"An artiste is always unsure whether he will be applauded again" "So..." "I have that insecurity too" "Cam - 3 cover the audience" "See...your longing is satisfied" "Let's rewind a bit when Manoranjan is 24 yrs old" "You've made 5 classic films all with Mr. Margadarisi" "But your 6th film...mega budget made you a huge star" "Produced by your now father-in-law That was also when you got married" "Tell me honestly, was that young Mano entranced by cinema or Miss Varalakshmi?"

" Does my daughter...sorry your daughter" " They're both the same sir" "Does she know this?" "She does..." "But we told her a bit late After her degree" "Time flies by, right Mano?" "Would you like to see Mano's photo?" "When she was in school" "That's during her degree" "Is this something a sane person would do?" "Don't forget your next film is 'Adi Sankara'" "The press will have a field day" "One photo of you as a saint and the next one of you as a 'Married Bachelor'" "Manoranjan's Love Tales" "The film will stop halfway and then the producer will come to me" "Where are you walking off to?" " Return the advance of that film" " Which?" "Why?" "I don't have the time to do it" "Say's who?" "I've given them a block of 90 days" " I have some other work at that time" " All 90 days?" "What work is that?" " Another film" " With whom?" "My guru, Mr. Margadarisi" "Which fellow is producing it?" "I am" "Ok" "Have you told your father-in-law?" "And then?" "Do you work for me?" "Or for him?" " That's not what I asked" " Answer my question" "I work for you" "Then get an appointment with Mr. Margadarisi asap" "But at his convenience Can you or can't you?" "Of course...but if you asked our lawyer" "I just asked that's all" "Here he is..."

"So stop shouting!" "Do I look like a fool?" "Why ask us that?" "Don't you have a mirror at home?" "Aishu darling!" "So funny!" "Move your hand before it gets crushed" "Lakshmana, are they doing a film together after 14 years?" "Why?" "I've already made so many with you" "Reached you to the absolute peak" "That's true sir but I want one film now" "And whatever you want you must get...at any price" "But all your money can't buy this Margadarisi" "Don't say that, sir just one film... so people don't forget us don't forget me sir" "Nobody will forget you, my boy!" "You have your father-in-law to remind them" "Sir, I'm no king!" "I'm an actor You made me one" "I don't know how to make films for big stars" "I must have a story" "And a story is not a platform ticket available at your whim and fancy" "I must find it convincing" "I don't have one like that Do you?" "No sir" "So simple!" "It's impossible Please go" " Sir, Dr. Arpana is here" " Who?" "I asked her to join us, sir with your permission, may I...?" "No need!" "Did I ask for it?" "Ok sir take it back...go down" " Shall I return when you're done?"

"We have to find the story now" "I don't understand!" "I can't explain the technicalities of it" "That's why I've brought the doctor along" "Don't fool around like this!" "Is this true?" "You gave me a great time in the industry" "But now the time is running out" "I want my last film to be with you sir" "Sir sir...please don't refuse sir" "I'm not refusing!" "What is this?" "Doctor is this true?" "What abomination is this?" "I'm 83" "He's just a boy How is this possible?" "What Dr...what is this?" "Oh Lord!" "It's manageable if it was in the frontal lobe" "It's at the back" "Can't you operate?" "We could..." "But..." "In his case..." "He has some complications" " She's asking for the bathroom" " Over there" "Sit down" " Sir, I'll sit there" " No, sit down here" "Sorry sir" "I'm a bit..." "I'm usually stronger than this" "Me too, my dear" "But in Mano's case I love this rascal" "Me too, sir" "Who doesn't love this boy?" "Everybody loves him, everybody" "Okay" "I'll make your film as you like, happy?" "How much time will you give me?" "Don't have much of it to give, sir" "My God!" "My God!"

"You ask me for everything food, drink, bath water, your scotch" "Didn't you think to ask me about this?" "Why should I?" "Why should you..." "Not needed, Mr. Manoranjan" "I'm not needed here anymore" "Now you have the great Mr. Margadarisi to advice you" "It's best that I fade out" "Leaving me alone, Daddy?" "Nobody has to leave anybody and go!" "Family, my foot!" "Family doesn't learn of your decisions on the TV" "That's your audience..." "Not me" "Daddy, admit me in the hospital or take me home" "I want to come too, Ma" "What, is this a joke?" "Selfish to the core" "Just like your father" "Look at him sitting there Don't you have anything to say?" "There's plenty" "But if you react like this to a small thing" "Calm down I'll tell you later" "Oh!" "So you have bigger secrets?" "Come daddy, let's go home" "Don't sit like a statue say something" "I will when your BP comes down" "That will come down when there's good news" "Okay, I won't tell you" "Daddy, I'm going to pack, let's go" "Atleast say bye" "See?"
