 Corbin is seeing us. Corbin, you can see me. I can see you, can you see me? Yes, yes, yes. Thank you so much for sitting down with us. We've wanted to talk to you for a long time, been massive admirers of you and your talent. And we would have loved to have done it in person, but obviously we don't know when other countries will allow Americans back into the world. But I just want to start off by asking, how did you get into acting? Get into acting, yeah. It's a very long tale. But in Nutshell, in my village, I belong from an extremely rural part of India. There is a state called Bihar. And from state capital, around 200 kilometers away, there is a small village, my village called Belsang. So we don't have access to English medium school. That's why I started in Hindi medium. That's why my English is not that much good. But yes, I can able to communicate my thoughts. I can able to tell my story to you. So there was a festival called Chut. So every year, some Bihari festival. So during that festival, after that festival, my all villages perform a dramatic play, perform a drama. And the drama was the first stepping stone into acting, or my first interest towards the acting. I think that performing Saad is something else. So the story and started from there in my village, Belsang. That's awesome. That's wonderful. Yeah, we... Even not dreaming, dreaming is also impossible from there. I belong from that kind of area. That you are not able to dream about becoming an actor. My part was that much interior and that much rural. Gotcha. But I always say nowadays, if you want to travel, and there was no Google map, but if you have passion, you can travel to your destination. Map is not needed for travelling. The digital map, the Google assistant. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Well, I'm preaching nowadays, I mean, nowadays everyone wants me to have chat, have conversations, some interview, video interview. I'm a bit tired to telling my story, because nowadays I have to thought about what can I speak or what can I say in this interview? Something new, something unique. Yes. I mean, same thoughts, same things. Continues in repeat mode. Yeah. Yes. Yes. No, good. I'm sure you get a lot of interviews, similar questions. Yes. Corbin and I, our first love is acting. We are both, we are actors, so we adore good acting. And we wanted to know when you create a character, is the process the same for you? Do you have a process as an actor, or do you, I just wanna know how you create your characters and is there a particular, like many people are method actors, some people prefer Meisner's method. We just wanna know how you do that. You guys based in US, LA or where? Los Angeles. LA. LA, yes. And I know I have last, maybe three, four, I have seen your reactions about my performance. And I know you guys appreciate me a lot. So thank you so much. You both are very kind towards me. And my humble thanks to you. And what were we talking about? Method acting. Method acting, yes. You were talking about the method, the process of acting, yeah. So I have a problem. During the conversation, I just forget the questions, basic questions, what you asked me. And in between I travel somewhere else and started narrating some other story and something else. So in my sense and in drama school, basically I was from national school of drama. In India, there is a beautiful school, acting school called NSD, national school of drama. Me, Nawaz sir, Irfan sir, Om Sahab, Om Puri sir, Nasruddin sir and so many brilliant actors. They are belong from the same school, same. So, yes, I know in India cinema in early days, 80, 90s, between 80s and 90s, there is basic criteria about actor you have to look good if you are a good dancer and you are looking charming and handsome and smart. That is enough requirement or element for being an actor. But nowadays things are changing because I think audience is also growing due to internet, due to OTT platform, due to access about the world cinema, what is going happening in US, UK, Iranian cinemas and Spain and every part of the world, every part of the film industry. So yes, you are talking about my process and now I'm coming that to that point. Yes, I have a process and I think every actor is a method actor. Someone method is bad, so he act bad. Because without method, you can't do at least performing art. If you are a bad actor, it means your method is a little bit bad. So in my perception, every actor is a method actor. Come back to me, my process. I study, in Ramya school, I study every theory, means Stanislavski, European realism, Rasvi teacher, Chekhov, everything Chekhovs, Lekke, Brecht. And we have a Natu Shastra in India. We also have a brilliant book called Natu Shastra. So Indian method of acting, yes. And yeah, the brilliant book, if possible, you search online, you can find that book, The Indian Method of Acting, written by Prasanna. One of the brilliant teacher we have, he taught me also Prasanna, sir. That's the first time we've heard of that. Yeah, we'll definitely look that up. Called Indian method of acting. Okay. That is brilliant, brilliant book, means extremely necessary for every actor. So okay. So my process and my method include everything. Some Western theory, some Indian theory, so many teachers taught me so many things, so many elements about acting. And once up goes on ke, if you go through so many teachers, and then here you implement every process and then you make your own process, your own technique. Absolutely. So yes, I have my own technique. There is so many contribution, angle, and teaching involving that technique. Yeah, that technique. Absolutely. So you've done so many different roles that we absolutely love. We just saw Ludo about a week or two ago. It was absolutely brilliant. But you've done so many, I think one of the first things we saw was you and Newton, and then we saw you in Stree, and then obviously we saw you in Sacred Games, Mies-Apère, all this different. Gangs. Yeah, gangs of Wassepère. So also extraction. When you sign on to a project, what do you look for? For outside of obviously a good character. What next after that? Is it the people involved, the actors, the directors? What do you look for after you first like a character? What else? What's the next thing you look for in a project? Earlier during the Newton, earlier I was looking for a job only, nothing else. Yeah. Yeah, like most actors. Yeah. Someone hired me, someone gave me a job. Yeah. But after Newton, little bit, not little bit, the completely scenario change after Newton, because in Newton, I got National Award for Newton, a special mention award for Newton, and also Indian media noticed me a lot after Newton, they write me about a lot. And same time, the film fraternity and producers also. And after Newton, I'm extremely busy, from 2017 till 20, I was on autopilot mode. In every year doing seven project, eight project, two, three web series, two, three films. But yes, but nowadays I also look for a character, what I'm doing in the story. Also a story is how much important to tell, because I, in Indian perception, in Indian entertainment perception, we always talk about entertainment, entertainment, entertainment. But what I thought is cinema is beyond entertainment. Yeah. Yes. I mean, it is only a small part of the cinema. Yeah. So nowadays I prefer the story is how much important to tell. And same time, you said it, who is making it, who is directing it, who is producing it, who is backing it. Sometimes you enjoy a good company, a bunch of people you like them. Yeah. You enjoy to be in their company. So, so many factors involves. And same time, I'm not going, I'm not trying to be so intellectual and thoughtful. Money also involves, right now sometimes, there is a huge money involved in any film. And I thought, this is not going to some, extraordinary, in terms of cinema. Yeah. Okay. Yes. Fun. Yeah. Because I can't change content, but you can change context. Hmm. I like that. So I change context. Yes. I like that. Yeah. Yes. Do you, do you prefer working in motion pictures, TV series, or theater, or are they just, you love all of them? Do you have a preference? No, I love all of them. Yeah. I basically, I love theater, because theater gives something, that live performance gives something else to an actor. I figured you would. But same time, yes, but same time, cinema, OTT, the technical medium, that is also brilliant, because in theater, I'm not able to just be there in a scene. During a theatrical performance, you are not allowed to just be there in scene, because you have to communicate, you have to express your emotions, your dialect to the last line of the auditorium. But in cinema, we have technique. So in cinema, I can be there in the scene, just be there, no need to reach anywhere. So cinema allows an actor to just behave, no need to do anything, just behave and just be there. But theater don't, I think, but I love theater. I love theater, because theater, during the performance, you are performing, you are the guiding force, you are the character force, you are the judging force during the performance. And you know how audience react and where we are going. So I remember in my theater days, I think 99 or 98, somewhere in 98, 99, we were performing in Nagpur auditorium called Vasant Rao Chauhan auditorium. And we have a 35 minute, small story. And, oh yeah, thank you. And my wife, my wife gave me something to just lean back. Yeah, it's good. So that day, audience was hilarious. And we, my 200th performance, I think. So we are performing that play around, I mean already 200. So that was more than 200 above soul. So we started improvising during the performance. 39 minute performance goes all around, around one hour. And after one hour, our director, he was in Light Booth. He trying to gesture Kisama up, Khatam karo, just finished it, finished it. And audience was completely in our hand. We moved, so that's why I love, I love theatrical and live performance. But yes, in India, especially in Hindi theater, any actor not able to make their basic needs in theater because in Hindi theater, there is nothing called commercial theater. And no one going to buy a ticket in Hindi theater. That was our collective failure, but yeah. I would love to see you in some theater. That would be phenomenal. Would you ever, like if there was an opportunity to do some theater again, would you ever do it? If the, it was correct and obviously, I know that the infrastructure for theater in India is not like what it is obviously, like in Broadway or Chicago or something like that. Would you ever do that again? Yes, yes, extremely. And I, in fact, I'm planning, I'm planning, not now, but after sometimes I'm planning. It was, last year, I was in UK and saw some Broadway, some performance and that during that performance, my aisa bechayan tha gyaar when I go to stage. So yes, but maybe after some years, maybe after some years. That would be fantastic. Well, I want to talk about Mirza Pur. So, season three, what can you tell us? What, pardon season three? Yeah, what's going to happen? Give us all the spoilers right now. Oh yeah, I'm not the correct person to answer because someone is writing and that is in process of making that narrative script is process of making. So I have also no idea about what is going to happen in season three. But yes, I have a broader idea about season three, a broader, extremely broader idea, not detailed. But yeah, that is during the writing process. Yeah, do you have a favorite character or maybe two favorite characters that you have played, whether it was a TV, film or theater that for you was, I loved being that character. No, I don't think. I love Irfan Khan. I love him a lot. I respect him a lot. But whatever he, means his character, but not writer. No, no, I don't think I have any that kind of thought. Yeah, is there a character you want to play? Like is there a Shakespeare character you want to portray on stage or on film? Not Shakespeare character, but the kind of conflict Shakespeare rights. That conflict that in Macbeth in Othello. So I love that Othello. I love Othello, Iago both. So, but not exact like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I saw your reaction about that film, Gurgaon. You guys see it or maybe promo see it and some you guys made it some reaction about Gurgaon, Gurgaon of my film. Yeah, yeah, we're you're playing the gangster. We haven't seen that yet. Yes, Gurgaon. So during Gurgaon, during the filming of that film, Gurgaon, I much, I mean, what do you call it? I understood Shakespeare. Yeah, during the Gurgaon, I understood Shakespeare better than drama school because that character have a kind of some some past baggage with him. Yeah, I like conflict and sexperian character, but not not yet sure any any character what I want to perform. Yeah, yeah, what is your wife and daughter's favorite film of yours? My wife liked me about a series called powder and and you guys I have no idea where is that powder much before now, of course, Indian drug drama. Oh, that was on around 2000. We are 10, 9 or 10 on Sony television, a series called powder story about drugs in Indian story based in Mumbai. And I was there in a drug lord called Navidansari. Yes, that role also my favorite role character Navidansari. So my wife like the powder series and my daughter like Newton Yeah, no, that's great. Yeah, Newton. I also like Newton. Yes, because in earlier Newton, the Atma Singh, the character of Newton was a little bit cynical, rude, arrogant, a kind of alcoholic officer. And when I discussed to Amit, director Amit Masurkar, and then we thought we make it human. He is also a human who is doing his duty. Yeah, and there is personal personal personal conflict or argument with Newton, because I know today I'm not going to meet this guy in entire my life. So Amit agreed to my idea and thought and then we make him more human. Yeah, he was a great character. Yeah, great character. We've asked this question, I think to every director and actor that we've spoken to and want to know, is there anything you would like to see changed in Indian cinema or anything that you're happy has changed? You mentioned a moment ago, it's gone from just being entertainment to becoming more cinema story art. So I'm just wondering, is there anything you're hoping to see change in Indian cinema or keep going that you like right now? I think what we are hoping or what we are hoping, it's going on, it's changing a lot nowadays. So nowadays the best time for the story teller, for the director, for the technician, for the actors in Indian cinema, we are making a different kind of cinema, different kind of storytelling, not fixed in the formula films and the masala films. So I think it's a really good time for everyone who associated with cinema. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, agree. So you've played, like I said, multitude of different type of characters. With the success of Mirzapur and the fact that you've played a gangster a bunch, I'm betting you get, that's probably what you receive a lot in terms of what people want you to play now is a gangster. Are you conscious of that and wanting to not just now be the guy who comes in and is the tripati from Mirzapur? Are you conscious of making sure you do very different roles now that there's such a successful role of you in Mirzapur? Yes, I'm aware about that and after my next I think four or five films, four or five projects is almost ready. So and I'm not going to play any gangster in at least next eight, nine months. My next project I'm sure next upcoming five films I have a different kind of roles, slice of life. Nowadays maximum but a very powerless kind of character I'm going to come. Yeah. I love powerless character. Generally what I found that every actor needs some powerful character. But I really enjoy doing a performing a powerless character. Which is great because you have such a powerful presence about you. We said it in Mirzapur in our review. The first thing we said when we saw you on screen is that you had a very Marlon Brando-esque feel to you, the Godfather. Did you take any inspiration from them for that character? What? Did you take any inspiration from any, like did you take inspiration from the Godfather? Did that just come out of? Yes, I just remember interesting story about it. Ten years ago when I read powder, so one of my friends told me about some another friend that he just copy Brando and he told me about that. I was a drug lord and kind of intense, serious. So my friend told me about that. You are just maybe copy like a Brando. You are trying to copy him. After that, I just go and collect some DVD and then saw some bits, clips and some scenes of Godfather Brando to see why people are someone thinking about me. And then I know about the great Brando sir. I have a huge respect. But after that 15-20 minute clips, I didn't see anything to the Marlon Brando from his performance. Even last year, I was in a flight from London to Mumbai and a fellow actor with me and he told me about Marl Streep. And there was a film in the flight entertainment and I just saw a Marl Streep performance and I was I mean, she is fantastic. So I have not seen western cinema, non-European American cinema. I have not seen any Hindi blockbuster also. What I prefer to see independent cinema, regional cinema, maybe Malali cinema, Kannada cinema, Titi, Kila court, Angamali diary. So I generally prefer to watch independent or regional Indian cinema or maybe Iranian or European cinema. I may watch Hollywood films or not a Hindi blockbuster films. But I think this is not a very brilliant idea or thought. Being an actor, I have to watch everything and anything. But I am a bit choosy. I can't watch an excellent movie for two hours and two and a half hours. Even that I was a part of that film. Extraction. I just seen my small bit and that's it. I am not interested in the fighting and Kar is going to run away. Yeah. When you film, do you like to rehearse scenes or do you like to just let's film? Let's go. No, I prefer not to rehearse. Just go try it because nowadays we have digital camera. So nothing to worry about this talk and about the money cost. So I just say it. Why just try it. Maybe we achieve something better. You could rehearse and have the best thing happen in rehearsal and then you film and you missed what happened in rehearsal. So you've been part of, I guess now, multiple OTT platforms. I guess Powder, you said was a series as well, right? But Sacred Games and Mizzapur, which one do you like better? I'm kidding. But OTT platforms we've grown to really love because it's giving an opportunity to, I guess you would say non-stars to show their talent and show the world what great acting is. I think Sacred Games and Mizzapur both did that really, really well. What's your view on the OTT platforms? Do you see that as a basically the changing force in Indian cinema right now as getting to do what it wants, including Ludo, which was, I believe, Netflix as well? Yes. I'm agree with you. OTT, yes, making a lot of difference nowadays. In my case, OTT gives me a lot. Even Mizzapur, the first time I was seeing myself in a huge holding or poster in Mizzapur in Sacred Games. So earlier I was there in a cinema and no one was going to put me in a poster, but OTT guys and OTT, they make it happen, they make, because I don't keep so yes, yes, OTT is changing a lot nowadays. If you are not a good actor, because in box office and theater, the opening weekend in India, everyone talking about the opening weekend. What is the opening of Friday, Saturday, Sunday? Money, money. How much film opens with how much earning? And I don't think, I don't understand why people, common people are talking about film collections. I agree. So if producer going to give you money, but in OTT, the opening pressure is not there. If your story is better, if your content is brilliant and performance is brilliant, then audience is going to love it. Ask some stupid questions. Your channel name is Stupid Reaction. Nonsense and stupidity. Yeah, we trick people with entertainment. Nonsense and stupidity. And now that nonsense and stupidity is global phenomena everywhere happening. Yes, so we noticed something. Yeah. Why are so many of your characters the exact same last name as you? That is also haunting me. I think we are shooting the last leg of the film. So earlier I know that my name is Satu Bhaiya. When we are shooting that fall happening part in the bridge, the railway track bridge. And Anurag told me about his name. You know why I save you because you Rahul, myself Rahul. And then he told me Rahul Satendra Patil. So the entire filming, I was not aware about my character Satu Bhaiya Patil. The last day of shooting Anurag also told me, you just say it. My full name is something, something Tripati. Now, now any director going to name or surname me Tripati, I just denied, you know. That's hilarious. What do you say or how do you feel about the fact that people think your neck deserves an Oscar for your performance in Mizipur? I just respect that guy who makes that memes about the neck. Brilliant audience and might be a brilliant observer who observes minute details. But in other two, three interviews, I always told them because for that small neck movement, being an actor, you have to involve your head to toe, including soul. Yes. Yes. Then that small movement happened. When you have communicate everything in a small movement, small gesture. One of my guru who told me the teacher name is Bawa Karanth. So now he's no more. Through minimum, create maximum. Being an actor, you have to know about the economy of gesture. Yes. How much I had to invest my gesture. Yes. So during my drama school, I was not a brilliant student. I just skipped from a study to why they're trying to teach me and trying to say me read a lot. But nowadays I prefer, I regret that I was wrong that time in drama school. When I have no need to study, but nowadays I'm trying to study and I am more a lot. Because acting needs a lot of study. Now I realize. Yeah. Yes. That's so important to hear you say because I think for new actors, many of them think if I get to the place where I'm successful, I'm working all the time, I can just, I can relax now because people are sending me scripts and I can work. But that's a very dangerous trap. Actors should always be learning and growing. And one of the things we are so impressed by with your acting is that you can do comedy and drama equally well. And you do know that's not very common. There's many good drama actors that cannot do comedy well. Never seen Danny DeLuz do a comedy. Yeah. It's true. So I assume you enjoy doing comedies. Yes, because you've done several. Yes, yes. Yeah, I enjoy it because in my earlier days, my beginning of my theater days, I was a comedy actor. And during the even in my serious scene, I make something funny and people laugh. And one day my director just slapped me. He was having a serious scene happening front of the stage and you are behind the scenes doing something comedy. So that lesson taught me a lot. If a performance needs seriousness, you have to be extremely serious. Because being an actor, we always try to be noticed in any case, in any chance. We can do any extra. And someone, the audience may be notice us. So in earlier days, we realized that we are here for something else. In Bingding, we are for identity. People know us. We are actors. After some years, maybe we are for our self satisfaction, some money, sometimes something spiritual. Yes. So I enjoy both nowadays comedy and serious both. And I'm a very obedient actor. I'm a completely director actor. If my director tells me anything, I very seriously follow that. When I give any suggestion to my any director, and during that suggestion, I tell also tell them if you don't like, just neglect my idea. Just say no to me. That is not going to hurt me. Because I know you are the captain. Yes. Yeah. That's brilliant. What's your favorite and least favorite thing about acting? Favorite thing about acting? Your travel part and your hotel part just weird by producers. Free traveling and free hotel estate. That is the best part of acting. Yeah. And another least favorite least favorite early morning suit call. Oh, yeah. Eight early morning suit call. We have to leave hotel because one thing I in my method of acting one thing very important and necessary for me. I have to sleep at least eight hours in the night. I have shooting tomorrow anything that is just like an advertisement film. My basic requirement is eight hours sleep. Yeah. Yeah. That's important. Yeah. That's hard. How do you how do you do with an all night shoot when you have to do shoot all night long? You sleep properly in the day before or you just stay up? No, nowadays I'm requesting all my director and producer don't make overnight shoot entire night. Just make it 12 one maybe extreme to extreme to two AM not more than that. Yeah. And nowadays, people agree with that. Okay, you can go around to even miss three is three. There was so many nights. All night shoots. Yeah. And I'm a was extremely kind and helpful. He left me two o'clock sir. I'm job. What I say actor is also a creative laborer. Also a laborer creative laborer. So after sometimes my creative person go my laborer are there on the set. So I tell them now my creative is not here. My laborer is here. Right. Creativity is gone now. Yeah. Now labor is here. Well, I want to thank you so much for talking to us. I want to kind of end this off here with a little bit of a rapid fire questions more stupid questions. These are just stupid. But yeah. Besides your character in Meezapur, who is your favorite character in Meezapur? Rasika Bina, my wife, Rasika Dugan. Oh, she was phenomenal. Every actor is fantastic in Mirzapur. I love them. They all are my friend. But Siga character was brilliant. Yeah, especially in season two. She was the driver both of the entire season two. Yeah, she was. I see you're drinking something there. What is your favorite alcoholic beverage? Earlier old monk Indian rum. Earlier when I was in three, but nowadays no, no, I'm just just water. I'm drinking now. Oh, gotcha. I thought it was a nowadays from March onwards, March that the COVID during that COVID period, I left everything the smoking, alcohol, everything. That's great. Parathas or Italy for breakfast? Italy, Italy, because I come from the Paratha Paratha site north India. But I love Italy. That is southern part of our country. Yeah, I made I made those a couple months ago. They're delicious. If you this scenario will never happen and you wouldn't do that. If you are in Mumbai and wanted to dress some brilliant Italy, there is a space called Dakshinayan restaurant called Dakshinayan in Juhu. They make some brilliant Italy. I will make a note. We will be back whenever Americans are allowed in again. If you only had hours to live, what movie would you watch? Obviously, you wouldn't actually do that. But what movie would you watch? Do something else. Are you a fan of Harry Potter? Have you ever watched Harry Potter? No, no, no. My daughter watched Harry Potter, but I know. What? Ask your daughter what house you're in. What one Indian movie would you recommend to a foreigner? You can name a couple. Pansing Tomer? Oh, okay. Yeah, it's Earphone. Yeah. For sure. Favorite Hollywood? That's one of our favorites. Earphone is absolutely incredible. Favorite Hollywood actor? Any male or female? My mirrorless trip. Yes. And actor, actor, actor, male actor, male actor. I have no idea. That's why. I mean, in my entire life, maybe I've seen three to four Hollywood films in my entire life. Have you seen Gangs of New York? No, no. I would recommend that one. I think you would enjoy that one. Yes, I can see for you. Yeah. Favorite food? Favorite food, food. Food? Yeah, North Indian, North Indian, some behind it is called Dal rice, Dal rice, Bhoji. And, well, you just said, I actually wanted to ask you this other question. Do you have any plans to act in any more Hollywood films? I know you did a small part in extraction. Do you have any more plans to do some more Hollywood stuff? I never plan anything. My entire journey and my entire acting career is completely organic without planning. I never thought in a wild dream is someone from U.S. you both guys, Rick and Corbin, one day going to talk to me. Neither did we, but we're very happy it happened. Yeah. I never plan anything and I never planned for that Hollywood also. If it happened, it's happened okay, fine. Yeah, yeah. Absolutely. And last question. Why, we've asked multiple people this, why do you think white people, foreigners are so terrible in Indian cinema? Look, what we are, we are earlier, a kind of colony, British colony. I don't think I'm not the expert of that area, but in Indian cinema, not a foreigner. I belong from a state called Bihar. I'm a Bihari actor. So in routine Bollywood cinema, they also stereotype Bihari. They make them a person who would always eat Paan, who always speak something loud, some foul language and some different kind of body language. So in earlier Indian cinema, they used to make a stereotype of everything. So that's why maybe they make foreigners also like that. We heard they just hired the white. If you've seen some contemporary films or some independent indie films or festival films, so they are not treating about something else. We got to talk to Abashik about it and he said it's mostly because they hire local or tourists sometimes, because if you hire from Hollywood, it's much too expensive for just a small part like that. And so that's what they said. But they are not from, they are from UK. That is a film called Mimi. Mimi. Laxman Ute Kharj director and Mimi. Me and Krithi Sanon is there. And in that film, there are two brilliant actors from UK. Okay. We'll have to look them up. Good to know. Yeah. Brilliant experience working with them. Well, if you ever hear of the need for two white actors, just let them know that you know two of them right over here. Well, I want to thank you so much for now. I am your official agent here in India in Bollywood, not Bollywood. I don't like to say Bollywood. Yeah, because it sounds like a copy. Yeah. I generally prefer to say in the cinema. Absolutely. Film industry. So I am your unofficial agent here. Thank you. We'll sign the contract. You can get 20%. It'll be fine. Thank you so much for talking to us. We really appreciate it. It was a massive pleasure. Just everything we expected from you as respect we have for you as an actor. We just love everything you do. And we can't wait to see basically everything that you come out with. We look forward to any film that you are in. It's exciting for us, Rick. Thank you so much, you both, Rick and Corbin. I generally prefer a live talk, face to face talk. Yeah, absolutely. Too much. I'm interested in this virtual talk. But thank you so much. You both are very kind to me and next time when everything is right. We meet here in Mumbai and maybe in US. I was there in LA for my film Newton. Oh, really? Yes. Absolutely. Yeah. If you come here, absolutely. Yeah. And we just, we genuinely, you have become for us not just one of our favorite actors in Indian cinema, but you have become for Corbin and I, one of our favorite actors, period. And it's a joy for us to not only watch you, but to spread the word, especially here in the United States, because that's something we're really passionate about, that people in the West recognize the greatness of some of the artistry coming out of India. And you are one of those artists that's at the forefront of that. So thank you for what you do. Thank you. Thank you, Rick. Your words make me humble and emotional also. Thank you so much. Thank you. I have one interest. I have no idea who is going to see so long video. So you can. We have a lot of stupid people that watch the whole thing. Oh, yeah. No, no, it's extremely good for me also. You can make it crisp because we are so many. This is kind of a personal talk to us. Yeah. So you can, you can free to make it crisp because I think no one going to watch a long video. Oh, they will. Oh, they will. Let's see. Let's see. Yeah. Well, thank you so much. And thank you to your wife and daughter for helping us out as well.
