"Kamal Haasan has a tremendous experience of cinematic life" - Sab John | Guna | Kamal Haasan

- John Edathattil (credited, sometimes, as Sab John) is the screenwriter of Guna (1991). In this video, he talks about writing a script based on the Sri Lankan civil war for Kamal Haasan, and then writing Guna when that project was dropped. He speaks about writing through a personal crisis, and the various aspects of the character of Guna (the religious nature, the 'thaali', his hatred for his face). He speaks of how Kamal improved the "Pentathol" scene with his acting, and also his inputs to the screenplay. He speaks of how Ilayaraja heightened the screenplay with his magnificent score (and that "letter song"). He speaks of how visuals (like the cave) enhance a screenplay, how to make a 'unique' script more mainstream, and whether screenwriting can be taught. He names recent films he liked for their screenplay (Pizza, Soodhu Kavvum, Maanagaram, Vikram Vedha, Dhuruvangal Padhinaaru), and says how much he was affected by Balaji Shaktivel's Kadhal.

Anybody here after the release of Manjummel Boys, Guna and Kanmani Anbudan song?
🖖
Have seen this video when it was uploaded. Rewatching after watching Manjummel Boys.
Ilayaraja BGM took the movie to a different plane
Genius at work
Couldn't agree more.
Nice film the aesthetic illusion love between guna and roshini Abirami... A beautiful story that makes us realize that someone is there for us to love ourselves
Where is the heroine in guna movie??
Plz don't worry about the views! Keep the show running!This video will earn till youtube exists!
Gopinath Rajsekar Thank you. Yes. Views are important. But just letting that one aspect determine content is of no use.
Very well said
Super sir.
Baradwaj Rangan beautiful interview sir. I have watched this earlier. I m a big fan of KamalHaasan Sir. You made my day. Do continue your great work.
❤️🔥
Is there any actor in this world whose movie has been discussed liken this. Thank you Kamal Ji
@Chang Komara these two stupid comments I am seeing everywhere
Good to know, Bharadwaj.........Kamal Hassan - A gift to Tamil Cinema along the lines of Sivaji Ganesan (when it comes to "heroes", because there are several others in the supporting actors category like Nagesh, Manorama, Nassar etc.).....I wonder WHO ELSE could have pulled off a Guna or Mahanadhi / Salangai Oli / Anbe Sivam / Moondram Pirai / Thevar Magan / Unnal Mudiyum Thambi / Chaplin role in Punnagai Mannan to name a few of his GEMS. No one else comes to my mind.
Wow! That bit where BR drew parallels between moondram pirai and guna. Just blew me away. Way to go BR!
Shriram Devanathan that blew me too. Didn't see that coming, but it's true. Kamal in both films, acting as a guardian to women that are still strangers to him.
It brings chills n tears when I watch that hospital scene from #Guna. Wonder how he pulled it off!
#GodOfActing
Loved the interview. Expecting more interviews of screenwriters.
#Guna is one of The Epic Screenplay Shows The God Loving Man loves the God Girl The Screenplay The story Connect to the People The Writer Explanations Semma Super #KamalHassanEpicThroughHisActing Semma Super 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
The living legend who celebrates his bday today... 😎.. Happy Birthday Kamal Hassan Sir
Happy Birthday King Kamalhassan. Long Live Ulaganayagan Padmabhusan Dr. Kamalhassan. Salute Bigg Boss & Pride of Indian Cinema.
Master Kamal!!! Respect... Happy Birthday Superstar
I think I better stop watching this video and start to watch GUNA once again
Phenomenal video.. groundbreaking concept.. pls continue
Aditya Raghavan Thank you. We plan to do many more.
great respect to Mr.Hassan ...greatest after satyajit Ray.
Haven't Manjumal boys fans arrived yet?
11:58 'Cinema is an exaggeration not life'......!

I first listened to the dialogue that precedes the song "Unnai Naan Ariven" portrayed on Rekha & Kamal, on the cassette. I was STUNNED by the emotions he could deliver just by uttering them (without any visuals). When I watched the movie later, I thought he deserved EVERY BIT of accolade he got and he deserved more. IR MUSIC gives the movie yet another unimaginable dimension.
John here , Sab Chettan for me has been a very close family friend of mine. A brilliant writer ...! Hope to meet him soon....
Phenomenal screenplay writer!!
The transition from Script to Screen was wonderful. Thank you John sir
they forgot or hide abhirami bhattar's real story from which the character of Guna was created. Abhirami bhattar says today is pournami to the abhirami Devi temple priest... ! It's a real awesome story very few knows.
Can u explain.. couldn't understand
Thankyou for this 😀
Keep doing more of such interviews 😍🙏
Glad you liked it. Stay tuned!
19:37 Goosebumps
happy birthday kamal sir... a legend in action..
Just realised Sab John played the role of one of Naxals in the movie Kurudhippunal 😯 who gets shot by Kamal behind the theater screen
A big, big thumbs up for the effort. Hope, I get to see more of this.
Sure we'll bring more great contents!
This man is a genius!
Great writer and great interviewer. Everyone is in awe about Ilayaraja whose genius is unparalleled. I can't think of the movies without IR's score.
A Movie way ahead of it's time. Bombed in the BO, despite co-release with Thalapathy
Such a satisfying video to watch. It's always adorable to watch experts in their craft talk about their creative decisions. Amazing interview!
Totally enjoyed this tête-à-tête! The passion in Edathattil’s eyes are infectious! And the structure and flow of the interview was flawless and impeccable! 28 min well spent for me!
The Complete Actor of world Cinema - one & only Kamal hasan.
This guy came in kuruthipunal
Its an unbelievable movie.. kamal sir acting is just omg..ilayaraaja sir just lifted the feel of the movie to next level.. i loved heroine roshini acting in the movie
John Edathattil played a role in Kuruthi Punal?
One of the best and most insightful interviews I have seen. Heading off to know more about Sab John !
Few days back watched Guna after very long time, couldn't come out of it till now.
Very well written movie n the the wonderful dialogues.. loved the heroine n the shortlived cute romance between the lead.
Rosie character has got a new dimension... a deep insight indeed 😅 thank you bhardwaj sir for this interview
Wow.... No words.... Bow down to BR, John and Kamal.
Aarti Christeen Thank you. And do spread the word about FC South.

Abhirame batar lyrics??? Paathiii keluga yeipdi atha oilla yeduthutu vaintharu ???
Guna title is Story&Screen play SAPJOHN....
This guy john edayathil same one?
Thank you so much BR and FC south for this amazingly brilliant interview....I was always waiting to listen something about the making of Guna from thalaivar kamal and his team which till now has not come up until you brought this up .... thank you so much again !!!!! Please capture such interviews on Thevar Magan,Sathya, Mahanadhi, Virumandi, Apoorva Sagothargal ...need some interviews from Singeetham Sineevasa rao sir, Santhana bharathi sir, P C Sreeram sir, K Vishwanath ji, Suresh Krissna Sir etc !!!!! Brillaint screenwriter John Sir... !!!! Please make use of these geniuses and allow them to work at what they are best at !!!!! and Rosy as a sister in Guna just blew me away...I was guessing like BR as someone who wants to marry Guna and has a soft corner for him !!!
legendwarrior85 Thank you. We plan to cover many more films.
Mathikettan Solai would have been more apt title. Whatever, whoever made the decision to go with Gunaa, didn't realise the intensity of this title
Rossy sister ah 😂 BR and I gave a similar reaction there I guess.
Karthik Rengarajan Yeah. I was stunned too 😁
best way to wish B'day to legend
what an excellent interview
srikanth Kirs Thank you.
Balakumaran's presence was totally forgotten !
vijay kumar Not "forgotten." This was about the screenwriring. We did not go into dialogues because this is only about this one facet.
No guilt..! I feel am in a edu session..! And why does this John Edathattil reminds me of Jack Nicholson? :D Too random eh?
I still remember I was restless after watching the movie in a theatre called Ashoka in Bangalore, it had a long lasting impact ,
And now when it is analyzing with its screen writer, A great tribute
today after watching munjeyellsam boys
Great video BR sir every aspiring writer would be have a great experience watching this video thanks alot for this and keep it coming time to time.
Lijo Varghese Thank you. Stay tuned.
An awesome interview. Really the Master of Cine Interviers #BR
Awsum BR sir!!👍🏼👍🏼
Keep rocking!!
Guna super super super super super super super super super super super super super
Now that was something worth watching. Salute.
missed questions on Chanakyan ,which is perhaps a better movie i must say
Happy birthday Kamal Hassan Sir
Happy birthday
Sab John sir great interview
Sab John sir, an artistic soul!
Abhirami roshini interview please sir
Excellent interview. Though the RUclips algorithm perhaps suggested this on the back of Manjummel Boys, Sab John's explanation of Guna screenplay and the development of characters is outstanding
So many years after I watched the movie, the sparrow motif has been my reference to the film. I was worried BR was not going to get to it. Thank you.
An amazing new series. Hoping for more such insightful episodes.
Vigneshwar M P Wasn't it lovely how the sparrow motif connects to the other animal motifs in the film?
Yes. Rohini's fear mirroring the sparrow's when they enter the house. The way Guna responds with fox calls and talks to sparrow showed, as John Edathattil explains, that he could communicate with the animals while others felt strange. Also, another small reference was in the cave where Rohini draws a parallel to them being in a cave to a couple of bees inside a Lotus.
I really wanted to watch the writers perspective of guna movie which I watch after seeing mannum mel boys. I am impressed by the story and his writing.
Guna ......*Goosebumps* 🙏🙏🙏🙏 but still keep avoiding from seeing.....too heavy stuffffff 😭😭 true Ji. A love story of those times won't workout this day of so called internet love with breakups like way of the World! The true love of those days I would say is avoided on purpose this day for ...... *The attached **#painful* 😓😪kids face enough pain in reality even b4 falling into a relationship at home itself with internet impact and so they no more want more pain from true love. That's the fact!
Abirami Battar claims that today is Pournami when it is not, because Goddess Abirami said so in the original story. Then the Goddess herself throws her nose ring to the dark sky and shines like a full moon, to honor his devotion. That scene in Guna refers to this in my opinion.. where Guna accepts that its Pournami because Abirami said so,
Saw the film again after many years. It was a near perfect film.Amazing writing. BR Sir, where is the actress Roshni now ? It's such a pity that she gave a sterling performance and was not seen in any other films after that
She acted in a Tamil film and few Telugu films which were only bad films and didn't extract the best from the actress. May be Abhirami is just enough, at least to me.
@@Michael_017Do u remember her Telugu movie names
this is a brilliant interview.
awesome, wanna see more videos like this.
Looks like Jack Nicholson
Quite an experience :)
OMG.. Was Rosy a sisterly character? You gotta be kidding me man!
I think he acted in Kuruthipunal as one of the terrorist.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
John sir is explaining patiently but BR is moving very fast and we are not able to absorb.
Very clear why they chose to work with each other. Wave lengths match and at the sa me time they have a mind of their own
BR... majority of times over analysis a scene....
Where is Roshini the actress of Guna Movie what happened to her why she left Cinema - Truth???
She is rich , she did it one film for fun
@@yaaro4471Acting in guna wouldn't have been actually fun for her. Shooting in the cave n lying on the shoulders of kamal in half of the movie wud hv been strenuous job for her 😅😅
02:50 📝📚👌
Namaste mom and best friend all famali and all friends all india all words thanks
Sab john was acted in kuruthipunal
Wow excellent interview. Thoughtful questions bringing out exactly what was in the mind of the script writer. It would be hard to pick films from tamil cinema that had such deep characterization , subliminal motifs and larger themes than just where the story is set in.am waiting to see what movie u select next to go in depth.
Such a meaningful interview in midst of many on-line obsolete topics....
Please do one interview with jeyamohan about naan kadavul..
This interview aged well.
Super
Kindly teach more about screen writing by interviewing various writers
Super with a silver spoon touch
Kamal sir great man.
Make an interview of Indian 1996 with shankar
The movies is world movie
Guna story inspire by abirami anthathi, writer Balakumaran said that his question and answer section in his pocket novel. Guna was not commercial success that time. But the same theme use kathal konden by the same writer. Balakumaran use the abirami anthathi theme in many of his novels..
kadhal konden writer is selva
