Emotional Insights from Film Performance

There’s a chapter called Jayamma’s segment in this, right?

Yes.

Who is the better pe-performer in that particular angle, between you

two?

The question is for you.

The director should say.

All three of them.

I-I love Jayamma.

I love her off-screen, I love her on-screen.

So, for me, Jayamma will always be my first

priority.

Jayamma, I, uh…

I did a scene with Jayamma in the second half— the first

time, I—

On our first day of shooting, she came in wedding clothes.

That was the first scene, when she goes home. I had gone to the set earlier.

Because the network is only on the set, not near the caravan.

So, even if they don’t call me, I go there, thinking I can do some work.

So, I went to the set— while they were prepping,

I was on the set.

Suddenly, Jayamma came walking in. At that point, we weren’t married yet.

Seeing her like that in wedding clothes, I felt this…

I had a feeling, an emotional kind of feeling.

I felt it.

Ah.

That scene in the second half with Jayamma, where everyone is talking,

while performing it,

for some reason, I felt physical pain when I was performing that.

And

I think when you see it, that's what you feel, and I was telling

her after the shoot, "I'm acting,

but when I see that situation,

I

feel sorrow and pain."

My-my body doesn't know

that this is acting. We are trying to feel that emotion so strongly

that somewhere, that one— I mean, I got scared that day.

A little fear, a little pain remained in me.

Ah, and I watched the film three times.

Ah, twice during editing, the first time yesterday with CG and music.

Ah, we watched the final cut yesterday. But again, yesterday, that scene,

while watching it,

Ah, I was, I was choking up. My mom was behind me, though…

I kept crying and crying. I said, "Mom, it's a movie, Mom, it's a movie,

Mom, it's a movie," but I was really crying loudly in public.

We don't normally cry like that in public. Then I went to Rashmi and sat with Mom

for a while. Ah, ah, and then…

Okay, Mom, okay, my mom. Our school friends were sitting in front.

He was crying. He said, "Hey, you, hey, I—

I'm crying, man, it's just coming out outside like that."

So it's like a

it's like a very emotionally intense film overall,

personally, because of the subject and stuff, so yeah
