I remember actually after you interviewed Mission Mangal cast
it was a huge cast so we got lot of messages
personal Dm's saying we want personal solo interview with Nithya
that's why I user to tell you listen let's do something
finally we are doing it before I move in to Breathe
I want to ask you this that today is the time
there was a time when women was not given the due respect in cinema
in Indian cinema all languages
today specially in South women are shouldering biggest of films
do you see that change coming because you are seen in that zone
do you see that change coming
I think there was always cinema like that and always cinema like this
it was always there I don't know so much
lot of time I look at older cinema and say wow
depends on what you are exposed to
I wish I was there when Satyajit Ray was making films
I would have love to be part of something that
but that's not there anymore
it depends on what you are exposed to at any point in your life
there was always good cinema being made there was always very interesting cinema being made
there was always commercial cinema being made
so both are there it's just that maybe in today's time
everything is little more exaggerated
this is what I feel like when I read those comments
I feel like cinema today because of avenution of every kind of avenue
has become very universal emotion
we are open to cinema from everywhere not just from India
outside the world globally and web has made it possible
it is your digital debut Breathe
reach out to much larger audience
did that play on your mind when you were signing it
no when I was signing it not playing my mind but I had this intusion
I had this feeling like this is going to be a good one
this is going to do something amazing for me
this has will take me to direction of that I dreamt of going
the potential that I have and how little is use when
at least this far when I was doing my work
and thought of how much more I can do how many different kinds of things I can do
when I think of new space opening up
I could feel more hopeful and feel it could all happen finally
love what you said this is exactly what you said
it's not always about diet and food people might thing we are eating
and people will forget about the other issue that comes with it
you are right and people don't realize the wake up call for them
Apart from Breathe I heard that you doing Jayalalithaa biopic
now that everything is pretty on stand still
that film was in that something we planned
we didn't have any deadline for us we didn't had to do anything for that
to get that film right was very important to director and
everybody involved so she said
let's not think about when we come out or when we shoot or whatever
let's make sure we have right people the cast the right crew
it is a big task you are undertaking
we don't want to do it lightly
pretty much pre production was going on when all of this happened so
right now everything is unsure
but this same biopic is made in different avenue
like Kangana has made one if I am not wrong
Ramya Krishnan has made one on web is it
than there is one which is Kangana biopic Thalaivi
so is there kind of all of you are coming together
is there a different story
I asked the director when I got to know about it
what do you want to do look there is another film coming up
want to do this if there is something coming up let it be
she wanted to so it because of very personal reason
she was extremely fond of her and very
also close to her as she has interacted with her couple of times
she knows quite a bit about her personally and stuff like that
she told me Madam let them do it
who ever wants let them do it we will also do it
I said that is great way to look at it
let everybody whoever wants to make it
what is the big deal we also make the film and
we do the best to what we and how we looking
so everything is like our film the way it's structured is slightly different
is what she told from the way they have structured
shooting different films and as long as person is not competetive
feeling like there is somebody else
and they just doing their film that is important
there was also rumor that you had to also decline the offer
biopic on wrestler Karnam Malleswari if I'm not wrong
no that is absolutely untrue I have never got anything like that
but would you ever want to do that
I don't think I will suit it at all
I don't think I will suit it in any which way
how can someone approach to me to play
you are terrific actor and you can do most
also it's a biopic is very important thing
you need to look like that person you need to able to you just can't
cast any actor in a biopic
the actor should have physical ressemblance
that I think it has to be there
it's pretty much up there with being a good actor
you also need to ressemble the person you just can't take anyone
so I don't think they will ever approach me either
but are you in touch with your Mission Mangal team
because that was a wonderful team it has the best energy
when we were doing those interview it was so much fun
yeah we still have a group and everything
and once in a while say Hi and this and that
initially quite a bit we use to be in touch
to plan vacation and stuff which all of us knew that will never happen
but we are still in touch we message once in a while
so yeah still in touch I did speak to Akshay Sir
few months ago I don't remember when last
I guess we will also have sort of warm thing towards each other
beautifull
before I go I have to ask you these two questions
when I spoke to Vidhya Balan and Tapsee Pannu
after the release of Mission Mangal
so I was telling them there is a scene right
we spoke during our interview also where you guys lead and he is right there at the back
and AKshay Kumar delivered in highest opener
his highest grossing film at that time
with five women
How does it make you feel
have you ever nudged them about it
you needed that five women around to get that number
I don't think he needs that the fact that itself shows
he is really good guy I am fond on him
but I don't know I think of it as
I mean Mission Mangal was such a group success
it;s not anybody in particular so
but any Bollywood films that you are looking forward to '
or signing or talking in terms with
not as if now because I do have 3-4 south Indian films to do
so I am not really signing anything now I do have breathe
but maybe once breathe is out then let's see
lastly I have to ask this because of the situation in the country
you can avoid if you want to I am not going to push you into this
The Jayraj and Fenix case that
I don't want to talk about it
it's okay I will not push you for that
but thank you for this lovely conversation it was long pending
once this lockdown is over we do have to meet and do one more
yeah, definitely Thank you for asking me nice questions
it kept me quite engaged and involved
Thank you
I loved your T shirt by the way the donald duck
cartoon wearing a cartoon
Thank you I am going to watch Breathe I will tell you once I watch it
of course it is going to be amazing
Thankyou so much
