He got the message.
On this day in 1986, the first unit began filming THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS at Pinewood Studios, marking Timothy Dalton’s first outing as James Bond.
SSR in Conversation with Penn State Filmmaking Students , A student asks him about Mahesh Babu and his upcoming film #Varanasi.
Q: You’ve worked with actors like Prabhas, Jr. NTR and Ram Charan, and after working with you, they went on to become huge stars. But this time, you’re working with Mahesh Babu, who is already a massive superstar. From a filmmaking perspective, does directing an already established star change your approach or make the process different for you?
Rajamouli: I never choose an actor just because he is a superstar. I choose someone who truly fits the character. Once I choose them, I expect them to trust me,
and I’ll guide them to give the performance the character needs.
Yes, Mahesh Babu is a huge superstar. But with Mahesh Babu in Varanasi, I expected him to give 100%, because that’s what I know he is capable of. But once I started working with him, he completely exceeded
my expectations. He went beyond everything I had imagined and gave 200%.
He really nailed the character and surprised me with how much he brought to it. He did much more than I expected, and that made working with him on Varanasi a really special experience.
@LagAshwin2898AD@urstrulyMahesh Firstly, I ain't superstitious, but my instinct says Babu collaborating with a Tamil director once again, after the debacle of Spyder, may not end well for him. I don't want that to happen to him. Any day, I'd prefer Ravipudi and Trivikram to the directors in question.
@Bhavani_117 True, we all bring our own lens to what we read. But that doesn't mean every interpretation is equally faithful to the text. There's a difference between interpreting a work through your perspective and bending the work to fit your perspective.
Besides, there are many people out there who interpret stories through their own rose-tinted glasses instead of seeing them for what they are. Shame they don't even realise it. They just project their own psyche onto what they read, is all. Nothing else.
Reacher getting renewed for Season 6 while Season 5 is still in production is insane
Amazon found a formula where a 240-pound guy walks into a small town, punches four corrupt guys in a diner, refuses to elaborate, and gets back on a Greyhound bus and they are going to run that exact plot until the sun explodes
