Katha Screenplay Darsakatvam: Appalaraju Page #3

---

She has only six scenes!

You don't worry, once we start the film.

6 scenes could get stretched

to 16 scenes,

we can change as you wish!

How can you change?

lt's my story, my will and wish.

Who are you to change it?

l'll not change even a word

in my script.

lf Baby doesn't fit your character,

fit your character to Baby!

Till then l'll not lend even a penny!

Baby, come.

Sir, please finish the lunch.

lf l make a film with Dolly, l should

go back to Amalapuram and beg.

l can understand your emotion.

l expected something like

this to happen,

so l've invited another party.

His name is Narasimha.

story is just average,

if you make little changes,

it would be great!

l've a brilliant idea.

- What's it?

Your hero is a painter, right?

remove the brush from his hand and

put a camera around his neck, that's all.

Camera?

What if he has camera?

What would a photographer do?

He'll take photos.

Use beautiful sexy girls in your film,

make them wear micro mini shorts,

and make him take their

photos getting wet in rain.

Sex will ooze from our film!

People would throng theatres!

The more our film is sleazy,

the more money we can make.

Good idea!

- My foot idea!

What's my film Nayaki is about?

A tragedy film running on

sentiments and emotions.

Sex in such a sensitive film.

No Appalraju, sex will be good.

What's good?

Sir, fire such creative head and

appoint a creative brain.

lt'll be much better.

lf you want sex, enjoy it.

Don't watch it!

Who would watch it l do it?

Your story may be great to you, but

to Mastanaiah his girl friend is great,

sex if great for Narasimha,

if your great is important to you,

then their great is important to them.

lf you say no,

then get a top heroine,

great financers would flock to us.

How about star heroine Kanishka

for our story?

Kanishka is a glamorous star!

Why would she accept?

lnside story is that she's fed up

with glamour roles,

and wants to do roles that

would fetch her awards.

Kanishka is right on top now!

lf she accepts we'll be on roll.

What eyes! What a nose!

What legs! What a waist!

What did your parents feed

to raise you like this?

You're taking my life, O ghostly girl...

ls it lips or red oxide?

ls it waist or ice cream?

Your every cell is blowing me up

like an atom bomb...

Your beauty is killing me...

This hot Sun is torturing me...

Bloody!

Your expression is rocking!

lt was my grandpa's expression in

his 179th film holding Sridevi's waist.

l know it sir, your body language too

is what he did in his 50th film.

Whether you accept or not you're

better than your father or grandpa.

How far has your love has

reached with Babu?

Who doesn't love Babu

in the industry?

About the affair...

Why don't you act with any other

Babu other than this Babu?

While working out in gym,

he saw and recommended me,

Do you've any objections on exposing?

l've strong opinions on exposing.

l'll go to any extent

if the character demands.

Do you've any dream roles, madam?

l'm fed up doing glamour roles,

l wish to do award winning

character, that's my dream role.

Okay bye.

Where are you going? Stop!

Madam wished to do award

winning character,

l've a great story with me.

l'll narrate it to her.

Every day dozens of people like

you turn to tell such stories.

Meet KA, her PA.

- Where is he sir?

That red shirt man is PA's driver,

meet him first.

Excuse me sir, who is PA Teja's driver?

- Why?

l want to narrate a story to Kanishka.

So l want to meet PA Teja.

What's the budget?

- Not yet fixed.

Not the film's budget, my budget.

Take it sir.

How many people should l meet?

You bring every day someone

saying he's your relative.

But he's my childhood friend.

l promise on your mother.

Okay.

Story is excellent, l'll tell madam.

You must narrate her after l tell her.

Prepare well.

l'm Appalraju,

l'm here to meet Kanishka.

PA Teja sent me here.

- Please sit here.

Who are you?

- Greetings madam.

l'm Appalraju, l'm here to

narrate a story to Kanishka.

PA Teja sent me here.

- ls it you? Sit down.

Tell me.

Madam...

- Baby has gone out for a jog.

She has asked to hear the story,

you carry on.

Opening shot is a vast desert!

ln that desert, two legs without

slippers are running.

Opening shot is a vast desert!

ln that desert, two legs without

slippers are running.

A lightning strikes suddenly!

Lightning!

Opening shot is a vast desert!

ln that desert, two legs without

slippers are running.

Heroine looks towards sky,

it's thunders and lightning!

She faints and falls down.

Amidst the thunders and lightning...

Heroine running the desert

without slippers, faints suddenly.

Sky is lit up with thunders, lightning,

rain, she opens eyes and sees,

opening titles start rolling,

heroine runs in the rain

and hugs the hero.

That's all, end credits start rolling.

lt's over, Mummy.

- Over?

How many costume changes

are there for Baby?

Not yet planned about costumes.

Manish Malhotra has come

recently from Paris.

lt seems he has brought

new collections.

Any latest fashion,

my Baby is the first to wears it.

Before any other heroine wears it,

let's get all those designs for our Baby.

Excuse me, Mummy...

- What?

Heroine is middle class

character in the film.

So we may not need Manish Malhotra.

Why? What are you saying?

College girls flock to theatres to see

my Baby's new dress collections.

You write the story,

l'll design her costumes.

Carry on.

ls the film important to you

or the costumes?

Both are important.

lf heroine's costumes are not

natural and realistic in the film,

people will not watch the film.

ln the film 'Pedinti Lakshmi',

heroine starves in the film,

but wore saris worth lakhs,

the film ran 100 days in 200 centres.

Did anyone ask about it?

While watching the film in

Amalapuram Ramba theatre,

for this same point,

the man next to me was abusing

the director with the wildest abuses.

No!

People like you and that man

are one in a crore. Just one!

People would love to watch Kanishka

with clothes or without clothes.

Please don't insult my heroine.

Let's do one thing,

once the film starts,

let's select Manish Malhotra,

get him do the costumes as you like.

Opening shot is a vast desert...

Desert? Gone mad?

Select some cool place.

According to story it must be a desert.

Then, do it, tell your producer to

put up a set in AC studio.

Okay sir.

ln the same desert, your feet

are running without slippers...

My Kanishka's feet are tender

to feel hurt for a movement,

infact she wears shoes even

while taking bath,

There would be scorpion in desert,

what if it bites her?

Will you bear the pain?

lf there are any practical problems,

take care of it later.

First let him narrate his story.

As you run, sunrays hit

your eyes directly.

Darling, use latest Rayban glasses

from Singapore for this scene.

Sir, heroine shouldn't wear

sun glasses in this scene.
