Udayananu Tharam Page #9

Wash your face and have tea.

Udhayan, have you ever treated

me as your friend?

Why are you asking so?

If so, then I want some

freedom to say something.

Liquor won't help you

to forget your sorrows.

Liquor just ruins one's life.

Udhayan, do you want

to ruin your life?

By all means I am nowhere.

But liquor is not the solution

for all your problems.

Udhayan, I thought you

were a talented artist.

Creating something and that

too with the experience..

...of one's own life, makes

him different from others.

It is through the pain

of confronting..

...and resolving problems

that we learn.

It's not my invention. Some

thinkers have said this.

You are not the

one to be ruined.

I have faith in you.

You should do films. I'll

do the financing.

You can give the roles

to anyone you like.

Baby Kuttan, are you

telling the truth?

Do you have any doubts?

We'll make good films.

Udhayan, you'll become

a famous director.

But I won't put any conditions.

I must understand that

cinema is business too.

I remember you said there are

no permanent enemies in cinema.

That's great.

This September?

You want the call sheet of Mr.

Saroj Kumar this September!

Mr. Baby Kuttan, you are

living in which world?

For next seven years super

star Saroj Kumar..

...don't have a single date.

Even small kids know that.

It's just you who

don't know that.

And in between, I'll be

producing six films.

Everyone is making money

out of Saroj Kumar.

Not only that I'll not give date to

outsiders after sever years.

Saroj-Pachallan Combined

Productions will produce..

...and distribute the

films and make money.

I'd like to talk to Mr.

Saroj directly.

Directly with Mr. Saroj?

That's of no use.

Here everything is

under my control.

Look after it carefully it will

be another 4 days before I come.

OK Mr. Baby Kuttan.

I am going to airport in a

Benz car. Then good-bye.

Move, move. Security! Security!

Don't crowd, don't

get crowd, please.

Baby Kuttan is there.

Don't notice him.

Hello Sir.

- Key please.

Thanks.

Hello.. Saroj..

This lift is meant

only for Mr. Saroj.

The thing is..

- There is nothing.

We'll have something to eat from the

restaurant and then go to the room.

Why did Baby Kuttan come?

For dates and not

to see the hotel.

Oh! The restaurant is not

here it's on that side.

The other day I talked

to Baby Kuttan.

I said that there is no

date for seven years.

Who is the director?

- Whoever it is?

We should not give date

to outside producers.

Saroj-Pachallan's

Combines is enough.

They will not last long.

Lot of things were written about the

last film Mundanikadavattu.

The producer will be ruined.

So it's better to make money

as soon as possible.

And for that we should

produce the films.

Satellite and overseas

everything will be with us.

You look old though

you have makeup on.

There are some wrinkles too.

How long can you take

the lead role then?

It's better to start

some side business.

What side business?

Something like spices

and pickles.

Good evening Sir.

- Good evening, evening.

What is there to eat?

What do you like to have?

- What?

I asked what you would

like to eat.

Six 'Parottas' and fried mutton

for the two peoples!

Anything else, sir?

- He doesn't eat that?

I meant to ask if you want

anything else. - No.

Bring this first.

- Thank you sir.

I had not learnt enough English

in my younger days.

Greetings! May I sit here?

- Date..

Don't worry. I have not

come to talk about dates.

We have met and spoken to

each other many times.

But I had not been able to

open my heart to you then.

I am a great fan of Saroj's.

When my father was working

for Air lndia..

...at Bombay, Amir Khan and I studied

sitting at the same bench.

He has told me many times to..

...make a Hindi film with him.

I am not Amir Khan's fan.

Because I am an art lover.

What art?

- I see that art in you, Saroj.

OK that art.

Sir. Sir, you are not allowed

to smoke in here. - OK.

Pachalam, call the owner

of this hotel and..

...ask him to dismiss

him right now. - OK.

There were many talented

actors in Malayalam.

But to sing, dance, do action

scenes, express.

...well all by one person! In short

Saroj is a super market for acting.

If he went through the door

of a shop all the..

...stuff in there would

have to walk out.

But as an admirer there is

one thing I feel bad about.

I can't get the owner on line.

Is it? Then we can dismiss

him after a while.

And what is it?

You haven't got a single

national award.

Nor has he got a state award!

We must remove that deficiency.

Award is not what you can get

by just acting in any movie.

It needs to have a good story.

- Correct!

We have already made the story.

Aren't you interested in awards?

Of course he is.

He lost 10-25 lakhs last

year after the state award.

The jury Chairman was a man

who didn't know Saroj Sir's rate.

He should not be called

the jury chairman.

Pachalam!

Who are the 'we' who

has made the story?

It is me along with

a friend of mine.

Who is that?

- You know each other.

There is no point keeping

the past in your mind.

He has forgotten about it.

I am talking about Udhaya.

I suspected it. In front of

my eyes he hit Rajappan..

Pachalam! - He thrashed Saroj

Sir like one hits a dog!

Mr. Baby Kuttan, he went

around the country side..

...telling everyone that

I stole his story.

It was a story we both had

discussed and conceived.

How can it be his story alone?

Let bygones be bygones.

No! Bygones will not be bygones!

If you mention his

name here again..

'I say you get out.'

is what Sir will say!

Actually when I think about

it there is a point to it.

It is sure that his story with

his direction will be a hit!

If you don't give him

a date he would..

...make the movie with

someone else.

And that hero will

also become a star!

Isn't that a loss to us?

And then all producers

will go after him.

Wouldn't it be better if

you gave him a date..

...Instead of creating

such a situation?

Not only is it better it is the

best way to get rid of him.

He took away the Madhumati

I used to dream about.

Don't delay! Go and call Baby

Kuttan where ever he is.

You are five minutes late.

Saroj Sir has gone to

the swimming pool.

Isn't he the director?

- Yes.

Why have you brought him here?

Do you want to ruin

Saroj Sir's mood?

I have talked Saroj Sir into to

this with great difficulty.

Why should he go out

of mood on seeing me?

I have not betrayed him in any

way for him to feel like that.

What did you say?

How dare you refer to the

super star Saroj Kumar without respect?

Aren't they friends who lived

together sharing a room?

That was then.

Then many things could

have happened.

Super star Rajnikant used

to be a bus conductor then.

That doesn't mean that the

conductors who worked..

...with him then can come up to him

and speak to him informally!!

How will he act in a movie
