the body is worship"

"Do reuniting lovers

need to converse?"

"Would words ever come

in the way of expressing amour?"

"Like the rhythm that sets the timing

for music come mingle with me"

"Come reach me to

the very peak of ecstasy"

"...and whisper endearments

in my ear"

"At the alter of

God called love"

"In the temple

called eyes"

"The thirst of

the body is worship"

Immortal One, I make you

Minister as reward for this miracle

Why a third Minister

when you already have 2?

Not 3! 2 as always

1 Minister...will go

- Oh no! Who will go?

- We'll decide with a roll of the dice

Fear not! I'll sacrifice

my post for our friendship

- You're a true friend...promise?

- On your life!

Your Highness...Highness

Here! Here!

- Your Highness!

- What

Don't worry! Kaakapusundar

is ready to relinquish his post

I and Uttama will be

your confidantes

Is this the time to

discuss it? Get out

- Me too?

- Then what? Out!

Now its me and

my Karpagam

I can't wait any longer, Karpu

Did you say something?

It says I can't

wait any longer

I'll just be back!

- Shall I go too?

- I have to go!

What happened?

Your Highness, could ride the palanquin

...without anxiety or spillage

That's right

No! Not to the entrance

Go to the toilets

Hurry up!

Stop! Why do you blow

every time I point?

Yes! The King is in a rush

and you keep sputtering...

Uttama...you too?

- Why have you stopped?

- It was your command

Your King needs to go

Move!

- No jolting! No jiggling!

- No jolting! No jiggling!

Uttama!

I'm exhausted running

between toilet and bath

And my dream girl

Karpagam, awaits me

My love is all back-to-front

Oh God! I'm dying

You have tested me enough

Uttama!

Come

Impart to me

the secret of immortality

- Ah! She keeps jolting me...

- Your Highness

- This spell you ask for...

- Physician, stop it! Stop!

...is not a mystery but must be

understood with wisdom

You seek to teach a fish to swim?

I am the wisest! Proceed

It's very simple

There are three methods

One-is to be

the wisest among the wise

A sage who comprehends the three

dimensions of time and motion

Oh! I loosely understood

the theory of time and motion

I've just calmed down

Tell me a shortcut

You must compose

an immortal epic

- My handwriting isn't very good

- It could be oral!

Aren't my troubles

enough already?

That's why he

refuses 1 and 2

Shut up!

Highness...what is

the third option?

- There is a third...there is

- What is it? What?

Another way is to be a great

and unforgettable artiste

Understood! You've saved

the best idea for last

Nowadays it's the easiest

thing to become an actor

Suggest a good drama as soon

as my stomach settles down

Your Highness! Drama

is below our dignity

Why, haven't the great

emperors been playwrights?

Well said! Our King's touch

makes anything respectable

No no. Ignore him

Keep scratching

I've a good idea

for a play

- What about 'Ballad of Hiranyan'?

- Let's do it!

I know only of

'Ballad of Prahalada'

This is his father's tale

Oh no! But doesn't he

oppose Lord Narayana?

For heaven's sake! Only he who dares

to oppose all, can become immortal

- Fear is the (root) of death

- I've neither (roots) nor (shoots)

To prove I am fearless

we stage 'Ballad of Hiranyan'!

As your Highness said

your pulse is racing

Oh God! And I thought

it was easy to be an actor

Forget that, there are

5 demons, my King

Not four?

That's the scriptures

Demons are 5!

Tell them to reduce a bit

Scriptures or Demons?

The dialog! It's endless

Shouldn't we talk less and say more?

Which part has less dialog? Which?

This one...Prahalad

That's true but he's a young boy

It wouldn't suit your Highness

- There he is!

- Your Highness!

- What?

- What about Narasimhan?

The dialog isn't

too much, right?

None at all

Just roars

A little stronger than that

- Your lion's roar

- This costume is a nuisance as well

Minister, the poison

will work, won't it?

Narasimhan's nails are

soaked in poison and well dried

It will kill us

if the poison touches us

Hence the drummer's

finger-shields I ordered for you

So that you may

be successful

Karpagavalli is my shield

I'll rip him apart

So that you steal the applause?

Impossible! Dasarath...uh

Hiraniyan has all the dialog

- And that is the problem

- All the glory falls on Narasimhan

But Narasimhan is

half god and half animal

Hiraniyan is all king

Who is greater?

Narasimhan! It is the union of half god-

half animal that will last in people's hearts

Correct! We will exchange roles

You are Hiraniyan and I, Narasimhan

But...your audience is waiting

It is I they are awaiting

Announce to them that

their King is changing his makeup

Cut it

Come

Super, my boy!

Brilliant!

Fantastic!

Now lunch and

then dress change

Return in the Hiraniyan costume

The climax and song are almost done

We just have to

complete the lead

We'll finish it

Once that's done

the film is complete

We'll do that today, sir

- Are you tired?

- Everything alright?

I know you,

but ok, hurry back

- The scene is good, isn't it?

- Wonderful! But how are you?

Really?

- Really

- Really

- Was it good?

- Whatever you do is good

Amazing

From whom?

Well, it isn't exactly for you

It's a letter I wrote your mother

It never reached her

I want you to read it

Take the children to the room

I'll bring our lunch there

You sure?

Yamini

I know the news we

await is tidings of great joy

Fortune has smiled

twice on this poor man

One was, the first time

I saw you

The other, when people

acknowledged my stardom

Mr. Poornachanra Rao

threatens me

Varalakshmi too

She is steadfast in her delusion

that her infatuation for me

will turn into

my love for her

When I told her

it's impossible

she slit her wrists

and is lying in the hospital

I told him I couldn't marry his

daughter because I love you

Do you know

what he said?

That he can wash

away love with money

In my anger, I lied to

him that you're pregnant

The man was stunned

And then suggested

that abortion is a solution

This lie I told about your

pregnancy...we must make it true

And if that happens

As we've decided

Manohar

if it's a boy

and Manonmani

if it's a girl

Who knows, it

could even be twins

I am ready to leave

everything behind for you

Will you wait for me?

That...

That's my photo

- Did dad give it to you?

- Yes

What is this?

A collage of everyone I know

The surgery might

wipe out my memory

So it's like reminder

notes to myself

In-laws, my teacher

Shall I call your dad...

I mean Mr. Zachariah?

I thought Manohar

would be alone

Don't jump to conclusions

And what?

She's your sister?

She is my sister

Dad, please tell her!

But this is my sister!

And after I've cut off

my hair for you...

- His own sister?

- Yes. From another mother

See for yourself

I didn't mean you

Please come in and

tell her, sir please sir

The seed of my blood

The flesh of my flesh

How'll I bear him
