Making of the movie"Hiding Behind a Stranger" ...
What a cute montage[The success of the Historical Serial "Hiding Behind a Stranger", or in short, HBAS, has tempted many production houses to make a movie on the subject in three languages, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu...(Omg tri-lingual!!!☺️😆)After a keen competition, The TDE Films International, has become successful to get the opportunity to convert the two dimensional story into a three dimensional one..One fine Friday evening, the Screenplay and dialogues writer,Lashy, the popular Director Lana, Lyricist Sandhya, Choreographer Kausi, Editor Manasi, Cinematographer Selvi and Music Composer Lavanya.. ..all meet at the a posh five star hotel , The HBAS Plaza..]Lashy makes sure she's come to the right lobby of the five-star plaza... here? there? oh yes here...KK: On behalf of the TDEFI, I welcome you all..We are now going to discuss the major items like the treatment of the story, production costs, casting of the actors etc ..Lana, will you please share your views with the rest...Lashy: ( Hesitantly) Ma'am...I just want to say that it is a very lengthy novel, almost 50 chapters written and twenty more to come in the next few months..Ermmm Lana Ma'am there might be a bit of a mistake in the errrm calculation... ermm not 20 more... ermmKK: Don't worry Lashy.. Lana will take care of everything..Lashy: But... How will we condense it to a movie of 3 hours..?🤔 I know, right?Lana: That is my job, Lashy.. We can take the movie in two parts.. HBAS 1 and HBAS 2.. It is the new trend..Both the movies will become hits..Like Bond's BB! 🤣 And I said it before I read the next line..KK: Yes Lashy.. What the director says is correct..Bahubali 2 raised the expectation of the audiences and it became a huge success..Lana: Yes.. We can stop the story at a crucial point and pose a question to the audience.. Like they did in Bahubali.."Why did Kattappa kill Amarendra Bahubali..?"Lashy: But where will we stop the story in Part 1?>>>Poor Lashy 🤣KK: That we will decide as and when we proceed..>>😲Lana: I suggest we should include a few songs in appropriate situations..>>*Gulp*Songs!
KK: It goes without saying Lana.. But we should decide broadly where the song sequences should be inserted..Sandhya: I have already written a title song , which will be very apt to the Story's main theme.. By the way, are we going to retain the title of the novel as Hiding behind a stranger?..KK: A good question.. But the title has 21 letters.. Our family astrologer Bindu selected today for our meeting since the number 23 is very lucky for us..Lana: Then we'll make it "Hiding Behind The stranger" by adding 2 more letters..Lashy: But..but.. he will be a stranger only if you write "A" stranger.. If it is "The" stranger, he will no longer be a stranger!Sandhya: Then we'll change the title..>>>My story...
KK: We will have it as "The Farmaan"..It will be 10 letters..Ten is also lucky for me.Lana: But madam, 10 is not a lucky number for me..We can cut a letter in the title and make it 9.. All the movies I directed with titles of nine letters were hits..Lashy:.. 😲>>>Paavam Lashy 🤣But truly... this is how creative writer/author must be feeling when he/she hands the script to the movie industry! 😕KK: Okay then.. It will be "The Farman".. Decided...Sandhya: Yes.. It is fine.. because the lyrics I wrote for the title is about the Farmaan only..>>Hayoo🤣Lana: So. the title would be "The Farman" - Hiding behind a Stranger..KK: Fine ..It is like "Bahubali- The Beginning" and "Bahubali- The Conclusion.."Lashy: But the title looks like the Farmaan is hiding behind a stranger!!??..😲>>> OMG I am supposed to be crying, but I laughed out loud!KK: Author Sahiba.. all these are minor matters..Don't worry..Lana: And.. Lavanya, . you and Sandhya decide about the number of duets, dream sequences, etc..>>> 😆Kausi: Director Sahiba.. All the three of us will sit together and decide about these and come to a consensus . After that we'll have a final discussion..Sandhya: Yes Kausi.. we will meet separately and decide about this..Kausi: Sandy.. better we have the director to be present when we discuss..Lashy: 😆Lana: As for the costs, madam...KK: Don't worry about the costs.. Lana .. Sky is the limit..Lana: Then let us find a PRO, who would take care of publicity..Selvi: We can have Rosejaan as our PRO..>>>Hayooo Ramachandra..Lana: And Manasi seems to have a rapport with the media people..KK: Then.. Rose and Manasi will look after the publicity aspect..Lashy: Director madam.. you didn't tell me where you'll stop the story in Part 1..😕>>>Hayooo Ramachandraaa.. 🤣
