Transcript

00:00 When we were making Kerala Shodhi, we were making a very small film.

00:03 I'm saying budget-wise.

00:05 We made it, but I acted like I was doing a film worth a thousand crores.

00:12 I'm very blessed to be getting so many different roles.

00:14 I hope I get roles in the future where I can play different roles.

00:20 I feel that God has finally decided that this movie will go to them.

00:25 We can ask why only Adah Sharma for the highest female grossing film?

00:31 Sudeep sir said, "Shout so much that your throat bursts."

00:34 I don't want a serene voice.

00:37 I don't want to take a left from Dantewada.

00:40 I don't care about the bell.

00:44 I don't care about the bell.

00:46 I shouldn't be polite or soft-spoken.

00:48 (music)

00:55 I'll talk about your outfit.

00:57 You've always been very simple and different.

01:00 What do you think about your marriage and love life?

01:05 I had three releases in a month.

01:08 I didn't get much time for styling.

01:10 One day, my grandmother was at home.

01:12 We were trying on clothes.

01:14 She knew that my next film was not in Hindi.

01:18 It was in another language.

01:20 She asked me what I was doing.

01:22 I said I was trying on clothes and wasting time.

01:24 I had to study.

01:25 I said I didn't want to see what I was wearing.

01:27 She told me to wear my sarees.

01:29 She told me not to waste time on clothes.

01:31 She told me to focus on acting.

01:33 She brought three of her old sarees.

01:38 She told me...

01:41 This is my own T-shirt.

01:43 I wore it like a blouse.

01:45 This is my grandmother's saree.

01:47 It's very old.

01:49 I'll ask her exactly how old it is.

01:51 I remember when I was very young.

01:53 It was 2-3 years old.

01:55 It's a 15 rupee saree that I know.

01:57 I should get a video of her saying it.

01:59 It's like 1.5 rupees.

02:01 Even when she said 15, I said 15.

02:03 She said 15 was very expensive.

02:06 Whenever she got this saree.

02:09 I have a lot of her sarees now.

02:11 I thought I'll wear it.

02:13 You'll be happy.

02:15 It looks good and it saves me some time.

02:19 I enjoy wearing it.

02:21 You have released back to back.

02:25 Kerala Story, Buster, Sunflower Season 2.

02:30 How is your experience?

02:32 It's been a long journey.

02:34 We have experienced that.

02:36 We are following you from the South.

02:38 What would you like to say about the changes in your life?

02:43 The audience sees you differently in every movie.

02:47 How do you feel about that?

02:49 I'm really happy that the audience accepts me in different roles.

02:55 It's difficult for an actor.

02:58 Because the audience likes him in only one role.

03:01 After Kerala Story, a lot of people told me.

03:05 After 1920, a lot of people told me.

03:07 No, you'll do only one film.

03:10 After Kerala Story, people said, no, you'll do serious roles.

03:14 Then Sunflower came.

03:16 Sunflower has a lot of comedy and craziness in it.

03:20 Then Buster came, which is very serious.

03:23 After Kerala Story, there was Commando, where there is action.

03:27 I'm really blessed.

03:28 It's been 8 months since Kerala Story was released in theatre.

03:34 I'm very blessed that I'm getting so many different roles.

03:37 I hope I get roles in the future where I can play different roles.

03:44 Even if we talk about your role, as you said, Kerala Story was very sensitive.

03:49 Then you had a comedy role in Sunflower.

03:53 Then Buster had a very sincere role.

03:56 And when we talk about 1920, it was very unique.

03:59 How do you balance it when you get different roles?

04:04 I'm eager for different roles.

04:07 How to get a role is the question.

04:10 As an actor, you have to work hard for every role.

04:14 Of course, there are different preparations.

04:17 I wait for something different, which is different from the style.

04:22 So that I can work hard and do something new.

04:26 Even in Sarthak season 2, your role is very different.

04:30 What was the preparation for that?

04:33 Maybe it was the first time you were doing this kind of role.

04:35 Yes, absolutely.

04:36 I have never played such a bold and hot, charming bar dancer before.

04:44 She is a very strange kind of person.

04:49 She is keeping an eye on people and is involved in murder.

04:54 But I enjoyed it a lot.

04:56 I saw documentaries of many psychopaths.

04:59 I met a lot of bar dancers in real life.

05:03 I wanted to see them.

05:04 Because we are conscious of our bodies.

05:10 We are not that free.

05:13 And I saw the way those girls were sitting when they were not dancing.

05:18 They were sitting like this.

05:20 They were not talking to anyone.

05:21 But their body language was very open.

05:24 I tried to take that in my body language.

05:27 For dancing, you can copy the steps of the choreographer.

05:34 But it goes to the director and the writer.

05:42 The character that Vikas Bhel and Chaitali made of Rosie is a very unique character.

05:48 It is something different.

05:52 It was so well written that I had to just play it.

05:56 You have given back to back movies.

06:05 Is there a process for switching the character?

06:10 Or is it in your mind set?

06:12 You played a very strong role in Bastar.

06:17 You played a very strong role in Sunflower Season 2.

06:20 It is very different from the other projects.

06:23 What is the process in your mind?

06:26 Do you feel that this is not the same Ada that you saw before?

06:31 Thank you.

06:32 That's the biggest compliment I think.

06:34 And any actor will be eager to hear that.

06:37 So thank you so much.

06:38 That means so much.

06:39 I think there are 1000 people in my mind.

06:43 I choose one by one.

06:46 But I try to do as much as I can to not look like Ada.

06:49 I like to observe people in real life.

06:53 Like you are talking to me, I am observing you.

06:56 I record in my brain.

06:58 Suppose I am playing a character, say of a journalist.

07:02 I will take something from your mannerism.

07:04 I am watching their mannerisms.

07:09 I observe a lot.

07:11 I would like to think so.

07:14 I learn something from any person, animal or anyone.

07:19 I record it in my brain.

07:21 I have files in my brain.

07:22 So when there is a character, I take that file from here.

07:27 How is your experience working with Sunil sir?

07:30 It was awesome.

07:32 I am so fortunate that I am doing comedy for the first time.

07:36 And with the best.

07:38 I think his comic timing is so nice.

07:42 Some people are good in verbal comedy.

07:45 Some people are good in slapstick.

07:47 I think he does everything.

07:48 All the kinds of comedy.

07:49 His character of Guthi.

07:51 We all really love that.

07:54 But he can do that and also serious comedy.

07:58 So I really look up to him as an actor.

08:00 I am lucky that I got to work with Sunflower.

08:02 If we talk about today's era.

08:04 You have performed in so many movies.

08:06 All three movies have been successful.

08:08 People remember your character.

08:10 And even now, the Kailash Tudi was such a movie.

08:12 That people didn't remember it.

08:14 Whether it was its story or your character.

08:16 People liked it so much.

08:18 But now it is the time that people are presenting big budget movies.

08:22 Like 2000 crores budget or 1000 crores budget.

08:25 So you are not part of three movies.

08:28 You are going to a historical movie.

08:30 Is there a reason for this?

08:32 Reason means.

08:35 God has given.

08:37 You must have got a big budget movie.

08:40 What was the reason that you rejected it?

08:42 You didn't like the story.

08:44 See I think there are thousand factors.

08:47 Who does a movie.

08:49 But I feel that finally God has decided.

08:52 That this movie will go to him.

08:54 We can ask why only Adarsh Sharma.

08:56 For the highest female grossing film.

08:58 Why take someone else.

09:00 I have got that too.

09:01 So I have learnt that I don't question.

09:03 Because to shine so much luck on someone.

09:06 I consider myself very lucky.

09:08 Like you said.

09:09 The way you were praising.

09:11 And you were saying about my characters.

09:13 I think as an actor you work for that.

09:16 By looking at the audience.

09:18 So I just hope I do good roles.

09:21 And the budget of the film.

09:22 Thank God I don't have it.

09:23 I am not a producer.

09:24 So someone else should take that stress.

09:26 I should focus on my acting.

09:28 And I don't know 1 crore or 1000 crores.

09:31 Or 100 crores or whatever crores.

09:34 I have to finance and make the film.

09:37 When there is a good character.

09:39 He should remember me and take.

09:41 But when we were making Kerala Shuri.

09:43 We were making a very small film.

09:45 I am saying budget wise.

09:47 It was an intimate film.

09:49 And we thought that we will release it in film festivals.

09:53 So we made it.

09:55 But now I have done acting.

09:57 Like I am doing a film worth 1000 crores.

10:01 So acting doesn't change.

10:02 If I am doing a music video.

10:04 Or an ad.

10:06 Or a film worth 1000 crores.

10:08 I keep the acting the same.

10:10 So that doesn't really matter for me.

10:13 It is the producers look out.

10:16 The acting in your film was worth 1000 crores.

10:20 It was better than that.

10:21 Thank you.

10:22 What more can I say.

10:24 Because then I don't know.

10:26 The price you said is priceless for me.

10:29 I have recorded it in my mind.

10:31 And I will play it everyday.

10:33 And I will say wow.

10:34 What a line this is.

10:35 So then I don't know.

10:36 Budget is it rupees that you get.

10:38 Or compliments.

10:40 This is a compliment for me.

10:42 So.

10:43 Last time we talked about Bastar.

10:45 Because we talked about Sunflower.

10:46 And Kerala Shuri.

10:47 But Bastar is not a story.

10:48 Bastar is a real story.

10:50 So when you got Bastar.

10:52 Did you read any historical things for it.

10:55 Or anything like that.

10:57 Yes I think any role.

10:59 Whether it is fictional or real life.

11:01 You should definitely do research.

11:03 Especially if it is real life.

11:05 Then definitely do research.

11:07 And I am playing a character.

11:09 Which is very different from me.

11:11 Her body language or anything.

11:13 I was lucky that I met the IG's there.

11:16 The girls who were in CRPF.

11:17 I met them.

11:18 So I did research.

11:20 We did voice modulation.

11:23 Workshops also.

11:25 And Mr. Sudeep said.

11:26 Shout so much that your throat bursts.

11:28 Because I want the voice.

11:30 I don't want a serene voice.

11:32 Not like that.

11:33 You shouldn't take left from Dantewada.

11:35 You should say Dantewada.

11:37 You know.

11:38 Or I don't care about the bell.

11:40 I shouldn't sound like that.

11:41 I don't care about the bell.

11:42 I shouldn't be polite or soft spoken.

11:44 So.

11:45 Yes I worked hard on that too.

11:47 And I am glad you are seeing that differently.

11:49 For an actor that's all I really want.

11:51 You are coming in the movie.

11:53 I will tell you about the color.

11:54 Thank you.

11:55 We have followed you from South.

11:57 Your projects from South.

11:59 I personally worked with Mr. Nitin.

12:02 Yes.

12:03 Your acting and simplicity.

12:06 People like that.

12:07 Thank you.

12:08 Did you see Hindi dub or Telugu?

12:10 I saw in Hindi.

12:11 But it wasn't my voice.

12:13 But the acting is good.

12:15 Thank you.

12:16 It connects.

12:17 Thank you.

12:18 I want to ask you.

12:19 You have done shooting there.

12:20 You have done issues in the Hindi industry.

12:22 Is there any difference?

12:24 In South and Hindi.

12:26 If we talk about shooting experience.

12:28 Or atmosphere.

12:29 Do you find any difference?

12:31 Or both are same?

12:33 Because audience says.

12:34 That there is something different.

12:35 No I think audience is same.

12:37 Like you said.

12:38 Finally it should connect.

12:39 No matter where you are.

12:41 You live anywhere in the world.

12:43 Like Kerala story.

12:44 Released in London.

12:45 And all.

12:46 And people who don't speak Hindi.

12:49 Malayalam and Hindi movie.

12:51 Kerala story.

12:52 They understand.

12:53 And their hearts.

12:54 That movie touched their hearts.

12:56 So I don't think language is a thing.

12:59 And actually Heart Attack.

13:00 Was my biggest film till then.

13:02 As in budget wise.

13:04 And Puri Jagannath.

13:06 Is like the biggest director there.

13:08 And Nitin is like a huge superstar.

13:10 And they took me.

13:12 In this movie where.

13:13 You know I am the solo lead.

13:14 Where there are 8 songs.

13:16 There was no dance.

13:18 Miming of the songs.

13:19 And all.

13:20 But no it's just connect.

13:22 I think finally.

13:23 And both the industries are same.

13:24 We had a DOP who came from Bombay.

13:26 So finally.

13:28 No I didn't really feel.

13:30 Very different.

13:31 Other than the language.

13:32 Which I learnt from the tuition teacher.

13:34 Because I want to know.

13:35 What people are saying about me.

13:36 So if I don't know the language.

13:38 And they are talking about me.

13:39 I don't like.

13:40 So I had a teacher.

13:41 And I learnt.

13:42 So after Kerala movie.

13:44 Your turning point in your career.

13:46 I would like to think.

13:48 So yes.

13:49 I would like to think.

13:50 Every movie should have a turning point.

13:52 In your career.

13:53 Different in this.

13:54 But Kerala story.

13:55 I think.

13:56 Gave me a big platform.

13:58 And.

13:59 I mean.

14:00 Yes.

14:01 People who don't know me.

14:03 I became a household name.

14:05 After that.

14:06 Because everyone has seen the film.

14:08 So maybe that way.

14:09 The turning point is.

14:10 Every movie.

14:11 From 1928.

14:12 My debut was turning.

14:13 But yes Kerala story.

14:14 Of course.

14:15 Put me on the map.

14:17 Thank you.

14:18 Thank you so much.

14:19 Thank you so much.

14:20 Thank you.

14:21 Thank you.

14:23 Thank you.

14:24 Thank you.

14:25 Thank you.

14:26 Thank you.

14:27 Thank you.

14:28 Thank you.
