RK telling Madhu how she looks on the big screen the jaddhu etc to convince her for other reasons to do the film and not for his self interest and she should not feel pressurised, she's refused, but what is happening now, she comes to know the new heroine is not good and she knows what's at stake, his been banned, his taken up the challenge to produce the film as all producers won't sign him for more work as an actor, she also knows his invested everything in this film, so a lot is at stake, obviously she feels that pressure he says she should not feel. We all know the heroine will come for a while then disappear when it's time for the mahurat, that's because Amar and Kuku sent her a package containing cash, for her to quit. So if nobody is there to help RK, how can't a wife feel the man she loves is going down the tubes she has to step up, ir-regardless of the fact RK said he doesn't want to pressurise her against her wishes to do the film for his self interest, because he knows Madhu loves him they are one after their full marriage, what her wishes are is RK's wishes that's the decision, so for me RK should have known this and the situation to Madhu should have put to her like this
RK - "Madhu that heroine won't work out this is how she is, she's behaving provocatively like Marilyn Munroe in every shot it's embarrassing for some reason she doesn't want to heed the advice i've given her and merul chopra has given her"
RK - "Madhu you know very well I've sunk everything I own in this picture"
RK - "You have told me this is our picture, our film, we are in this together, I didn't have a director and you stubbornly went to proposition a National Film Award winner to come to our aid"
RK - "I know you don't want to be an actress, but remember how you adapted at the village to that lifestyle, when we married the first time the 4 phere shaddi, how you adapted to be a wife of a superstar, when we broke up, you were again a simple girl at the chawl moving on with your middle class life working setting hair, until we got back together and once again you are queen of this household, why not be queen of the big screen, I know you can't see it, I can I'm an artist and I can see the magic the audience will see it too trust me"
RK - "Merul Chopra you trust him right, he thinks so too, and he has the perfect script to suit us, lets trust him and go forward with his vision"
RK - "I love you, Madhu, do this for me, do this for us, trust that whatever fears you may have of being shown in a bad light, are unwarranted, I will approve the picture before release, also Bittuji is here and he will handle the media/press after the film is released, you will handle the house like before, just be with me in this one picture only, as it's our first production, lets show this producers association that we won't be cowed by their threats".
That's how I would have liked it played out today, and for me that is the situation so why not RK tell her to her face how bad it is he has a lot riding on this venture, Madhu's his wife, he should share the fact the finance is riding on this, the Simi situation and tell her also about the ban and everything, because even though he has not spoken she has got to know and feels the pressure anyway, it would have worked out just as well to have spoken to her in that way, similar result, but here Madhu hears from him directly what's going on, and yes she will decide to help him, but why not humble himself in-front of his wife to tell her the whole truth and let her support him.
RK is not a bad guy, but the ego a little bit is still there, like he said to Pabbo I asked her once and she came to the studio instead of the puja, but he threatened her with closing the work there and coming home if she didn't come to the studio and he was calling her several times not only once, so be a little truthful about your needs and requests, that's how I think RK should have been.
