 I am confident what I saw was legit. This guy, British guy, is interviewing Tom Holland about Spider-Man. And very early on, says to him, he says, why are you talking in a British accent talking to me? Because they're British, so he says, why are you talking in a British accent talking to me? And Tom looks at his, I think he looks over it like the people he's with as assistant or the people in his manager and he goes, what do you mean? He says, well, because, you know, Spider-Man, you know, he's, why are you talking in a British accent right now? He says, because I'm British. What? And then he goes into his English accent and he says, yeah, for Spider-Man, I have to do this, but when I'm Tom Holland, I'm me, it's because Peter Pan, I mean, Peter Parker lives in Queens and I'm from London. The guy genuinely thought he was an American doing an effective British accent while he was talking to him in the interview. And you could see Tom Holland's face, he's trying to not show the guy, oh, it was, it's pretty bad. Yikes. Yeah. Like do some research. No kidding. Come on, you're interviewing the guy. At least know his nationality. But Tom Holland is a spot on American accent. Just. Actors keep direction with some corporate. You do a pretty good American accent. No. Yeah. So I'll tell you what. I can do an Australian. Brits. Got it on the Bobby. One on Australia. I'm sorry for two things. I'm on the Bobby Crocodile Dumb Date. These are equally insulting your culture these days. The first thing I'm sorry for is all of the COVID stuff because it's really bad. Equally bad is what just happened to you through the auspices of Corbin Miles. Crocky. Do you like my Australian? That booty. What? What did you say? What is my wife doing? That booty? That booty. That booty. Oh. She was being, she was being, the crocodile had to say, oh, look at that beauty. Isn't it gorgeous? Yeah. Like a beauty? Oh yeah. And he crocodile he loved. She was a beauty. His son is identical to him. Oh my goodness. Both of his kids are gorgeous. I love both of his kids. Bindi, did you watch Bindi when she did Dancing with the Stars? No. She did a tribute dance to her dad that made everybody, I'm still needing to hydrate from the amount I cried watching her do that dance. It would have been great to see Steve Irwin and his son as identical in terms of they look identical and their personalities are the same. He'd be so freaking proud of his kids right now. Anyways, today we've got a Ranbir answers questions from fans. Oh sweet. So he did a interview with, say her name? Anupama Chopra. Oh, I know her. From Thumb Companion. Yep. But I think he did a sit down with her and then there was an audience. And so they got to ask him questions about the craft and other things like that. Excellent. And so he kind of answers them. Cool. And that's what we're going to listen to right now. Groovy. Okay, guys. Let's go. Hi, Ranbir. Hi. Manu. Aashay. Aashay. Are you aspiring actor? Writer. Writer. Lovely. Yeah. We don't have many of you in our field anymore. Thank you. Every writer wants to direct a film. So like, you know, they come as a director. But thank you. I hope you have some good material. Yeah. So my question is, many actors say that what they look for in a script is a great character and amazing story. But when we approach any actors, we have to go through a manager. And manager, they have their own requirement. So they ask for three or four things. One of them is a director. Who's the director? Who's the producer? Who's the investor? Is there a studio on board? So you think that a manager is the right person to judge a script? No, no. They're not judging a script. How I've lived my life, I can't speak about anybody else. I've never had a manager that way. Anybody who offers me a film messages me straight out. But I think more than just the director and character, again, I'll speak for myself, I think what you really look for is if the director or the writer have anything to say through the story. Are they just making this film because they want to make a movie? Are they just making this film because they have the money or the backing of a studio? Or really that director has something to say, you know, through the story. And I think that's important. So this manager world I don't really understand. I get a lot of offers from new filmmakers and sometimes you can't hear them because, you know, you're already so busy working on your current projects. So you miss out, I think. I don't think it's arrogance, but you miss out on new stories or new characters on something that I can, you know, do something which will improve my career as an actor. But avoid these managers. You know, always try and reach the director if you can't reach the actor. You know, at least get a director on board. But managers are quite detrimental. My name is Siddharth. I'm Siddharth. Kamasha has been a wake-up call for a lot of people including me. So has there been a wake-up call moment in your life where you, via a film or an incident, where you aspire to do something radically different along with acting, of course, but something that you aspire to do after that film or an incident? I think my life-changing moment came only after I came back from film school when I assisted Mr. Bansali on black, you know, when the shit got real. All this while I was dreaming of being an actor or director. But now I'm in this big bad world of films, you know. I'm seeing Amitabh Bachchan, Rani Mukherjee, Sanjay Bansali. I'm seeing all these great artists at work. And I realize, like, this is not easy. There is lots to do. It's the time that really built an ambition inside me. So I think my apprenticeship in black, that long and half years, was a defining moment in my life. Thanks. Hi, my name is Tripanna. Are you... What are you? Currently I'm working in luxury, but I'm joining my mates. Oh, nice. Hopefully see you more often. Firstly, I really liked Roy. I don't know how many of you will agree to me, but I... I also don't agree to you. That is a true fan. A true fan. I really enjoyed it. I really liked Roy. I think I fight with people when they say they don't enjoy it. My question is a little technical regarding the acting thing. Film companies unfiltered me. They did a thing with Ayushman and Parinithi. Parinithi had a point of view that acting should be little silly and not, like, real or subtle. And Ayushman, on the other hand, had a point of view that it should be no real. He can't act silly. What category would you follow? Well, I think actors should be malleable. You know, sometimes a tone of a character is filming. Like, in a Raskumar-Hirani film, I cannot do the acting. I do an India's movie. And vice versa. So, every film comes with its own tone. And as an actor, and a lot of you aspiring actors here, is to understand the tone is very important. Sometimes a lot of days are passed and then you realize, Oh man, this film has this tone. And that tone helps you a lot. Because that tone will give you the emotion, will give you the same thing with the TV series. You know, how to say it, how to perform it, how much physically you need to be present in this film. So, I think an actor has to be malleable to both the tones. If he just does one tone kind of acting, then he'll become very stale, very soon. Hi, Alvi. What's your name? Shubham. My name is Shubham. So, what has been your inspiration? Like, you have been successful in films like Talkstar, Murphy and other. So, what has been your inspiration to work so hard and what has been the motivating factor? Motivating. To be good at what you do. It's the only thing I'm decent at is the movies. And I'm kind of above average in football. So, if I'm playing a football game on a Sunday or if I'm acting on a film set, I have a team desire to be good at it. You know, to surprise myself. And it makes me feel alive. And it comes from the part, you know. Getting inspired in this film industry is a luxury. You don't get inspired by every film you do. When you're inspired, then it's all easy. But the thing is, when you're not inspired, how do you make it work then? Then you really have to do it. It just becomes medium work day by day of building it and making it... Working with someone that you don't work well with? ...some sense out of what you're doing. Yeah. So, yeah. And do you think Rockstar was your best film ever? Film, I don't know. You know, because a lot of people have a certain perception that probably the last 30 minutes they've come together. Some people are really swayed by it. And I get a lot of love from Rockstar. But my favorite personal favorite film is Wiccupshead. It's a film that... It's a character that I really connected with because I was that lost, aimless guy. You know, I befriended Ayan on that film and he's my best friend today and he's such an important collaborator for me for cinema. So, Wiccupshead would be my favorite. Hi, I'll be Hitesh this side. Hi, Hitesh. First of all, thank you so much for Tamash. It has literally changed my life. It literally changed my life. A lot of Tamasha fans are here. No, it has really changed my life. It has seriously changed my life. So, my question is in regard to Tamasha and Rockstar only. So, how do you analyze the mental state of a character when you play a character? It's really difficult to understand the mental state like Tamasha for itself. It's a very complicated mental state that people go through. While reading the script, I don't think it's possible to get that... Did you have you read this script? Yeah, I have. Yeah, because I think the script is out. Yeah, it is out. It is out. So, it's really difficult to understand the mental state. How do you analyze the mental state? Again, it comes through collaborations, whatever collaborators you have on the film, director being number one and then a lot of other people. But like, say for example, if I was doing Tamasha, Tamasha would not have been possible if me and Imtiaz didn't go on the journey of Rockstar. Because of that, there are certain things I understood about his mind about what he's trying to say. Like for example, that scene in the end, in Tamasha, if you just gave me that on a piece of paper, I would probably say it in a very different way. Imtiaz wrote that with a lot of care, with a lot of understanding of what this character must be going through, which he over a period of time instilled in me. He used to go for long walks with me before we started the film and he used to constantly talk about where it's head. Who's this guy? And he's not someone who you know for sure, that's me. But let's keep talking about him, he used to travel somewhere, I remember he had gone to Japan or China or somewhere and he wrote a scene, which actually was the beginning of Tamasha, which we changed, where he's talking to a Chinese girl who's escorting him to his flight. And he's talking some stupid stuff to her because he's talking in his language and she can't understand him. But she's also looking at him in a way that she's understanding his plight. Now things like this is not in the film, and it may sound very pseudo-intellectual to you. But then you slowly understand this guy's psyche or where this director is pushing this film. You know this guy is going deeper, he's going deeper than we did in Rockstar also. Rockstar was still intense, a little bit on the surface, easy emotion, where it was going deeper because it was nothingness. Go to nothingness is hard. But it's a process and you don't realise it. Today I can talk about it, but while I was doing Tamasha, I myself didn't realise that we are going quite deep into this character's psyche. Today I can speak about it, that time I didn't know. Hi, my name is Anamika. So there was this very recent interview with Raju Masand and in that interview you guys were talking about Sanju. So during Sanju you had asked Raju Rani if you should work on her voice. And he had said that look do it, very caricatures. So why is that? Why is method acting so caricatured in India? Because when Daniel Davis was doing Lincoln, he worked for months to just, you know, master that voice. I don't think a different character... I don't know what he meant, that method acting is caricatured. We were speaking about Sanjay Dutt per se. Of course we cannot compare ourselves to all myself to what Daniel Davis did in Lincoln. That's another level. But we did this to our understanding and best of our capabilities. There was a time that, you know, when we started working the 6-8 month prep of trying to understand the character, how to play Sanjay Dutt, somebody who's still so relevant today, who people love, who people copy, people mimic. I didn't want this performance to be bordering on mimicry and caricatured. And sometimes what happens is when there's too much of the nuances, you know, they were looking at the way he was... Looks like an impression, right. ...all that stuff, it's a little jarring. You know, when you come and see the film Sanju and when you discover it, yeah, in the first few seconds it would be weird, okay? This is another actor portraying this actor on screen. But then my job is to make you forget that. Now you have empathy for this character that you're watching on screen. Like Jamie Foxx is right. And after you realize, this was Sanjay Dutt's life. But when you're watching the film, you have to believe that this was the actor's life who's performing. And sometimes, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe, you know, in hindsight, when you all watch the film and when an audience's reaction actually comes out, maybe I would feel shit. You know, I should have worked more on my voice. I should have done more of the Sanjay Dutt mechanisms. But right now we feel this is the best that we could do. But we await for 29 June, the release date of the audience will respond to it. Hi, Ramin. Hi. This is Vinod. I'm theater director. Great questions. So I have to ask about acting. One question is, how do you change the attitude of the character? Of the character? Yeah. I think it's in the paper. It's in the writing. Go to the script. I remember when we did Barfi. Barfi was written as a very intense character. And we started shooting. We shot around three, four days. And then Dad and I realized, it won't work if it's so serious. It will be too like green jewelry. The character already is burdened with the fact that he's deaf mute. And now you're making very intense and serious. I won't be entertaining. So then we decided let's make him Charlie Chaplin. Let's make him someone who doesn't take his life that seriously. Who's a do-gooder and who's always smiling. So it's always in the paper. It always comes from the writing. It always comes from the script. Hello Ranvizha. And you act in love stories because of chemistry between you and the other character. But when you're doing a script where you are the hero and there is a villain, how do you work on that chemistry? I think every kind of chemistry is born in the writing. Actors don't bring chemistry. Actors bring depth. You can't provide chemistry. No, you just have it or you don't. Like for example, a lot of people say like my pairing with Deepika on screen. They thought that we were good at Yajewani and Diwani. But at the same time we didn't have to save a film like this. But people didn't really like us together. So that's not because of Deepika and myself. That's also because of the writing, the characters you portray. So it takes a lot for everything to work in a film. Did you see it? In the theater. It's the only buzzing word. I still really want to see Bombay Velvet. I do too. I'm so interested. The fact that it's so divisive. Well and it looks so gorgeous on the behind the scenes. Everything that went into that production. It's on York. Yeah, come on. You've got great acting. They can all make bad films. I'm not saying it's going to be a great film and we're going to disagree with everyone. But like it's so interesting to me that there's such a divisive opinion about that film. I'm intrigued. He seems like a very intelligent person and actor. I understand. We've seen what he does as a craftsman. But you understand a whole lot more about a person. Like if you ever get the chance to listen to Willem Dafoe talk about the craft. Just not the person that interviewed him in art. No. You need a good person to interview him. He did so good with that person because that person was not equipped to interview Willem Dafoe. No. But when you listen to Willem Dafoe talk about the craft. Or if you listen, we've both had the opportunity to see Willem Dafoe and the person talk about the craft. We've had the opportunity to listen to Peter Dinklage. Peter Dinklage. Come on. Who? One of the Oscar for Churchill. Gary Oldman. Gary Oldman. We've got to listen to Gary Oldman. We saw Denzel as well. Yeah. I don't know if you... No, I didn't get to see Denzel. But he has that capacity. It's very clear. He has an understanding. And I love the fact that... This is, again, for all of the nepotism haters out there. He went to film school. He apprenticed. He started out as Ailey number two. Yeah. Yeah. And I... For example, the answer he gave, we could talk on and on and on about all of his answers which are just spot on bullseye. I love to actually talk to him. Oh my stars. And actually get delve into him. Oh my stars. You could tell he, even though like I know a bunch of people love Rockstar and I thought Rockstar was a good movie. He was the thing I liked about Rockstar. Yeah, he was definitely the best part of it. But you can tell he liked the role of Tamasha Moore. Yeah. Even though I think it was more critically acclaimed of Rockstar, like everybody loved Rockstar. I bet Rockstar was more fun. Yeah, but he enjoyed... But I bet he enjoyed... It was very surface level. Yes. I bet it was fun. That's not what feeds actors. No. The challenge, like he said, it's true. Much more difficult to play nothingness. If you were to do an acting exercise with an actor and put them up on the stage and say, I want you to show me nothingness. Very few could do it. Very few could do it and make you believe they're in a state of nothingness. And what he said about the... Like that was a very good question about voice when he was portraying Sanjay Dutt versus Daniel DeLewis portraying Lincoln. And why wouldn't you go about that? Well, number one, don't use someone else's process. Yeah. Find your process. And number two, Daniel DeLewis, though he does change his voice, not always, though he does change his voice, the amount of time he spent with Lincoln was specific to Abraham Lincoln. Those are two people who really existed in history, but Sanjay Dutt is still alive. And most directors I have found, like I don't like Aaron Sorkin's choice of casting in Being the Ricardo's for pretty much everybody. But I do respect the fact that Aaron Sorkin said, I wasn't looking for people to imitate the characters. I wanted them to provide the essence. And that's what I think most... That's why I brought up Jamie Foxx and Ray because he doesn't look like Ray Charles. But he... You felt the essence of Ray Charles. Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. It looks like he's genuinely... It's great that he was asking them what they were aspiring to be. And it looked like he was genuinely interested. This reminded me of the actor's studio. I miss that show so, so much. That was a great show. That was a great show. But yeah. If anybody knows Ryan Beer, send them our way. Wake Up Sid. I have heard a lot about that film. That was when we decided to watch... I think it was... No, it was a Patreon one of December. It was Rocket Singh. Yeah. Rocket Singh always came up. And Wake Up Sid always came up for Ryan Beer. So we'll probably get to Rocket... I mean, Wake Up Sid. And Bombay Velvet. Yeah. Yeah. Is that good for romance month? We could just make it be good for romance month. No, we can't do that. Well, there's another on-yog one that would be good for romance. The Vicky. Vicky has like the middle finger. Middle finger shirt. Yeah. And the Tapsis in it. And stuff. People said that one actually would be good for romance month. I would love that one. But anyways. What's with our next Ryan Beer film? He does have the new one coming out this year. Yes, he does. The Big Juggernaut. The Big Juggernaut. Hopefully we'll actually get a teaser trailer soon. We just got that weird motion. I know. It's like standing like this. He's standing there and the cosmic wind is blowing his hair. Cool. Very cool. What other Ryan Beer stuff or the next Ryan Beer film we should watch? Down below. Juice!
