do l've to tell you that also?

Okay sir.

As you run, you faint

because of hot Sun.

lt's difficult for her to keep

feet in desert,

how can you ask her to fall bodily?

Do one thing, use beds or pillows.

Suddenly is starts raining heavily!

Rain in desert?

That's my directorial touch.

lf she gets wet in rain,

she'll catch flu.

Arrange the rain with hot water.

- Okay sir.

You get up in the rain and start dancing!

Should she dance in the

desert rain without slippers?

Use a dupe!

lf l've to use a dupe,

why would l book Kanishka?

Do you've any common sense?

Give me a cigarette.

After that...

Getting Kanishka's dates isn't

an ordinary thing.

lts your luck.

Not luck sir, it's the power

of my Nayaki's story.

Okay, agreed.

l've called 10 assistant

directors for you,

interview them and

select candidates you like.

l heard you've years of experience!

l was born in 1957 the day film

'Mayabazaar' hit the screens.

after watching film 'Shiva',

l had decided never to direct a film.- Why?

Were you scared of not making

a better film than it?

What a lousy film it was sir!

Even a cycle mechanic would take

10 minutes to remove cycle chain,

but Nagarjuna snaps and

picks it instantly.

ls there any logic in that film?

l was so upset with audience

who made it a big hit,

that l decided never to make a film

and settled down as assistant director.

Not the film you like the most,

tell me your name.

What genre of films you like?

l don't like any films.

Don't you like films?

- l don't like films.

lf you don't like films,

why did you then enter film industry?

To make a film l would like.

l'm here to work as assistant for

livelihood till l get a chance.

What' your name?

That is...

What's your name?

Brother, Annamacharya, sir.

Why are you so scared, Annamacharya?

Nothing sir.

You say nothing but...

Sir, my mother told me

to respect elders.

Look, we're going to work

together here,

there's no difference of

senior or junior.

Please don't say like that sir.

l've brought this for you sir.

What's this?

To make your film a hit, l've offered

prayers to Goddess Andalamma.

Keep it there.

Sir, your film will be a super duper hit!

Were you an assistant director

for the film Titanic?

You've many cousins.

How is the story, sir?

Story is good but pace is

stumbling block.

lf the film has BN Reddy's screenplay

and Adurti Subba Rao's drama,

it would be much better.

How do you feel it, Annamayya?

Wonderful! Astonishing!

l feel like l was born to work

for this film.

lf this film doesn't run for 400 days,

l'll stop going to Tirupathi.

Get up...get up...

Sit there.

What's your opinion?

Do you like it?

l'm making a film because l like it.

How do you feel it?

You like it, so make a film,

why are you asking me?

You needn't have to tell me

to make the film,

just tell me why you didn't like it?

Why do you want to know

why l don't like it?

Are you making the film for me?

You're making a film for public,

they'll buy tickets to watch the film.

Why the hell should l bother?

My foot!

l'm asking your opinion as

an assistant director.

l'll say not good,

will you stop making the film?

Tell me, will you stop making the film?

How do you feel it?

l meant should you've to ask

me that also?

lt means you like it, right?

l've arranged a meeting with

Megamax company.

Megamax company?

- A big corporate company in Bombay.

They've opened a branch here also.

Now we're doing business

in corporate level.

lnfact our film's finance is...

You've a company head.

Tragedy story!

Heroine oriented films run only in places

like Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Maldives.

They don't watch our Telugu films.

Recently released 'Arundhati'

was a heroine oriented film,

it was a super hit!

lt wasn't a heroine oriented film.

- Then?

We're not saying it but our research

and development database says so.

What authority it has to say so?

Films like 'Sharada' and 'Kartavyam' many

years ago were heroine oriented.

How could they become

blockbuster hits?

By then our research and development

wing wasn't developed.

What do you want us to do now?

lf you book any top star as hero

for Kanishka, we're ready.

Sir, hero's character is too small.

Entire story is based on Kanishka.

No top hero would accept this role, sir.

That's your problem, what can l do?

She too can't do anything.

We're ready to finance if you

book any top star hero.

Our database says so.

Why did you go blank like that?

There's chance of Babu doing

this character.- How?

lt isn't just enough to write stories

to become a director,

you must get to know

industry's illegal points.

What's correct?

l asked you what's correct?

Correct, but what's correct?

Come on tell me.

l thought he would've said correctly,

so l said correct.

lt's a public secret that Babu and

Kanishka are having a secret affair.

lf Kanishka posts this message

in a weak or tender moment,

Babu would do the role

without a protest.

To make Babu do such a small role,

there must be something special

in that character, right?

There is madam, in one scene,

you come running and

hug the hero tightly,

for that scene if there's another

hero instead of Babu,

what would become of Babu's honour?

lf you checkmate him with such

dialogues, our job is done.

l'll talk to him.

You're very lucky that Babu has

agreed to do your film.

Babu and Kanishka haven't

yet given a flop.

There's great demand for

your product in the market.

You've made table profit

with a hit combination.

Have you signed all the pages?

- Over sir.

Take your cheque.

That's yours!

This is our new office.

You've made big stars to accept and

directing a film without background.

lt took a year for heroes to okay

the story in LV Prasad's time.

Shooting went on for a year.

The film used to run for year.

Now they're writing a story in one hour,

heroes are okaying it in two hours,

they're filming it in two months,

the film runs for two days

and leaves the theatre,

you've become a director straight

away, you're lucky man.

This film is taking off because of

Goddess Andalamma's blessings.

lt's all God's grace.

Keep this vermilion, sir.

You're also happy, right?

Why should l be happy

if you make a film?

You're also working for this film, right?

l got appointed here long back,

why should l be happy now?

lf you're happy, be happy,

why should l be?

Unbelievable this is, Raju...

Give me a shake hand,

what a surprise...

l got a chance to make film...

l'll show romance on the screen...

l know your talent, advance congrats...

Raju is no joke,

l'll prove my talent...

All the best, go ahead...

create a new record...

While you walk on the road...

l'll take a shot amidst flowers...

l'll show the beauty of lips

and imbibe it...

l'll show what Kareena

and Katrina lack...

l'll give a new Bapu's doll

to the industry...

l'll capture the beauty of heroine

in camera...

l'll zoom in to film 24 carat
