I think, it's the first time Mamitha is
acting as a main character in a whole movie, -Isn't Premalu the first?
-Yes, it is. What's your experience, tell me. I was not sure initially, I had no idea
what film will I do after 'Super Sharanya.' Immediately after that Gireeshettan
told me that there is such film coming. Hearing that, I got very happy. And I waited for that for vary many days. I also made Gireeshettan
wait for me for a long time. Better let's not talk about it. There was a gap for few days. So, I thought I'll not be
able to do this character. I thought I'll not be able to do the film.
Then, Gireeshettan called me once, and said it's still on and we're doing it. I got very happy when he
said it is set in Hyderabad. Then, I throughout I... Aahh, then there is nothing. I was very comfortable
since it was with Gireeshettan. Not only that, I knew everyone. So, I could do it very comfortably. It was superb. You're shifting from
Justine to Vishnu for the first time, Why did you bring such a change? Starting from 'Guppy' we all have been noticing him. So, I had messaged him after watching 'Guppy.' Saying that the music is good. I've got a connection with Vishnu. When I was in college,
I had acted in an awful music video. Vishnu had come to play flutes in that. That's very long ago in Trivandrum. I should tell him when I meet him next. -Let's ask Sangeethettan.
-Sangeethetta, you got established as an editor, right? Oh! Look how decently he is sitting! You're doing a full-length
role for the first time. As hero's companion in a full-length role. How's that experience? -Were you scared, Sangeethetta?
-Of course, I was scared. Why are you telling me?
Tell everyone. I was very scared! Haha! I was addressing you,
coz you asked the question. Yes, I was scared. Didn't you learn to drive so well? Yes! I did! The only thing Gireeshettan asked me was, to learn driving. I didn't know how to drive. Did you learn when I asked you to? While coming here today,
I hit two men (Joking). No... What was it?
Yeah... I am very comfortable with Gireeshettan, coz since 'Thanner Mathan Days' film, we used to be in touch on phone etc. I was a spot editor then,
I had no acting business. -We used to call each other always.
-He wanted to act. May be... No, back then I had no... He used to do mimicry. I tried doing... He did mimicry. When you saw that you
understood he has no future in it. No, doesn't he imitate you, Gireeshetta? He imitates Gireeshettan really well. Who? We don't need any of that right now! Please don't spoil this program. I only felt confident because of
Gireeshettan when I did 'Sharanya.' Because I was not so confident to do comedy. When you are working with Gireeshettan,
he'll take care of everything. It was after that I became Amal Davis,
that's the name of my character, He called me for that. Even when I went there, I had no idea
about the character. I was so scared. I'll follow what he asks me to, at times when I do my own improvisations, He'll be like, 'No, no', Because of that, half of my tension was gone. but still, since I'm not so talented, I was tensed. We can't escape that. Oh! you want us to say
that you are talented? Yeah, say it out loud,
that I am talented. No, It was a huge experience
for me as well like anyone else. Since the first film of Gireeshettan... Since his first film to all his films, I had a part in everything.
That's a huge... That's a nice experience. -To be honest...
-But it was not so nice for me. This is why I didn't utter a word so far. Jokes apart, If I call you for all my works,
what does it mean? Yeah, coz you like my work
and want to work with me. Yes. Tell us your experience, Shyametta. Like I said, I also have
connection with you, bro. When we used to do 'Ponmutta' our initial videos didn't do well. And after doing many types of contents we were learning how to do things. Coz,
'Karikku' was a huge success back then. So, we were trying what
type of comedy would work. Because, back then whatever you do,
people abuse you in the comment section saying that we are merely
copying 'Karikku' and all. That's when we watched 'Thanneer Mathan
Days' from Ernakulam Sreedhar Theater. After that me and my friends Liju and Jijo, we discussed about that film for an hour. The very casual pattern of that film, I mean the casual comedy. We can also do comedy like this, instead of writing and staging it. It was after that I wrote an episode called
'Achayathiyum Chankum.' -So, you wrote that?!
-Yes. When I wrote that,
the pattern that I had mind was from their films. The casual way of talking. That's the connection I was talking about.
That's our first hit episode. I also have a connection with Naslen. We worked in 'Pathrose' for the first time. They both were in my first film. When I was doing the audition,
he also there along with us -He got a kick from me.
-Yeah, in 'Pathrose.' And I kicked him back in '18+' -I had worked with Mamitha in an ad film
-Yeah, an ad film. He has connection with
every single one here. I also have a story to share. We have a connection, too. Sameer, don't you have to say anything? -Since he was not with us...
-I was not with them. My chemistry was with Rajan Ganesh. Yeah, come to the matter. -Wasn't you first shot with me? Say that.
-Yeah, first shot was with you. -Aiyoo... That is...
-Say that, say that. My first shot in this film -was with you.
-Oh, really? -No.
-No, no. -That was not here. At home.
-Oh, yeah it was there. -She is just bluffing.
-Oh, sorry, sorry. When I came here first, I thought, before the shoot,
Gireeshettan will say something, make us do a rehearsal
or something like that. But when reached Mamitha was
there and the entire set was ready. and asked me to start.
What do I do? That's the first thing
we captured in the office. That's because it was the first day... and blabbered whatever came to my mouth. So, Gireeshettan told me,
'You may improvise', but... Yeah, because
improvisations are mostly good, But if and when... that becomes too much, that'll be, that has happened to us. Naslen has a different hair style now? -Yeah, yeah.
-Why? Don't he have to cut his hair?! The film is over!
So he has to cut his hair. Also in this heat and dandruff. In 'Premalu' and even before that, I had not tried such a hair style.
That was Ronex ettan's contribution. Ronex ettan has suggested that look. -Isn't he?
-Yeah, Ronex... ...on Gireeshettan's command. -No.
-No? It's a different story, do you remember? What story? You had long hair back then. It wasn’t so good. I wanted you to cut your hair. Yeah. But Ronex said don't cut. Your character was not
with long hair in my mind. Ronex said it will look good on you. Then I thought let it be. -It was interesting unlike other movies.
-Yeah, it was good. Is this for any new projects? No, this is just my style. Since I like it, I cut it like this. Didn't we have many
train scenes in this film? -How did you do that?
-Why do you mention that now? Someone trying for along time. I heard something had happened during that. No, no. I didn’t mean that way. I heard something funny had happened. There's someone to tell us about that. Let's call him.
Richard etta... [Dialogue from a movies scene]
Oh, yes. I'm coming. Is this too much? Come, sit. Why did you say cut, sir?
Was it too normal? I heard something funny
happened while shooting in Pollachi. I heard you've some story to share. There was some small comedies. One was about our account section guys. Shabareesh and Joel
from our account section. Our shooting was going on
in Pollachi Railway Station. We had taken a train with 5 bogies. The shooting was going on in that. I was sitting downstairs around 01:30 AM, Shabari and Joel from account
section came to me and said, They asked should we stay here?
And I said you may go to your room. Then they said no,
what if anything comes up. Then they told me is the shooting happening
in all five bogies? I said no. They asked me if they can sit in
one of the bogies and I said yes. And they left. They had asked me if it's
the train above and I said yes. After a while when I saw my phone,
they're calling me. I thought why're they calling me?
Do they need any money? When I checked it around 02:45. I asked them, what is it? In the night? At night 02:45? Yeah, early morning. Our shoot was full time. It was day and night long. After a while they told
me the train is moving fast. Then I said... I said... Train is fast coz the shoot is going on. It must be coz of that. And they said it's unusually fast. Then I said we don't have
permission to go faster. We only have to move 2KMs up and down. Then I said, do one thing,
there're our people on the train. So, go and ask them. They said okay. So, Joel went around and asked and they said it's going to Coimbatore. I got shocked. I said we only have permission for 2 KMs
and how can we go to Coimbatore? There's another manager
called, Ebi from our team. I called Ebi. -I asked Ebi...
-Was Ebi also on the train? No, no, no. I asked Ebi, we have permission till here
and how can we go to Coimbatore? He asked who's going to Coimbatore?
Then I asked where are you? He said I'm at the train. Then I asked where is the train? Train is in the platform itself. That's when... Then Ebi asked, what's the problem
and I said nothing. I called Joel. I asked, Joel, what's the situation? He said by 3-3:30 they
will reach Coimbatore. So, let's the program go on. -I have some work.
-You just came to tell us this? I need to go now. Alright? Okay then. Okay.
[Dialogue from a film] I just got to know that
you suggested my name. Chetta, you did the tailor cut, right? -Our DOP did the trailer cut himself.
-Just a moment. -What?
-Now say. Yes, yes. I did that. Tell us about that. Trailer cut was nice. It was easy
for me as I did the camera works. How's the shoot in total, with all of us? -Hyderabad scenes and all.
-It was nice, nice. It was good. Kiran will tell. -He didn't come there at all.
-I was not there. -Kiran say something.
-Why didn't you come, Kiran etta? Why didn't you come? No, nothing special. I had nothing to do there. Script was complete. So, Gireesgettan... -Did he ask you not to come?
-He asked not to come. I had messaged you on Instagram. After watching 'Anurag Engineering Works.' This guy is... I had messaged him after
watching 'Anurag Engineering Works.' -Yeah, yeah.
-Then we met at Prem Naseer short film fest. Yeah we met there. [Trolling]
Yes, yes, yes. By the way, I heard something about Ajmal that you don't like banana, what was that? Who told you that?
Is it Gireesh? I was told once. I have not had banana. Till now. -Not at all?
-Not at all? I don't like it.
Me and my brother. He never had a banana knowingly. My brother was made to study
by showing bananas. Not Orange or any other fruit,
it's just banana. If banana is rubbed on the phone,
he won't touch it for few days. Oh, god. But I do eat banana fry. I don't eat banana fry, too. Oh, yeah. There's some comedy here. Check my phone I have saved all. Is it about me calling? -Tell that.
-You tell that. Meaning, our shooting was over, everything was done at Hyderabad
and we all came back. To invite for Sangeethettan's wedding, he called someone. When he called, 'Hello, this is Sangeeth', She asked 'which Sangeeth? who're you'? I am usually bad at maintain contacts. I don't use my phone much. He called you for fun. That's because... Either I take numbers from groups, Either I take numbers from groups, I usually don't remember to save numbers. I save numbers if I have
something to send on WhatsApp. If it is a message I received,
I'll forget to save the number. So, he called me and said this is Sangeeth.
There's also another Sangeeth, who had studied with me. I was not
sure if he's calling from another number. Lying! She is cooking up a story. -Was he a troublesome guy?
-Must be from another... Is that how she behaved with you? 'Sangeeth? I don't know you'! I just asked which Sangeeth is this. Then he told me...
Because he called me... He's speaking to me
as if we are very close. 'Where are you, darling?'
That's what he asked me. That's why!
You should have told us that before. Not like that. I just asked where are you? No, no. Who you think you are, man? After that I saved all of your numbers. Before coming here I made sure of that. That's good. Otherwise, like me... Gireeshetta, our film
is releasing in February along with many other films. Are you tensed? I'm always tensed, dear. Even if there are no other movies,
I'll be tensed. No, just about our film being released.
Have you had it before? Of course! Getting tensed? If you place an egg on my chest,
you can get it boiled. When movie is getting released will I be tensed?
What kind of question is that? You've no idea whatever goes through
my mind when I go for my film release. I don't like to go there. But, we go there coz we have no other option. If I can hide somewhere
I'll go there and hide. And will only come out
when everything get settled. That's what my mind set is.
