00:00 Vaishnavi, I am telling you the truth.
00:07 The reason I came here today is because of SKN, Sairajesh, Marthi and all of them.
00:14 I came here single-handedly, 50% of the way, if I am a little more than 50% of the way, 51%, I came here just for you.
00:27 Vaishnavi, when I was doing Ala Vaikhanthapuram, my sister's character was playing.
00:36 I am not saying you don't like it, I don't mind.
00:40 Me, Murali Sharma and everyone else were rehearsing.
00:44 I just saw it at that time. I don't have much focus on you.
00:49 I saw it and I don't remember much. You did well, you were doing it neatly, it's all done.
00:55 But I have one feeling.
00:58 The main reason I came here today and to talk about this film is because
01:05 I feel very sad that girls in Telugu are not coming to make films.
01:14 If I go to an award function, a few years back, I was sitting there and Malayalee girls were coming, getting awards, saying thanks in Malayalam, talking in Malayalam.
01:28 When I went there, it was Tamil girls again. Tamil girls were going up, giving awards for best actor, speaking in Tamil, coming down.
01:37 Finally, Kannada girls were going up. I thought Kannada girls might be foreign actresses. But they were also going up.
01:42 They were speaking Kannada very well. I saw a KJF girl taking it and they were speaking in Kannada.
01:47 When I came to Telugu, at least, okay, foreigners can come, 50%, but at least 50% of our people should be there.
01:54 There is no representation of our people. I have this pain for 6-7 years.
01:59 I used to think, why can't our Telugu girls make films? What are we doing? We can make our films somewhere.
02:06 I don't remember everything, but when I saw you in Alavai Kondapur, I had a feeling.
02:12 I always thought that if I make a film with a girl like you, you will come to our Telugu films.
02:17 I thought that only. I didn't have any genuine focus on you in the entire film.
02:23 I thought only that. Today, in the same function, you are the main lead.
02:28 I saw a clip while you were speaking.
02:30 I used to make a small film and take the entire Kandam for 30 seconds.
02:33 Today, when I say that the entire film is mine, I am so happy.
02:37 Finally, the time has come for Telugu girls to come and make films.
02:42 I am saying this from my heart. I am so happy.
02:45 A girl like Shreeli is coming. Now, she is making mainstream films.
02:48 This girl is coming. My wish is that all the Telugu girls come from here and make films.
02:52 Because, I came to the main function today using this platform to say that
02:58 Come, girls. Why are you afraid? Come. This is such a good place.
03:03 Telugu cinema industry is one of the most... Entertainment industry... India is growing.
03:09 Entertainment industry is booming.
03:11 In that, Telugu cinema is playing a very pioneer role.
03:14 We are in the best times in the best industry.
03:17 If you have any doubts, you can send your kids.
03:23 Girls, you come to the first film. Come and do it.
03:27 If possible, convince your parents.
03:30 Are you not convinced?
03:32 Many girls have already proved that their parents are convinced.
03:37 After they come and prove, they are all very convinced and happy about their kids' decisions.
03:42 I sincerely wish that many girls come and make Telugu films.
03:47 Please come. You are welcome here.
03:49 It will be a lot of joy.
03:51 Because, I am not against outsiders.
03:55 I am for any language. They are very beautiful.
03:58 If I make a Tamil film tomorrow, I will say that all are Tamil people.
04:02 If I make a Telugu film, I will say that all are Telugu people.
04:04 So, the beauty in our language...
04:06 When you speak in Telugu, it is so sweet.
04:11 It is so useful for the film.
04:13 It brings a real feeling to the film.
04:15 You did it so well.
04:17 I sincerely wish that you win the Best Actress Award in 2023.
04:22 Because, if you beat a girl like you, many girls will get inspiration.
04:30 We can also beat. We will also come.
04:32 If she can do it, I can do it.
04:34 This competitive spirit will come.
04:36 It should start. Not only boys, but all girls and boys.
04:38 All age groups.
04:40 I cannot do it as a hero. I am 55 years old.
04:42 I am 40 years old.
04:44 You all don't stop anywhere.
04:46 Because, there is a huge demand for such character actors.
04:48 We are losing our lackeys.
04:50 I am talking to Mr. Mooksukumar.
04:52 Why are we not getting more film actors?
04:54 We are not getting good dubbing artists.
04:56 Please, everybody, welcome to Telugu film industry.
04:58 It is progressing. Please come.
05:00 Send your auditions.
05:02 Not only stars, but people of Rao Ramesh's age can also become stars.
05:07 There is a lot of respect in society for characters of that age.
05:11 There is a lot of proof.
05:13 I sincerely wish that you all come.
05:15 I came here to use this event to tell this.
05:18 Telugu cinema is decreasing.
05:28 I know.
05:30 I thought you all will kill me if I do a big function.
05:32 So, I did a small function.
05:34 That is the first rule of SK.
05:36 If I come, fans will not say Pushpa update.
05:38 I don't have an answer.
05:40 I will leave all this.
05:42 I will also come.
05:44 I will tell.
05:46 That is a different function.
05:48 Is it?
05:50 I will tell.
05:52 I will tell.
05:54 I will tell.
05:56 Is it?
05:58 I will tell.
06:00 Everyone did a good job.
06:04 I really liked the film.
06:06 All technicians, everybody, once again congratulations.
06:10 Vaishnavi, you did a great job.
06:12 You gave a shock.
06:14 Simply,
06:16 I am telling the truth.
06:18 Whoever did this,
06:20 you did it as if you are speaking.
06:22 Like a Telugu girl.
06:24 You did it very well.
06:26 Very nice.
06:28 I told you to become a best actress.
06:30 Because,
06:32 I am putting pressure on them to give an award or a function.
06:34 (laughing)
