00:00Abhiksha Ji, first of all, welcome to INS.
00:02Thank you so much.
00:03And ma'am, first of all, we know that Jailer 2,
00:06which is the biggest franchise for you,
00:09how special it is for you.
00:11And when you thought you were going to screen share with Rajnikanth,
00:14how excited it was for you?
00:16It was a very special moment.
00:18I mean, Rajnikanth, I think, is one of the biggest stars in India.
00:22And to screen share and work with them,
00:26I think, is like a pinch me moment for me.
00:28Okay.
00:30Ma'am, if we talk about the film,
00:31then there are other stars, like Mithun Ji, Ritik Roshan,
00:34Aamir Khan Sir, Vidya Padin.
00:37Aamir Khan.
00:38Aamir Khan.
00:39Aamir Khan's cameo, right?
00:40Yes.
00:41I was talking about it, but it's not.
00:43Okay.
00:44So, there are many actors in this film.
00:48So, how are your experiences with them?
00:51It was very amazing.
01:01Everyone is such an amazing, humble person.
01:07They feel so at ease.
01:09And I tell you, as many people in real life,
01:13they are very simple, kind, and amazing people to work with.
01:17So, I'm looking at the film.
01:20I'm looking at the film.
01:20You're looking at the film.
01:21I'm looking at the film.
01:21So, what can you tell about your character?
01:24And how many preparations for this role?
01:26So, my character is a femme fatale assassin.
01:38So, it's basically an assassin.
01:42And, I train in martial arts.
01:45So, my basic training is katana and nunchak.
01:48And in this film, I'm using katana and gun.
01:52So, even before going on the set,
01:57we have the action and training.
01:59With the action and action.
02:00We've been able to地.
02:01We've been able to do action and action.
02:02We've been able to do action and action.
02:04We've been able to take a full choreography.
02:07And that also, just in general fitness and all.
02:10So, in a week, I must go to a gym almost 5 days for a month.
02:16In a week in Chennai, there?
02:19After that, I have 5 days of shoot.
02:21I have been able to go to a gym.
02:23after swimming, after swimming, after cardio, after swimming, after cardio, after cardio,
02:29after cardio and all of that.
02:33After that, sleep after the set, go back to the gym.
02:36So it was just that. Shoot, gym, swim, repeat.
02:41Especially in Jailer 2, how did you experience with Director Nelson Dilip Kumar and how did your direction of working
02:50styles
02:50from his expectations?
02:53Nelson sir has a unique style.
02:56He has a very nice quirky dark sense of humor.
03:03In Jailer 2, he has that humor on screen, in his script and off screen just as a kind of
03:09director he is.
03:10He is super fun, super chill.
03:13What about him?
03:15He is such a great film director.
03:18There is so much at stake.
03:20He is one of the calmest, coolest person.
03:24I have never seen CM lose his mood or anything.
03:28He is very focused and controlled of what he wants.
03:32He is such an amazing person.
03:37And I hope that I get to work with him on a larger screen time.
03:42Like a larger screen time.
03:44Rajni sir, he has a unique style.
03:47So what have you learned from him?
03:49How are you following his style?
03:51He has not followed his style.
03:53But I have learned from him that when you film this style,
03:57that's a very different space.
04:04So he has a lot of understanding of who the audience is, who he is presenting to.
04:12And you know,
04:13in small things, he takes his style.
04:16He doesn't come to your eyes, but he is the one that is Rajni Kant.
04:20So I learned from him that
04:22that I was looking for,
04:24that you are doing the one that you are doing,
04:24that you are doing,
04:25that you are doing the one in a film,
04:26that you are doing the one in a film.
04:29So you have seen your first film in South Industry.
04:33Yes.
04:33So how is it going to work and how is it going to work?
04:37And what difference do you see especially in Hindi film industry or South Film industry?
04:41I had a very amazing experience in South.
04:45The whole team is really good,
04:47people are really good.
04:49The one difference that I have seen was that
04:50It's a lot of timing in the South.
04:53It's a lot of pack up at 6.
04:57So you know there's a lot of discipline there.
05:00Also I feel that the South is being made of scripts.
05:03It's very interesting.
05:05And I hope I get to do some of those.
05:08How challenging in the South is the language barrier.
05:11Especially when you have to deliver a dialogue in such a language.
05:14That you don't have to worry about it.
05:16So in this film, whatever my dialogue was in English.
05:24Of course it's a challenge.
05:26But I feel that you don't have to do it.
05:30You can pick up the language.
05:32How many actors are working here and here.
05:38My first shot was Andekhi.
05:40There's hardly any lines.
05:42There's a slide in Bengali.
05:44From any slave market.
05:45There's a slide in Arabic.
05:47So I feel that I can pick up language.
05:51And other than that.
05:52I mean in today's day.
05:55As long as you can emote.
05:56I feel it's not a barrier.
05:58As long as you can imagine.
06:01So you can hear from the social media.
06:02As long as you can hear,
06:02As long as you can hear.
06:02The South actors have been making the accent and pronunciation.
06:07So how are you feeling?
06:08Does that feel the language is really a good person?
06:12That's not true. We need to see that no person who is not comfortable in this language is trying to
06:21do it.
06:22And never in any way, no one should hate anyone.
06:28I am sure that if these trollers are in another language, they will not be able to do it.
06:33So, someone is trying to do it.
06:35They should applaud them.
06:38You have come to the industry, you have come to the world.
06:44What are the challenges?
06:46You have come to the industry and you have been able to know someone.
06:51What do you say to them?
06:56I feel that everyone has a journey.
06:59Of course, if it happens, it happens, it happens.
07:01It happens in every life and every life.
07:05It happens in every life.
07:06But it's a different thing.
07:10And I feel today, actually, it's a beautiful time for actors, filmmakers, directors, writers.
07:18Because of OTT or because of so many different platforms, social media, there's so much where you can showcase your
07:26skills.
07:27And, you know, so I feel it's a great time, actually.
07:31And I focus on my journey.
07:32What can happen?
07:33What can happen?
07:34What can happen?
07:34What can happen?
07:41What can happen?
07:59What can happen?
08:03What can happen?
08:04What can happen?
08:04What can happen?
08:04I haven't heard this statement.
08:05I have to know.
08:07But, of course, nepotism is happening.
08:09But there's no interest.
08:13What can happen?
08:15That, the owner of a business.
08:17He does not pass on business for his best employee.
08:20He does not pass on business.
08:21He does not pass on business for his best employee.
08:21He does not pass on business for his husband.
08:22If I see my children who want in this industry, then I will try to give them all the things.
08:31So, that opportunity is not to me.
08:33So I feel, and today I am seriously saying, not to be diplomatic, but those who come up,
08:41there is a different pressure on them.
08:43They may think that they will take risk for 10 times,
08:47that they will take an outsider and take it away.
08:49So I feel that everyone has their own journey.
08:53And we need to work on ourselves,
08:56not to think that there is no nepotism or not.
08:59Because it is natural, every investor.
09:01Do you think that the networking industry is very necessary?
09:05If you don't have any other actors,
09:08then you will not be able to work?
09:10No, I don't think that.
09:13There was probably a period of time,
09:15which you know, could be.
09:17But I feel today,
09:20I have done everything from auditions.
09:24So I don't have anything from this network,
09:27but I think that's the case.
09:31Do you want to explore Jailer 2?
09:32Do you want to explore Jailer 2?
09:34Do you want to explore Jailer 2?
09:36Do you want to see more action packed characters?
09:37Do you want to explore Jailer 2?
09:39I hope so.
09:40I hope I do a full-fledged action,
09:43female-led action film.
09:45I would love to do that.
09:47Apart from that,
09:47I also have two other projects,
09:49which are very different from Jailer 2.
09:52I would say.
09:54And let's see.
09:56what else happens.
09:57I think up until now,
09:58just like I travel,
10:00The Honeymoon Frog for me,
10:01it's a completely different thing.
10:03Slave Market was a period drama,
10:05where with an Indian princess,
10:06Jailers like an assassin.
10:08So I've been grateful to get to do a variety of roles,
10:10and I hope I keep doing that.
10:12Lastly,
10:13what message do you want to give to your friends?
10:16Just give love.
10:18Thank you so much for everything,
10:20and all the love that has come my way,
10:22and I hope I continue to entertain you,
10:25and make you proud.
