'Honestly, I just love my work. When we're working, we hardly get any personal time,' Sachin shares. 'But I feel getting to work in this industry is a blessing. The fact that people recognise and appreciate our work—that's the best feeling. The love and respect you receive is beyond words.'
For Sachin, fame hasn't been something to chase, but something to respect. 'People give you so much love and respect—it truly feels like a blessing,' he says with humility.
Before becoming a full-time actor, Sachin was into martial arts—a passion he still holds close. 'Acting gives you a platform to showcase every talent you have. That's the beauty of it. Whether it's action, drama, or emotion—every bit of you can find expression.'
With the entertainment landscape rapidly evolving, Sachin believes the shift is evident. 'In the next five years, the industry is going to move more and more toward OTT platforms.
The reach and content freedom there is immense, and it's changing how stories are told.'
While he finds much to admire in the current ecosystem, Sachin maintains a balanced view. 'The industry already attracts so many people because it's dynamic and aspirational. But one change I would welcome is more consistent opportunities for real talent—especially those without godfathers. And secondly, better mental health support systems for actors dealing with pressure.'

Sachin's process for picking roles is simple yet insightful: 'For me, the only criteria is whether I'll get to explore something new as an actor. Growth is key.'
When asked about the competitive nature of the entertainment world, Sachin responds with honesty. 'Yes, someone's loss becomes someone's gain—it's the reality of the profession. But I believe in focusing on my journey and doing justice to every opportunity I get.'

This Malayali music producer's French song remix was streamed over 100 million times on Spotify
How does 23-year-old Sachin Sree Sabari, better known as Sachin SSS from Kerala's Palakkad district, connect to 'Dernière Danse' (French for Last Dance), the 2013 French track by Indila that has racked up over a billion YouTube views? The song, which became the first French-language music video to cross that milestone, is a favourite soundtrack for countless Joker tributes to DC's infamous anarchist. Also read: DJ SixEight on the viral 'Starboy' X 'Praayam nammil' mix : 'We have not used AI in the video' A few months after the song hit the billion-view mark, Sachin dropped a funk-infused remix and uploaded a tutorial to his channel in November 2023. 'Dernière Danse Funk' has since notched up over 100 million streams on Spotify — fuelled by Indian Instagram creators using it for transition videos that mimic the Joker's signature smirk. However, this recognition did not come easily for Sachin. 'I used to produce tracks and post tutorials during my college days at RLV College of Music and Fine Arts, Tripunithura. As soon as I posted a tutorial, I decided to take a short break from releasing music online, until one day, I saw a comment claiming that our track was the same as the one by a few foreign artists. This track was published after our video came out,' he says over a Zoom call. The track was released by artists ZODIVK, MC KRAKEN, and YXUNGXROTICA in February 2024. 'I was very upset when I learned about it. I contacted the artists and the streaming platforms, but they were not willing to help. Then, I shared my concerns, with proof on social media, which garnered response from a few artists,' says Sachin. The artist had created the groovy funk track in less than two hours. Sachin was directed to Navaneeth Krishnan, an artist manager. 'He reached out to the label that owns the track,' says Sachin. 'It took us six months to add Sachin's name to the track's credits. It was clear that those artists purchased the project files, which were meant for educational purposes,' says Navaneeth. 'I am very happy about the track crossing 100 million streams online,' says Sachin, who is a self-trained music producer. Sachin also gained the right to release a track, 'Dernière Danse Funk (Deluxe Version)', with a Malayalam verse, 'eth mood? pwoli mood!' (translation: How's the mood? Great!), a homage to his mother tongue. Sachin has worked with composer Christo Xavier in projects such as Turbo and Sookshmadarshini. Currently, he is working on Rahul Sadasivan's Diés Iraé and a few other movies. He is also working on a few tracks of his own.

He saw his work in Brahmachari and felt that he was fit for this role. Took three days to shoot the scene Talking about his death scene, Sachin said, 'On the first day of my shoot, the scene was being shot where my body is brought to the village after Gabbar kills me. It took three days to shoot this scene, and the entire cast was involved in it.' Sachin's scene was cut from the film The scene where Gabbar catches him and kills him was not shown in the film. When Sachin was asked about this, did he feel bad about his scene being cut? Sachin replied, 'When that scene was removed from the final cut, I was initially disappointed, but from the director's point of view, I understood why it was done. I was told that the runtime of the film had to be controlled. Also, Ramesh ji felt that showing the murder of a 16-17 year old boy on screen would be too cruel.' During this conversation, Sachin told that Ramesh Sippy had gifted him his first air conditioner. He had installed that AC at his home. Sachin said that this is a special memory.
