that I am going to direct..

...If he is going to go out

of mood on seeing me?

Udhaya! Have we come

here to argue?

Mr. Pachalam, though he has

is going to be the hero..

...there has to be a certain

rapport between the hero..

...and the director to

takes things ahead.

If you don't use words

rightly then..

...things would only

move backwards.

I'll inform Saroj Sir.

There he is.

Do you remember all

that I have said?

Sit there.

Greetings.

Sit.

Beautiful house. Is it an old

house or did you buy it?

Buy it! Huh! Every grass

that you see there..

...Is Saroj Sir's own idea.

Isn't it now?

In everything the aesthetic sense

of an artist is obvious.

This is no big deal. I just

put it all together off hand.

I am building a house

on the beach.

The floor and walls are

made of Italian marble.

But Italian marble

is so expensive!

All the furniture

is from France.

Chandeliers are from Thailand.

Everything is so expensive!

Everyone complains that super stars

charge exorbitantly.

But can the people who

say so reduce the..

...price of Italian marble

and Scotch Whiskey?

Saroj Sir has Royal Salute

in the morning.

Black Label in the afternoon.

And Chivas Regal at night.

Can I serve you a drink?

- Not now.

Hello. Yes. It is the minister.

What news, Sir?

I hope you haven't forgotten

us wretched guys!

Is it? When? I will be in

Uzbekistan on that day?

Isn't it?

- When?

And the next day I am

leaving for Copenhagen.

I am going as there as

a guest of the state.

If not in person do

tell me if there..

...Is something I can

do for you, my dear.

That's no big deal. You

must improve the roads..

...between Adimali and

Munnar real fast.

I need to use that road often.

And I'll take care

of that right away.

Pachalam.

- Sir.

Send him a draft of

2 lakhs right away.

He needs it for some orphanage.

Don't you see great people

take a lot of money..

...but also have expenses

of that kind to be met.

Why don't people

understand that?

Shall I tell you a fact?

I need 1.5 crore to get by 1

month with great difficulty.

In some months it may

go up to 2 crores.

Which month is that?

- April.

That's what I was saying.

Directors don't understand

our problems.

I don't want to waste time

talking about our problems.

Pachalam.

- Sir.

Call Oberoi hotel and order

for lunch for two.

What about you?

- We'll have later.

OK. Let us get to the point.

My PA read the story

you had sent.

It would require

many corrections.

For example; the part that has

me arrested by the police.

That will not happen.

I want to beat up the policemen

who come to get me.

I must beat them and make

them fall on the ground.

And then I will walk

off in slow motion.

There will be round of loud

applause in the theater.

How will the story progress

if you are not arrested?

Who says so? I'll tell

you how it should be.

After I bash up the policemen

I walk away and..

...head straight to the DGP's

office hold out my hands..

...and say.. 'Arrest me.'

Isn't that heroism?

My audience will not be

able to bear it if some..

...good for nothing policemen

come and arrest me.

This character is not inhuman

to beat up policemen, is he?

But isn't it me who will

be acting the role?

Don't I have to think

about my image?

That's all right. How many scenes

do have in the movie?

Could be around 51.

In that case buy 51

cooling glasses.

So that I can change

them for each scene.

But this character..

- Forget about the character.

I am not intending a movie

without a character.

In that case find someone

else to act for you.

What is this Udhaya? This

is only a discussion.

Is there any need

to take a stand?

But it is for me.

You haven't come

to me to make a..

...movie with me out of

love for me, have you?

You have come to me

because I have the..

...backing of lakhs

of fans and you..

...want to make money

out of that.

It is not because I have read books

by Stanis Lowensky

I hope you understand

what I say?

Mr. Saroj, we shall make

this movie at any cost.

We shall discuss everything

and do accordingly.

No, no!

I'll say all that I want

to while speaking. OK?

If I must do this movie then,

on my arrival at the set it..

...won't work if I am called by the old

name based on old memories.

Everyone must refer

to me as Sir. Sir.

Get it?

From here up to

Kasarkode there..

...must be some 50 fluxes

of the movie.

And only I should sing in it.

My head and my full figure.

My head and my full figure.

Like that and like

that and like that!

'Your head! Just come

to act then we'll see.'

'Hey Stanis Lowensky! This

is just the beginning.'

'You will learn about

the rest soon.'

if the shooting must begin

on 17th then your art ..

...section must begin the work

on the sets from the 1st.

I have already booked for

three rooms from the 1st.

Will we be staying

inside the studio?

Sasi, Ramoji Rao film city

is a place that has the..

...facility to accommodate 10 or

more film's crew at a time.

There is no need to drive from..

...Hyderabad to that

place everyday.

There are five stars hotels

and ordinary hotels.

Many vehicles for

transportation.

And enough stuff that you

would need for shooting.

There are 8 aides coming

along with Saroj Kumar.

Pachalam Basi, makeup men, two..

...guys to hold the umbrellas

and what not?

I don't know how we are going

to handle all of them.

They are the kinds who

are to be blamed for..

...Malayalam cinema

getting tarnished.

Isn't it the kinds of

you who tolerate..

...his moods to capture

the market?

We don't have a choice, do we?

I forgot something!

Our hero's flight ticket

is not confirmed.

I'll go to the travel agent.

In any case there is no need

for me to see the sets.

It would do just fine

if you saw it.

Thank you, Sir.

How is the set?

How is our set?

- I didn't go there.

Why?

We must shoot for this movie

in the MGR film city at Madras.

What?

- Only that will work.

Please make all arrangements

for that.

Are you mad, Udhaya?

All arrangements have been

made here to begin..

...the shooting the film on

the day after tomorrow.

Do you have any idea how

much money I will lose because of that?

What is the problem here?

The problem is with me.

A director's mind is his cinema.

If his mind is not in it

everything will be lost.

Haven't I told you everything,

baby Kuttan?

It was for her sake that

I renounced cinema too.

And I went to work at a hotel.

The woman who kicked me with

her feet ruthlessly..

...Is acting in some

Telugu movie. - Here?

How can I shoot my movie..

...at a place where

she is around?

I don't get you.

When I inquired I found

that they will..

...be shooting here for

many more days. - So?

Can't you understand

my state of mind?

I can't!

We are investing lakhs of

rupees to make a movie.

There is no scope for a

person with commitment..

...to that movie to think

of anything else.

He shouldn't!

What if we run into
