It is three weeks since the National awards have been announced my phone is still ringing.. few still congratulating me… but it is mostly the near and dear ones calling to ask..
Are you getting any calls from producers?
What is your next film going to be? Again an award film or a commercial film..?
My answer is.. No… Things don’t work like that here in this (TOLLYWOOD) industry!!! Art film maker or an award film maker, you are still an untouchable till you give a commercial hit. And I am aware of the reality
I never ever expected that producers will call me if I get an award. So it is not surprising or disappointing that they have not called me after I got THE AWARD.
The Award will only help me approach them little more easily, than before. That is exactly how things are with me these days.
And the Second Question….
What is my next film…?
The answer is obvious, definitely a commercial film, this time I want the producer to get back his money (not that my earlier film “hope” didn’t fetch money, it will get more than that was spent, without a release). I have two scripts ready, one a thriller and another film based on music.
The film based on music is very close to my heart and I wish to dedicate this film to my gurus Mr.K.Vishwanth and Maestro Ilaiyaraja. I wish this film happens first.
Of the two scripts which one will come out first on screen only time will tell.
