Movies

When am I going to direct a movie? Ha ha....it is some kind of a dream in a perfect world. Yeah, in a perfect world, why shouldn't I direct a movie? I'll by all means. Maniratnam's assistant Priya V is debuting with "Kanda Naal Mudhal". What an amazing experience that must have been. I've read a few reviews and they are all raving about the movie. Some of them mentioned that the movie sags a little bit in the climax. I'm extremely curious to find out what she has offered in the movie! I can't wait. I'm not worried or curious about anything in particular about the movie itself...all I care about is the direction, since she seems to have interened under Maniratnam. PC Sreeram is the cameraman. Of course he is the man for camera! His work speaks for itself. Most Mani's movies were cinematographed by PC. He is one creative genius. He plays with light. Light talks to him and tells him how it wants to be captured. He just obeys :)

So this guy Kartik is one of the heroes of this movie. He seems to have gotten married to the Mirchi Compere or somebody recently. He also happens to be a friend of a friend. He seems to be slowly going places in the tamil movie industry. Looks like he also worked under Maniratnam. I am pretty sure there is a long line to work under him, considering that he does only one movie in two years or so. Sometime back, there were rumours that he is going to direct another movie with Rajni. That'll be too much for people to take. May be he backed off from that plan.

Looks like "Sivaji" a movie starring Rajni and directed by Shankar has been launched in a simple and quiet ceremony. Should be amazing to watch, I'm pretty sure. Sivaji also happens to be Rajni's original name :) So the name has been chosen thoughtfully.

Too much seems to be happening in the movie industry. Or may be I am just noticing it now. Seems like a very exciting field to be in. Something happening all the time. They also say that you won't have good friends in the movie industry. May be that is true, considering that there are quite a lot of complaints on the dishonesty and hippocrisy of the movie people. Anyways, who cares about all this. It is all for personal satisfaction anyway.

May be I should start by writing a script. One script won't be enough to convince some producer. I should be ready with multiple scripts :) Chumma indha madri ezhuthavendidhaan. Yaar yaar ithai paarthu sirichundu irukkangalo!
