Discussion on Horror Films and Vijay's Stardom

I love horror films. Whenever I feel really stressed

or need a break from work,

I open a horror film.

Really?

Seriously.

For the most part, we underestimate ourselves.

The loss it causes is huge. I don't know whether outsiders will believe in you or not

but

believing in ourselves takes a lot of time.

I do a good job writing. So if you ask me, as a director

and writer, I'm a better

writer. As for direction, I'm still a student of, uh, direction.

Vijay's films may have failed, but Vijay never failed.

Vijay as a star or a-as a brand, uh, because people loved

him as a story. Vijay as a story is a hit.

What do you mean by that, "Vijay as a story is a hit"?

So...

That wedding photo, that wedding photograph which we released, or the poster we released

saying it was a reference, someone sent me a

In the “Yendayya Swamy” song alone, Rashmika must have changed costumes some 30 times.

Every day, she used to change so many costumes.

What is this moonlight shining like this?

Moonlight. After the concept for the “Ranabali” story first came to mind,

Did you already know that this much research work would be necessary?

If not—

Not at all. Not at all. Whether I can write a script like this again,

I don't know.

One of my best writings ever, I can call this script that.

Why did they title it Ranabhali?

Sirivennela says outright at the end that Nelaraju and Neelarani are brought together, right?

The moment he said that, I got goosebumps. What is this, sir? You put your signature on it.

Perhaps he said, “Laugh loudly now,” carried away by that feeling.

I opened an old trunk at my grandfather’s house.

When I opened the trunk, there was a book inside.

There was a book called From the Volga to the Ganges.

The writer is Rahul Sankrityayan.

As soon as many people see my surname, they say, "Oh, you're one of us." I don't like that.

It happens a lot, especially in the industry. We have a name of our own.

I was given the name of a great writer. So I thought we'd continue with that, and I…

Sankrityayan.

Vijay and Rashmika. What can you say about their bond?

They are extremely cute. The two of them in those costumes—

Yeah.

When they sit and hold a smartphone like this, it is the funniest thing to see.

And when they are both together, they are even happier.

Imagine Vijay being alone.

Have you forgotten?

Have you forgotten Kadi?

If Rashmika is there—

A boat in your mischievous minds

Have you forgotten?

What are the major points you remember? In that, Ms. Rashmika…

I can see that no one in the entire theatre will be able to stop crying.
