- 0:10[Applause]
- 0:20>> So folks um I'm a film critic. U my job
- 0:24is to look at films not so much at box
- 0:26office. But this man doesn't give me a
- 0:28choice. Right. What a year you've had.
- 0:31What a year. Um 1,250
- 0:36crores box office for KGF2 global gross
- 0:40sales.
- 0:42Okay.
- 0:44Guys guys 54 crores only the Hindi
- 0:48version opening which is a record in
- 0:50Bollywood that has not been broken.
- 0:54>> Yes. You know you
- 0:59[Applause]
- 1:03Yeah, I'm I'm going to need some crowd
- 1:04control from you.
- 1:06>> Sorry,
- 1:06>> you're going to have to help with the
- 1:08crowd control.
- 1:11[Applause]
- 1:17[Music]
- 1:19you and that film have been instrumental
- 1:22in bringing audiences back to the
- 1:24theaters this year. Uh why do you think
- 1:28Rocky connected so strongly just across
- 1:32the world?
- 1:35>> See uh generally what happens is uh in a
- 1:40previous interview also I think we
- 1:42discussed about this. So the issues what
- 1:45uh masses have or they need some kind of
- 1:48inspiration. They need uh somebody to
- 1:51motivate them. So that may uh not come
- 1:55from books or uh from they may not
- 1:58attend some you know personality
- 2:00development course. Cinema is one such
- 2:02medium. I know it's about action,
- 2:05gangster, all of that, but deep down
- 2:07that's about one common manu who's got a
- 2:10lot of difficulties and nothing is uh
- 2:14easy or ideal situation for him. But he
- 2:16surpasses all the difficulties in style
- 2:19with conviction and he goes and he
- 2:22achieves it. That is something which
- 2:24everybody today wants to uh do or
- 2:27connect because we need to give them
- 2:28confidence. uh most of the people they
- 2:32are like crushed in the beginning you
- 2:33know the way society tells you that this
- 2:36is how if it comes to if I have to speak
- 2:40about my industry this is how our star
- 2:42should be this is how we should look
- 2:45this is what uh these are the type of
- 2:46clothes he should have so there is some
- 2:48set rules where society is unknowingly
- 2:51pushing it on youngsters or today's
- 2:54generation so they're confused including
- 2:58me I was confused so the moment The
- 2:59moment you realize it's all within you
- 3:02and if you decide nothing can stop you
- 3:04and everything will change you can
- 3:06change doesn't happen on its own you
- 3:09have to take actions so if they realize
- 3:12that then they will definitely get
- 3:15inspired Rocky did that to them and I
- 3:18think there is Rocky in everybody is
- 3:19what I feel
- 3:24>> you know um one of my favorite scenes in
- 3:28the film is is early on uh you get down
- 3:31from the helicopter, you put yourself at
- 3:33the head of the table where all the
- 3:35other bad guys have gathered, right? And
- 3:38then you drop that killer line about
- 3:39nepotism,
- 3:44which I just loved. And then you say,
- 3:47"I've got here on merit." Right? Rocky
- 3:50is saying, "I've got here on merit." And
- 3:52a little later in that scene, you say
- 3:54that you can't create another Rocky to
- 3:56kill me because there's one and only
- 3:58peace
- 4:00right
- 4:02now that that Yash is also you, right?
- 4:06You are here on merit.
- 4:08>> You are a single piece. I want to talk
- 4:11to you about this conviction. Okay?
- 4:13Because you you go back to it in your
- 4:16conversation a lot. What does conviction
- 4:18mean on a day-to-day basis? How do you
- 4:20have like what what do you do on a
- 4:23day-to-day basis? You wake up and do
- 4:25what to have that belief.
- 4:29>> I think um to answer your first portion
- 4:32when we put that nepotism that was not u
- 4:36there was no such development in the
- 4:38industry that was shot much before
- 4:41lockdown and all of that. So the idea
- 4:43was it's a burning issue. So it doesn't
- 4:47mean that people who have come from film
- 4:49background or film family. It's not
- 4:51against them. Nepotism according to me
- 4:54is not about um somebody some actor's
- 4:57son or some producer's son coming into
- 5:00industry. It's not about that. It's
- 5:01about them trying to put others down
- 5:05acting as if they are blueblad or they
- 5:08are royalty. That is wrong. So that's
- 5:11there in most of the fields. It's not
- 5:13just cinema but cinema it's visible and
- 5:16people talk about it criticize and it's
- 5:18like little uh vulnerable industry if
- 5:21not everywhere that is there but if as a
- 5:24country or as a society if we have to
- 5:27evolve or go to next level we should
- 5:30encourage talent we should encourage
- 5:34merit so the idea was even in gangsters
- 5:38even in underworld if you are talking
- 5:40about nepotism
- 5:42I that was a confusion when I just you
- 5:45know we were discussing I said this is
- 5:47the best time to tell him nepotism
- 5:51here also so everybody's like that isn't
- 5:53it too high a word will people
- 5:55understand
- 5:56I don't know then that became like a big
- 5:59thing everywhere everybody started
- 6:01discussing so then most of the people
- 6:04understood uh but the point is not to
- 6:07put anybody down from the industry it's
- 6:09to inspire any individual for me I from
- 6:13the beginning all I had is confidence
- 6:16and vision and when I look at people who
- 6:18are trying to intimidate you with power
- 6:21or with uh just the background if you do
- 6:26it good we respect you but at the same
- 6:29time because somebody has done it in
- 6:31your family or that we give you love we
- 6:33respect you when you mutually respect
- 6:37everybody that's fine in any industry
- 6:39but don't use it as a weapon to intimate
- 6:41ate others. So somebody like me, I think
- 6:44it's most of the people's issue and they
- 6:46they have it in them. Somebody like me
- 6:48if I represent then that's when the city
- 6:51comes
- 6:55and on a daily basis I think all of us
- 6:59go through that. I'm not somebody who's
- 7:01like 24 bar 7 confident or I'm not
- 7:03somebody but most of the time I am
- 7:06>> really
- 7:10because because I don't uh I don't think
- 7:12about what to lose or it's about you you
- 7:18be yourself and whole world will sense
- 7:20it if you try to act if you try to
- 7:22pretend or if you try to imprint someone
- 7:25that's when you lose respect if you be
- 7:27yourself and if you don't care about uh
- 7:31not with arrogance uh if you don't care
- 7:33about uh you know what others are
- 7:36thinking about you judging you then
- 7:38everybody will like you if you're real
- 7:39and if you have that conf and I think
- 7:41it's a constant process I get inspired
- 7:44by looking at a lot of other fellow
- 7:47actors or competition is something which
- 7:50I feel it is very important in the
- 7:52industry I always been telling about it
- 7:54it's not just about one indivision so I
- 7:57always tell KGF was not to intimidate.
- 8:00It is the vision of KJF was to inspire
- 8:04that I wanted everybody to believe that
- 8:07uh anybody can go out and achieve. It's
- 8:08not like we are not inferior or it's not
- 8:11like an impossible task. I always
- 8:13believe everybody comes to this world uh
- 8:16as a baby. I've never seen or come
- 8:18across any story where somebody's know
- 8:21come with all might and power. So they
- 8:24all develop it. So if they can even we
- 8:27can uh that's that's about it. You keep
- 8:30motivating yourself. Keep set a goal.
- 8:33That's what I believe. You set a goal
- 8:35and then take actions what it requires
- 8:38and what kind of people you have to
- 8:39associate and then just keep going.
- 8:42Don't care about rest of the things.
- 8:44Success and failure is like it's not
- 8:46trust me when I say this even after this
- 8:48success it's not uh success which gives
- 8:52us happiness. It's about the journey.
- 8:55When you see that when nobody else is
- 8:58even thinking of it or if they can't
- 9:00imagine but you are seeing it absolutely
- 9:03with such clarity that it's as if it's
- 9:05there waiting for you. That's the fun
- 9:07part. So set a high goal. Set a goal
- 9:13which which should look like there's a
- 9:15saying no if you tell your goal people
- 9:19should be scared. If not it is not a
- 9:22goal. No buying a house, having a buying
- 9:25a car or uh settling down, having a good
- 9:28family is not a goal. That's basic. We
- 9:32will end up set high goals. Then I think
- 9:35individually everybody can if everybody
- 9:37starts thinking like that many things
- 9:39can happen for this country because we
- 9:42just talk about our country was great
- 9:44back then, our civilization was like
- 9:46that. So I can go on and on about this
- 9:50topic because I love because that
- 9:52changed my life. Belief system changed
- 9:54my life.
- 9:55>> You know what intrigues me Yash is that
- 9:58after this massive blockbuster
- 10:02you didn't give 30 interviews. Okay. You
- 10:05didn't post uh creatives talking about
- 10:09box office here opening there. You in
- 10:12fact didn't give any interviews.
- 10:15you you just went quiet which is a very
- 10:18unique way to approach stardom. Why have
- 10:22you chosen this?
- 10:25>> I think um that's how an actor should be
- 10:29or a star should be because they all
- 10:34are the channel for the dream word. I'm
- 10:37like the bridge they need to pass
- 10:39through us when they see some actors or
- 10:42some uh stories they listen to stories
- 10:45through those characters through us they
- 10:47travel if it is too much about me and if
- 10:51they know everything about me I don't
- 10:53know where uh they will be able to
- 10:55relate to those characters so for me I
- 10:57think it's my job one second and I don't
- 11:00believe in going out and talking about
- 11:03you know this is saying no if you're a
- 11:06king. If you're telling you're a king,
- 11:09then you're not a king. So, anybody who
- 11:12has success,
- 11:16anybody who has success or doing really
- 11:19great in life, I don't think they have
- 11:22to go out and show that they're
- 11:24successful or doing it. People will know
- 11:25it. I I I know my audience or my fans,
- 11:29all of them are really smart. We are
- 11:31trying to cope up because they consume
- 11:34lot of content. and they understand the
- 11:35world better. So if I think I am smart
- 11:38and I'm trying to project something,
- 11:39they will read it. Okay, this guy is
- 11:41doing this because he wants to show he's
- 11:44bigger than that actor or this actor. So
- 11:46you better you better be real and they
- 11:50will sense it and they will tell the
- 11:52whole world. I think it's nice when it
- 11:54comes from people.
- 11:56>> How fabulous. Speaking of conquering,
- 12:00uh, what is the next big world
- 12:04domination plan?
- 12:12Remember I told you once I told you
- 12:15audience will tell me what to do next.
- 12:18>> You asked me what do you mean by
- 12:20audience or people will tell you. See if
- 12:23you listen to them, you will know.
- 12:26Hollywood.
- 12:28>> Hollywood,
- 12:29>> they're thinking Hollywood.
- 12:32>> No, when when when I say it's not about
- 12:35Hollywood, it's about trying to achieve
- 12:38things which always looked uh like only
- 12:42they can do or again same same thing.
- 12:46It's not that as a country also we have
- 12:48so many such inhibitions.
- 12:50you know we you know what the best CG
- 12:53company in the world or the one of the
- 12:56best who are doing good is an Indian uh
- 12:59I met him Namit so he's got so many
- 13:01Oscars so happy to see our people going
- 13:03and achieving those things and
- 13:05establishing and like that there are so
- 13:07many people there also who are uh
- 13:10working there and they have understood
- 13:12that market all of that but now it's
- 13:14time to see what we can do as an
- 13:17industry I think most of the people are
- 13:19looking towards that and uh as we have
- 13:22India on our side we can take that
- 13:24challenge because the kind of budgets we
- 13:27can put or the kind of support audience
- 13:30are giving and some people even say it's
- 13:33not about budget it's about content yes
- 13:35true but there are certain things to
- 13:37achieve certain kind of film you need
- 13:39that budget or you need that so we can
- 13:42take that kind of responsibility we'll
- 13:44try and there are so many people who
- 13:46might do that in our country but I think
- 13:49we all should take inspiration from each
- 13:51other and keep trying. That's it.
- 13:53>> But Yash, give us little more now. When
- 13:55will you announce?
- 13:57[Applause]
- 13:57[Music]
- 14:00>> No, I I'm not saying my next film will
- 14:03be Hollywood or that. You just ask me
- 14:05what's next. For me, my vision is let me
- 14:08go towards it. Let me work towards
- 14:10content. Let me work with people who are
- 14:13hungry and passionate.
- 14:15I don't want to work with people who are
- 14:16looking at my box office number and come
- 14:19and tell me that okay we'll do this film
- 14:21so we can no I want to work with people
- 14:24who say uh you know you have done this
- 14:28you you you can do this or can we try
- 14:31something else here or let us do this uh
- 14:34something you know very exciting that is
- 14:36where I'm looking at I think working on
- 14:38couple of things but the fact is I I've
- 14:41met couple of people their vision is
- 14:43good they have come come up with good
- 14:45scripts or I've also spent time with a
- 14:48couple of people working on scripts but
- 14:50somewhere I think all of it uh starts
- 14:53with are we aligned is the vision same
- 14:56because as an individual story that
- 14:58might be good may not work for what I
- 15:00want to achieve now or where I want to
- 15:03go and there are certain talented
- 15:04directors who I just worked with but I
- 15:07don't think their exposure or what they
- 15:09are thinking right now is not the same
- 15:11thing so we're just aligning and I think
- 15:14I have been looking for it. I don't want
- 15:16to talk much because um there is nothing
- 15:19left after that. Uh I anybody won't be
- 15:23excited if I come out and tell because
- 15:24they will have an idea. But I'm working.
- 15:27I'm not taking this success for granted.
- 15:2924 7 from morning to night.
- 15:34I just think of cinema. I just think of
- 15:38uh our people. I always believed
- 15:41whenever they have given me success, it
- 15:43is not because what I have done, it is
- 15:45because of what they see in me, what
- 15:49they want me to do. So, so I know what
- 15:53they are expecting out of me. At least
- 15:55I'll try doing it. That's all I can say.
- 15:58It's something very uh nice which I will
- 16:01enjoy. I don't know how they will feel
- 16:03it, but it's good. It's uh things are
- 16:05going well. But it will take time. In my
- 16:07head, there is no time for me. time is
- 16:09irrelevant as far as I'm waking up early
- 16:12in the morning, hitting the gym, doing
- 16:14all my actor duties plus 24/7
- 16:18uh you know I'm brainstorming of doing
- 16:21uh giving a better product giving a good
- 16:25film for them. How can things go wrong?
- 16:28I don't uh you know I'm not doing things
- 16:31which is irrelevant to my industry. I'm
- 16:32just trying to do what it takes to make
- 16:34a good film. So it should fall in place.
- 16:37It will looks like it is falling in
- 16:39place. That's all I can say.
- 16:41>> Lovely.
- 16:42We hope soon.
- 16:45>> Soon.
- 16:45>> Very soon. See, I I I
- 16:52No, no, no, no. The problem is I I know
- 16:56all of you are expecting on Janet that's
- 17:00my birthday.
- 17:03I I really want to but if it is
- 17:07halfbaked I don't think I will come out
- 17:10because for me it is not about me it is
- 17:12not about my birthday nothing it's about
- 17:15the product it's about the project when
- 17:17it is right right time I will come out
- 17:20and tell please I I want you people to
- 17:24understand that I'm not irresponsible
- 17:26I'm not having fun with the success I'm
- 17:29really trying to get things Right.
- 17:32>> That's all I can say.
- 17:33>> Lovely.
