Сиддхарт о кино в его жизни.
At a very young age, I told my dad I wanted to be in films, not knowing what it would be or what in films that I wanted to be in. So the lack of clarity or the over-expectation of wanting to do everything, has actually led to me not restricting myself from a decision making process, where if I had to pick one out of three choices, I have always picked up all three. From being a thespian with “The Players” (Kirodi mal college) to MBA (SP Jain Institute of Management) to being assistant director to Mani Ratnam (for Kanathil Mathumithal) to acting, it indeed has been a roller coaster ride. I was with the debating society in college. I was jamming with musicians and was in a band and in theatre too. I think it was in my college is when I came into my own. So when I went to Delhi University, I came into this happy zone which made me do a lot of things where I could creatively indulge myself. Ironically, I even look at my MBA experience as an even bigger splurge into creativity because I had very little to do with the academic process but more to do with the two big things that I associated myself with; one is finding myself as a human being, as a creative professional and second, I made friends for life in b-school, who are my closest friends. Most of them older than I was, in fact, I was the youngest in my batch. Many of them told me that “you’ll want to direct films all your life but all you would end up doing is acting”. I had bets with my classmates that I would become a director and that’s when I signed out of placements in college. I had a lot of jobs but then I decided to go and work with Mani Ratnam in Chennai I dreamt of being a director but I guess life had other things in store for me.

I did write scripts for films, learnt direction, sung in many of my films. Juggling with so many hats was not easy for me but I was confident I could deliver on most of the faculties of entertainment and cinema. I never structured my life to take a course that was chartered out for me. In those days, I have never done anything that I have not been asked to do. So in terms of writing, people said you should write for films and I ended up writing for a film and likewise for singing. I never pushed anything as an agenda, it’s always that life just kept happening to me, inch by inch, moment by moment.

I am trying to find my space where I get to practice my method where I don’t compromise or the bastardization of my own process. So I am your quintessential lover boy in Telugu but I have made sure I won’t explore territories that I am not comfortable in, like I don’t like vulgarity or violence and I keep them out of my films. Films like Rang De Basanti or Bommarillu and now Striker, are the films that help me explore the method actor in me. From start to the finish, these films required staying in one character and that’s what I enjoyed about this process. Not undermining the fact that my most impactful performance, from an audience stand point, is my first Telugu film with Prabhu Deva called Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana. It had everything; the song and dance, extreme energy, the humor, dramatic histrionics and everything that launched me as a commercial star.

I find it hugely contradictory that people say I do too little work; like I’d do one film a year but on the other hand I am told, I indulge in many things at a time. The right way to put it is that when I am working on something, I feel the urge to give my all to the medium and I end up doing everything. But when I am not working I kick off my shoes and not worry about the time going by. My sabbaticals have been different, ranging for 2 months to 7 months. People who stuck by me said I’ll be out of sight & out of mind but I knew deep down, you’re only as good as your last release. Luckily for me, most of my last films have been commercially viable and at the same time have not been overtly genre bending or breakthrough kind of films, but definitely not run-of-the-mill.

If there was one interesting project I was to pick up from my repertoire, I’d pick Blood Brothers. Blood Brothers is a special film for me. Vishal Bhardwaj and I wanted to make a film for long. With just a phone call I agreed I’d do the film and in a week we had shot the film. We had taken up this project as part of the Gates foundation and also that we were working with Oscar winning cinematographer Guillermo Navarro! I enjoyed working in a short film, it is interesting and challenging at the same time. You get far less screen time to establish far more stuff. The most exciting part for Vishal and I was working with Guillermo. I’ve learnt a lot working along with Guillermo, that immaterial of the fact whether you are in India or any place else, all filmmakers go through the same challenges, everybody has to fight the studio system, battle the suits and all the horrors of an Indie filmmaker. The exciting part was that before Blood Brothers, I had gone to The BAFTAs with Aamir and Guillermo introduced me to a table at the dinner which I will never forget. A round table that comprised of Alfonso Cuarón , Alejandro González Iñárritu, Gustavo Santaolalla , Pedro ALmodovar and Penelope Cruz and next to me was the most influential of them all, Guillermo del Toro. That night I could never forget because I felt like I was back in hostel and people are talking about an imperfect world and how they want to change it. It all felt so surreal as though impossible things do happen. I am not much of person who is star struck or one who runs for an autograph but if not for those couple of hours of dinner and drinks with them, I wouldn’t have come anywhere close to what I am today.

And now for the cinema I like; I am not much of a director driven cinema watcher. I think directors are not consistent from what it is. A film is as good as it works. Directors are human, films are not. Films like Citizen Kane had changed my life forever. At the same time there was Bharathi Rajaa’s Muthal Mariyathai or Kamal Hasan’s Nayakan and Satya. Mohanlal’s films like His Highness Abdullah and Kireedam were also my favorites. My parents thought I got into films because I watched films more than anyone else they knew. Right from Ghatak and Ray to completely enjoying films by Singeetham Srinivasa Rao for being the best of commercial cinema! I always believed that there are films that work and then there are films that don’t. No other title applies. I don’t go by the ideology of commercial or the avant-garde or dogma. I have never been into all those names. I watch films without any prejudice. I am as much for a solo comedy to a French minimalistic film. I don’t allow myself to have role models but if I were to pick up two filmmakers out of the blue; it’d be Billy Wilder and may be François Truffaut because I think they never went with set of rules, they never started out as making a comedy or a drama. They just made films that came out of their hearts. Truffaut and Diamond are still considered the greatest screenwriting combinations of all time. When Wilder crossed over to the US, he was asked at the immigration about what he does. To which he replied “I make movies” and the person said “Make good movies” and let him into America. I like that form of passion for cinema and everything that is associated with it. In my next post I will talk about the genesis of Striker.
