Tomorrows today

Don't be late. They'll expect you

Who cares?

It's all fixed from before

Of course. I've fixed it

They'll never say no to you

Just like me

Tonight I'll tell you

a Hrithik story! Promise

Heard that

Thrice

What about the Shahrukh one?

Heard that too

Need to see a film

to tell a new story!

It's not the story.

You don't like me anymore

Purandar, coming for the program tonight?

- Yeah, yeah

You want the Jobs page?

I am a businessman!

Why do I need a job?

Is there a Story page?

Something fresh?

Aren't you behind?

Behind?

Aren't you late?

They said they needed

a security guard

They did

They 'waited

Then took someone

Who?

What do I look like to you?

Congrats!

It's a good job

A bit boring, but it suits you

Gotta stand like a zombie all day.

But it's good

Well done

How much?

It's mine

Not for sale

They're shooting a film

With Ranbir Kapoor

Go stare

Don't you want to?

He's too subtle for me

Get out of my sun

Ranbir's just tall that's all!

What's so star-like about that?

You think you're better?

I would be if I had

his family and connections

You don't have a

role in there, right?

Just hereto keep us off?

Everyone has a role here

Kunal!

The collision guy is not 'working!

We need a new one now!

You're from Satara, right?

Yes

Get me someone from the crowd!

My wife's from Sangli

I can tell where you come from

by the way you speak

Not the Extras!

From the real onlookers!

What's the title?

- Bad Attitude 2. Worth a billion

Natasha get the collision guy

from the onlookers!

Expensive film to make

Expensive to watch too

What's the story?

It's a big story

No. The little one. Move!

Will you act?

Can you act?

Please act!

Your name?

It's a small scene.

Over in minutes

With the Hero. Up for it?

What do I have to do?

I'll explain

Don't let him go. Call Costumes

You stay!

You ready?

- Of course he is!

You're the one!

Don't forget to sign my fanbook

Step over

No one bothers the artiste

this side of the rope

So, you 'walk this 'way.

The Hero 'walks this 'way

On my mark, you bump into him

Bump?

Then you 'walk on

Is it right to bump the Hero?

Right is what I tell you to do

Artist ready! Call Ranbir!

Don't encourage him

MY lines?

What?

If I get my lines

I could practice them well and...

Lines?

Ma'm, Ranbir will take ten minutes

Right, your lines...

English? Hindi? Marathi?

Ok for you?

There you go

Practice away

Here?

You 'want a trailer now'?

It's quiet near the costume truck

"All the world is

a stage my friend!"

"And.."

"And we're but puppets..."

"Go get a confession

from the man..."

"...who carved THIS on my arm!"

"I have..."

an appointment with death!"

"And my name..."

"My name..."

"Friends!

Villagers! Fellowlovers!"

"I'm only doing

what Shirin did for Farhaad..."

what Romeo did for Juliet!

"Hey!"

Line too short for you?

Speechless in a speaking part?

Teacher?

"Fs a lie that I love life

more than your love...

...but your lie belies me

the love I love more than life!

Wanted something like that?

Aren't you dead?

Look who's talking

Show me the line

It's nothing. Waste of time

Know your problem?

If the line were longer

you'd complain it's too long

Why do you always taunt me?

Go. This is not for you

What's wrong with me?

This needs 'work

Not your cup of tea

This is

Why Can't I?

I was your understudy

for three years

Stood in for you in Sangli

when you had the Stroke

Did King of the Stage

for a whole week!

"A shelter! A roof!"

A roof! A shelter!

For the King of the Stage!

That 'was ME not you!

Everyone sawthat

broken old actor was me!

A young ingenue

111s applause wouldn't stop

Why can't I do this two bit part?

Because you love gifts

Happy new year!

Here's the State Award!

Merry Christmas!

Here's the lead part!

Teacher's had a stroke,

here's King of the Stage!

You don't like earning it.

You love getting gifts

What did I get?

I asked for the lead after Sangli

Did you give that?

Will you gift me

your father's pension?

Will you?

Your Social Security?

What?

You play it safe

A job here. A business there.

111eatre when it suits you

And those who jumped

in blindfolded, risking all

Why should I gift you

what's theirs by right?

You wouldn't preach so if your

father was laid off by the mill

The mill closed domm

for all their fathers too!

They're 'waiting

Go and tell them "No"

By the way,

why's your character saying "Heyl"?

I bump in to the Hero and"

Frig the bump!

What happened before the bump?

What after it?

Are you saying it with your eyes?

Your gut? Your heart?

Which "Hey" is it?

SOT!

I forgot, you're not doing it

I live here these days

She asked for you twice.

Shot's ready

You gave us a scare. Come

What's up? Stage fright?

The bump won't 'work

Why?

I can see the Hero from miles away

Why should we collide?

Natasha where's

the collision man?

You have a newspaper?

I read and walk. We bump.

I say my line and...

Think this is a joke?

Ma'am he wants a newspaper!

Good idea!

The Trumpet or The Front.

Not The Times

The glasses were a nice touch

Ever acted before?

Say something.

- What?

Where's the hero?

On his 'way. There he is!

Ranbir's on set!

That's him?

Straight that way. After action.

Not before it

Break a leg

Cut!

Ranbir you wanna lose that cap?

You started really well!

We'll try it again

Cut! Focus!

Get that down out at there

Are we done?

Got to do it again

Who did he call a clovm?

He thinks he's funny. Never mind

Hey!

Cut!

Why did you stop?

You should have walked on!

Got it. Perfect. Moving on

It was good! You were good!

Even the big guys need seven takes

to get it right

You nailed it the first time!

Your number.

If there's something again...

Stay here. I'll get your money

Know what your father did today?

Because I'm beautiful,

I'll be Miss India.

And I'll send

every single child to school.

When I grow up I'll be ajockey...

because I like horses

and I like speed.

I want to be a veterinarian...

and build a big home

for all the street clogs.

I'll be an astronaut...

because there is no gravity

in outer space and I want to y.

I want to be a tennis player...

I want to represent India...

and appear on TV.

Spiderman!

I can climb anywhere

and jump from anywhere.

And nothing will happen to me.

I'll be a lawyer...

I like helping people.

Moreover, I never lose an argument.

I'll become a cop.

I'll catch the thieves

and I'll get a bike.

Businessman.

I want to run my dad's factory.

And make lots of money.

I want to play football...

I don't know...

I don't like anything else.
