 I don't know when we're dropping this video, but when we're filming it today is day one wishing Ramadan Mubarak and Ramadan Kareem to everybody celebrating Ramadan. Happy Ramadan. I don't know what the official was. Yeah, but I was told that the way to wish someone a happy Ramadan is to say Ramadan Mubarak or Ramadan Kareem. They both mean Ramadan Mubarak. Wonderful, glorious Ramadan. Hey, welcome back to our Stupid Directs with the Corbyn. I'm Rick. And you can follow us on Instagram, Twitter, for more juicy content. Thanks some Patreon phones, good times, subscribe to Like the Button. Whoa. That's a pony. And today we have another video from the O2India channel. Yeah. And they did the Prabhudeva video and your KS Chitsara. Yep. And this is the follow up to the Prabhudeva. So it's another Prabhudeva one. Whoa. So they had two. Well, well, well. Well, at least that I know. Maybe they have more. Maybe they told me that because they had sent a message thanking us for that first one and that they had more, but I don't remember them saying anything about it. But obviously, go check out their channel, subscribe to the channel. They've two interviews we've seen so far are fantastic. Great interviews. And this is more with Prabhudeva. Uvasi. Uvasi. So I'm guessing this one's more about as opposed to the whatever that one's called Mukubala or something. Yeah, Mukubala. I think that's correct. And so this one's more about this song. Uvasi. Uvasi. Take it easy. Uvasi. That one. That's right. You know, that's why most of you tune in here is for the hot covers by Corbin Miles. It's probably for me butchering words. That too. Audemirates. I don't even know what he made me say. I know. I can't even remember what it was. I don't think it was anything bad. No, I don't think it was either. But you know what I found interesting about that was it's not even, we thought we were getting it right by saying Mahesh Kale. And it's not even that either. Kale. Yeah, it's Mahesh Kale. Kale. Yeah. Yeah. We're white. Yeah. Here we go. We're sorry for that. Very, very sorry. Please take care on your screen. Okay. Uvasi. Uvasi. Take it easy. Uvasi. The song, well, dance only. That is no thinking at all. When we hear this and actually what you know, word dances. Italy, 70, 80 feet height like that. The eye climb with my dancer. 70, 80 feet. No big deal. Probably no safety harnesses or anything. I never dance for the music. If I am dancing from my body, the music has to come. It has to be like that, I feel. It's very obvious. It was tough for me as because not dancing nothing and standing what to do only. I don't know. Tracking milestones of an incredible journey. Standing 30 years. Rehman Music Sheets. Hi friends. In this episode, how about a twist in the tale? It's there for you all. So do watch the episode till the end and capture the moment of the day. Check the Book of Rayleigh from Gentleman. The first song when Prabhu Deva dance to Rehman's magic. Today. Taking his heel moosey and orgy helped him further enhance his signature style dancing with impeccable comic timing. That's great that we'll never knew in that song team Prabhu was not just breaking into dance but perhaps breaking the law as well. That does not surprise me. Roads only we used to do. Some places we didn't get permission also. Very common. Gorilla filming. We would dance. Then police come. Police always take the managers into the car. Blame it on Rohan. What happened? They took me away. You all learned to be like that and I'll have fun. And in the roads that time. Oopasi. Oopasi. Take it easy. Oopasi. One thing that you see there was a boat was there. A boat taste the freedom of our company. So Shankar sir told can you go there. Okay sir we just climbed behind. Behind they kept that sticks under. We climbed and we sat there. That time the police came. The managers were there. When I came in the manager was not there. He was in the train station. Literally 70-80 feet height like that. I climbed with my dancer. What did I do? Climbed and we did it. There's no rock or anything. And one more thing that the lift was going down. I told okay take ready. More real sir. I think take. But lift went down. That's the first time that gravity. Now when the lift goes down you can't do anything. I was like stuck only. You got better need. Anything nothing happens. Okay take next. That's it. Again that's up to Shankar sir's idea and Rahman sir's. That lyric was also something very unique. What to say that. I can't recreate in the words. I can't recreate in the visual. I can't recreate in the words only that those times. Because what a memorable song and days were that. Put the song. Well dance only. That is no thinking at all. When we hear this and actually what you know. Word. Dance. Did it require substantial amount of rehearsals? That's what I'm thinking. I didn't do much of real self. I don't think he needs to. Because the music was inside of him. Yeah it just comes to him. It was. It just oozes out of him. Yeah he just. What he said the NFZ, the M. I'll just create as we go. Just start the camera as I'm ready. Some electric bass. The fastness was there in me. Normally when I do songs. I don't dance. I'm just keeping next movement in the mind. Because I used to dance. Even if I forget. My body has to dance. Like that only I used to dance. Till now I do the same thing. I never. Sometime I never. Dance for the music. If I'm dancing. From my body the music has to come. It has to be like that I feel. Then only it's correct. I never. Keep. What I must do in the mind. I never did it. Like that. I never do that. So with that. Geniuses and masters at the craft. I like that man. Beautiful madness. I don't think he ever has a creative block. No he's like Ramon. Remember we asked Ramon about. Do you ever have writer's block? And he kind of he just went. No what's that? The song Urvasi evolved around a bus. Director Sagar conceived this rather unusual idea. A bus made of glass. Our director made it happen. The idea was to do greater justice. To the long interludes Rahman had created in the song. Dancing on glass required nerves of steel. But no barrier was big enough. No challenge was difficult enough. For the young and daring Prabhudeva. Then we saw I went wow. See my point is. Director did something. Wow. Now what I must do is my thing. I don't even enjoy later. But how I must justify now. In my mind that was there. But that was not so tough too. Because whenever the glass was going. It was not moving. Whenever dancing standing. And moving as well like this. So first of all lighting a bus. And then dancing on a glass bus. Can be very challenging. No not for us. One time we were the bus for going. I was front standing like that. First time in young days. No no no. I'll stand. Just tell the bus to move. That's it. The young days. They don't care. Now if you tell me somebody. No no I won't do it like that. Mind that time. So many experience was there. So what happens when we dance. So much in between. Something it does it and go. That got appreciation more than my dancing. But I was not worried about anything. If the song has to be good. Anything we have to do that. Because as a music director. He has given something. That we have to justify. All were iconic song. That last shot and then we did like. For the song dance. That's it. Either only. Matter. In that song only. That sound only made us to make so much dancing. I think. The sound made us to make dancing. Mixing comedy with dance. Was gradually becoming your identity. And Urmasi gave you a lot of scope in that direction. How was everything planned? I don't know where I got inspired. Where it came I don't know. Because I was so small. Might be. I didn't know. I didn't know what I shouldn't do. I never do a song. This comedy must come like this. Because I never do it. I never done like that. People are expecting like this. I must do like this. Of course the expectation. I must give my 200% to it. But I never. Forcingly I don't do any comedy or anything. Forcingly I don't do any comedy or anything. If it comes it's okay. Whatever I did. It's not like that. I planned it and did it. In my real thing we do it. If it comes okay. Otherwise I don't plan. Sir this is my argument. No I never do it. I just go with the flow. That's it. After Mukabla and Urmasi. Audiences across India. Started wondering if you had any bones in your body. If you were jelly or rubber. They even called you India's Michael Jackson. As a dancer. As an actor. Did you feel a sense of arrival? I was not into those things. I was fully dancing. Okay somebody used to say. Okay okay. Then I used to go to dance. That's it. I never say it. Okay like that. I never enjoyed it. I was in my own dancing. Dancing dancing dancing. My mind was also dancing only. So whatever somebody. Somebody liked you today. They are asking like. Okay okay. Okay what song is. I used to be like that. After Mansarakanu only. I was like little bit. I was okay. I think this is my profession. I have to go with that. Only I came to know. Like that. Before that I was very. What to say. No no no. I want to be with my mother. This is why I am. He's a mama's boy. Like that I was. Can I get paid to be with my mom? Excellent. I was not in that zone only. Okay. They are telling okay. Since its origin. Musicians across the planet. Have interpreted the song. Even Suresh Peters. Who sang the original with Rehman. Couldn't resist the temptation. Yes. Urvasi continues to thrill today. As well. As it did in the 90s. When an iconic song like. Urvasi gets recreated. Does it add to its shelf life. Or it spoils the original. No no. I don't think so much. I think in a nice way only. Perpetuates. They are trying to do their. They want to give a tribute. Or happy with that. They just want to do their best. They are doing best. Might be. Might be it's gone wrong. It's not good. That is different. But definitely they won't do the song. For just to make it down. In their mind. People might say. Why are they doing that? Recreating and all. But I don't go into those. So much. Enjoy. Whatever it happens. Enjoy. Why to. Enjoy. That's it. If. I'm dancing. My son is dancing. The same thing. If we do it. That's also. Enjoy. No. I like that. Anyway. More. With multiple Grammys under his belt. Will I am decided to collaborate with Rehman. 20 years after its release. Will I am recreated Urusee in 2014. As it's my birthday. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. I must spend my money. I have no idea. I did not know. Charts in the UK and Australia. Not even sure I've ever even heard that song. Me too. When they told someone more song has come. What is that song? It's my birthday something. I was happy but. Urusee was better. But I thought. Wow. See the achievement of Rahman sir. Where it went like that. I was thinking like that. Acting was scary. I suffered a lot in that film. Because I don't know when. When I was acting. Where to. Telling them where to keep my hand. And where to see. When you are. The opposite guy. Whatever. How to react only. I don't know. It was very tough for me. It was a nightmare for me. That's why actors. How did you. Go through training. No preparation. I was shooting. Shooting. Shooting. One day I was acting. That's it. No preparation. What there will be. The director. I want to thank the director only. Thanks to him. That's where she kept changing right. Into different colors. Yeah. A soft romantic number. It was the first song sung by Unni Krishnan. And it won him the national award. As the best singer. Director Shankar's visualization was quite unusual. Instead of dancing. He made Prabhu sit and sing. For Prabhu. This became a tough nut to crack. He just couldn't imagine romancing. His heroine without dancing. I was not dancing only. We were walking only. Most of. Like walking shots. And I was like. And that was the first song I was. In my lifetime. Even while choreographing. Also all dancing songs only I have done. Well that's for first song. I am standing and not doing anything. And walking. Living like that. It was tough for me actually. For me. Because not dancing. Nothing. And standing. What to do only I don't know. When the girl is singing. What I must do only I don't know. I was just. What I must do. She is singing. What I must do. I don't know what to do. Might be choreographer also. But coming in the frame. Like. Whether to see or not. It was very tough for me. In the next film. Prabhu was not only dancing and acting. But choreographing too. His choreographing won him his first national award. With stories behind Minsara Kanewi. Or Sapne. In our next episode. Prabhu Deva will be back. Stay with us. And now the twist. I don't dance. Keeping next movement in the mind. Because I used to dance. Even if I forget. My body has to dance. Like that only I used to dance. Till now I do the same thing. I never. Sometime. I never. Dance for the music. If I am dancing. From my body. The music has to come. It has to be like that I feel. Do you agree. That this indeed was the moment of the day. Is your choice different. Whatever your mind says. Write it in the comment section. Another good video. Yeah. And there's apparently another one. Maybe have even more. I don't know. That's off to you guys. Keeping people engaged. Yeah that's. It's an absolutely. Zero shock. That he. Doesn't really think about. Like his next move. Yeah. Like he just. Because it's obvious that the music just kind of flows through. Absolutely. Like just like a great guitarist or a great singer. Right. Like they don't really have to think. They don't even think about it. It's. It's a care who's saying. We say it doesn't look like he's. Obviously comes from years and years of training and training and training. But. He can literally just. Yeah. He is the instrument. Yeah. And I'm sure. His choreography when he actually has to put things down. So that all the other dancers doing the same moves. I'm sure his choreography style is always the same. It's. Improvisational. And what does the music and form my body and what comes out of me. As I'm improvising. I like that. Let's keep that. I like that. Let's keep that. Yeah. Unless he gets a very particular direction from. The director that says when we do this I need this. Yeah. That at the moments for the day for me or there's two times where. He said he used the word justify and that for me is a big ding ding ding ding ding. Because all. I like to refer to elevated artistry which is artistry that reaches the level of fine art. And the peak the creme de la creme of artistic expression. Is is he. He like all great artists is looking for justification. Is what I'm doing doing justice to the song is it doing justice to what production design is provided for me. Like he said they gave me a glass bus. Okay. Whatever I do now I need to justify what I do and use what they've they've given me and that's that's just that that goal. That's inherent. It's not even thought out. It's everything I do is going to reach a level of excellence. That's justifiable and does justice to what we're collaborating on. He's. Yeah. And he's good as. Obviously to him to like struggle with the acting part of it because he was just like I was choreographing and then they were like. Not a surprise. It's the exact. I mean yeah it's. You have the exact. Just the same challenge if you have an actor. Who is now having to dance. They're going to be like I mean this is a whole other universe man. I'm like what I'm doing. I find it funny that he said reacting was the thing that was most difficult for him. Yeah. Which is so interesting. It is interesting. It's because in dance and maybe it's different because he's usually the lead but in dance you have to react to well but. Yeah you do but it's a plan that out. You get to plan it out and it's also informed by this external thing in the music versus just moment to moment that is. See the music is predictable. You hear the song and you have an. The minute it starts you at least know what the tempo is going to be and the interactions even though you know the lines you're not exactly sure what's going to be given to you. Yeah. And that's why that's why actors are trained to. React and listen I heard Dustin Hoffman recently referring to Marlon Brando and what Brando like to do was watch candid camera because that really showed you people in the moment and the best thing about improv is not just to keep you quick on your feet but improvisation makes you not act and when people are told the most normal thing in the world to do is to walk or stand and wait in line at a restaurant but if you have someone in front of an audience you just tell them stand. And then you ask them to walk. It's weird people suddenly forget how to walk. They go right arm right leg at the same time because they're being watched and on the spot just all the natural normal things once you're on camera on stage go. So I get it. Yeah. That's something that was never an issue for me with acting was just being natural. It was actually more of a struggle for theater acting for me is because I my tendency is to be much smaller much more natural and you and for stage you need to be bigger. You do. But what's wonderful to be naturally bigger. Yeah. But what's wonderful now is theater acting has really become as grounded as film acting unless it's stylized. But most if you went and you saw and you saw Denzel and Austin doing forgot the name of the play they did on Broadway. But it would have been as grounded as they were on set. But sometimes in stage like you need to do different gestures. Oh yeah. You need to play to the back of the room. Especially musical theater. Yes. And that that's something that was much more foreign to me and much more difficult for me to do. It's hard to justify those things. Yeah. It really is. And like normal just conversation. It's quite it's it's something that I've never really had to like think about training or anything like that. Even though I have done training it's just the same. I'm sure it's obviously same with you. It's just it just comes very natural to me to. It's just comes like a conversation. That's why I've never subscribed to a particular like method. Right. You know certain things I can take from and do that kind of stuff. Yeah. I think I saw this quote from I'm forgetting his name but the lead in succession. Oh Cox. Yeah. Brian Cox. He says he hates methods. Yeah. He does. He I think it was just recently he said I don't subscribe to all that American like mumbo jumbo or bullshit or something. No. He said bullshit. Yeah. That's Brian Cox. Yeah. And then he was like if I if I feel I react. Yeah. And he does not the whole because. I what's his name dog gone it. His son the other the lead in that he is full blown method. Yeah. And Cox is Cox is like to quite a phrase from succession Cox is like fuck off. Yeah. I mean you don't need to be the character all the time you son of a bitch. That's Cox. It's really just what works for you. Yeah. And I don't criticize other people. No. Because it works for some people. Right. I mean we wouldn't have Daniel Day-Lewis if he didn't. Yes. And I do they're who knows. I may face a role sometime that I think to myself. Holy crap. If I don't fully submerge twenty four seven. I don't know that I'm going to I'm going to get that. Some accents I've got to do that. Some accents are so hard I must be in that accent for days. Yeah. And I'll apologize to family and friends and say I'm sorry but I'm going to sound like a moron for the next several days because I got to stay in this accent. I'll lose it if I don't. Austin Butler. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah. Yeah. So anyways I'm sure it's the exact same way with him and dance and it's just like fucking second. Doesn't even have to think. Yeah. It's absolutely. Anyway. Great video. Go check out their channel. Because they do good work too. Let us know what other videos we can react to down below.
