Well, this storyteller story now has an unexpected ending.
I told that story because I was in a mood to tell a story and this time for a change hired an assistant to write whatever I blah blahed.
So this assistant jotted down whatever I told him to.
In about a week or so, we actually ended up with a story.
(I should also appreciate my wife for showing me that French movie which inspired me to tell the story).
I got this crazy idea and actually registered myself as an official storyteller. (There actually is an association for people like me). I got my story registered later.
In a freak development I came across another freak who showed interest in developing movie song tracks for my story. So we sat together and developed couple of songs. (All this during my office time).
I got another idea. If I were to make a movie out of this story where would I shoot? I asked couple of my friends and employees to go to those locations and take some pictures. They came back with 700 pictures.
Then I assembled this stuff using Flash and with a V.O narration of the story.
Somehow word got leaked and a big (I MEAN BIG) production called me. I went there and told my story. (I was just thrilled to meet them. I was not even thinking about them liking the story).
They liked it.
They called me again. I told the story. They liked it.
They called me again. (Give a span of three weeks). I told the story. They liked it.
So, here I am directing that movie. Shoot may start in about a month or so. If it does I will keep posting here, well, if it doesnt, I will delete this post. :-) Ha, ha, thats a joke.
But the movie thing is not.
So much for telling a story.

Nope. I swear it on the casting and the technicians I have finalized so far. :-)
even after all these years of reading your jokes I can still not tell when you are joking and when you arent!
well congrats! (I can always say I was joking :P)
and what happened to the blog template!
BTW I've made an attempt to get back to my personal style of blogging.. check it out sometime :)
Faily, Checked your blog... Looks like you have bitten forbidden twitter fruit :-)
Long time.. how you been?
smiley,
what is the story about? a regular telungu movie or is it any different?
make something that stands out. That has a good honest tone to it. Get a team that has real talent. Technical expertise and story depth.it should have the local flavour(remember "malgudi days" )and have a comtemporary theme. please dont churn out the usual fare.
Its a rough road ahead. and by the way smiley dont get too carried away. stay grounded.

Yeah, will try to not get carried away.
Will definitely let you know when the film releases in Bangalore :-)
I used to follow your blog when I myself was a blogger about 5 years back and have tried to keep myself up-to-date through the years. Your film is an absolute surprise! I landed couple of days back from the US in Hyd and saw your trailer. I can't wait to watch the movie!
Congrats and all the very best! :)
