We should have our patience raised to the degree of infinity to watch a movie(a shot) filmed.
SCENE 1
VGP, the only funpark of those days was fuming with white mist and from that an outline appeared shaking the neck right and left.Hi! mike Mohan minus the mike!He had to do that difficult move(?!)stretch the right hand to north and left to the south and bend a little.While the assistant director was persevering to kindle the fumes like the musalman who puts dhoop,the man with the two inches compact powder on his face continued to do that.In evening,we returned from the beach and merry go round and all that , he was doing -"stretch this stretch that and bend."
SCENE2
After about ten years the same VGP welcomed me but this time with Arjun for "Thayam onnu".When I saw films like Mudhalvan and Gentleman I was wondering if this was the man I saw in VGP.He was very short and he could not resist keeping his fingers away from cigarette.In our short stay for about thirty minutes, he was puffing out like the Ooty train.The pollution control officer should have arrested him for intoxicating a poor kid, his co artiste.He finished off atleast ten cigarettes just like that.
SCENES 3,4,5
At kodai,Murali was peeping from behind a tree from morning till evening .At VGP again actress Suganya was twisting and turning around the pillars from morn till night while the telugu hero was practising the step from asst dance master.At lamb's rock coonoor ,Saif and Kajol were spreading their arms from morn till night and imagine how many of them would be redoing their actions now.
SCENE 6,7
Next to Maayajaaal!My memory failed me miserably in recognising a girl who passed behind a shifting shooting troupe.OMG! Was that Heera who stole the hearts of many Muralis.Surely one has to have strong IDHAYAM to accept that she looked like this while they had thought she looked like that.Kajol was also unrecognizable .But Suganya was very beautiful with the perfect nose that did not need a plastic surgery.While things went on like this ,I saw a girl come out from a toddy shop with her father near my house.She pointed out to a jikarthanda shop.This scene was filmed just like that and it hit the screens with a massive success Kadhal.
SCENE 8
Then came the most miserable day in my life.When Vijay had come for a shooting "Madura" we went to the spot to see him as my kid was an ardent fan.A kid was enacting the "indha yeriya andha yeriya" before him he remained as cold as a stone.I wonder if he ever had a kid.When many wished for his birthday ,he didnot respond to any of them.When I see his interviews in magazines with his wife I am glad that he doesnot behave like this to his wife.They said thalaivar was upset because many had tried to pinch him during his shooting.I do not know why we give this much of importance to actors and actresses?In the foreign shoots people don't even turn their heads to watch what was going on.When we saw him leave the hotel to go to the airport, people flocked around him and 'rasigars' had to safeguard this hero to take him to the airport.This superhero who could swim in tsunamis,rip the villains as God and let out as many punch dialogues as he could, was safely packed off to Chennai by his very beloved 'rasigars 'who believed that he was their saviour.
SCENE 9
There was a man who could not even smile but this man raised up my spirits about the tinsel world.Cheeyan came with bubbling energy to the hotel he resided after his hardwork in Bala's film.When the girls in the swimming pool were singing his song when he entered, he crossed his fingers and shouted O podu.Smiling at every person on the way, he robbed us with his humble behaviour.I even had a chance to talk with him(perhaps the only person I had talked to) .May be this came out of his struggle in the industry for many years.He had no director father who directed films like "once more" which we cannot see even once.Oh please! don't come to a conclusion that I am a fan of thala I'm a diehard fan of Vijay.
What I came to say is that if you love watching movies, never be curious to watch a film being filmed?
SCENE 10
I DON'T WANT ANYMORE SCENES TO BE SEEN .
PLZ SIMBU,JEEVA,ARYA,DHANUSH AND MANY OTHERS DON'T EVER COME BEFORE ME .
I LOVE WATCHING MOVIES .
