In the morning, I will book

your flight tickets to Mumbai.

Thank you.

Drop him and come.

Sir, Please come I will drop you.

No, I will go by myself, later.

As you wish, sir.

Get in...

Hey get in, I say...

Oh Nikki, what a surprise!

What brings you here?

May I come in?

Oh sorry, please do come in.

You have a nice house.

- What are you saying?

- Why?

I am still a struggling actress.

It is unlike your house...

I mean... your palace.

Why have you brought the camera?

I will tell you.

Can you give me some water?

Yes, sure. Please sit down.

No I am going to follow you.

How did you find my address?

If you look hard enough, even God can

be found. A heroine is not hard to find.

Take this.

Thank you.

Nikki, I am embarrassed...

...why are you filming me?

You wanted to be a heroine, right?

This is a small audition.

Audition?

Like this? I am not even dressed...

You look good just like this.

Please stop filming, please.

I am planning to make an experimental

film, will you act in it?

Really? I am ready.

What is the story?

There is a torch shiner in a theater.

He falls in love with a

girl working in a pizza parlour.

Why would the pizza

girl love a torch shiner?

Why not?

Women prefer men who have

better jobs than themselves.

Why? Don't they prefer

men with better character?

Character is important...

but it's not enough.

Then let us write

this script together.

Done!

Deal!

Whose photo is on the mirror?

Hey, you shouldn't look at all that!

Dad, that guy who

came home that day...

- where is his house?

- Who?

The one the broker got home...

Why? Which boy?

Dad, that torch shiner in the theater...

Oh that guy! Why?

I don't know anything about him.

Where is the broker's house?

- Gowdanapalya

- WW?

- What are you up to?

- OK, I'll be coming home late tonight.

You have dinner and go to sleep. Bye!

Hey Shwetha!

- In the game, but a dummy player!

- Mother, is Venkanna...?

Venkanna is gone!

He has orphaned us!

In one hand a broken moon

In the other a torn slice of bread

To the game that

these two were playing

She did not come

Why did she not come?

She did not come

Why did she not come?

In the game, but a dummy player

I am only a dummy player

I gathered the stars in a flower bowl

Before I could string them

Sunlight streamed in

Everything disappeared

I gathered the stars in a flower bowl

Before I could string them

Sunlight streamed in

Everything disappeared

They say God has written

my fate on my forehead

Give me a mirror

Let me read it

Even if I find the mirror

Everything is topsy-turvy

How do I read my fate?

God is a shrewd fellow

In the game, but a dummy player

In one hand a broken moon

In the other a torn slice of bread

To the game that

these two were playing

She did not come

Why did she not come?

Brother, one balcony ticket...

Someone scribbled my fate

My damned destiny

Hey Soma, give me the tube.

What should he give you?

Oh, it's you!

In the heat of youth,

he slips from a ladder!

Why are you acting like

this in front of this girl?

- It hurts...

- Keep quiet!

- You can speak to him now.

- OK uncle.

Please sit down.

Sorry...

Oh, you didn't do anything,

I slipped from the ladder.

That's not what I meant...

That day when you came to the shop...

I hurt you...

I am sorry...

Oh, that day...

Are you in love with me?

When did I say that?

Oh you don't love me? Then fine.

No, no. that's not what I meant...

I am in love with you...

Next time when I ask you something...

answer me properly.

Do you know any job

other shining a torch?

Idli-vada, chow chow bath,

kesari bath, khara bath...

Masala dose, plain dose,

set dose, what shall I give you madam?

That loafer used to charge

80 rupees for a haircut.

So I thought it was very profitable

and decided to join the barber shop.

Tomato, beans, potatoes,

drumsticks, brinjals, vegetables!

No, no, no, this is fine...

But being a torch shiner

in this sort of theater...

This talkies was built

by Shankranna's father.

Say "theater" and not talkies.

Thetru...

- No, say "theater."

- Thetru...

OK, let it be.

Do you at least have nice clothes?

Yes, I have one in

red and one in pink...

- I'll have to change you a bit...

- Why?

I can't tell my friend you

are a torch shiner in a talkies.

Why can't you?

Shankranna,

Shankranna, the projector is calling!

Hey, go and change the reel I say,

the alarm is ringing.

Hey, I want to see as well!

What is this?

The carbon has to be set...

What happens on this side?

This is the main thing...

I must firstly speak about Nikhil sir.

Working with him is

a matter of great pride.

The heroine madam

is like family to me...

Look at the title...

...Rome...

There is "Om" power in it...

God willing...

This movie has to go the Oscars!

Thank you everyone...

I pawned my jewellery

to put 20 cores into the film...

The hero is like my god...

the heroine is my family also...

Jai Andhra!

Shooting was like a picnic...

I am really excited and

I am waiting for the release.

Thank you so much...

Welcome to all the media persons.

Rome is a very different movie.

I'd like to seek your support.

Thank you...

Please explain your

relationship with her.

Her name is Shwetha...

I like her a lot...

I love you Shwetha...

Applause...Everyone!

Madam, can I take a picture of yours?

Why mine?

You look very fresh...

Super!

Please remove your jacket.

It'll look hot...

Beautiful, madam, beautiful!

Beauty ma'am!

Stop this!

Wear this jacket...

Why? Only you should see it, is it'?

Nikki, Nikki...

...what's wrong with you?

Nikki, let's go...

Nikki, stop it!

Sir, sir,

sir, don't take it personally...

You are like my god sir...

Sir, I was not there...

...had I been there,

this wouldn't have happened...

Please pardon him, sir...

it's just his hot bloodymindedness...

The Chamber should ignore this.

Look, look at what

the media is reporting.

He just slightly pushed him,

that's all...

but the media is hyping it up...

Sir, I will call you back.

Nikki, where are you going?

Shwetha's house...

You have to go apologize

on live TV, come...

Why should I?

What does that mean?

I don't need the industry...

the industry needs me!

If they need me, they'll come here...

The one you beat

up is no ordinary guy.

Damn...he thinks it's a game...

Hello!

OK, sit down...

in diverse fields.
