Katha Screenplay Darsakatvam: Appalaraju Page #4

He stays away from media and publicity.

You said Allu Aravind, Suresh Babu,

won't l at least hear his name?

Who are you? Just a junior artiste.

What's your range and his range!

You're one among a lakh,

he's one for a lakh!

lt was good fortune that l met

him on my first day itself.

l've given him my script.

lf he likes it...

Come...shattering!

What a story! What a tragedy!

What a sentiment! What a drama!

But, second half is little...

What's the problem with the

second half, sir?

He'll tell you.

- He is...

He's Pushpanand, our company's

creative head.

He's distant relative of

90's super hit film's producer.

What's the problem in the second half?

lf hero dies, people won't watch the film.

That's it!

Our story is a tragedy,

only when hero commits suicide

unable to cope up with life,

audience in the theatre would get moved,

suicide is the highlight of our film, sir.

People will not watch

the film if hero dies.

Who are you to decide that people

will not watch film if hero dies?

'Marocharithra' 'Devadas' 'Premabhishekam'

'Gitanjali' were hits because hero dies.

Hero doesn't die in 'Gitanjali'.

May be not but in the other

three films, hero dies.

ln films 'Dilwale Dulhania Lejayenge',

'Pokiri' and 'Okkadu'

hero doesn't die,

so they were much bigger hits.

A film's hit or flop doesn't

depend on hero's death,

it depends of the story.

Hero committing suicide, not good!

How about hero dying in an accident?

Accident? What's the connection

between our story and accident?

Hero must commit suicide

in that situation.

lf he dies in accident,

the story will reach graveyard

not to our audience.

How about hero leaving home?

Where? To Peddapuram?

Or Amalapuram?

lt's not our point whether hero goes

underground or up above or to forest,

if hero doesn't commit suicide...

lf you don't understand it,

accept it graciously,

if you don't like it,

say you don't like it.

But for God sake

don't play with my Nayaki.

l'll not change even a word

in my script Nayaki.

You make another film.

- Hey you...why are you so tensed?

Didn't l tell your story

is extraordinary?

You must narrate to many

if it's a film script,

people would come out

with their own opinion.

Final decision is yours, right?

You've told your opinion,

but there's a little problem.

Not in your script.

All my money is stuck in real estate.

Unless the boom returns

l can't sell those lands.

l don't have money now,

my last two films were flops,

utter flops!

To make a film now,

we've to find a financier,

there's big shot by the

name Mastanaiah.

l sent him your script too.

He fell in love with it.

He has a girl friend.

You meet her.

Why should l meet his girl friend?
