Making of "I". Conversation of Shankar and Assistant Director.
AD : Shankar saar check out Sean Foot's profile, he is a great makeup artist, he has done Lord of the ring series, we should use his services in some movie
Shankar : Interesting. Let's plan something
AD : I have shortlisted some of the getups which he can do for us
Shankar : These 4-5 let's keep for the hero and these 4 we keep for the villains
AD : Are we going to give 4 getups to villain
Shankar : NO we will have 4 villain
AD : Saar what will be the story
Shankar : we will work it out at a later stage, let's concentrate on the getups, Sean is costing us very heavily, so we need to make best of him
AD : Saar, Music?
Shankar : Talk to ARR, Just pick up some songs from his bank, if we pick song from his bank, we will get good discount, any ways we need not ask him to create custom songs for us, his songs will be any ways hit, we just need his name
AD : What if we can talk to ARR just to lend his name only and we use some local musician from Chennai, it might cost us even lesser.
Shankar : Not a bad idea, let's do that in our next project.
AD : Saar Actors?
Shankar : Let's make this an international appealing project. Vikram as hero, Heroine take some firang, for villains pick from Hindi and Malayalam movies, check out who is popular nowadays in comedy?
AD : Saar Santanam is quite popular saar, also saar powerstar also got quite fan following on social media
Shankar : OK take both of them.
AD : Saar script? they will ask na, before signing.
Shankar : Just tell them my name, no one will ask.
Shankar : So what are the getups we shortlisted for the hero?
AD : Saar body builder, super model, sick patient with lots of boils on his body with a hump and Narsimha look.
Shankar : Let's begin the movie with the Sick patient look, this should be the USP of our movie and let's start on a negative note
AD : How about a kidnapping of the heroine from her marriage and than we will go on flash back.
Shankar : Great idea, you will surely make your name in this industry.
Shankar : Start the flash back with the body builder get up and show him from a lower middle class with no sense of style and make sure that his body display is done elaborately, whatever it takes, use Fx liberally.
AD : And he fantasies about the stylish Super model our heroine.
Shankar : Super model is a good idea, we can show her doing loads of ads and we can get sponsors for in film ads.
Shankar : Good and show her stylist as super sexy gay, that's what everyone show na, fashion stylist as gay, right? let's not take risk by showing a stylist as normal person.
AD : Good Idea saar, this is the first time in Tamil movie we will see a super sexy gay.
Shankar : Show heroine's colleague as chauvinist, that's how we can bring the hero into her life.
AD : Ok Saar than we can send them on an Ad shoot to foreign, how about Malaysia?
Shankar : Ad shoot idea is good, Malaysia is no no we have seen Malaysia so many times in Tamil movies, let's look out for new location, how about China?
AD : Good saar, we can have some Chinese fights also incorporated in.
AD : At this point we can have hero's third look as very stylish
Shankar : Good, but before we get into this point, make sure we have some random comedy shots of Santanam and Powerstar and some random songs are slide in.
AD : Saar we have one more look of Narsimha shortlisted, where do we use this?
Shankar : Create a dream song and use it over there.
AD : Saar we have used almost 2 hrs, we haven't shown anything yet, but love angle of hero heroine, is it a love story.
Shankar : Make sure till this point we have used all emotions of the hero, fantasy, love, action, ambition, comedy, agony, arrogance, innocence, idiot, style, sacrifice, respect to women and elders, social commitments, from here we show he is taking revenge.
AD : Revenge what revenge saar?
Shankar : Just create back stories of 4 villain and randomly slide it in, just keep one suspense we will revel it in end and we will have elaborate climax showing hero taking the revenge, during this process we will give the villains their getups and that's wrap up
Shankar : Yes ask PC to do the cinematography, he is the best who can capture all these.
AD : Wow! saar this is going to be one super hit, saar you are genius.
Note : This is a work of fiction, resemblance is co-incident.
