In response, the actress replied, “It was amazing. I love how they work over there. I love how they treat a movie, like a movie. Like a work of art and a work of cinema. They really give it that respect, scale, and magnitude. They have so much conviction in their storytelling. Siva sir is the captain of such a big ship with high stakes.”
“It’s a huge film, but he is so calm. He is also lovely to talk to and easy to work with, that you feel protected as an actor. Jr NTR just walks into a frame and it becomes alive. His energy is contagious,” the actress added.

3. Prithviraj Sukumaran on working with Mohanlal as a director
Earlier in 2024, Prithviraj Sukumaran enjoyed an exclusive chat with Pinkvilla ahead of his film Aadujeevitham, aka The GOAT Life’s release. During the same, the actor was asked about his 3rd directorial venture with Mohanlal and the lessons he learned from the superstar.
In conversation, the actor said, “The greatest of actors submit themselves completely to the filmmaker. Mohanlal sir is a legend obviously and one of the finest actors we have had in this country. He is experienced enough to read a script and know what is required of him as an actor, but he will always come to you and ask you, sir…what would you like me to do?”
“I have made Lal sir do 17-18 takes, and not once he has asked me why. He'd never ask me why I need another take, and that is a lesson everyone should learn,” the actor concluded.
Moreover, Prithviraj Sukumaran also revealed that he was sure about Prabhas starrer Salaar becoming a hit in theaters. Additionally, the actor also added how everything in the film would make sense when the sequel arrives.

Natural Star Nani sat down for an interview with Pinkvilla exclusively ahead of his last movie Saripodhaa Sanivaaram’s release. During the same, the actor was asked about the chances of him appearing for a cameo in the sequel of Kalki 2898 AD starring Prabhas.
In his reply, the actor said, “Did he say that? I didn’t know it. Nothing. No, we’re all very, very close, so right, he must’ve said that. We never discussed anything.”
Additionally, the actor also remembered how he was getting calls from people after Kalki 2898 AD had hit the big screens. He said, “It was strange because even I remember down the day Kalki released, I was seeing so many messages on my phone. I was like, what? Why me? Everyone decided that I’m there. So... But no, we have never ever discussed.”

5. Sivakarthikeyan opening up on the cameo scene from The GOAT with Thalapathy Vijay
A couple of months ago, Sivakarthikeyan, Sai Pallavi, and director Rajkumar Perisamy came on board for an exclusive interview with Pinkvilla. The actor who was basking in the success of Amaran was asked about his iconic cameo appearance in Thalapathy Vijay’s The GOAT and how he felt when the superstar “passed the baton” to him.
In response, SK revealed that “His (Thalapathy Vijay) legacy is his own, and no one can touch that or take it from him. I see that as a very sweet scene where our senior, a very big star, is sharing the screen with the next-generation star. That’s the only thing, and maybe I felt he was giving his love to me; that’s how I perceived it, and I’ve taken it that way.”
Furthermore, the actor added, “His journey of over 30 years has been filled with his own struggles and battles to reach this level, so I can’t just go and take that and say, 'From now on, I will continue that.' It’s not that way.”

6. Rashmika Mandanna on feeling surprised when hearing rumored boyfriend Vijay Deverakonda’s voice for The Girlfriend teaser
In a recent interaction exclusively with Pinkvilla, Rashmika Mandanna revealed her surprise at hearing Vijay Deverakonda’s voice for her movie The Girlfriend’s teaser.
The Pushpa 2 actress reacted to the voiceover and said, “That is an interesting thing because, firstly, he is not in the film. He has like supported us with his voice, but what was interesting is that they actually cut this teaser out for my birthday. I didn’t know that he gave a voiceover. For me, it was a surprise.”
Furthermore, she also added, “A few days back when I got the teaser and watched it, I was like, Wait, that is Vijay’s voice. What is going on? I think that sort of added a magical element to the teaser because there’s music and visuals and the direction, but his voice just made it all the way more beautiful.”

7. Kamal Haasan and his plan to experiment with Mani Ratnam's film, Thug Life
Kamal Haasan was seen in 2024 returning with his character Senapathy in Shankar’s Indian 2. Ahead of the film’s release, the legendary actor had a candid conversation with Pinkvilla where he was asked about doing an outright Hindi movie similar to his classics like Chachi 420, Ek Duuje Ke Liye, and many more.
In response, the Vikram actor said, “That’s what I’m convincing Mr. Mani Ratnam to do with Thug Life. We are halfway through it, but I think I can convince him. If that happens, it will be a unique experiment where after midway we decide to make it in another language. Let’s see, I can’t speak without his collaboration.”
Moreover, the actor also added, “I think now, thanks to telecommunication and OTT, the nation is coagulating into one. So language is not a big problem now, and cinema has its own language. You cannot anymore parochially divide cinema into 22 parts; it's all one part, and you’ll understand that’s why Chaplin works for a boy from Paramakudi.”
