous field. Naturally, from the moment you get ready, what you should do, how you should look and to take care of everything from on the floor production, definitely there are team around you. So, you get very few opportunities to talk. If at all you need to talk about your personal staff or personal team? There should be all kinds of people in this world. If everyone is rich, everyone will be in palaces. They will be in palaces, but there will be no servants. Servants are the ones who serve. In my opinion, they are the servants. We don't know how important that servant is in our life. That value.

2:10:37 Luck or bad luck or good luck, I don't know, but they are there to serve us night and day without any expectation, extra expectations. Now, if we want to do something, we can do it. They can't do it. Whatever they want to do, we have to think about it. Next to them, they are giving salary. We are lucky to give them. We should never forget that they are serving us. Because they are the most important people other than family. Because they are immediate family. In fact, they are family. Round of Talent is their family. I have spoken to almost 4 people in your team. Each one of them has been with you for 20-25 years. So, to have that kind of a journey with a person who is your boss or who is your employer,

2:11:30 Money is not a matter of one person. It needs a lot of bonding and affection. Definitely money. They can get money from anywhere. What I give, others can give. And when they speak about you, when they ask about you, the way they are speaking also, that speaks a lot. Okay, he's not just working. He's making sure that everyone around us, our team is also in a good mood or not, and when they are actually checking it, it's good. Whether you have makeup or not, whoever is dressing up you, They don't need to see all this, but they are feeling, you are my family. They will do all this even if they think it's theirs. Like I said earlier, you are my father's family, my family and they are family. They are also 100% family because literally, for example, without Mahesh, I am not here. I am giving one example. Because he takes care of everything, top to bottom.

Because he takes care of everything, top to bottom.

2:12:24 And he is getting nothing more out of it. He will get much more gratitude. Maybe he will get more money, but he will get it elsewhere also. If I get Mahesh, another person will come and take him. There are so many people, they will take him. But he is there for me. That's why it's called Sevakala. I feel that I should remind them more than everyone else. Srinath is the manager, he is my landlord. He did it without paying me salary when I was in trouble. Ravi, the makeup man, Chinna, they are all 25-30 years old. They all waited for me even when I was not shooting. Subba Rao, the driver, he worked for us for a long time. I should say that they all saved me rather than working for the family.

2:13:18 He taught driving to all the kids. He has been cooking for 30 years in our house. I never had any problem with anyone. Chiru joined 6 years ago. He also works very sincerely. If all of them are here for 20-25 years, it is out of gratitude and out of love. It is not because of money. Sir, generally there is a contradictory opinion. Some people believe it very well. We believe a lot. But people won't accept it. Maybe there is some kind of a controversial opinion. Or you might be thinking in a different way altogether. But people don't understand it. Do you have such opinions personally? In this particular episode or in my life, most of the people won't agree with me. I am saying this because I was born that way.

2:14:17 Number one. Number two, time. Time is again connected with astrology, palmistry, etc. I feel astrology and palmistry are agents. Like land agents, this is also an agent. But, right or wrong agent is important. So, there are lines here. There is a reason for the lines. We are holding hands, so lines should form. You and I should form one line. So these things are written as destiny. Most of the people won't agree because one thing is they might differ with me. The second thing is ego problem because they want to say that I am doing it.

2:15:09 I like everything because they are my children. I like them because they are my wife. I like Vijayawada because I was born here. So, you were born with it, you were born in this village, so finally you, you, you, you will be the one. For that, all these things come, so they can't let go of me. They can't accept this without letting go. My feeling. So, this is definitely a contradiction for them and me. But sir, there are many different perspectives on many topics, but the way you think about few things, They will make you think, stop, don't run, you are not doing it right, think about it. They will make you think about every topic. I feel so. Thank you very much for your time and the different experiences. I feel very good. Thank you very much for giving this opportunity. It means a lot. It's an opportunity for me too. Thank you, it means a lot sir. Thank you. Thank you very much. No, it is an opportunity both of us were looking forward for. Yeah, yeah. But, this time has come now. Very true.
