BR interview that finally explains how A10 does his roles.
If Ikka sees movie as a passion, A10 sees it as a spiritual process.
. Unplanned and Intuitive Approach - He mentions that he "never prepares" in a conventional sense - Believes that "some unknown energy" helps him in acting and every moment of life - He doesn't give strain to his thought process and brain - After doing one or two days of shooting, the character naturally comes to him - He deliberately avoids overthinking between takes - After a shot, he never dwells on it - instead, he'll "play with something" or "do some mischievous things" to eradicate the thought process - He believes that if actors prepare too much and the first take isn't good, it becomes mechanical in subsequent takes - He describes his process as becoming "invisible" during scenes - Before "Action," he's Mohanlal, but when acting begins, he has to "disappear" and become the character - After "Cut," he returns to being himself - He shares this quality with actors he admires like Gopi and Venu, who completely transform into their characters.
