Uttama Villain Page #3

I am

Ok

Have you told your

father-in-law?

And then?

Do you work for me?

Or for him?

- That's not what I asked

- Answer my question

I work for you

Then get an appointment

with Mr. Margadarisi asap

But at his convenience

Can you or can't you?

Of course...but if you

asked our lawyer

I just asked

that's all

Here he is...

Get out of the way

Open the gate...he's here

Close the gate

I can't let you

in just like that

Why does a gathering of journalists

turn into a shouting match?

I being the PRO man,

knew just 20 minutes ago

You'll know as soon as the meeting is over

How can your Mano sir leave

without answering us?

Didn't I promise you

an interview afterwards?

So stop shouting!

Do I look like a fool?

Why ask us that? Don't you

have a mirror at home?

Aishu darling! So funny! Move

your hand before it gets crushed

Lakshmana, are they doing

a film together after 14 years?

Why? I've already made

so many with you

Reached you to

the absolute peak

That's true sir

but I want one film now

And whatever you want

you must get...at any price

But all your money can't

buy this Margadarisi

Don't say that, sir

just one film...

so people don't forget us

don't forget me sir

Nobody will forget you, my boy!

You have your father-in-law

to remind them

Sir, I'm no king! I'm an actor

You made me one

I don't know how to

make films for big stars

I must have a story

And a story is not a platform ticket

available at your whim and fancy

I must find it convincing

I don't have one like that

Do you?

No sir

So simple! It's impossible

Please go

- Sir, Dr. Arpana is here

- Who?

I asked her to join us, sir

with your permission, may I...?

No need!

Did I ask for it?

Ok sir

take it back...go down

- Shall I return when you're done?

- No...no

I'm done talking

Done

Please don't say that sir

Be kind sir...please

Kindness won't cut it here

You need a story big enough to fit

the halo around your head

We can catch

hold of that sir

Are you going fishing?

Ok go, catch one...let's see

Sir...give me 1 minute

to tell you my story please

1 minute?

An arrogant man like me

Who thinks tomorrow

is far in the future

His world is one day

shattered by two things

Suddenly he has no time to say

'I love you', 'Thank you', 'I'm sorry'

Doctors say he has

a brain tumor

What?

Cancer?

Get out of here

I thought you'd

say something new

Tamil cinema has

done it to death

That was my first film

You yourself have done several

Every story needs

a rhyme and reason

Sir this...this is the reason

What?

We have to find the story now

I don't understand!

I can't explain

the technicalities of it

That's why I've brought

the doctor along

Don't fool around like this!

Is this true?

You gave me a great time

in the industry

But now the time is running out

I want my last film

to be with you sir

Sir sir...please don't refuse sir

I'm not refusing!

What is this?

Doctor is this true?

What abomination is this?

I'm 83

He's just a boy

How is this possible?

What Dr...what is this?

Oh Lord!

It's manageable if it was

in the frontal lobe

It's at the back

Can't you operate?

We could...

But...

In his case...

He has some complications

- She's asking for the bathroom

- Over there

Come...come here

Sit down

- Sir, I'll sit there

- No, sit down here

Sorry sir

I'm a bit...I'm usually

stronger than this

Me too, my dear

But in Mano's case

I love this rascal

Me too, sir

Who doesn't love this boy?

Everybody loves him, everybody

Okay

I'll make your film

as you like, happy?

How much time

will you give me?

Don't have much

of it to give, sir

My God! My God!

I shouldn't have asked

Okay, tell me what kind of film

you want to make?

I'm ready

Okay, sir

No one else knows about this, sir

Alright

Let's keep this to ourselves

I want the audience

to exit the theatre laughing

Let's make a comedy film, sir

Go home laughing?

Laughing?

Okay, my boy

we'll make a comedy

Uttama Villain!

Who will finance it when both

the partners are fighting in court?

We've withdrawn the case with mutual

understanding and submitted in writing

Why didn't you write

this house over to him?

You ask me for everything

food, drink, bath water, your scotch

Didn't you think to

ask me about this?

Why should I?

Why should you...

Not needed,

Mr. Manoranjan

I'm not needed here anymore

Now you have the great

Mr. Margadarisi to advice you

It's best that I fade out

Leaving me alone, Daddy?

Nobody has to leave

anybody and go!

Family, my foot! Family doesn't learn

of your decisions on the TV

That's your audience...

Not me

Daddy, admit me in the hospital

or take me home

I want to come too, Ma

What, is this a joke?

Selfish to the core

Just like your father

Look at him sitting there

Don't you have anything to say?

There's plenty

But if you react like this

to a small thing

Calm down

I'll tell you later

Oh! So you have bigger secrets?

Come daddy, let's go home

Don't sit like a statue

say something

I will when your BP comes down

That will come down

when there's good news

Okay, I won't tell you

Daddy, I'm going to pack, let's go

Atleast say bye

See?

This is it

Hey Arumugam,

have you forgotten?

Who you are?

A good for nothing orphan

I picked you up off the streets

and married you to a goddess

Is this your gratitude?

Varalakshmi is my life

My world

If anything happens to her

you'll die by my hand

Oh! You'll murder me?

If necessary

This Poornachandra Rao

does not lie

Well, if your threat is real

A - it would be the biggest favor

you could ever do me

B - You'll go to jail and

I won't be there to see it

I'm leaving now

Wait! This house is mine, right?

Or does your daughter, Varalakshmi

Thank you

I will leave

- You will regret this

- I will not

- Let's see

- Let's see

Namaste

- Chokku

- Sir?

Namaste

Yes sir...yes sir...definitely sir

If we place the Akela here

Don't do it

he'll get worked up

Sir please, must I

wear this crown?

It's very heavy, sir

Yes sir, it is a bit heavy

As it is actors are big headed

Imagine them playing royalty

Anyway, listen to the story first

Okay, sir

Long long ago...

I mean...

Oh no!

Don't be afraid

this is what folklore is

Characters are in black and white

but we shoot in color

Hero's name is 'Uttaman'

the film is called 'Uttama Villain'

But 'Villain' is

an English word!

Won't you lose the Tamil Nadu

tax benefit because of an English title?

Oh wow! She seems

to be a smart girl

A very smart girl

Who said 'Villain'

isn't a Tamil word?

One who fights with

a 'Mallu' is a 'Mallan'

and one who fights

with a 'Villu' is a 'Villain'

Arjun is a 'Villain' & Sivan

is the greatest of them all

- Hey...hey...hey...cut cut cut

- The 'Kurinji' has a song that-

Uttaman is a street actor in

the kingdom of 'Muthuvala Nadu'

He's playing Arjuna in the scene where

he asks for the bow from Lord Siva

We're using a fusion of

Villupattu & Kerala's 'Theyyam'
