Actor Nagiyev criticized the prevalence of war films, called war war, and explained why he stars in «Yolki»
«I wish you a Happy New Year, I wish you peaceful skies».
At the premiere of the film «Yolki-12», a correspondent asked actor Dmitry Nagiyev about the secret of the «Yolki» franchise's popularity. Nagiyev replied that interest in «Yolki» would only grow, as viewers are tired of war films.
«So many films about war, there's simply no strength left. Grayness, dirt, this illusion of a peaceful happy life», — said Nagiyev.
The correspondent also asked what adventures the actor had experienced recently.
«You ask me, in the fourth year of the war, what adventures have happened in my life…?» — Nagiyev replied with a counter-question.
At the film's presentation itself, Nagiyev also delivered a small but sarcasm-filled speech.
«Judging by the fact that you came to «Yolki-12», foreign content in our cinemas is completely screwed», — he said.
He said he starred in the film for money and thanked for this opportunity:
«Having starred in «Yolki» once, you sign a contract with the devil. I thank my greed — otherwise, there would be no one for you to admire today. Thanks to the production complex for the opportunity to earn money for medicine. Though, kill me, I don't understand what kind of people are glued next to me on the poster.
Yesterday they sent me a script… Yolki, bitch, 13… As my grandfather used to say, real heroes don't wait for lubrication, so we'll work. I wish you a Happy New Year, I wish you peaceful skies. Enjoy!»
Dmitry Nagiyev first commented on the war through a silent but transparent gesture — on March 12, 2022, he posted a black-and-white video on Instagram where he shaved his head to the song «Train in Fire» by the band «Aquarium» with the line «According to new intelligence data, we fought ourselves». In the caption, he wrote: «Goodbye. We will definitely meet again. I love you, despite the bitter taste of lost hopes. As my grandfather said before communion: «What have I, an old man, done?», which many subscribers interpreted as an allusion to his attitude towards Kremlin policy and the war.
