Katha Screenplay Darsakatvam: Appalaraju Page #5

---

golden body in 24 frames...

l'll fill the frame with

vibrant colours...

l'll create history in Eastman...

l'll give a run of their money

to Hollywood and Bollywood...

l'll make you a evergreen star

like Angelina Jolie...

Appalraju, l think our film is

hitting roadblock.

Hitting roadblock?

Not hitting, it has hit already.

What happened?

Last night hero and Kanishka

had a big fight.

lt seems Kanishka has broken up

with him in a fit of anger.

Goddess! Such an injustice for

breaking one coconut less.

Babu has affair with Kanishka

in the front,

and running an affair with Bombay

beauty Antariksha from behind.

Kanishka caught him red handed.

- l can't believe it sir.

Babu loves Kanishka very much.

l've seen it with my eyes.

You've seen Babu with Kanishka only,

you haven't yet seen him

with others, right?

He can have affairs with

10 girls at a time.

That's his capacity.

Poor girl Kanishka trusted him blindly.

Forget about Kanishka's career,

think about Appalraju's career.

What career? Your career is over

the moment they fought.

We must meet urgently.

ln film industry we take advance

but never return it.

Don't you know it?

ln the agreement you signed with us,

on page number 16,

according to clause 38 D,

if hero withdraws, you've to return

the loan along with interest.

lf you fail to do so, we'll start

criminal proceedings against you.

l told you to sign after reading

every word but you signed it blindly.

Look, you're in a mess now!

l didn't read this clause only.

lt was enough had you

read this clause only.

l've wasted a month in my life.

Bye, l'll join another film.

You didn't visit Andalamma's temple,

that's why Goddess is angry on you

and she has stopped our film.

l'll offer prayers and cool her anger,

l'll come back now.

ln the times of B.Vittalacharya,

if artistes commit to a film,

there's no going back,

Kanishka and Babu would do their films,

you'll go back to your native place,

but we stay here and face the flak.

l'll face my difficulties,

you face yours.

l told my parents that

l'm making a film.

lf l go home now,

l'll be valueless to my father.

lf l want to stay back here,

what should l do and how?

l was confident when l didn't

get a chance and was struggling.

But now after losing a film, l'm very sad.

Did you ever face such

a situation in your life?

Any time?

What l told you now?

l didn't hear you,

l was typing SMS message.

l'm talking to seriously about my life

and you're typing messages.

My SMS too is serious.

- Serious SMS?

Yes, serious SMS.

Do you think only you're facing

problems in this world?

l got little emotional.

- Me too sorry.

l've got another SMS.

Why are you asking me?

Are you checking your messages

after taking my permission?

l'm asking because it's serious.

- lf it is serious, check it.

Why are you getting serious on me?

My problem is as serious to me

as your SMS is to you.

My SMS is as serious

as your problem is to you.

Your seriousness is yours

and my seriousness is mine.

lt's me PA Teja!

- Tell me sir.

l've booked KT in the place

of Babu for our film.

Who is KT?

- lt's our rebel star KT Rao!

Why would KT Rao agree to do this film?

He won't but our Kanishka

made him to agree.- How?

That's her technique!

lf Kanishka leaves Babu's camp,

she has to join KT's camp.

Kanishka has already told

everything to KT,

you meet KT immediately

and narrate the story.

Greetings sir,

my name is Appalraju.

Kanishka's PA sent me here.

Who is he to send you and

who you are to come here?

Everything is taken care

by Him up there!

Films don't run because of story,

He makes it a hit.

What's the character?

l'm a character myself.

People come to see me.

Are you doing my film 'Nayaki' sir?

Who is doing and

who makes us do it?

Everything is taken care

by Him up there!

My PA will give you my dates.

lt's not easy to get KT's dates.

l didn't give my dates for his

story or for the character,

its for my sweet Kanishka!

He was a side hero in my film,

that bloody KT who was out of

focus standing behind me,

with just two hits in his kitty,

how dare he gets close to Kanishka.

lf he has no sense,

shouldn't Kanishka have some sense?

You're like father of this industry,

you took her to this position, how dare

she rejects and settle with KT!

l want her!

Babu's glamour queen

is my lover now.

Seeing Kanishka by side,

he doesn't die in jealousy,

henceforth my name

shall not be KT!

KT's name is giving me heartburn.

Let's gun him with media

not with bullets.

Media?

Channels, distributors who would

do anything for us,

critics who write reviews

without watching films,

accountants who can fudge

the collections,

entire backbone of the industry

in your family's hands.

Let what ever be in his hands,

l've his Kanishka with me.

Your future is in your hands

not in anyone else's hands.

Yes, you're the only person to

understand me and my feelings.

lt's impossible for anyone

now to stop my film.

l'm not just an expert

in making hit films,

l know very well how to spoil

the rival's films.

Nobody can spoil a good film.

l'll prove that story is

the lifeline of films.

l'll make a film without changing my

characters to suit star's image.

But they say your character is

very small in the script.

That's in the script, watch the film.

Once the film shoot begins what ever

he writes is unnecessary.

What ever l say he must

incorporate it in his script.

l'll turn 'Nayaki' (heroine)

into 'Nayakudu' (hero)

Hail Lord Shiva!

l promise on God,

it's my responsibility to make

Appalraju's film a big flop!

God, bless me that my film is a hit

for all the offers l made till now.

Story, Screenplay, Direction - God

l returned database company's

cheque along with interest.

What? Aren't we doing the film

with Megamax company?

He wants 70% overseas market.

Don't know when he would take

lessons or add new clauses.

Who would finance our film then?

l've already set up another party.

He'll do it for 30% overseas.

- Which company?

He doesn't own a company, but a den!

His name is Srisailam anna.

A big rowdy!

Rowdy?

Will a rowdy finance our film?

All we need is money.

Not rowdyism.

Corporates could be financed by

Dawood lbrahim or Bin Laden.

There's a Don behind every producer.

Srisailam has stopped murders

and turned a good man.

Today also nobody came, brother.

Who?

- Nobody came to bump you off.

Why are you disappointed

if nobody attempts to kill me?

lf nobody tries to kill you,

why should l give you security?

Am l useless man?

lt's an order if l take a gun,

it's a murder if l see,

that's my style!

People fear gun and gun fears me.

But l don't fear you, brother,

l'm brave!

l didn't mean you, but about gun.

The background which you've,

who in this film industry has it?

Brother!

Not background but

rowdies behind me.

Brother, he's Appalraju.

My film's director.

Debut film?

- How did you find it, brother?
