We reached out to multiple creators from the Kannada industry who unfortunately couldn’t make time for us for this particular roundtable. But do stay tuned for exciting updates!
Ahh 😢!!! What a missed opportunity. I feel sad and at the same time a bit happy, atleast now Kannada creators are being considered for Round-table conversations ☺ A Prashanth Neel for this panel would have been perfect. Still hyped up for the round-table great job FC bringing these illustrious talents under 1 roof and have a conversation. Cheers.
What an absolutely immersive and learning experience just to sit through this! The creative energy in the room must have been electric! Absolutely brilliant 👏🏻👏🏻
i mean its pretty obvious. Malayalam films have always had superior movies (in terms of stories and acting and script) when compared to other film industries in India for a long long time now.. The mid 60s-70s emergent art-house scene and the then new wave 80s golden era where art and commercial styles was successfully integrated while every other film industry couldn't even understand what it meant. The 2 Big Ms rise and peak with great writers-directors and supporting actors and now the 2010- present day New wave Renaissance. Only the 2000-2010 decade was dark days for us in the last 50 years or so when the 80s era started stagnating and rotting. But yea otherwise if u strip the budget factor away Malayalam cinema has always been superior to others and Malayalees should be the last people surprised about it.
I am from ap, and i recently watched hridayam, it was amazing and daily I used to watch the movie clips atleast an hour, really it only possible with malayalis, hattsoff to u bros
Offcourse the best scripts comes from Malayalam. But due to exposure to worldwide contents nowadays I'm sure other movie industries will pickup as Kamal said from northeast hence, we cannot discount other movie industries.
It's surprising that nobody mentioned Drishyam as a pan Indian movie from Malayalam. All credits to Jeethu Joseph. And kudos to the confidence of Prithviraj to go on such a stage and vow before the greats that he ll put Malayalam cinema on the global map. Malayalam cinema deserves more heights and hope they stick on to their roots in that process. One of the Hardcore Malayalam cinema fan from tamilnadu and sure there are many of them out there reading this.
So I think the reason why drishyam is not mentioned and Kamal sir already said it is because, if you think of it like there was a trend since the 80s, where most of the amazingly hit tamil, telegu, hindi cinemas were actually first made in Malayalam. It always used to go in a chain Malyalam - Tamil - Telugu - Hindi and they'd go on to be huge hits.
Drishyam was discussed during BR's Mega Round Table Interview. Anurag Kashyap mentioned that it was remade in Chinese & collected 200 million dollars! 🤯
Malayalam cinema should definitely get more exposure..it just saddens me that almost all my friends have never seen a Malayalam film, and they just loved the Hindi remake of "Drishyam" so much, i wanna show them there are plenty of masterpieces from Malayalam cinema they're missing out.

I am a Telugu citizen of India and i agree that Malayalam industry have best story tellers in india . Love prithvi raj and Jeetu Josef writings , keep it up 🙏🙏🙏🙏 #jaihind
When north indan friends of mine praise south k movies south k movies I have to say them u watch Telugu Tamil cinema ....very few watch Malayalam cinema....but most of my telgu friends love Malayalam movies
Kamal Haasan is an Institution and Prithviraj is on a Mission. Felt so proud when Prithvi mentioned about an Odia Film. The film is called 'Daman'. Recently, Anupam Kher bought the remake of another Odia Film Pratikshya and I cannot Emphasize how I have been wanting Odia Film industry to grow from mindless and remake films and make a name of its own. We as an Odia audience appreciate a Drishyam and Interstellar in the same breath. I hope a giant production company comes into play and increase the Odia Film Market and remove all the notions about Odisha as a state. HOPE!
I am a Telugu guy living in Chattisgarh whose half of the family settled in South Odisha, I really feel Odisha deserve better. So much natural resources, so much talent, beauty and still it is so backward and not at all in the mainstream media. I think small budget content driven films can put it in the center stage. Let's wish it happens soon.
Malayali here, came to the comment section exclusively to get the name of the Odia movie, thanks for that. We as audience have to support and spread the word in good quality content. Money will come, but the creators need our support. Looking forward to seeing good content coming out of Odia film industry!
I had had an Odia manager some years back, who would bash Tamils are language fanatics, outsider-haters and all (the kind of rhetoric that you often hear from the immatured lot) and one day I hit back stating "now you know why Tamil film industry is so popular and Odia film industry just lives on paper". He was taken aback and though he didn't retaliate with bad appraisals and all, but he did stop talking about that subject thereafter. Welcome relief for me.
Prabhas anna Prithviraj sir and Prashant Neel sir interview with Rajamouli sir is my favourite🤌 Especially Prabhas anna and Prithviraj sir being humble and showing respect and admiration towards each other is heart melting❤️🔥
Nothing surprised me in this interview except PrinthviRaj...his articulatory skill made me aww!!!! I like him but never knew he has this much knowledge..👏👏👏❤️ stealing the interview among these legends is not an easy thing..and he did it with ease of his knowledge about cinema👏
I am shocked 😳 He looks calm & cute but watching vikram made me believe that director Lokesh would've been a crazy guy. 🥵 He looks calm from outer space but in his mind he is crazy & wild 💯
This is a good talk filled with very intelligent and accomplished people overall amazing but 12:30 I don't understand how these very intelligent people cannot grasp that Hindi cinema encompasses a region of over 1.4 billion people including the Urdu speaking Pakistanis, Dari speaking Afghanis who grew up watching Bollywood cinema as the afghans had no large homegrown industry, Nepalis who similarly had no homegrown industry capable of competing with Bollywood and Bangladeshis who prefer to watch bollywood films over their own films...while all 4 of the southern industries have to compete for a region of 270 million... It's unfathomable how much more of an audience Hindi cinema has yet still these 4 smaller regional cinema industries are capable of producing films that are even bigger hits... Same with the "overseas" market he was talking about and how he was wondering how hindi cinema has captured it? Theirs over 18 million Hindi speakers outside of South Asia including overseas pakistanis and populations like Fiji or the millions of Punjabis and Biharis who were taken as indentured servants and are now large populations in South Africa, Trinidad, Guyana, Mauritius... The overseas population of South Indians outside of South Asia is barely a third of that. Their is no comparison it's insane how much the 4 regional cinemas are overperforming compared to how much Hindi cinema is underperforming.
@@debodatta7398 Among indias top 5 film industries only hindi is in top the 2nd, 3rd, 4th nd 5th goes to telugu, tamil, malyalam and kannada so saying the south film industry is small is laughable , In fact i belive telugu industry might have surpased hindi in revenue collection
As a tamilan.i never skip Malayalam cinema in Ott..in a content wise malayalm film was extra ordinary..i love thallumala, RDX,i never skip every moment of these movies .and i watch 2 times on the netflix..2018,romancham can also nice . totally 2022 - 23 festivals carried out by malayalam cinema..i really loved it
The Film which Gautam Menon sir and Kamal sir collaborated is Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu(2006). Highly recommended, one of best crime thrillers from Kollywood. 🔥🔥
Love the way Lokesh presented himself. He has directed so many big hits still so humble, respects his seniors, no show off and dead honest. People who have watched his movie will know what sort of creator he is. Way to go and respect 🙏

Don't forget Rakshith shetty for 777Charlie... Even though as a tamilian... I proud abt Kannada filmmakers, now thay got the right path... Seriously expecting lot of good films from Kannada industry... Especially like 777 Charlie..
I am proud of Prithvi sir, like without any hesitation he said he wanted to do what ssr did for telagu film..the same confidence was there is yesh 8 yrs ago in sima award..and I am sure that Prithvi sir will definitely achieve that..
Unfortunately Prithviraj don't want to say anything regarding to what is currently happening in KR Narayanan filim institute It seems he is very particular about that he only wants to take Malayalam filim into top of it
@@rajatkumarbeherait1313 I wonder what GVM is doing there as if he has given a good film this year. Honestly say did VTK do well? IF u r excited for VTK 2 then fine if not then the first part is an average!
Love SSR how humble he is, doesn't have attitude even he is holding Indian market and his smile♥️. Prithviraj is damn clear explaining every question and his aspiration on making mollywood industry 💪. And thankfully Kamal paticipated like an youngster and discussed with additional new things ,his exp and his memories😍 wish this interview is never ending atleast 3hrs... வாழ்க தமிழ் ❤வளர்க பாரதம் ❤
Wow what n interview - it was a learning process for audience as well as film makers ❤️ Kamal hasan's experience, prithviraj's vision , lokesh just sitting n seems like still learning from others is like fan boy❤️ Best thing on internet ❤️🔥
Agreed Prashant Neel and Sukumar are missed here, It's all about adjusting their dates for this interview. I think Prashant Neel and Sukumar are fully occupied with on going sallaar and pushpa making and which are their top priority. Just writting this with my opinion.
Ha bhai, 3 states ke log hai, but none from Karnataka, kisi ko bee bula sakte te, or maybe just Ravi Basrur or any assistant director or maybe any other lesser known actor/actress also would have been fine with us. Yes I saw their excuse very busy, but still unacceptable. Karo toh pura 4 states ka karo, nai to mat karo.
This interview is all the reasons why Bollywood is a sinking ship. Extremely Few directors in Bollywood sort of have clarity, respect and awareness of what these film makers have. Thank you Film companion for this podcast
There are definitely directors with vision but Bollywood is very risk averse. The producers in Bollywood don't like betting their money on anyone that doesn't guarantee a win. Otherwise, directors like Anurag Kashyap and Anubhav Sinha can make some great cinema if they get backing from the money people. But people don't give them money and don't trust their conviction after just one big failure.

Also the bollywood audience too. Every industry has good and bad films. But Bollywood audience instead of supporting the good films they nitpick bad films and troll it. Audience should also stop being over judgemental when it comes to Bollywood.

@@debodatta7398 it's only post-bahubali did the North Indian diaspora started watching South movies. While South movies have been very successful on TV pre-bahubali in the North, only later did the theatres encouraged them. Southern Indians also have way more disposable income and cinema craze, not forgetting the highest single screen theatres.
In a room filled with kamal sir,Rajamouli sir and Gautham sir,it’s surprising to see that Prithviraj stood up with his knowledge and awareness of everything related to the movie industry.the way he articulates stuff is so effortless and I hope he achieves his vision on making Malayalam cinema more global.
@@anirudh6386 who told je is the best actor in youth who did vareity of genres and succeded Also as a director his films have done 100% justice to its genres
@@deepakmk9594 No he is a very good actor. Only thing is that directors must make good use of him and control him. He is the best young actor currently in Malayalam along with Fahadh.
prithvrajs growth over time has been incredible ... from being compared to young superstars like kunchako , jayasurya etc to know being in a rounf=d table conference with ss rajamaouli , GVM , Kamal Hassan etc 😊😊💕💕
He is not just a mere actor like anyone else in malayalam. He is someone who has the vision of Kamal. He definitely cannot become a Kamal. But he's very passionate and visionary.
Everyone just talks about Tamil and Malayalam. Talk about Kannada. It's been the year for Kannadigas. GGVV, 777 Charlie, Kantara, KGF2. Kannada people rocked the dias this year. Kerala movie Drishyam was the best
What Kamal sir said about Hindi cinema,east side cinema which is unexplored till now is very true..and rajamouli's thing on connect with audience, Prithviraj's genius mind ❤️very good session
Man....Kamal sir is a dragon. As it inhales heat and exhales fire outta the mouth, he inhales and exhales cinema. Truly honored and it's a privilege to be in this era and see whatever he does. Pure blessing....

@@debodatta7398Absolutely right. Though I would argue that the Southern base isn’t even 270 million. Unlike the north, there’s no common language that people from the South speak - they don’t understand each other’s languages though they are culturally similar.

53:34 Proud moment as a #odia our odia movie industry get recognised by prithviraj , prabhas and prashaant neel. This is what we wanted from odia movie industry from many years. This is a new step our film makers now understanding the situation and exploring there capacity wish may more to come. Jay jagannath 🙏🙏
@@bullymaguire290 "daman "and" pratikshya you can watch their trailer in youtube and also watch teaser trailer of "mind game" and "Anthony " odia. Pratikshya has been selected in iffi goa 2022 and anupam kher buy its remake right after watch it in iffi.
Prithviraj has found the formula to make Malayalam films more mainstream. He is my favourite actor amongst the current lot across all industries for multitasking. I am not from Kerala.
Hi brother I admit his vision as a director is splendid but as an actor he is terribly limited also what he does these days is mostly is selling whatever monetizable. He is a good businessman who associates himself with Karan Johar on one side and Hombale on another. Should not be considered as a successor to the Pioneers like KH or Mammootty. Hope this helps ( I'm from Kerala)
@@sravank5122 really agree with u brother Fafa makes more creative pieces even as a producer like Iyobbinte Pushthakam and Kumbalangi which never shy away from experimentation at the same time applicable to masses
Must watch. Mouthwatering panel. The whole room in admiration for Kamal. The positive tension between Rajamouli and Kamal. Prithviraj being the enigma he wants to be for Malayalam. Gowtham and Swapna playing the best friend role in getting Kamal and Rajamouli together. Lokesh being the new big kid freshly representing the industry. If only, Rishab Shetty was there in the panel, this would have been the best video of the year on TH-cam. Film Companion did it right.. big time 👍🏼
Definitely, I am engineering student but SS Rajamouli has made me interested in Marketing, I don't know how he Market's his film, When he had success with Bahubali 2, I thought this is his peak and then came RRR and literally changed the landscape of Indian Cinema, he made Global audience fans of Indian Cinema...... I cannot say he is Lucky but there is a Big plan he works very hardly so that all looks quick and easy to us..... A great film maker but A damn great Marketing genius....🙌🙌
@@prasannaighe5188 absolutely true Now everyone are trying to present their product as much as possible And there this man comes in place every time he is just bringing stacks high and presenting his product as unique and as big as possible( And he will do all this him self along with his team without involving 3rd parties) To be noted their was a master class by Shobu sir regarding bahubali 2 marketing you can watch it
@@prasannaighe5188 yeah man He knows well how to market his product I mean look at japan collection Look at the journey of rrr in Hollywood awards Golden globes His marketing 👍
Wow, watched this interview without any break. Kmal sir is an institute by himself in terms of film making. Prithvi just stole the show at many times, with his exemplary communication skill and vision. Rajamauli sir is envious of malayalam writers and actors, just wow. All together a great conversation between some of the best in the business. Thanks for making this happen.
Kamal Hassan is by far the best. Most versatile & talented actor. He has done so many brilliant roles. Nobody can match him in the Indian film industry. Each and every movie of his is a classic. He stirs emotions that no other actor can do. He is the biggest gift to the Indian film industry. Kamal + SPB + Illiyaraja = Blockbuster
And he has many times first . . . . Using many technologies starting from camera technology to post production for the first time in the Indian film industry.
He loves malayalam film. But didn't collobarated with great directors like padmarajan, kc George, Mt vasudevan, shaji n karun, adhoore gopala krishnan,sibi malayali etc in current generation he should have been collobarated with Lijo Jose Pellissery
@S A I think can make a one off here and there.. Just like a Tamil industry can make a feel good movie. But yeah, if they make a successful Magnum Opus and all the others fall into the cycle of making money leaving their trademark sensibility then it can be trouble.
They have already done it ...Drishyam is just beyond anyone's imagination & still one of the best of best d best but who knows someone might direct a big film in terms of box office collections it's just a matter of time & Jeetu Joseph is already ready with Drishyam 3 so let's hope for d best 🤞
@S A I totally understand your point... But let me tell you, in my little experience of whatever Indian cinema is... Malayalam cinema just need one big film to give it a positioning. Rorschach and Churuli are good films no doubt but by going by today's market dynamics the collection may not be that much.. Understanding majority Indian audience wants to hoot and cheer but "for a reason" (by the way I'm watching Kooman right now 30 minutes in) Give them 1 such film to draw you in, let it be the eye puller and then anyway you have these good rooted movies which will sustain them to watch Malayalam movies. Why do we want to emulate a Korean cinema.. If an RRR tries to be something else, hasn't the authenticity of the masala genre being wronged?? Please accept all kinds of cinema as cinema..
Have been on S S Rajamouli videos for the last couple of weeks. The man is truly a class apart from any other Indian filmmaker that I know of. I have watched extensive interviews of Spielberg as well, and I think that they are both cut from the same cloth of thought process about cinema, passion for movies, continually evolving craft and story telling ability. Jai ho Rajamouli saahab!

As a TELUGU GUY really really proud of SS RAJAMOULI sir who turned INDIAN cinema🇮🇳 to WORLD cinema also my respect to kannada,tamil and malayalam film industries for giving movies like kantara, jana gana mana, and kaithi ❤️
Prithvi is someone whom I admire for the confidence he has on cinema and filmmaking. He never has to be nervous before anyone. Because he's crystal clear about what he's doing. Malayalam cinema's future is safe in this visionary man's hands along with other actors like Fahadh and Dulquer.
Talking about Kannada industry too. Rakshit Shetty started the revolution with Ulidavaru Kandante. Then came Pavan Kumar with Kavaludari and U Turn. Then Rakshit and Rishabh and even Raj Shetty. Kannadigas are rocking

The best part about South Indian movie makers and actors is that they are tremendously down to earth, be it MohanLal, Mamoothy, Prithviraj, Kamal Hassan or even Rajni Saar just to name a few legends. Hats off to all these people in this forum and many more, well done guys :) thank you Anupama for a lovely presentation.
Thank you prithviraj acknowledging odia cinema ... Both Daman and pratiksha are the movies who makes odia cinema to the forefront... 🤗🤗.. Next time i want to see eastern states to make it big
The change that Kamal sir wanted to see regarding a mentorship, is so good. He truly breathes and lives for cinema. He didn’t care about his movie doing well, or bringing in money. He thought of the art developing. Truly a pioneer.
He might have all good intentions but did u ever hear or see Kamal Hasan selflessly collaborate and mentor others? He wants to always hog all the limelight in reality but poses as if he is big hearted. See how many times he interrupts others. He never acknowledged anyone in that panel but talks some other nonsense
What he mentioned is not about Actor actor collab which we cant do just for the sake of a multistarrer movie . He collabarated with loki , Gibran , Crazy mohan, U name it
@Ravi Kiran yes if he do involve and tries to mentor everyone , everyone will complain that's basic sense . So, he wanted to stay close and mentor who approaches him is a good thing.
1:04:47 When the young generations are speaking about Kamal Hasan as their teacher figure, Kamal Hasan reminds his teacher LEGENDARY K BALACHANDAR and gets himself into a student zone... That's where you learn and thats where you grow..Praising your teacher for what they did you to grow will make you even more bigger...
A big shout out to Swapna Dutt for giving great answers and rubbing her shoulders with these biggies! She is going to continue to do amazing work 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Kamal sir doesn't give up on Malayalam cinema no matter what.. He always backs Malayalam cinema not only here I've seen him in multiple interviews always backing Malayalam cinema
He started as a lead actor in Malayalam films. Prithvi's mother was also part of his first lead role. At the start he used to have more Malayalam movies than Tamil.
There's already a lot of collaboration across industries. We have Neel working with Prabhas, Shah Rukh working with Atlee, Om Prakash working with Prabhas, etc. A lot of actresses, music directors, singers, have already broken the language barriers going across industries - it is now time for the male actors and other film personnel to break them.
I am from Pakistan and I started to watch southern movies available on TH-cam (in dubbed version obviously) on my phone..... and now seeing all of the great personalities behind those films and the recent ones to sit together is a spectacle. everyone is so humble and appreciative of the others. I can say now DEFINITELY GREAT CONTENT IS COMING FOR NEXT 5 YEARS.
@@anwar8341 he won the best out going student award from the school he passed out +2..He was just +2 because he's not a failure in academics..he was one among the top students in school throughout..That guy got huge offers as the hero in films when he was just 19 itself..So he dropped his graduation..And he was doing graduation in Australia before he dropped it for cinema..Definitely not an ideal example guy to say academics is nothing...He had the massive family support and privileged enough to drop a degree to be in cinema at a young age itself..That's it..
Ain't this interview something 🔥Kamal Sir what a legend...understood Malayalam film industry and it's history better than us..SS Rajamouli sir the way he keeps up to date with every other industry...Feeling so proud we have the kind talent that inspires other industries ❤❤ Thanks Film Companion for making this happen❤
If you look back,My dear kuttichathan from malayalam was actually the first pan indian movie from india. Also the first 3D film made in india. More over it had the biggest promotion 🙌 Amitab bachan promoted in hindi, rajanikath in tamil, chiranjeevi in telugu, premnazir in malayalam❤️
As a Malayali, Iam so proud to see PRITHIVIRAJ SUKUMARAN in this interview. He is just brilliant to bring his ideas come true. Now he had great Visions to bring malayalam industry to another level & Iam sure he will make our Malayalam industry proud, by making big commercial films with great content.(mark my words 💯)
Right from the moment I saw the teaser of this, have been longing to watch this for one reason, it's Prithviraj, he is a genius with clarity, intelligence and each of his interviews had been superb sticking to the point and facts,and we can learn a lot, finally this roundtable made it come true along with other great filmmakers too. Thanks FC for putting this in place.
Woww ... as an avid watcher of all global cinema, being a Telugu myself, I cannot help but be amazed at elucidating clarity Prithviraj exudes with his words, not to mention his fantastic listening skills. He, quite literally, recalled and quoted Anupama's actual words to connect his narrative and answer. No wonder his movies, especially the ones he scripts and directs are so refreshing. Bravo!

They don't see the movie for heros. They see the movie as their hero. That's why Malayalam film ahead then others
Priitiviraj, what a man! Couldn't take off my eyes out of him, he is so brilliant and keep improviing himself as actor,director and producer. As a malaysian malayalee , I always love to watch malayalam movies, always get impressed with the realistic screenplays and logical stories
The best thing about this round discussion is, they genuinely talked and touched the movies of different parts of the country with humble.... We need more of this kind.. special thanks to @filmicompanion..
As a tamilian I love kamal sir, and he done so many experiments in Indian film.... Especially nowadays the Kannada industry is doing a awesome films... It's really sad that no one is talking about 777 Charlie... That one movie is stole the heart's of our nation... Rakshit shetty is an natural actor.. Kudos to Kannada industry..
Rakshit shetty it is.yeah we needed one representative.We have many good movies here that needs good recognition across.thanks for appreciating our industry.
Yea a movie about a western dog breed being praised while Karnataka native breeds get beaten and killed in the streets...please stop felicitating the western dog so much and pass some love to our homegrown Indian breeds....
@@mrgoodboy2676 This is a good talk filled with very intelligent and accomplished people overall amazing but 12:30 I don't understand how these very intelligent people cannot grasp that Hindi cinema encompasses a region of over 1.4 billion people including the Urdu speaking Pakistanis, Dari speaking Afghanis who grew up watching Bollywood cinema as the afghans had no large homegrown industry, Nepalis who similarly had no homegrown industry capable of competing with Bollywood and Bangladeshis who prefer to watch bollywood films over their own films...while all 4 of the southern industries have to compete for a region of 270 million... It's unfathomable how much more of an audience Hindi cinema has yet still these 4 smaller regional cinema industries are capable of producing films that are even bigger hits... Same with the "overseas" market he was talking about and how he was wondering how hindi cinema has captured it? Theirs over 18 million Hindi speakers outside of South Asia including overseas pakistanis and populations like Fiji or the millions of Punjabis and Biharis who were taken as indentured servants and are now large populations in South Africa, Trinidad, Guyana, Mauritius... The overseas population of South Indians outside of South Asia is barely a third of that. Their is no comparison it's insane how much the 4 regional cinemas are overperforming compared to how much Hindi cinema is underperforming.
His knowledge of cinema, how confidently he is sitting, how carefully these directors are speaking in front of him even though they are successful, referring him 'sir' each time - KAMAL HASSAN IS THE LEGEND.
Kamal sir's knowledge about Malayalam industry and the way he admire the industry 😍😍 Like he said, he was trained in here, I almost watched his all malayalam movies. And my mother is one his biggest fan. She grew up watching them. No wonder.😍
The Odisha movie prithvi was mentioning is "Daman", a malyali living in Orissa for past couple of years I really missed the theatre experience of our Malayalam movies. And lot of Malayalam movie fans are here in Odisha, I hope empuraan will release in Odisha too
@sripravi I am an odia and I love malayali movies the most..Fahadh Faasil is my fav actor and I also admire Lalletan(Mohanlal)sir very much.. I love their locations,plots and acting skill.I would love to visit Kerala and Padmanabhaswami temple once in future..💖

Prithviraj really knows how to speak with his movie about the real life issues. All these other guys are great film makers and entertainers but Prithvi tries to speak what destroying common man’s life. For instance Just amazed with “Jana gana mana” and I really wish all Indians watch it and I really appreciate him for what he has done 👏🏻🤍
I bring climate here, Though we have fertile lands,minerals,gold,diamonds from thousands of years In South India it is lot of humidity yaar We have high temperatures here "Gandhiji stopped wearing shirt after he saw soo maany shirt less people in Tamilnadu" How stupid statement it was?? With such humidity even women's didn't use to wear jacket those times. Our kings use to cover their upper body completely with golden ornaments. Same culture came for us, Because of climate We simply adapted one shirt and phant in modern times. Suits will suite for westerners because lot of cold they wear 3 layers of silk,polister
@@raulamino1709 there is nothing wrong in it but when you talk about something you dont have any idea about or when you think of yourself as superior just because you wear modern clothes is really wrong. A majority of Bollywood celebs tend to do this which makes them annoying and elitists.
46:14 The greatest take away from this interview was to experience what a great story teller and narrator Mr Kamal Hassan is. The way he narates the climax of "Thevar magan ". The pauses and glances he makes to check everyone is on the same page and line with him and his wonderful re-recital of the the scene with added details was a great experience. #kamalhaasan #GOAT
I'm from Odisha and it really gladdens my heart when a legend like Mr Kamala Hasan and others saying that Odiya films are brilliant and one never know that the next 500 crore movie might come from Odisha or Assam. Thank you sir for your vote of confidence🙏🙏🙏🙏
Bro I'm from Karnataka I watched Daman I wish Odia Industry the best may u guys be the next bug thing Nd I must say Marathi industry is the MOST underrated industry in today's date they deserve a lot more

@@user-v2qdfg-v53e Yeah when people don't understand things the way you speak about someone they only end up dreaming, fortunately I am not. Accept it and improve. No other way.
Gautam Vasudev Menon is so underrated. He's probably the only director who's inspired a lot of people to become police officers. Be it Kaakha Kaakha(Gharshana in Telugu), Raghavan, Vaaranam Aayiram and Yennai Arindhal his filmography is very unique and made many of our childhoods. And the music in his films 🔥. He needs to make more movies and stop doing cameo roles. He needs more recognition.
@@pavithran9611 pan people first get attraction to see all language films first and they will understand and accept , different genre films,, It is matter of time!, let us grow Organic
Is it just me or were Swapna Dutt’s words just so impactful. We need more female filmmakers on this couch, filmmaker’s like HER are the future if INDIAN cinema Ps: I LOVED this recent movie called Yashoda, I sincerely urge everyone to go check it out. THATS THE STUFF, JUST DAMN.
20:00 Regarding Prithvi's answer, it is exactly the less screentime of Mohanlal's character that gives meaning to the film. Stephen Nedumbally is a character of mystery and intrigue. The less we know about him, the more intriguing and interesting he becomes. Even though we see less of him, compared to the length of the film, his presence is everywhere in the film. And, it all comes down to the brilliant design of the screenplay by Murali Gopy along with Prithvi's direction.
@@PremChand-Salva yeah. It's not the usual commercial mass film. The film has layers. The story is layered, the characters are not one dimensional. Each one has their own motivations and depth.
There are many underrated movies in Tamil cinema. You better watch those movies, if you are interested in story and screenplay wise. Then you can't say acting wise b'coz every industry have that.
Prithviraj is so eloquent and articulate it's always a treat to watch him in interviews he really understand & loves cinema and is on a mission to push Malayalam cinema to the next level.

@@debayudhchatterjee5961 He already had but in actors round table, It will come next week.
As a Malayali, its an honour when Rajamouli garu praised the industry. ❤️
i mean its pretty obvious. Malayalam films have always had superior movies (in terms of stories and acting and script) when compared to other film industries in India for a long long time now..
The mid 60s-70s emergent art-house scene and the then new wave 80s golden era where art and commercial styles was successfully integrated while every other film industry couldn't even understand what it meant. The 2 Big Ms rise and peak with great writers-directors and supporting actors and now the 2010- present day New wave Renaissance. Only the 2000-2010 decade was dark days for us in the last 50 years or so when the 80s era started stagnating and rotting.
But yea otherwise if u strip the budget factor away Malayalam cinema has always been superior to others and Malayalees should be the last people surprised about it.
Malayalam movies and storytelling is truly amazing! Cinematography and Music are scintillating.
I am from ap, and i recently watched hridayam, it was amazing and daily I used to watch the movie clips atleast an hour, really it only possible with malayalis, hattsoff to u bros
Offcourse the best scripts comes from Malayalam. But due to exposure to worldwide contents nowadays I'm sure other movie industries will pickup as Kamal said from northeast hence, we cannot discount other movie industries.

It's surprising that nobody mentioned Drishyam as a pan Indian movie from Malayalam. All credits to Jeethu Joseph. And kudos to the confidence of Prithviraj to go on such a stage and vow before the greats that he ll put Malayalam cinema on the global map. Malayalam cinema deserves more heights and hope they stick on to their roots in that process. One of the Hardcore Malayalam cinema fan from tamilnadu and sure there are many of them out there reading this.
Drishyam doesnt make money outside kerala, drishyam 2 was ott release..
@sae i know .
the hindi version's co producers are mohan lal and antony പെരുമ്പാവൂർ
So I think the reason why drishyam is not mentioned and Kamal sir already said it is because, if you think of it like there was a trend since the 80s, where most of the amazingly hit tamil, telegu, hindi cinemas were actually first made in Malayalam. It always used to go in a chain Malyalam - Tamil - Telugu - Hindi and they'd go on to be huge hits.
Drishyam was discussed during BR's Mega Round Table Interview. Anurag Kashyap mentioned that it was remade in Chinese & collected 200 million dollars! 🤯
Once Rajamouli Sir did mention that he truly admires the Drishyam Franchise and that he thinks that is great work
Malayalam cinema should definitely get more exposure..it just saddens me that almost all my friends have never seen a Malayalam film, and they just loved the Hindi remake of "Drishyam" so much, i wanna show them there are plenty of masterpieces from Malayalam cinema they're missing out.
why not drop some suggestions here bro, maybe not many but a lot of people might read something here and read it.

I feel it should have been Fahad instead of Prithviraj for this interview....
Prithviraj not writing, he is an actor and director
what is telugu citizen lol ? It isn't even a country
Kamal Haasan is an Institution and Prithviraj is on a Mission.
Felt so proud when Prithvi mentioned about an Odia Film. The film is called 'Daman'. Recently, Anupam Kher bought the remake of another Odia Film Pratikshya and I cannot Emphasize how I have been wanting Odia Film industry to grow from mindless and remake films and make a name of its own. We as an Odia audience appreciate a Drishyam and Interstellar in the same breath. I hope a giant production company comes into play and increase the Odia Film Market and remove all the notions about Odisha as a state. HOPE!
I am a Telugu guy living in Chattisgarh whose half of the family settled in South Odisha, I really feel Odisha deserve better. So much natural resources, so much talent, beauty and still it is so backward and not at all in the mainstream media. I think small budget content driven films can put it in the center stage. Let's wish it happens soon.
Malayali here, came to the comment section exclusively to get the name of the Odia movie, thanks for that. We as audience have to support and spread the word in good quality content. Money will come, but the creators need our support. Looking forward to seeing good content coming out of Odia film industry!
Bro I have been trying to watch Daman but its available nowhere. Do you know where I can watch it?
Bro it will come in one or two dubbing language this month and release in theaters all over India...btw love from Odisha to kerla
I had had an Odia manager some years back, who would bash Tamils are language fanatics, outsider-haters and all (the kind of rhetoric that you often hear from the immatured lot) and one day I hit back stating "now you know why Tamil film industry is so popular and Odia film industry just lives on paper". He was taken aback and though he didn't retaliate with bad appraisals and all, but he did stop talking about that subject thereafter.
Welcome relief for me.

Ha bhai, 3 states ke log hai, but none from Karnataka, kisi ko bee bula sakte te, or maybe just Ravi Basrur or any assistant director or maybe any other lesser known actor/actress also would have been fine with us. Yes I saw their excuse very busy, but still unacceptable. Karo toh pura 4 states ka karo, nai to mat karo.
This interview is all the reasons why Bollywood is a sinking ship. Extremely Few directors in Bollywood sort of have clarity, respect and awareness of what these film makers have.
Thank you Film companion for this podcast
There are definitely directors with vision but Bollywood is very risk averse. The producers in Bollywood don't like betting their money on anyone that doesn't guarantee a win. Otherwise, directors like Anurag Kashyap and Anubhav Sinha can make some great cinema if they get backing from the money people. But people don't give them money and don't trust their conviction after just one big failure.

True 🔥
He is not just a mere actor like anyone else in malayalam. He is someone who has the vision of Kamal. He definitely cannot become a Kamal. But he's very passionate and visionary.
@@sameers3581 we will never know if he would become as great as kamal sir ,
Every one is different. Kunjacko boban, jayasurya have their own capabilities.
Everyone just talks about Tamil and Malayalam. Talk about Kannada. It's been the year for Kannadigas. GGVV, 777 Charlie, Kantara, KGF2. Kannada people rocked the dias this year. Kerala movie Drishyam was the best
What Kamal sir said about Hindi cinema,east side cinema which is unexplored till now is very true..and rajamouli's thing on connect with audience, Prithviraj's genius mind ❤️very good session
Man....Kamal sir is a dragon. As it inhales heat and exhales fire outta the mouth, he inhales and exhales cinema. Truly honored and it's a privilege to be in this era and see whatever he does. Pure blessing....
If he inhales cinema than oxygen then he is a god called andavareyyy 😂😂😅
This is a good talk filled with very intelligent and accomplished people overall amazing but 12:30 I don't understand how these very intelligent people cannot grasp that Hindi cinema encompasses a region of over 1.4 billion people including the Urdu speaking Pakistanis, Dari speaking Afghanis who grew up watching Bollywood cinema as the afghans had no large homegrown industry, Nepalis who similarly had no homegrown industry capable of competing with Bollywood and Bangladeshis who prefer to watch bollywood films over their own films...while all 4 of the southern industries have to compete for a region of 270 million... It's unfathomable how much more of an audience Hindi cinema has yet still these 4 smaller regional cinema industries are capable of producing films that are even bigger hits... Same with the "overseas" market he was talking about and how he was wondering how hindi cinema has captured it? Theirs over 18 million Hindi speakers outside of South Asia including overseas pakistanis and populations like Fiji or the millions of Punjabis and Biharis who were taken as indentured servants and are now large populations in South Africa, Trinidad, Guyana, Mauritius... The overseas population of South Indians outside of South Asia is barely a third of that. Their is no comparison it's insane how much the 4 regional cinemas are overperforming compared to how much Hindi cinema is underperforming.
@@debodatta7398Absolutely right. Though I would argue that the Southern base isn’t even 270 million. Unlike the north, there’s no common language that people from the South speak - they don’t understand each other’s languages though they are culturally similar.

53:10 directors about eastern Regional films
54:30 "kantara"s Huge response

Prithviraj has found the formula to make Malayalam films more mainstream. He is my favourite actor amongst the current lot across all industries for multitasking. I am not from Kerala.

I’m not from Kerala, but I’m rooting for Malayalam Cinema and PrithviRaj’s pan India level success.
Go and see fafa's movie.
Malayalam movies are remake to other languages. So whole malayalam industry already in pan world
Hi brother I admit his vision as a director is splendid but as an actor he is terribly limited also what he does these days is mostly is selling whatever monetizable. He is a good businessman who associates himself with Karan Johar on one side and Hombale on another. Should not be considered as a successor to the Pioneers like KH or Mammootty. Hope this helps ( I'm from Kerala)
@@sravank5122 really agree with u brother Fafa makes more creative pieces even as a producer like Iyobbinte Pushthakam and Kumbalangi which never shy away from experimentation at the same time applicable to masses

Must watch. Mouthwatering panel.
The whole room in admiration for Kamal. The positive tension between Rajamouli and Kamal. Prithviraj being the enigma he wants to be for Malayalam. Gowtham and Swapna playing the best friend role in getting Kamal and Rajamouli together. Lokesh being the new big kid freshly representing the industry. If only, Rishab Shetty was there in the panel, this would have been the best video of the year on TH-cam.

What Rajamouli did to Telugu and Indian industry is unimaginable and it happened so quickly 😮
Definitely, I am engineering student but SS Rajamouli has made me interested in Marketing, I don't know how he Market's his film, When he had success with Bahubali 2, I thought this is his peak and then came RRR and literally changed the landscape of Indian Cinema, he made Global audience fans of Indian Cinema......
I cannot say he is Lucky but there is a Big plan he works very hardly so that all looks quick and easy to us.....
A great film maker but A damn great Marketing genius....🙌🙌

Good actor.
Wow, watched this interview without any break. Kmal sir is an institute by himself in terms of film making. Prithvi just stole the show at many times, with his exemplary communication skill and vision. Rajamauli sir is envious of malayalam writers and actors, just wow. All together a great conversation between some of the best in the business. Thanks for making this happen.
Kamal Hassan is by far the best. Most versatile & talented actor. He has done so many brilliant roles. Nobody can match him in the Indian film industry. Each and every movie of his is a classic. He stirs emotions that no other actor can do. He is the biggest gift to the Indian film industry. Kamal + SPB + Illiyaraja = Blockbuster
And he has many times first . . . . Using many technologies starting from camera technology to post production for the first time in the Indian film industry.
Kamalhasan sir always with Malayalam cinema ❤
Yapp.... ❤️
Yes he really loves malayalam movies💜
He loves malayalam film. But didn't collobarated with great directors like padmarajan, kc George, Mt vasudevan, shaji n karun, adhoore gopala krishnan,sibi malayali etc in current generation he should have been collobarated with Lijo Jose Pellissery
@@swaroopm6013 talks are on with Malik director
@@swaroopm6013 Thevar magan(which Kamal Haasan wrote,produced and also spoke about in the video) was directed by Bharathan.
Malayalam will come up with something.
We will. Prithviraj says it then it's definitely going to happen🙌 he has kept all the promises he did🔥
@S A I think can make a one off here and there.. Just like a Tamil industry can make a feel good movie. But yeah, if they make a successful Magnum Opus and all the others fall into the cycle of making money leaving their trademark sensibility then it can be trouble.
They have already done it ...Drishyam is just beyond anyone's imagination & still one of the best of best d best but who knows someone might direct a big film in terms of box office collections it's just a matter of time & Jeetu Joseph is already ready with Drishyam 3 so let's hope for d best 🤞
@S A I totally understand your point... But let me tell you, in my little experience of whatever Indian cinema is... Malayalam cinema just need one big film to give it a positioning.
Rorschach and Churuli are good films no doubt but by going by today's market dynamics the collection may not be that much.. Understanding majority Indian audience wants to hoot and cheer but "for a reason" (by the way I'm watching Kooman right now 30 minutes in)
Give them 1 such film to draw you in, let it be the eye puller and then anyway you have these good rooted movies which will sustain them to watch Malayalam movies.
Why do we want to emulate a Korean cinema.. If an RRR tries to be something else, hasn't the authenticity of the masala genre being wronged??
Please accept all kinds of cinema as cinema..
Woaahh I've found someone who has my exact name too!!!! Cool af
@S A wait and see
Have been on S S Rajamouli videos for the last couple of weeks. The man is truly a class apart from any other Indian filmmaker that I know of. I have watched extensive interviews of Spielberg as well, and I think that they are both cut from the same cloth of thought process about cinema, passion for movies, continually evolving craft and story telling ability.
Jai ho Rajamouli saahab!

As a TELUGU GUY really really proud of SS RAJAMOULI sir who turned INDIAN cinema🇮🇳 to WORLD cinema also my respect to kannada,tamil and malayalam film industries for giving movies like kantara, jana gana mana, and kaithi ❤️
Prithvi is someone whom I admire for the confidence he has on cinema and filmmaking. He never has to be nervous before anyone. Because he's crystal clear about what he's doing. Malayalam cinema's future is safe in this visionary man's hands along with other actors like Fahadh and Dulquer.
Talking about Kannada industry too. Rakshit Shetty started the revolution with Ulidavaru Kandante. Then came Pavan Kumar with Kavaludari and U Turn. Then Rakshit and Rishabh and even Raj Shetty. Kannadigas are rocking

The change that Kamal sir wanted to see regarding a mentorship, is so good. He truly breathes and lives for cinema. He didn’t care about his movie doing well, or bringing in money. He thought of the art developing. Truly a pioneer.
He might have all good intentions but did u ever hear or see Kamal Hasan selflessly collaborate and mentor others?
He wants to always hog all the limelight in reality but poses as if he is big hearted.
See how many times he interrupts others.
He never acknowledged anyone in that panel but talks some other nonsense
@@Tumbad3588 He did talk about Lokesh Kankaraj and Supported Malayalam cinema and praised Kanthara.
What he mentioned is not about Actor actor collab which we cant do just for the sake of a multistarrer movie .
He collabarated with loki , Gibran , Crazy mohan, U name it
@@Tumbad3588 my thought exactly. Why interrupt in the middle when question is not directed to him.
@Ravi Kiran yes if he do involve and tries to mentor everyone , everyone will complain that's basic sense . So, he wanted to stay close and mentor who approaches him is a good thing.
1:04:47 When the young generations are speaking about Kamal Hasan as their teacher figure, Kamal Hasan reminds his teacher LEGENDARY K BALACHANDAR and gets himself into a student zone...
That's where you learn and thats where you grow..Praising your teacher for what they did you to grow will make you even more bigger...

A big shout out to Swapna Dutt for giving great answers and rubbing her shoulders with these biggies! She is going to continue to do amazing work 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
She held her own
Kamal sir doesn't give up on Malayalam cinema no matter what.. He always backs Malayalam cinema not only here I've seen him in multiple interviews always backing Malayalam cinema
He started as a lead actor in Malayalam films. Prithvi's mother was also part of his first lead role. At the start he used to have more Malayalam movies than Tamil.
kamal sir reality based films...and thats the main reason too
@@sambumanipriyachennai3879 he love to blend reality and masala in right proportion

Bcz for me
Malayalam cinima is the best movie industry
There's already a lot of collaboration across industries. We have Neel working with Prabhas, Shah Rukh working with Atlee, Om Prakash working with Prabhas, etc. A lot of actresses, music directors, singers, have already broken the language barriers going across industries - it is now time for the male actors and other film personnel to break them.
I am from Pakistan and I started to watch southern movies available on TH-cam (in dubbed version obviously) on my phone..... and now seeing all of the great personalities behind those films and the recent ones to sit together is a spectacle. everyone is so humble and appreciative of the others.

With such humidity even women's didn't use to wear jacket those times.

@@pavithran9611 pan people first get attraction to see all language films first and they will understand and accept , different genre films,, It is matter of time!, let us grow Organic
Completely agreed, GVM is a genius..not his time now, but sure this phase would change and he would back in spotlight.
Is it just me or were Swapna Dutt’s words just so impactful. We need more female filmmakers on this couch, filmmaker’s like HER are the future if INDIAN cinema
Ps: I LOVED this recent movie called Yashoda, I sincerely urge everyone to go check it out. THATS THE STUFF, JUST DAMN.
They should have invited Sudha Kongara
I mean she is making the biggest Indian movie(pan world) right now. So the credit of first pan world film goes to a female filmmaker.
Prithviraj has such great understanding of cinema that he's able to hold his own against such veterans, and his opinions really stand out.
More an understanding about logistics of cinema than cinema i would say
He was spot on about Pathaan. Hindi cinema made a miraculous comeback in 2023.
20:00 Regarding Prithvi's answer, it is exactly the less screentime of Mohanlal's character that gives meaning to the film. Stephen Nedumbally is a character of mystery and intrigue. The less we know about him, the more intriguing and interesting he becomes. Even though we see less of him, compared to the length of the film, his presence is everywhere in the film. And, it all comes down to the brilliant design of the screenplay by Murali Gopy along with Prithvi's direction.
Still majority of people treat Lucifer as a mass commercial entertainer, without exploring the subtleties of characters, script n portrayals used 😏

@@PremChand-Salva yeah. It's not the usual commercial mass film. The film has layers. The story is layered, the characters are not one dimensional. Each one has their own motivations and depth.

There are many underrated movies in Tamil cinema. You better watch those movies, if you are interested in story and screenplay wise. Then you can't say acting wise b'coz every industry have that.
