 What's up up is a two-letter word that indicates direction. Oh my word. That's funny. I'm a funny guy Hey, welcome back to our stupid or XV it's I'm Corbin And you follow us on Instagram and Twitter And they turn on and follow our official Twitter account And today We are reacting to a little interview 10 minutes long But this is a little clip. I think this girl similar to the Bollywood round table Yes, her own kind of thing got it. No, we're not watching the whole thing There's not gonna be an hour and a half long. This is a 10-minute clip, but this is on what South Indian actors think of the India's Hindi cinema So that's okay, that's very interesting topic And what they think but I think it this has a bunch of people in it not just South Indian actors. I think Topeka and Kajgana are in here as well. I could be totally wrong, but this is full of just a bunch of actors So let's this should be interesting now You know, I think it's fair to say that regional is the new national This whole idea of we are this and you are that I think it's just over and thank God for that Vijay, you're working with Aamir in Lansing Chakra, Vijay, you're being moved by everybody What are your biggest concerns about Hindi cinema? What is your fear or what kind of things unsettling about this space? I'm looking at them because you already done My fear is language is the first Fears what? Language I don't watch much about the culture. I don't watch much so And he's working with Aamir, Lansing Chakra Anybody can easily they can learn but the culture is very important Yeah to that culture only we can connect the audience for the truth So more than a language because language so if you go to Saudi if you work for six months, we could learn Arabic also Language is not a big barrier, but I should learn the language, but main thing is I should know the culture What do you mean? That's not the body and the That you may not have a different way and you may think a different way Maybe a family wise See Friendship or yes, great point of financial status at a friendship Not only it can be a random to that Every city has an energy and every state has an energy and they maintain themselves in a different way So so I should know about that thing also because I only I can understand the character and then I can play The way I know the people in my state Myself So so I can connect with South India Every Tamil or Telugu Malayam I can easily connect with them because we are very close And I come to Hindi that I should know the culture most Language is not because Because I was working in Dubai for three years, I used to speak Hindi fluently Now it's been 16 years, so I don't have a culture So but still I can understand Hindi But language is not the biggest problem and the main thing is the culture We should know the culture Then maybe we can connect the audience wherever I go It's a great point So in South India wherever I go People they connect with me And then if you really know the culture If you really care for the people If you know the society well And through your art form you can touch everybody That's what I mean If you have a pure love for the people here And then innocence you have and the purity you have What have you done And if you can just move the cup from here to there You can connect That's what I mean The innocence is very important So for the crowd In every character there is a nuance That you can connect with the audience Whether it be good guy or bad guy That you can connect That's what I mean Vijay, what are your quotes? Teacher told proper I think he said it perfectly I think these are the first things Of course language But coming from Hyderabad There's a lot more Hindi You hear it a lot You speak it a lot But you speak a different dialect So that way I know I can figure that out But definitely to be born in a place To be brought up there To know the social Like I can't play a deli wala for example I don't know how to say deli or deli Or what So I can never do that So definitely the kind of cinema If I do Hindi will be restricted to Some kind of neutral cinema That works across cities It's not very rooted culturally It's not very rooted culturally It needs to be some neutral kind of film That's fun And the traffic and rain Is also very bothersome That's Bombay When I get the movie with the nuja I still struggle I still have this How can you accent coming The nasal trend But I do have a habit of mimicking Like if I spend half an hour with you I'll probably start laughing like you My mom used to find out That his case are the same thing I think it's probably true with most actors It's an actor thing I always start talking to the person That I was spending time Exactly Happens happen happens That's amazing That's fun fun But the thing is That's great for the job But in reality You're almost like come across as big But I haven't spent time with an American For a while and all that Language is great I love learning languages But I've also done Kannada films I've done Tamil films In the first Tamil film I used to make the directors Speak to me in Tamil only So that I start mimicking him It's like a little baby learning to walk Like you'll keep kind of Emilating what the other person is doing But you make mistakes But I think language is the thought In which a character thinks I can't think in Malayalam And then perform in Kailubu Or Kannada So learning the language So sport boys and everyone Have great help So just to ask for water I make the effort to learn The language better minimum And I do beg to them I mean please make me dumb And if I do a bad job Please save the character from me And like you know find the right person So otherwise it gets really fucked up But I would love to use my voice So language is a great thing But bombily I have one concern Is that there's a lot of exposure Of the actor A lot more than South India Like paps Like paps But also there is a reason for it I feel like there is a certain culture Of that here Which overwhelms me If I walk around in Kerala Also I had the resting bitch face So people don't really come to me But and also the feminist And the activism part of the So I feel like Here if somebody does that I freeze Like because in front of the camera Or you know on a film set I am completely naked Like I can be whatever But in front of other people I am like But I am not yours There is a contract That's the film That's our you know Give and take So that's kind of scary To be very honest It's not regarding the Graph The Graph question too I can just dive in But the other thing is a little scary Okay if you guys could take advice On process, graph, acting, film From one actor in Indian cinema Alive or dead Who would it be? I think I know stars Aha But you are D Come on Don't say that It's a tough question What is one? What do you think about? Vijay for you? Sivaji Venesh So not the best actor Yes He's one of the best actors He could do 80 kind of film And then Kamal sir It's a brilliant case Even after he is very brilliant I think he said Kamal also I like Mona also very much She is I don't know how he is performing He just He is very, very easy I also like to spend some time with him I think that is Kamal I think so It is I think so No, there But And then of course Hope you know India sir India sir He is one of the very brilliant actors His scriptions are very useful scriptions And all his voice His songs are very hit He is very brilliant scriptions And He do it on the meter He is very brilliant so All of it And can you, Vijay? As in without him A lot of people on this table Have had massive crushes Like been in love with some of them Oh it has? Yeah Like these two have used She got married But And I used to love there But she is getting married I know By the way I know And I have loved I have loved Some of Manoj sir's performance that I have seen I have watched some of his early films Ranveer's some work Like When I watched Girlie Boy I couldn't sleep Really? Like there are some films When I watch I can't sleep for three nights Because I am like What am I doing with my life So I have always I have already liked Ranveer And I also I always like He is getting married But these two I don't want to talk Ranveer Because The auto generated Actors push it a lot Like they give you some You have to I think you have to be that boy You need to be on set Throughout the day Throughout the film Because I don't even know I don't even think Actors are aware of What all they do completely I think we do a lot Of things That we cannot articulate So you need to be there Be there for For an entire process Of a film From pre-production To post-production Exactly how they are Going about things And do But So I think Ranveer Because He also I started watching Before I never knew I had been an actor And the rest I started watching Once I Kind of became an actor So that was a pure love Yeah Always like A colleague type Feel But then it's like Pure It's like pure Before you got to I wanted to know I wanted to hear from Ranveer and Alia Well it's an entire It's like an hour Long thing Just like the round table one Yeah That was really interesting though Because Obviously we know now That India's India's full of What How many language industries? A lot But there's seven primary ones That's not Something that You know You know it's a different language But you don't Like in America We don't have to think about that When you go to a different state No We don't have to think about Oh I don't know the language Or the cultural difference Being so strong Yeah We have different cultures In America But they're not as I think Divergent Extremely divergent Extremely divergent As others Some are Like they're just All the kind of stuff So there are some extremes But It's not like When you just go to A different state Like he was saying But he's totally correct He's like You have to learn the language Yeah It's even deeper Than say in England Where You go to various Places around England And the accents Just drastically change And also The cultures change But there's a common Throughline there It's similar to the United States You get different accents In Los Angeles Than you do in Louisiana Than you do up in Minnesota Than you do over in Brooklyn Yeah And The But the cultural Shifts Aren't so strong India has Not only the language changes Dialect changes Within the languages And then Cultural references That are completely different Even Some of the comments Like for example My shock with And the unbelievable ability For me of the crying And super deluxe Lots of messages From stupid babies Saying This is how they cry This is not an exaggeration And the cultural thing It's for example A Natsumrat We were like What's the big deal Well for Marathi That The culture there That's a big deal And I thought It was extraordinarily intelligent The comment he had As well as It's making me realize More and more We knew this One of the reasons That Americans Don't pay attention To Indian cinema Is because Americans don't pay Attention to Anything that's not American So To jump Into another culture To take Your hat off Of what you live in Here in America And say I don't just want To watch another film Because we've Even talked about When we recommend films There's certain films We won't recommend Because they need to know The culture first Don't watch Devgas Don't watch Lagann Before you see English of English Or you see Gully Boy Because you're Going to get lost And we're having The same thing happen When we're going into South Indian film I'm sure We could see something now And in five years See it and go Wow I totally didn't appreciate it Five years ago Because I knew nothing About South India Or a Bengali film Yeah, it was It was interesting though That his first concern Is language when That's like If I was to act In Indian film That's obviously My first concern Is the language But obviously I'm not surrounded By Hindi all the time I feel like People in India Are Regardless of the state You're more accessible Than I am here in America Correct Obviously But If you're in a Southern state And then You go all the way up To the northern state That speaks Hindi I It's probably A whole different world Right It's something I just didn't Compute with But that's He's totally right You have to To do those things You have to get the language down Because you don't Want to be thinking About the language You're acting She said that as well And that was a really good point I would want to get To the point where I'm not Like this happened I remember when I was learning Spanish Which I'm not fluent in yet But I got to a place Where I actually Could think in Spanish Which Is a huge jump And is important If you were portraying If I was doing something In Hindi I would want to get The Hindi So embedded in me That I wasn't even Having to think About the words anymore That's one of the reasons The header took so long Is because that's how I Normally when I Can learn a script It's really fast It doesn't take me long No It's Quite simple If it's in my language Because I Have reference points to You know Once this word is said I know what's coming next Blah, blah, blah That's how you want it So you want it to come out Like a thought Right Like it's your thought And so that's why it took so long Because I might Been able to say it But it wasn't like I was thinking About the consciousness I was thinking about it And I didn't want that Because that ruins the performance If you're thinking About what you're saying Right It looks like you're thinking About what you're saying When you're Especially the scene Is he's just spitting off The top of his head Saying it's all Because he's kind of gone Mental a little bit So it was really interesting To hear that In the same country That there's that many Differences It shows you how diverse That country really is Yeah It's insane I would also like To hear the rest of that Entire interview And it also Helps me Understand a little bit Better why so many In say Daniel or Tilugu Or Marathi Are Canada Which I've always mispronounced Want so desperately For people to appreciate Their filmmaking And are Quote on quote Ignoring Because it isn't Just an appreciation Of the filmmaking You have to get Into the culture Somewhat To appreciate What's being told And that's a big Leave Apparently even for Indians To do that Let alone people In the western world And it's one of the Increased Indian film Is Bollywood Because I think The Hindi Bollywood film Is the closest Culturally to American Of anything coming out Of India So it's the farthest Leap for people To have to connect And that's why It's gotten Global recognition And it's oftentimes Not because of the artist There's a lot of films We've seen That came out of Bollywood But it's that Cultural jump That's big But it shouldn't be An excuse to Not appreciate the film Yeah That was great I really enjoyed it I'd like to see more Of that interview I would too Yeah We'll get back to Corbin When his brain starts working again Are you caffeinated? Wow
