Myself and hubby dear are movie addicts. Whenever time permits we sneak in a movie here and there. I was always fasinated how people bring stories to life. Best example being the movie "Iqbal" and "Malgudi Days".... ever since then I have always had the urge to write a nice story and visualize it.
Suddenly the company annual day was announced and they invited me to be a part of the organization. The high profile management also wanted some culturals to be thrown in for the entertainment. I immediately jumped in and proposed for a skit.
But then what would be the theme of the script ? That was a million dollar question. After a brainstorming discussion, within myself ofcourse :-), I thought the best thing would be a spoof on the age old "masala movie".
After all that is what Farah Khan is doing in all her films till date. So if she can cash on it then we can as well give it a try.
I had a bound script in 2 days. But unfortunately I could not bring in together the casting that I wanted and I was loaded with work. So because of the above reasons "The project got shelved". Analogy could hold good to the movie making business as well as the IT industry. What the heck !
Voila ! I have started a blog. So here goes my script ppl. Bouquets and Brickbats are welcome.
Tension Nahi Lene Ka !
====================
Entertainment is the buzz word today. There are lots of companies competing with each other to entertain people.
There is no denying that “Films and movies” are the greatest source of entertainment to people all over the world. The actors are larger than life and people closely associate themselves to them.
The visual elements of cinema give motion pictures a universal power of communication; some movies have become popular worldwide attractions.
For us Cinema speaks our language and also reflects the socio-cultural progress in our lives.
As a tribute to the wonderful world of our Cinema we present this skit.
Well this in complete Hindi/Telugu ishtyle and it is cross lingual, where we speak Hindi, Telugu and English.
Presenting to you “Tension Nahi lene Ka”

cool stuff Lakshmi. let us know how this skit was received by the audience.
more blogs expected
Seems like a really nice idea...
I didn't know about this else might have helped you hunt for the cast. We should have been able to string together a bunch of wannabe stage artists.
Purni,
The play never happened. I was running short of time and there were not many people to pitch in for the roles.
Harish,
That's ok. There is always a next time.
Hey do u speak telugu ? i didn't know ... btw nice script :)
Raameshwar, I have picked up some broken Telugu man. "Be a Roman in Rome" .... :-)
