These three actors Alia, Shefali and Vijay Verma they're amazing
Before I walked in for the meeting, I knew that whatever the part is
I’m going to do the film that's how excited I was about working with that team
There is a lot that I’ve seen in Prithvi that inspires me and
I saw it consistently on every single day of filming
It's an it's a lovely film, it was a very exciting script to read so
I’m glad you're curious I hope it comes out well
Today we have with us the golden boy of Malayalam film industry Roshan Mathew
and I’m very excited to chat with you. How are you?
I'm good and that's very kind, thank you.
First things first, I wanted to start with saying like you've done Moothon, Choked, C U Soon
and now Kuruth,i you are unstoppable and picking some of the most phenomenal content so
how do you know make that difficult choice of picking out the right script?
I've been very lucky because these films actually came to me I mean with Moothon there was
hardly any choice to be made before I walked in for the meeting I knew that whatever the part
is I’m going to do the film that's how excited I was about working with that team and a lot of these
films that you've named are like that you know when Fahadh called me saying there's a
lockdown project we're planning I knew already that I would do it because I was waiting to
work with Fahadh so it's just that these people come up with, they always come up with amazing
stuff you know and I’ve just been lucky to get called for a few of those so it's not like I picked
these extra special films out of a pool of you know a mixed pool films
or anything these are all like
Yeah, these are all films that are already a yes before I even know what it was
Okay now coming to Kuruthi, Karan Johar just tweeted that he's excited for the film and it's
getting a lot of hype and response and I must say it would be in you must be feeling
incredible but are you nervous or does it make you more confident?
No, it definitely doesn't make me more confident the two things that happen so anytime I get
excited about a release I automatically also get nervous because it's difficult to deal with a
negative outcome when you are excited about the release so usually, I try and stay as neutral
as I possibly can I try and keep telling myself that hey this could go either way so just like
yeah just wait for release day with Kuruthi there is some level of excitement for sure.
How has your experience been with working with Prithivraaj
any learning experiences that you can share?
It's an extremely inspiring experience I don't know whether I can say it's a learning
experience because of all the things that he does or has got going for him or his qualities that
I admire I don't know how easy it is to just learn them merely because you watch them but it
is definitely inspiring it sort of makes you want to strive to be that when you are 100 films
only if you ever managed to be a hundred films over you know that itself is I mean it depends
on fate and like all these other abstract things I guess which you can't predict but there is a lot
that I’ve seen Prithvi and I saw it consistently on every single day of filming and after and that
means a huge deal to me and it's been such a brilliant experience working with him and I had
built it up in my head already when I did the film called Koode with him and I came out of
Koode wanting to work with him more and in the two years, two and a half years that
passed between Koode and Kuruthi, almost three years actually I kept once in a while at least
thinking about it so you know you have your expectations set pretty high
and then you go work with the man and he meets it and more so that’s pretty cool.
Apart from that you recently also shared a few photos with Alia, Shefali ma'am as you
wrapped Darlings. How was that experience? And the happy
photos have left us curious, I must say.
It's a lovely film, it was a very exciting script to read so I’m glad you're curious I hope it
comes out well. For me, it was an entirely different experience from everything else
I’ve had so far, it was a completely different kind of film it was a much bigger you know
platform than that I had worked on and these three actors Alia, Shefali and Vijay Verma
they're amazing I didn't I mean again so I went in knowing that they're great actors but I
didn't expect to have such a great time just watching them work and you know getting to play
with them and getting to do these scenes with them for me has been a very memorable
experience so sort of everything else around you disappears when you do a scene
with them, that's beautiful.
Yeah, they're incredible.
You must obviously be having a lot of female fans going gaga over you so how do you deal
with that and is Roshan Mathew in love is the sentence that she asked me to ask you?
I am in love with a lot of different things and people and movies and books and songs in the
world and yeah the other thing it's there's no there's nothing to deal with it's good to know
that you are liked and in as far as long as you're an actor I feel like I don't know if it is that
way but even if someone says that they like you or they like your work you sort of
take it to mean that ha, they like my work so because it feels like one wouldn't be happening
without the other so it is at the end of the day just you know it gives you some sense of
validation, it can gives you happiness so there is nothing to deal with there it's just about receiving.
Does it ever overwhelm you?
No, I mean like I try to not let it also there genuinely hasn't been an overwhelming amount of
anything that you know filters through to me finally I need a slightly you know distance life
from everything that happens around me sort of keep to myself a lot
so very little filters through and that's never been overwhelming.
Now to conclude I must say congratulations and best wishes for Kuruthi.
I am looking forward to seeing you soon and looking forward to seeing you in Darlings as well.
Thank you.
Thank you, thank you so much. Please watch Kuruthi.
Sure, thank you.
Bye.
