feel more powerful and we do things we shouldnt be doing and i also think that we have all been in a place where we are torn between what is right and what is wrong and we end up doing the wrong thing and feel guilty about it and the rest of our lives we live justifying our deeds even though this is a character from the 16th century i think the human emotion was very much relatablemollywood already has an amazing movie oru vadakkan veeragatha about chekavar chandu i know i am a hard core fan of mammootty and mohanlal i have watched almost all the movies they have acted in so far however i consciously stood away from watching oru vadakkan veeragatha i should admit that i was really tempted to i know that there is no one in the world who can match up with mammoottys performance he is such a fantastic actor and when an actor like me watches it i will definitely try to emulate it or maybe copy it or pick up something from it i felt it will take me away from the originality of what i can do tell us about the experience of mastering kalaripayattu years back i had practiced a little bit of kalari but never with this sort of intensity there was someone who had flown down to mumbai from kerala for more than a few months and i was trained under him constantly it was amazing and obviously very challenging because kalari is a very difficult martial art a lot of weapons were used in this movie and i had to get trained in them too especially urumi which was very tough to handle i suffered lots of wounds and cuts so like people usually say i have put my blood and sweat into this film laughsseems like you have become a fan of kalaripayattu yeah for me kalari is the greatest form of martial art it is not only about fighting there is a lot of grace and fluidity and it is beautiful to watch as well it is spiritual and every posture and every movement has a strong reason and it links you to something in fact when i first started as an actor the first thing i got trained in was kalari i still continue to practise it as i really want to master itthe trailer of your bollywood film dear zindagi is creating a lot of buzz here i am eagerly waiting for the movie directed by gauri shinde which has shah rukh khan and alia bhatt too everybody in it are incredibly talented i am also doing a movie named raagdesh a film based on the indian national army inaand the red fort trials of 1945 directed by tigmanshu dhulia again a really interesting story and i am shooting for it currently it is one of the most important chapters of our history and it is very sad that we havent been taught
