Mr. Jeevan.

Excuse me sir. He

is calling you.

Welcome.

Come in Jeevan.

Have a seat.

I was expecting you.

Damn! That was an awesome novel!

The emotions in your writing are

so real! You have proved yourself!

I was touched.

How old are you?

I am 28 years old sir.

So, a young writer?

Good. Good.

Him first.

Have some tea.

Your age doesn't reflect

your experience.

Such a wonderful creativity.

Your work lives up to your name,

i.e, Jeevan (Meaning: Life)!

- Congratulations.

- Thank you sir.

Congratulations Jeevan.

So, I hear that you are

the next award winner?

Remember, the publishing

rights are mine.

Sounds good?

13 bundles of your

novel are unsold.

Jeevan, your stories

are outdated.

Think of something better.

We need sales to rocket

like it used to.

What are you looking at?

Get lost!

Jeevan, do you get

what I am saying?

How do you expect the cliched family

sentiment novels to make business?

We are in the 'Operation

Nova' times...

Get me an excellent horror

story or an anti-hero story.

Or at least write

an erotic novel!

That is the current trend!

Sir, let me explain.

Try to understand what

I have to say Jeevan.

Enough of your explanation.

My time is quite valuable.

So if you want me to pay attention

then get me something valuable.

You may leave now.

Excuse me.

A coffee and a cigarette please.

NEWS ON TV:
A psycho killer

wreaks havoc in Dindugal.

NEWS ON TV:
Creates chaos

among the locals there.

NEWS ON TV:
Who is this mystery man?

Even after 3 months,

still poses a threat and challenge

to the police department?

NEWS ON TV:
Does this serial

killer have a threshold point?

When will the killing stop. More

on that after a small break.

Sir...

here you go.

So, what happened at the

publisher's office?

Tell me. What happened?

It seems that I am outdated.

All my novels are...

unsold, says the publisher.

But ok, no problem.

Nothing to worry.

I'll take care of it.

No Jeeva!

It is a problem.

It won't workout.

It's been a week past the deadline

of two years you requested for.

I can't be patient anymore.

Over that, there is too much

pressure from my family.

They want to know when we are

planning to have a child.

Don't you think I too want it?

We must start a proper

family life soon.

And for that, you must

be in a good job Jeeva.

Forget all this art,

writing and creativity...

and start looking for a job that

suits your qualification. Please!

We can't run a family with

my income alone Jeeva.

Start being responsible.

Stop blaming others and...

I suggest you better

find a suitable job.

Do you understand?

Jeeva, I am talking to you!

Jeeva.

Jeeva?

VOICE ON TV:
A snakes

eyes aren't very good...

VOICE ON TV:
but they can detect movement.

VOICE ON TV:
So if the

hatchling keeps its nerve...

VOICE ON TV:
it may

just avoid detection.

(Voice on TV continues.)

2 packs of cigarettes please.

So, everything is packed up.

Come on, cut me some slack.

Didn't you hear me? Can't

you see it's closing hours.

Will you pay the fine

if the cops turn up?

You guys! Now leave!

Damn it! They don't get a

better time to show up!

Brother....

can I borrow a cigarette?

I'll pay up.

Dear!

Come here.

Looking for cigarette?

Do you have?

Please don't smoke.

Smoking is injurious.

Smoke and you shall...

Got it?

I am only drinking.

You want drink?

No? Ok!

Head to the beach.

You will find an oldie

selling buttermilk there.

He will be having.

Go buy it from him.

45 - 90 ml.... Whoa!

I gave him a crystal

clear solution...

and not even a thank you!

Manners-less boy!

The buttermilk vendor?

Go further, youll find him.

Brother...

can I borrow a cigarette?

Whoa! I am not used to this.

Give me a cigarette.

This is same like how you

began with cigarettes.

You weren't used to it either.

Try it out and it'll be a bliss!

Come on bro!

Only if you smoke

it you'll know.

Psycho killer!

An anti-hero story...

This writing! Writing!

Get me something valuable.

Art...forget all these!

Leave now. Get me

an anti-hero story.

A job that suits

your qualification!

It seems that I am outdated.

Look for a job.

Look for a job.

Good morning.

You better leave!

I am furious with you!

Come on! What is my fault?

What is your fault?

Now that you are

up, here you go.

Have this coffee.

Fine. I'm sorry.

It was indeed my fault.

Don't you understand my

situation very well?

I expected at least

you to support me.

You too hurt my feelings.

Anyways...

I too shouldn't have

reacted like that.

If you are willing

to forgive me...

then here, have this world-

famous coffee that I've made.

I would have rather kept

arguing with you instead.

Well, I am not surprised.

Ok.

I've got something

important to tell.

So until I'm done talking just drink

your coffee and do not interrupt me.

You have waited 2 years...

so please extend it a bit and

allow me 2 more months' time.

Everything will be

back to normal.

I am hooked on to an

exciting thriller subject.

The only emotion that

is always in trend...

fear!

That's what my story

is all about.

I will meet the publisher today, explain

him the concept and get an approval.

If I don't succeed...

then as you said...

the 62nd day...

I'll be in a job of your liking.

Sounds good?

You sound very confident

after so long.

Anyway...

All the best.

Thank you.

The two months' extension that you asked

for starts right from this second.

Keep that in mind.

Definitely!

Yes Jeevan?

So, any breakthrough on

how to sell your novels?

Nope but I am here with an idea

to make your time valuable.

Didn't you ask for an

anti-hero subject?

I've portrayed a full-fledged

villain as a hero.

A story about an individual who envisions

murder as an art instead of crime.

I'm going to show how

he views this world.

The concept sounds fresh.

I suggest you get

started with it.

Thank you sir.

I'm planning on leaving to

Meghamalai tomorrow morning.

I'm going there to

finish my story.

Alone?

I'm taking Romeo and

Juliet with me.

Where are you going to stay?

At Kathir's guest house.

That's where I'll

have some privacy.

You take decisions

at your own will.

Fine!

Come back soon.

Or else I'll come over there.

One more condition.

Make sure you attend my calls.

Would that be all or do you

have anymore conditions?

Nothing more.

Leave. Take a hike!

So about this story of yours...

What's the title?

TITLE:
URU

( Shape of fear)

Jeevan sir?

Jeevan sir?

Yeah, that's me.

Greetings sir.

I am Jothi.

Kathir sir informed

me that you are here.

I've brought you food.

Please come in.

How long have you

been working here?

I've been working under

Kathir sir for 8 years now.

I work at his tea estate.

Whenever Kathir sir and his friends

visit, I arrange food for them.

So...

you must be well-versed

with this place.

Is there any quiet and

calm place nearby?

Sir, there are only two

houses in this whole place.

One, Kathir sir's house.
