Story discussion with Shankar is the most happiest
thing in life. We would go to the Alangriha, a resort
which is near Ooty, Kumaragam and Hyderabad. We will
stay there and have the story discussion for some
ten to fifteen days. At that time we were poised towards
the story, story and story alone. We eat, drink and
even brush upon the story itself. We will discuss
upon it for day and nights and finally leave the station
only when we are satisfied and the story is readily
uploaded into our laptops.
After that we will leave each other for some time.
I will prepare a draft for the story and send it to
Shankar. He will see through it, make corrections
if any and return it to me. I will recorrect any other
missing parts or changable parts in the story. Another
important thing is, the changes in the story will
also be done only with each other's permission.
There was a contorversy when "Boys" was
released. Some well wisher of me told me that the
dialouges in the film are not mine, and asked me to
stay clear of the controversy by making a statement
that the dialouges are written by Shankar. But, I
don't want to do that, because each and every lines
of dialouges in that film are done under my supervision.
"Boys" is really a good story, but for some
reasons it did not suit many viewers.
The funniest thing is that if a film is a success,
everybody who are the part of the film, including
the light boys react in such a way that he is the
owner of the story. But in the same case, if the story
was a flop, every body puts the blame upon the director.
