Katha Screenplay Darsakatvam: Appalaraju Page #8

---

Look Appalraju,

a critic's job is,

saving the audience

from the filmmakers,

not the other way of saving

filmmakers from audience.

Would you be happy if our films flop?

lnnocent Appalraju!

lf a film flops, the most happiest

people are other filmmakers.

Forget about all that.

l've buried many a genius like you.

Who are you to bury or push to top?

lf the film is good people will watch it.

lf it isn't good, they won't watch

even if God recommends.

People are not in the stage of

accepting your silly reviews.

Don't think commenting

a creation is creation.

Story of KT and Kanishka starrer

'Nayaki' directed by Appalraju,

gossip from the unit says it's a copy

of French film made 32 years ago,

and songs are straight lifts from

latest music albums in Europe,

KT and Kanishka's combination

is too bad in stills also,

Babu and Kanishka's combination

is super hit combination,

people who had welcomed

this pair with open arms,

and they're unable to imagine

KT next to Kanishka...

What's this nonsense?

Why is he talking nonsense

about my film?

This is Babu's strategy.

He would've bought them with money.

EV and Venkat have good

connections with TV media.

l'm unable to understand anything, sir.

All this negative publicity

would spoil our film, sir.

Nothing will happen, you don't worry.

lf they've media with them,

we've much more powerful support,

we've Deivagna Acharya.

Who is he?

An astrologer who can convert

negative talk into positive.

Entire film industry depends on him

more than trying to make a good film.

Tell me the third letter of your

great grand father's name.

My great grand father was Kanakaraju.

Third letter is 'Ka'.

- Ka?

Last number of your car number.

07!

- 7!

Nayaki..ki...7...

lf you repeat three times the

second letter 'Ya' in 'Nayaki',

and 'Ki' four times,

if you change the title

to 'Nayayayakikikiki',

it'll run for 100 days.

What? 'Nayayayakikikiki'!

Audience may not understand it.

lf planets understand that's enough,

who cares about audience?

Appalraju, if you change your

name to Appapparararaju,

your film will run for 150 days.

Raki, if you change your name

and reverse it as Kira,

this film will run for 200 days.

- Okay.

You too change name as Agnanachari

instead of Deivagna Acharya.

Our film will run for a year.

You'll live for 200 years.

lgnorant man!

You're insulting sacred text.

lf l curse, your 'Nayaki' will go kaput.

What ever you may say,

my film is 'Nayaki' and l'm Appalraju.

There won't be any change in it.

Raki, if you want change

your name to Kira.

Thank God, didn't tell me to

show the film to people?

Who is he...

- He's good man, but innocent.

Can't avoid it, please excuse me.

ltem song from his film is more

popular than my film's item song.

Everywhere l hear the same song.

When l travel in my car, even my

driver's ring tone is that song.

Dresses of models in his film are

shorter than models from our film.

Exposing is sensational!

The mistake l did was,

l cut the obscene shots

in the song separately,

audience mustn't support

such films and such dances,

l ran a campaign.

But my entire campaign backfired.

lf clippings are like this,

how would the full song be?

Youth are craze about it.

Song has become a raging hit.

They've filmed their song richer

than our song.

Who is financing them to

make a rich film?

He has stopped rowdyism

and entered film industry.

The song was also written by Srisailam!

Bloody bastard!

Srisailam?

l know how to deal with him.

Kill them boys!

What happened?

lt's stuck, forgot to bring coconut oil.

You kill them boys!

Have you also forgotten coconut oil?

- No bullets, brother.

No?

- No, run out of bullets.

ln the recent shoot out,

we ran out of bullets,

second delivery...just a minute.

lt's engaged.

Send the bullets, bloody!

Send it immediately.

He's fighting, we're going crazy.

Send urgently.

Brother, don't kill, he's our man.

Our man?

- Yes, no attacks on you,

to keep them fighting fit,

l had arranged this drill.

Mad boys, seek brother's blessings.

Brother!

Finding nobody is attacking me

l think you'd kill me someday.

Definitely, brother.

l'll kill you and then kill myself.

- Why?

l've been working you for

so many years,

nobody has ever made

any attempt on your life.

Why should l work

unnecessarily for you?

Brother Srisailam!

We're in neck deep trouble.

What happened?

Commissioner called and warned me.

- What?

lt seems someone has complained

that goon is financing my film.

Babu is very close with Commissioner.

May be he would've told him.

Brother, if we put your name

as the presenter,

l'm sure everyone associated

with you would be in jail.

This society can't tolerate

if a criminal turns good man.

Correct brother.

lt can't tolerate a gun in my hand.

l'll convert pen into gun and

kill everyone who stops me.

l'll write epitaphs for them.

No...no...film has come out very well.

Your song is also a big hit.

lf you murder people in rush of blood,

the craze for your song will

diminish and film will get stalled.

We've to take to guns and

follow you as your henchmen.

What should l do now?

Your name shouldn't appear as producer,

let's consult Deivagna Acharya and

change it to Tirupathi or Annavaram.

He didn't like his name so he killed his

father and named himself as Srisailam.

How dare you want him

to change his name!

Brother, order me, l'll finish them.

Let's do one thing,

removing your name as presenter,

l'll put your girl friend's name Sarala.

Like proxy property owners,

let's run the show on sister's name.

Once the police trouble is cleared,

then let's call a press meet,

and announce to the world,

that brother Srisailam is the

man behind this film.

Till then if you stay underground,

this film will reach top grade.

Brother!

Would you at least credit the

songs to my name?

Not just opening titles,

l'll run your name in end credits too.

l'll remove the interval card

and run your name card.

Yes brother.

Appalraju, all our problems are solved.

Cinema too is fantastic!

Next is release only.

The most important man

for the film is coming.

The most important man for

a film is director, right?

No, Appalraju! lt's distributor.

Ontikannu Gavarraju, AP's no:1 distributor.

Even the biggest director wouldn't

know the flaws in his film.

But Gavarraju decides a film

is hit or flop in just half minute.

l'm the sound of your foot steps,

l'm the air of your breath,

l'm the thought of your imagination,

l'm always there with you.

This is a CG shot, sir.

We'll adjust in re-recording.

Foreign technicians are coming.

How is the promo, sir?

People who watch this promo

don't have anything in it.

Nothing?

The film's heroine isn't exposing.

- Expose?

Our film is a tragedy, sir.

lt's a good heart touching film.

Audience aren't satisfied with

just a heart touching story,

it must touch them in every place!

- Every place means?
