Discussion on Ranabali Film and Cast

A boat in playful dreams

Has it forgotten,

Has the boat gotten lost

Forgotten—

Hi!

How are you?

Man, no matter how many times I get on stage, that

heartbeat and stress level always peak.

But,

Hi, everyone! First of all,

Today is a very exciting day. Ah, I’m meeting you

after a few months.

But first of all,

I have to start with one thing.

Your reels, posts, comments,

seeing your stories, how

how adorable you all look in the Jayamma

Ranabali look.

So many reels and so many recreations!

Your reels are so, so adorable to watch.

Hi!

You, keep doing what you’re doing, because

Lately, watching your reels makes my time fly by.

They’re so adorable. So I just wanted to say you

guys look adorable, and I love you very, very much.

Yeah?

I can’t hear you from there.

Okay, today let's talk about Ranavalli. Okay?

Whenever I go to that set, each time it's a

four- or five-day schedule. Everyone else works for one or two months

continuously.

So I go for four or five days and come back, right? I'm so

scared to go to the set.

Because

everyone works so seriously.

I'm chill. For me, it's like going on a picnic and enjoying myself,

doing everything Rahul sir needs, putting in a performance

and coming back, but

Vijay is like this, this, this, completely

twirling his mustache and giving that performance, it scares me.

Everyone, the cast and crew, how

they work in such strange climates, how

they work in such stressful environments— What am I

talking about? This is getting difficult, Ragu.

Hit me, hit me.

Sorry, I'm getting distracted for a minute.

Then you realize how

hard they're working, how, how

With such love and passion, they’re making this film.

So I am the first audience, and I am telling you,

when you watch Ranabali, which is set for its sixteenth release,

they will take you into another world.

I promise you that. I mean, I still haven’t seen the film.

I’m watching it with you on the first day. But I’m the first

audience member, right? When I’m there and see everyone’s groundwork,

I feel that

they have all gone to another mental level,

really, and

it’s—it’s some place that they call God mode,

right? That’s where everyone is working.

The entire Ranabali team, cast, and crew.

So,

I want to begin with Rahul. I don’t know where you’re sitting.

Rahul, are you Rahul? Ah, Rahul.

Ah, you’re here. I think I’m the only one, sir.

When I want to make a film, I believe God says, “That’s it—” “For me—”

I believe it is the film written for me.

Because I feel like doing so many films, but we can't.

Those dates don't work, there are some complications or other.

When this film came to me, I felt

I am so grateful that I did this film because, one,

it is such an important film. I know Vijju, and I have done

Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade, which are such

beautiful love stories. But Ranabali is not a

love story. But the love track in this

is absolutely extraordinary.

But Ranabali is a film which is much, much, much bigger

than a love story. We will come back with a love story

definitely.

But

right now we are talking about something much bigger

for which I really wanted to do the film so I am really grateful that I

did it. And also, when Rahul sir was narrating it to me

Rahul sir said, “Jayamma means…”

It was Rahul sir's mother's name. Oh! I melted.

I mean, how could I not do this now?

She is such a beautiful character.

The character Jayamma will always stay in your heart.

So I'm very happy that I did the film.

Jesnu sir, I feel like we've spent too little time. We have to spend

a lot more time together, which means we have to do another film

together.

Thank you so much to all the chief guests who came today.

I'm waiting to work with all of you.

Rahul, I think it's been a long time. Now we have to start making

our next one. But I wish you all the best for all

your films.

I wish I get a chance to do your film at

some point. That would be very exciting.

There are so, so many on the list. Wait, wait.

And cast, the whole cast, you guys are, you guys are

Crazy about what you're doing. Alivelu, Chinni,

Oh, no!

Okay, everyone will see it after the movie, right?

They'll fall for you.

But yes, Ajay Atul sir, I'm a big fan. I'll always

be a big fan. Thank you so much for giving us deadly

music.

Ranabali is going to be next level.

Mythri Movie Makers has become a home production.

So you guys know I love you. Ah, let's make more crazy

films together. Okay. Ah, and—

Dialogue, I don't know any dialogue.

Actually, I liked a dialogue, okay, yes, but Rahul sir edited it out,

so I can't say that dialogue now.

Huh?

The dialogue hasn't been released yet, right?

What should I say?

Okay.

Done?

One thing, Vijju.

It doesn't feel like she's married at all.

I feel like a fan girl now.

Vijju.

I'm a huge fan of your work, as you know.

I'm very excited to see

What you have done with Ranabali. All the best, all the best to

us. I love you guys. Take care of yourself

and be kind, be happy, enjoy, keep

smiling, okay? Lovely.

Love you too. Thank you, thank you so much.

Lakshmika

All the best for you professionally and personally too.

Thank you, thank you so much. Thank you. Requesting you to please be seated.
