Hero (2012)

God, please keep me safe
Oh, God...
Have you understood?
- Basha...
-Yes...
You can start now
l'm really hungry
Can we eat something
and then start with it?
1st and foremost, you have to
show me all what l just performed
You can eat afterthat
The money that you earn
from teaching him...
...must be spent in the hospital
Don't increase your
blood pressure unnecessarily
From my experience
in all these years...
...1st time l'm seeing
a specimen of this sort
Big brother called
Yes, Ramabhadran
did call me as well
They liked our daughter
...and they want the wedding
to be conducted soon
Deepam
God, please keep me safe
Can l say something?
lf you can get a movie...
...something can be decided
about our daughter's wedding
None of the producers want me,
Dharmaraj, who is old now
A stunt master who was
once famous, is now destined...
...to beg in front of people
to get his daughter married
How can you decide
nobody wants you now?.
Have you approached
anyone with your needs?
You cannot blame
just anybody!
lt is not like that
They are all affluent today
Who knows how they will behave
when they see me today?
Why do you talk like this?
lt is not offending
to approach them
l heard Basha mention
Adityan is starting a movie soon
Why don't you go, meet him?
- lt will not work out
- lt will
Please go, meet Adityan
We are leaving right now
l will call you back later
Suresh, keep this inside
Yes, sir
Satyan sir, the script
You have been walking
with this, for ages now!
l have told you several times that
Adityan sir, will not do a movie...
...with someone else's script
Just 10 minutes, sir
Adityan sir has already
signed up for 6 projects
On top of that, there are
10 to 25 producers waiting too
You can go now and
come back after 15 years
Don't create a ruckus here
Sir, Adityan sir...
He is inside
busy with an interview
He will come out now
Right now, my craze
is with action cinema
That does not mean
l will not change tomorrow
l'm enjoying making
action movies now
There are lots of my friends,
smart directors out there...
...who can make romance
and family oriented movies
But, the hero in your
latest movie is Premanand
He has only been gifting
flop shows of late
His 1st movie was
the only one that did well
My friend, you should never
under estimate anyone
Asingle Friday can turn
a person's luck in cinema
...by a whole 180 degree circle
Amitabh Bachchan delivered
a hit after 13 flops
There are several
others like that too
That doesn't mean
they are bad!
There is a rumor that Premanand,
being the home minister's son
...is the only reason that
he is being made a hero again
lf that 's the case
l should be making
...the chief minister's son a hero
Premanand is a good friend of mine
lt is good friendship that has
made good Malayalam films too
lt's notjust Premanand
Gowri Menon...
She is a leading actress
in the south and was the heroine
...in my 1st movie as well
So, the same familiarity repeats again
lsn't that good!
Think good and good things
will come your way
- Shall l take leave now?.
-Yes, carry on
Satyan, what's happening there?
Please help me, sir
Satyan, leave him alone
Sir...my name is Krishnan
l've been trying to meet you
for the past 1 and half years now
l wanted to read out
this script to you
But, these people
would never allow me
...to even come close to you
l kept telling you that
you can't get close to him...
Krishnan, leave now and
come back in the evening
l cannot read
such a long script
Put it into a nutshell
l will consider it
if you can impress me
...with the story in 10 minutes
- See you again
- Okay, sir
-What have you done, sir?
- Let them also succeed
You are taking the curses of
so many young people out there
He must have boarded
the bus from home
...with so many dreams in store
You too had similar dreams
...when you boarded that red bus
from Thiruvananthapuram long ago
But, there is a problem
What problem, sir?
You are still sitting
in the back seat of that bus
...looking behind with
your mouth open like this
You have not got down
at any of the stops
So many have got down
at several stops and
...tasted success today
You have been an associate
directorfor 15 years now
You will never change
Try to change, Satya
lt is good to improve yourself
Sir, there are some people
waiting outside to meet you
Producer Devdas
Writer Valsan Kodapankunnu
And that old stunt master,
Pushparajan... no... Dharmarajan
Master, Dharmarajan?
- Hmmm...
- Go, call him in!
You have put me
in a very difficult spot now
Premanand is the hero
for this movie
Leave alone the fact that
he is the home minister's son
Both, he and l, lived like rowdies
in Maharashtra for 3 years
He was the hero
for my 1st movie as well
But, all his movies
afterthat have flopped
l could not deny him
when he came to me crying
l just agreed without
considering anything else
Master, you know how bad
an actor and fighter he is
There are 6 fight scenes
in this film
And he happens
to be my friend too
lt is of utmost necessity
to choose a good stunt master
Or else, it'll be a disaster!
The stunt master is none other than
your disciple and nephew, Udhay
How can l avoid someone
to whom l've committed
...by giving him an advance?
Please do not hesitate to ask me
for any monetary help you may need
That is not what l wanted
l wanted a job
Don't you worry, sir
Considerthat l have not
requested you about this at all
Let me get going for now
Hope you understand my situation...
l will not trouble you hereafter
Satya...
Yes...
Why have you called me, sir
Call up the Personal Assistant to
the Home Minister and tell him...
...that the producer wants
to meet him soon
Greetings, sir
Yes, l'll come in the morning
Since you've been out
of films for a long time...
... it was difficult to convince
Premanand and the producer
As l had mentioned yesterday
there are 6 stunt scenes
One is foryou
l am truly touched
You have helped an old man
l will make sure that
you never regret this
The only problem is that
all the stunts are risky
The producers have agreed
...if Udhay's assistants
can help you out
Premanand is a person who can't
jump even a small brick wall
So we must
use a dupe for him
Since the other stunts are by
Udhay, he will help me with this
He is more my disciple
than my nephew
lt is solved then
Master Dharmarajan!
- Hope you are fine, Muthu?
-Yes, am fine
l need to meet Udhay
He is there inside
He has got work today
Don't you worry, Mohan sir
You need the stunts done
in 4 days time
l will hand over
the phone to the master
lt is Mohan sir
l am just leaving right now
lt is not a good morning
l need to see off someone
and l will be there soon
- Tea...
- Thanks, dear
Uncle, do not feel bad
hearing what l have to say
Why do you want
to do this at this old age?
The producer had personally
requested me to handle this film
lt is very cheap of you to
interfere like this in between
...with the director's
recommendation
l thought you wanted
to collect money
...for your daughter's wedding
lf that is the case,
l can help you with...
l have not come
to beg you for money
l do have
financial difficulties
But, right now l have a job
to do after so many years
And l am here
requesting you to
...help me out
regarding that
l do not want anything else
Can't you help me out by
giving me 2 of your assistants?
Are you out of your head?
Don't let me bore you
by talking about my name
...and fame in the industry today
You should be sitting at home and
reading the Ramayana at this age
l cannot help you with some
foolishness that you thought of
l will not let go of
any of my assistants
But, l can help you
l need experienced people
in my team to help
...with pulling and
holding the ropes
lf you are interested,
l can get you daily wages
Do you want tojoin?
l am happy, my dear
So, full of happiness!
When your own teacher
has come to you...
...asking for help
after so many years
...you are offering him a job
with wages on a daily basis
No teacher can be
more happier than this
l am very happy
Hope God forgives you
Let me take leave, Muthu
l heard it all, master
He is really heartless
Otherwise, how can
he shoo away someone
...whom he should
be treating as God
l wish l could help you out
in some way
You know if l go against Udhay,
it will affect my bread and butter
lt is pointless...
that he and l have both learned
the same trade together
Muthu, ask the driver
to bring the car
Hmmm...
lt is okay
l can understand
Satyan, Manoharan, Kannan
Haven't you seen
all of them, Basha?
l have gone to all these places
All of master's disciples
gave me all the respect too
But, nobody was
willing to come with me
Father, do you remember an Antony
who left after a fight with Udhayan?
Yes, Basha,
He is really efficient
Efficient!
But, there is no point
in saying this now
Have you forgotten
all that happened then?
So, he will just come
the minute we go, call him
l've told you a 100 times
Udhayan was only being egoistic!
But, nobody listened to me!
Aman who came here
with lot of dreams in movies
...had to walk out
with a broken heart
lf you had not shooed him away,
listening to your nephew...
...he'd have be in a better
position than Udhayan today
Stop!
When l realised that the problems
between Udhayan and Antony...
would affect my bonding
with my sister...
...l was forced
to ask him to leave
He did understand it then
Even if he understood it then,
his fate was sealed anyways
Will anyone accept someone
dismissed by master Dharmarajan?
How can you go back to him
after doing all that then?
Where is he?
Five Star Colony, Gandhi Nagar
- What is it?
- Look overthere
Basheer!
Take off that stick
Hammerthe stick in
l will decide whetherto sell
or dig my place
You can decide
But, if you sell, it should only be
to someone from this colony
There are people here to buy it
even if it is at the price of gold
l do not intend to
sell it to anyone here
Don't be adamant, Basheer
You knowthis colony
has its own set of laws
This place will be registered
at the sub-registrar office
...at 11:00 A.M today
l will get the money
that has been fixed as well
No, Basheer, you will not
There has never been a case
when we have sold a piece of land
...from this colony to an outsider
We have all grown up,
playing here
This soil has lot of peace
and happiness in it
lf that is destroyed
by an outsider...
who comes into this
colony because of you...
Yes, if so...?
l will break his legs
Break it!
We will break it
We don't have to go
in search of an outsider
Hejust has to
shout out for him
You know that, don't you?
Let him come
The land that
you are measuring
...will be right here
with you under it too
Get lost!
ls everything ready
forthe registration?
Ask them to get lost
l know why they are
being so audacious!
l have brought better guys
from Kodungalloor
Stop there!
Stop l say!
Get hold of him
Don't let him go
Given the opportunity
you are even capable...
...of quoting a price for
your own mother in a market
But, you will never sell
even a pinch of sand
...from Five Star colony
to anyone outside it
l will chop off your hands
if you do
Take this as gospel
from Antony!!
Don't you know me?
The word l say and the father
who made me is same forAntony
Give one to Akkiri too
This was all unnecessary
lt could have been
settled verbally
l heard that Basheer has
broken his back bone
The other 3 with him
had their stools taken out
...with the help of tubes
Palla, why do you have
to talk about crap
...when making my tea?
They have been hit
on their back side
They will start to crap blood
in 2 days from now
...and that is when they
will realize their mistakes
Where does Antony live?
Who?
Tarzan's?
Why do you want to see Antony?
l have some work for him
What is your name?
Basha (language)
l did not ask
what language you speak
l asked your name
My name is Basha
You could have been
named as something else
Work?
ls it a stunt or a murder?
lf it is a murder
you had better escape
...because he will not
take up that kind of work
Where is he now?.
He was doing some
missionary work yesterday
He has gone to take care
of those shepherds now
He will be back soon
Has he become a Reverent now?.
He will not take up the confessions
of those who self-confess
But, those who have decided
to never confess at all...
... will be taken to
confession by force
Where is Antony's house?
Master, please take a seat
- Come, sit down!
- l will be here
You are a Malayalee too...
l was also into movies long ago
l was a driver
l met with an accident
and had to take rest for some time
My son did not allow me
to go and work after that
- l have seen you
- Seen me?
- Hmmm...
-Where?
At the sets of 'Kolilakkam'
'Kolilakkam'...
Did you work in that?
No, l had come there
to meet Jayan sir
We had gone to the hospital
in your car
So, it is you,
who killed my Jayan
You pushed him off the flight
and here you are sitting innocently!
Take her away!
Leave me!
Please sit down, master
l will kill him
She is my sister
She had dreamt of marrying Jayan,
ever since her childhood days
She was with me in Madras
as ajunior artiste for some time
But ever since Jayan passed away...
lt was Jayan's luck...
What is it?
l meant to say
we have not seen Antony
Mary, where is he?
- Did you call me?
-Yes, of course!
You mean to say that
every time your son goes out
...he asks my permission?
Oh...
Why do you want
to see him now?
This is his mother
This is master, Dharmarajan
Who is he?
You will not understand
if l explain
She never watches any movies
She will try to plant tapiocas
with the price of a movie ticket
No way!
Long ago, when we had to
watch movies sitting on benches
l have clapped a lot
...when Dharmarajan's
name appeared on screen
Oh, this is Antony's stunt master!
Yes, stunt master
Go, get tea for them
- Tea for both of them?
-Yes, that is his assistant
l was not aware!
- Daughter!
-Yes...
This is Annie, youngerto him
Carry on
Do you want tea?
Or...something else?
- No...
- l have a stock of it!
Master!
He has been waiting for so long
Why are you here, master?
Who are you actually?
Tarzan Antony
or Brother Antony?
These kids havejust
nicknamed me like that
Come in, Master
Mother, please get tea ready
You can sit now
l will also become
a master soon
So, you can sit
with confidence
No, master, l will
not come with you
l had lot of dreams
with movies long ago
But, you had requested me
to forget all that for someone else
And l had accepted it that way
lt is not that l find happiness in the
labor work that l'm doing right now
But, there is peace in my small
world without big dreams
That is all l want, Master
l do not have the right to
force you or advice you today
You knowthat
l had lots of disciples
l went and met all of them and
waited with tears and folded hands
Nobody had anything nice to say
or saw me with a glad heart
This is destiny!
lt is the same fate that has
brought me here today
Please consider this
as my repentance and forgive me
l do not have the mental strength
of the old stunt masterthat l was
Today, it is the plea of a father
who is trying to make ends meet
...to get his daughter married
Master...
l knew that you would
not come with me
But, l did not want to feel that
l missed out on asking you about this
l was expecting you to
shoo me away when you saw me
You have been kind enough
to not do that
Wish you all success, my dear
l will hand it overto him
lt's sister...
Yes, Sarojini, l met him
But, he is not willing to come
l can only request,
l cannot force!
The person who cried in front of me with
folded hands some time back,
was the person who, once upon a time,
was equal to god for me
l cannot carry the burden of those
tears anymore
l will come with you
Hereafter, Antony will be with
master, Dharmarajan
Considerthis word
as an offering from me
Tarzan Antony is going back
to the cinemas!
lf impulsive may be his nature
ln looks, he is handsome and calm
Though he looks like an ocean of arrogance
To those he's close,
know he's just a simpleton
lf he promises he delivers
Keeps his word
A confrontation and
he sure gives his blows
lf he promises he delivers
Keeps his word
A confrontation and
he sure gives his blows
l am a friend dude
and l will die for my friends
Haughty...l am
This is a trend my dear guys,
casual wear
l am trim
with my 6-pack body dudes
lt's hot news guys
Simple it may be but really hot
lf it's a hit somehow
Then you will be number one dude
Need attitude...no...no
Need a car...get lost dude
Need glasses that hides the eyes
Oh son of a star don't show off
For the dreams lying innermost
in our hearts, you are
A star born to share
the light of stardom
Come dudes
Get lost dudes
lf impulsive may be his nature
ln looks, he is handsome and calm
Though he looks like
an ocean of arrogance
To those he's close,
know he's just a simpleton
Dude, dude
Enough of your manipulations
Dude
Now let's throw our nets into the sea
The city of Kochi is good
Don't need a wife here
Mackerel, a good fish
Bro, don't use a kitchen knife
Breeds of 5 to10,
that are most mature
Minds that are bent/crooked
Dressed in colors
bright and clear
Walking straight
and right into us
One look at that
And lightning strikes the chest
Weaving stories
and narrating jokes
The heart splits open
Wrenching away
the windpipe, my bro
Need attitude...no...no
Need a car...get lost dude
Need glasses that hides the eyes
Oh son of a star don't show off
For the dreams lying innermost
in our hearts, you are
A star born to share the light of stardom
lf impulsive may be his nature
ln looks, he is handsome and calm
Though he looks like
an ocean of arrogance
To those he's close,
know he's just a simpleton

Though he looks like
an ocean of arrogance
To those he's close,
know he's just a simpleton
Fighter
You should cut it where he turns around
Why do you close it so soon?
Suresh, keep all the 5 cameras with
wide lenses
We need to see howto work out the
grandeur of this place
Since it is the dupe of Premanand,
we cannot go too close either
That is true
Do we have to shoot with his dupe on the
first day of the schedule?
Yes, we need to
All the television and news reporters
are here
We have to make it big
lt is necessary forthe marketing
of this movie
Let them all be surprised
Satya, where is the master?
He is setting up the frame
Greetings, sir!
We need to plan the hero's entry
after the villain and his gang have hit
his friends inside the factory
We can shoot the fights between the
villain and the gang later on
How can we make the hero's entry a
little different?
l had read the scene
and the plan is to keep
it as a bikejump like what you
have suggested
These bike jumps are very common
in movies
So, l plan to make it
a little thrilling
When the bikejumps
from the ramp,
there will be explosions
with bombs on either sides
That will be added through graphics
The bike then lands
after overtaking 3 cars
lt sounds good
The bike overtaking 3 cars,
the explosion...
The idea is charging me up already
But, l have a fear
that is bothering me
lf any mishap takes place on the first
day of the shoot,
it will be a black mark
on you and the movie
Don't you worry, sir
l have full confidence on the dupe artist
whom l have brought with me
From my 40 years of experience, l have
not come across such a brilliant artist
who can do a risky scene like this
lf you are fine with it, l am 10 times
more fine about it
He is here!
The superstar, Premanand
The rumor is that he has begged
Adityan sir for 1 and half years,
and his father, the home minister
has initiated this project
But, the way he is coming looks so
ordinary, isn't it?
Eldho, isn't that Honeydas?
Honeydas, why are the escort cars
not too efficient?
l have spoken to my dad
about your transfer
lt will be done soon
You should be around
when we have to go back
We will need escort
to keep away the crowd
What c..r..owd, bullshit!
There will hardly be 7 people in the
theaters to watch his movies
What does he need
police protection for?
Such a shame!
Have you lost weight?
Yes, it is your movie, isn't it?
Father has sent his well wishes because
he has got a cabinet meeting to attend
Good that he could not make it
He is such a bore
You have not changed one bit
The heroine is here, Gowri Menon
Look who's here!
Gowri Menon
l can excuse you that you did not call me
forthe 5 movies afteryour 1st one
But, what is the need for
so much of formality?
- Hope your parents are fine
-Yes, they are fine
They have gone
on a European trip with
theirfriends after the Dubai
shopping festival
They will be back next week
Prem, you have reached early!
l got late because my flight was delayed
Hey, that's okay
ln cinema, it is common
that small time actors like me...
...will have to wait for big
time actors like you
lt was to avoid this mockery that l had
apologized in the beginning itself
- How many shirts do we have?
- 3!
ls this a laundry?
Greetings sir
l am Murali Decentmukku,
makeup man for Gowri madam
ls Decentmukku,
your father's name?
No, it is a junction in
Thiruvananthapuram,
where my father
had a workshop
l am Satyan, the associate
director forthis movie
l know that
Lust, anger, happiness,
sadness, joy, fun, beggarly...
l want to know what style of makeup do
l have to do for her now
She is born with natural beauty
Please bring her
without destroying that
Carry on, Decentmukku
Let us have a rehearsal now
Master, shall we start with the
crane up shot?
Yes, like what we had
discussed earlier
Gowri, Prem,
this is master, Dharmarajan
He is handling
this fight sequence forthe movie
lt was only because of Adityan's
insistence that l have agreed to this
lf it does not come out well, we will have
to re-shoot it all over again
We will have to think about that!
No sir, l'm positive that,
it will turn out well
Sir...
Can you please move this camera
a little behind?
What for?
lt is a bike jump and sometimes the vehicle
might lose control after landing
My dear son, stop threatening me and
carry on with your work
You will not come anywhere nearthis
l have seen lots of bikejumps before
Suresh, move it to how he wants it to be
Let him do it comfortably
He is the one doing thejump and the
priority is, his confidence
Move it behind
Let me see howfar hejumps!
Carry on
We will shoot once you have changed
into your costume
Wasn't it nice that you had
moved it a little behind?
Master, who is this guy?
Tarzan Antony, he is my disciple
You were excellent!
You surprised us
What ajump that was!
Clean this seat for me
Are you ready?
Efforts are yours and
the appreciation is his
He doesn't feel bad about it too
Why should he feel bad?
He is doing his job
and we are doing ours'
You are a tiger
l was only worried about you tripping
when you came walking in slow motion
- Can l notjoke?
- Come on, l need a touch up
You are all nice people
But this is a movie camp
Antony, it is not healthy to get close to
someone by offering them a drink!
Pour me another drink!
l wonder what is
wrong with this fellow!
This is his room
He makes decent money by breaking
someone's hands or legs
He buys liquor with that money
The 3 of us will damage our livers
drinking that liquor
- So, why don't you all just eat me up?
- Huh?
Why don't you come to the point?
Tell us if we can get
Gowri Menon's autograph
What did youjust say?
Autograph? Whether it's possible?
She grew up in these hands
When she was in grade, 13...
Grade, 13?
No, l mean
when she was 13 years old,
she did not have anyone to help her
take part in some cultural events
lt was me, Decentmukku,
who helped her with
her makeup and thus she rose
to become a star then
So, if l request her, leave alone an
autograph, she will even give you her life
- ls that so?
-Yes...
Forget about the autograph
Shall we try the other alternate?
What is the other alternate?
l don't mind dying if l can get the life with
her, as youjust promised me now
Let us go right now
A life with her!
At this hour?
For you!
U Makkri (frog)
- l'm not Makkri, l'm Akkri
- lt's the same, anyways!
Gowri Menon is staying
in the suite room at Holiday lnn
lf you go there at this hour
asking herfor a life with her,
-Your present life will be destroyed
-Who told you that?
l will take you there
l, Murugan Decentmukku, will drink only
after l get you Gowri's autograph
- Come on, let us go
- Come on, Antony
- l am not coming with you
- Come on, it will be fun
Just accompany us
You are all drunk, you will create
problems and l will be answerable
Nobody should puke here
You can puke inside
This will become a problem
Come on, all of you
This way...no, this way...
We have not even
called to find out
Trust me, this will
become a problem
Just, come on, will you?
l'm going to get a new life
You started this!
- Sarla, see who that is
-Yes, dear
Sarla, where is our Gowri?
Why do you want to see her at this hour?
What do you want?
l don't want you
Won't you call her
unless you know the reason?
Ask my little girl to come here
What is it?
What is the matter?
Tell her what it is!
Don't tell her
that it's because of me
My bread and butter will suffer
l will never repeat this again
Why are you all here
at this hour?
Antony, please tell her
Me?
Tell her!
What is the matter?
- He is a friend of mine
- Mine too...
He wants a life...
No...a photograph...
Autograph...
Yes, if you can give him
an autograph...
Nothing at all, madam...
We will leave now and
see you at the sets tomorrow
Please wait!
Give me that book and pen
lsn't your name, Antony?
Yes
The bike jump in the morning,
was simply awesome
We were actually terrified,
but, it was outstanding
l have trained him, madam
So, he will not go wrong
You?
l am Basha, assistant to master,
Dharmarajan
l was behind the scenes,
hence not seen!
Take this
l am Akkri...
Sorry, Sunil Kumar
l am a great fan of yours'
l keep watching your movies,
a minimum of, at least 3 times
What is it?
What is happening here?
Who are you all?
Here is, Premanand sir
We have come to get
Gowri madam's autograph
Autograph, at this hour?
Who allowed you all in here?
Gowri, call up the security
You get drunk and create problems
like this at night
We will not create
any problems for you, sir
All that we wanted is madam's signature
and we have got it
We do not want your autograph
You sat idle at home for 1 and half years
and finally got to work now
Stop talking too much and get lost
Or else, l will call the police
and get you all behind bars
- Don't threaten us
-Just stop it
Madam, we are really grateful
Come on
l like the way you act but,
you need to improve a bit
Are you okay, Gowri?
Did they trouble you?
Nothing at all, Prem
They were very nice people
They just wanted an autograph
Sarla, don't open the door
if someone disturbs like this
Just ring up my room
Go to bed, Gowri
ln 2 to 3 days time, my dad will be coming
to meet you at the sets
Will the home minister, who is ruling the
state, find time for all that?
He has to find time
lt is the question of his son's future
l will call you back
What is it, master?
What is it, Basha?
The fighters who were supposed to reach
here last night, have not yet come
When we called up the fighter's union,
We were told that, none of the fighters are
willing to work with Dharmarajan
lt is Udhay
He must have told them
that none should come here
What is the way out, master?
We should neither be a burden
to Adityan sir, nor the movie
We should leave
Let Udhay, himself do it
The shooting has to happen
l will go and inform Adityan sir
Just a minute, master
lsn't this a combined fight between the
hero's friends and the villain's gang?
We have our artists as one gang and the
fighters planned, were the opponents
Master, how will this sequence look if it is
shot with 3 to 4 cameras as a single shot?
l could not get you
You can get ready for the shot, master
We have a way out
Get down soon...
Take whatever fits each of you
Give me one
l will! Please be patient
lsn't there one for me?
-Are they ready?
-Yes, master, they are
Ayyappa
Start hitting!
Master, they have not understood what,
Ayyappa means
Say, 'action'
They have told 'action'
Start hitting
Why is that old man shouting out, 'action'?
What is this, 'action'?
Who knows?
Master, can l have
the microphone for a minute?
Brothers, start hitting
Keep hitting...
Hit down all of them
What are they doing?
Come on, hit
Master, they are actually hitting
each other
Oh god!
Stop it
They have asked you to stop
They are asking you all to stop!
Master...
- Police...escape...
-Where are you going?
What is this, Antony?
They are my friends from my colony
Come back all of you
These are all rare lucks in cinema
This looks so much better than what we
choreograph using those fighters
lt is shot live
lt was nice of Antony to think of calling
people from his colony
l, never expected it
to be so successful
That boy is a good one!
He is yourtrue disciple
Udhay, will never succeed fighting
He, who wins fighting,
will always be good at heart
There is no need to praise him so much for
some fight that clicked good by fluke
l had not planned the fight like this
The Jimmy jib should be compressed...
Hey, stop, stop
First and foremost, learn what you have
been assigned to do
You can climbjibs and cranes later on
There are other people here to do it now
Gowri, l'm leaving now
There is a solitaire
exhibition at Kirtilal's
Thanks, Prem!
Hey, just come here
There is no point in telling her that you
will buy her a solitaire or an earring
lt doesn't work that way
She has grown up seeing money
You will have to
try something else!
Get lost!
Have you given the list of the art
properties for tomorrow?.
At the time of the shot, you should not be
saying that, something is missing
Yes, sir
- Have you arranged for the crane?
-Yes, sir
Please re-check on that
Greetings!
l am Prabhu Solomon, president for the
fighters union
Yes, greetings sir
l want to meet the fight master for
your movie, right now
What is the matter, sir?
Why should l tell you the reason?
Call out that old man!
What have you planned
fortomorrow?.
lt is Gowri's jump from the building
The climax
Can youjump from the building?
l can try that, sir
lt is the drive that you need
The male lead for the movie is a person who
will not even come near a chit with the
word, 'jump', written on it
So, it is you, the south lndian actress,
who has to balance that
Sir, we have a small issue here
Udhay is waiting down with people from
of the fighters' union
One issue afterthe other!
He will not leave without getting it
from me today
Come with me, master
The problem will worsen if you go,
see him now
We will go, handle it amicably
Satya, whether it is dealt
amicably or not,
Udhay will not be doing
this movie hereafter
All the fights will be handled by
master, himself
l don't care even being, banned by the
fighters' union
Go on!
You cannot justify this in any way
When we have a very
efficient fighters' union
How did you have the guts to do a
scene with non-members of the union?
lt was just hours before the shoot,
l got to know that the fighters whom l had
booked for my fights will not
be coming forthe same
l checked with the fighters' union and l
was told that the fighters are not
interested in doing the movie if, Udhay
is not handling the fights in it
l did not have a choice then
You should notjustify
this after having
done the job using people from
the streets
We will block the release of this movie if,
Dharmarajan, who has violated the law is
going to continue doing this
movie further
Yes, let me see
what you can do!
Who has called you here,
right now?.
l did!
He will talk for me, hereafter
lt is true that,
if a person wants to act as a
fighter in a movie, he has to be a member
of the fighters' union
But, if a new actor is being
given a chance
to act in a movie, it is not necessary that,
he has to be a member of any of the unions
lf my friends
from Five Star colony,
who have done the fights for Dharmarajan are
also characters in the movie...
Characters?
What characters?
l will...
Yes, Udhay, they are uncles, cousins, aunts,
neighbors to the heroine in the movie
You can clarify your doubts with...
...Satyan sir, associate directorfor
the movie
Huh?
Yes, they are all very important
characters in the movie
But, after the final edit, they might be
seen only in this fight scene
That freedom is left
to Adityan sir,
who is the script-writer
and director forthis movie
Exactly!
lt is the same union that has told that
the fight master and his assistant have
the right to decide a scene which does not
involve the hero or his dupe in the movie
This is the reason
why l had told that,
you cannot do anything to block the
release of this movie
We have good beef cooked by the
production today
You can have your share of it,
burp 4 times and get lost
Basha
We had fought like this, long ago
You went on your way
and l am back on my way
There is a style of fight
outside cinema
which you fighters and fight masters
are not aware of
Don't force me!
l will hit you
Udhay, leave!
Get lost!
Leave it
Don't create problems over here
That was a good one
There has never ever been a twist like
this in any of Adityan sir's movies
Gowri, these people will tell you
many such things
But, nobody can guarantee you
complete safety
l mean to tell you that,
in case of an accident,
nobody will be there to
help you out
lt is not offending to use
a dupe artist to do the act
We have arranged for
all the safety equipments, sir
There is a new harness and rope which was
specifically ordered forthis movie
During the first discussion itself,
Adityan sir had mentioned that,
Gowri madam will be doing this shot all by
herself without the help of a dupe
Who asked you
to interfere into this?
You want to shoot this
by making the heroine,
herselfjump from the building,
isn't it?
You have lot of your fighters who wag
their tails and work for daily wages
You can make
one of them jump for you
lf the camera is kept here, one cannot
recognize the person who is jumping
You don't have to teach us
where to place the camera
You, l, Gowri and master are very much
aware of the risks involved in this shot
But, good action movies
and good actors are born ...
...when the actors involved are
willing to take risks like this
The audience know who the actor
and the dupe is
You cannot do it without a dupe
Why do you want to spoil
the confidence of someone
who is willing to do it
without a dupe?
This is one among
the most important sequences
that lead the movie towards
its climax
lf Gowri, herself, does this jump, it will
have a very good impact on our movie
But, l will not force you
The decision is yours'
Aditya, what l mean to say is...
Prem, it's Gowri's decision
Antony, tell me whether my safety is
guaranteed if l do this shot
Yes, 100 percent
lf we had any doubts
regarding the safety aspects,
we would have never allowed you
to do this shot
lt is quite natural
to feel scared about it
l can do
a trial shot for you
lf you are confident afterthat,
you can go ahead with doing the shot
- Basha,
-Yes
Get me the harness
Antony, are you ready?
l will do it
Madam, are you alright?
ls it true
Or was it only a dream of mine
Who, who can you be
ls it true
Or was it only a dream of mine
Who, who can you be
Like an unknown poem
Like a heart in search of
desires, all alone
Now beside me, you are
Oh divine woman
Sprinkling showers of magical stardust
With melting tenderness
Adorning me with that grace
For the first time
Have the gardens of
heavens blossomed
As love within the heart
broke into rhythm
Like a tiny little firefly
With fluttering wings,
simply come away with me
Will you come away
Like a tiny little firefly
With fluttering wings,
simply come away with me
Will you come away
ls it true
Or was it only a dream of mine
Who, who can you be
Like an unknown poem
Like a heart in search of
desires, all alone
Now beside me, you are
Like any other movie, the success of this
movie cannot be owned by me, alone
The fact that, master, Dharmarajan,
who introduced me to movies, has worked
with me in this movie, makes
the success more pleasurable
There will be many to own up a success
But, failure, is a lonely man, all alone
l hope that, there will be
many more good movies
and personalities in
Malayalam cinema
Greetings to all of you
l request producer, Major Ravi
to hand overthe momentum
to our superstar, Premanand
Forthe past 3 years,
l have been experiencing
the pain of one's talent
going unnoticed
This movie, 'Fighter', is an answer to
those of you, who have told that,
Premanand doesn't knowto dance,
fight or even act
The action sequences that
you have enjoyed seeing in this movie
is the result of my efforts
forthe past 2 years
When doing the extremely
adventurous scenes,
l have avoided using a dupe even
when the director had requested me to
- Can l howl forthis?
- Stop it
l believe that, l was even the motivation
behind Gowri Menon's decision tojump
from the building in the climax scene
The shots l did risking my life...
Come, let us go
There is food for all, after this
Please listen to me
Where is Antony's house?
Which Antony?
Tarzan Antony?
Huh?
Aren't you, Gowri Menon?
Oh god!
Gowri Menon is here to see Tarzan!
Move away
Come this way
Do not touch the car
Look who's here
Someone's here
to see you, father!
- Welcome madam!
- Greetings!
- Get that chair, please move away
- l want to sit here too
- Please wake up, brother
- What is it?
Come outside
There is a lot of commotion out there
Who is it?
l'm...
You will get it from me!
That's my son
No, no... l'm his father!
Madam, why are you here?
l am here to see you, Antony
To see me?
You could have called me
and l would've come to meet you
ln that case, l would not have been able to
see your house and this colony
Why did you leave early, yesterday?
l did not stay back
for the dinner
l wanted to get back home
before it got too late
Yesterday, everybody spoke about the
action sequences in our movie
There is a notion
that a movie is made up of...
...only the actors involved
and those names in the end credits
Yesterday, those people who rejoiced the
success of our movie
might not have seen Antony in it
But, that does not nullify all that you
have done for the movie
That movie would not have happened
without Antony
and l know that better than
anyone else does
This is my gift for you, Antony, who had put
in the maximum efforts forthis movie
This...for me...madam...
Why can't you accept
a gift from me?
Shall l take leave now,
Tarzan...Antony?
This looks good!
R O L...sex, rol sex!
lt is not rolsex, you pork
lt's Rolex, a very expensive
brand of watches
- 10 to 15 lakhs?
-Yes, of course
Why look at the price now?.
We have understood!
What have you understood?
Brother, there is an English film
with a similar story
l can't remember the name now
There is a scene in that, where the heroine
falls in love with a beggar
The affair started with the heroine
gifting the beggar a watch
lt's yourfather, who is a beggar!
Get lost...
Muthu, do you still
remember this route?
Don't be sarcastic
You knowthat, hell will break lose if,
Udhay comes to know
that l've come here now
Come on
So, how are things with you?
lt's all the same
Hey, St.Antony!
You, little chilli,
you are here as well?!
She looks really happy
Where is the guy from?
He is from Canannore
and works for KSRTC
His parents were really adamant
about the dowry
But, he was willing to
just marry her without it
She is handicapped and l cannot just
send her off like that
How are the preparations forthe
wedding going on?
lt's happening slowly but there is a lack
of 1 to 1.25 lakhs more
There will be a way out
lt is the first marriage in the family and
it has to be well conducted
Please wait
Take this money for now
l will try on my behalf too
There is no need of this
l do need money but, l can borrow only
what l'm sure can be returned back
l am not sure
l can pay back this loan
Who told you that, this is a loan?
She is my sistertoo
l want to conduct her wedding
with the money that, l earn
Okay, fine
But, if you are in need, l should be
the first one to whom you will ask for help
l am glad that, there is someone
to say this to me
l am more confident now
Come in, sir
Has the birthday party
started already?
lt is just getting started, sir
Please, take a seat inside
Who gave you
this news about your sister?
Basheer, from the colony told me this
There was a huge crowd, it seems!
She went driving on her own,
without informing anyone
Gautham, don't create a problem
because of this
l will deal with it, myself
- Son!
-Yes
Come down, the VlPs are all here
Come on
Yes, dear
What is the need for all this?
l am happy you are here
Why are you talking too many dialogues?
He is the leaderfor our group
lf l had not come
for his invitation,
l will continue to be only a MLA
even next year
Who is this?
l don't know him
He is my friend,
Gautham Menon
You have seen him before
He is Gowri Menon's, brother
Oh, is it?
What do you do?
- l am planning to start a new business
- ls Gowri, not here?
She will be just reaching now
Yes, come in
l am a little late
Since the person you were awaiting has
reached, shall we now cut the cake?
ls it okay if we just keep the kids
going on like this?
lt is an outdated practice that,
we need to interfere in all this
Let they, themselves
decide about it
The wedding should happen
when you are still in power
l did not think of all this!
The scene that l did without a dupe,
had got a well applauded
response from the audience
So, l wanted to gift him for that
ls that a big problem now?.
Why did you have to go alone
to such a place, to gift him?
Prem, why are you talking to me like a guy,
who is suspecting his wife?
You can consider that, he has rights over
you like a husband
Whom did you go,
meet at that Five Star colony today?
Gowri, you should be aware
of the fact that, we are celebrities
Petty issues of today,
can become big news fortomorrow
and it will be misinterpreted
Prem, he doesn't have sense
Why make a big issue of
a silly thing like this?
This might look silly for you
Gautham, this is not our house!
Right now, he needs a friend
who tells him what's right and wrong,
and not someone who keeps entertaining him
by taking care of his expenses
Prem, l have realized that, you are not
being a good friend to him
They will be going to the guys house
after the wedding today
Won't you reach before the
auspicious time?
Okay
Greetings, welcome in
Master, there is
absolutely no news
lf he had boarded the bus that he was
supposed to, he would have been here by now
He was supposed to call me once
he reaches the station
But, his phone is switched off
There is a car waiting for him
at the station
Where has he gone?
How far is it?
St.Antony, you are looking
really smart, today!
Ever since childhood, it was decided
that, your wedding chain
will sponsored by me
But, since your brother who is so
prestige conscious, will not agree to that,
please keep this from me
Has brother, Muthu reached?
No, not yet, he will reach soon
Why did he have to go forthis shoot on
the eve of my wedding?
lt is his job
We cannot plan it the way we want to
Get ready soon
There are lots of rituals to be conducted
- See you in the evening
-Yes, of course
-You had reached yesterday, itself?
-Yes
Where has this Muthu gone?
What is wrong?
What is it?
Master, what is it?
What happened?
Antony, Basha had called up
Muthu...yesterday...
an accident at the sets...
What is it, Basha?
What happened?
lt was last evening, whilejumping from
the top of the building
Muthu, was not used to
doing all that
But, it was a deal agreed for 75,000l-
So, he must have...
The safety net and the air bed was
all arranged
But, some miscalculation somewhere!
He fell on his head...
Our Muthu is gone forever...
l want to conduct her wedding with the
money that, l earn
We cannot keep him
lying here like this
We have to take him
Yes, but, there are
procedures for that
ln the case of accidents like this,
it is the fight master...
...who has to reach
the deceased fighter home
l have been requesting
Udhay for so long
But, he says he can only do it
once the shoot is over
lt is 6 to 7 hours now,
since the post-mortem
Hit him here and then, this way
Come this way
Who has turned off the lights?
What business do you have
here, at my set?
Do you want to shoot
when the body of a person
who had risked his life for you,
is lying there?
That is my assistant
and this is my set
You don't have to teach me
what to do here
He is no more because of you
and your movie
We all grew up together
That is our Muthu,
who is lying there
Stop talking and get off the field
The hero for this movie is flying off
tomorrow morning to New Zealand
for his honeymoon
lf the shooting does not
happen today,
do you know how much of money will be at loss
for me, the producer of this movie?
There is a little sister back home,
sitting at her wedding altar,
awaiting her brother's return
Will your loss be more valuable
than her tears?
l request you
to kindly stop the shoot
Please reach him home and
do the needful for his family
My job is not to solve
such petty issues
Go, get 1000 or 2000 from my manager
and leave right now
He jumped for money
lt is his loss that, he had to die
How can l compensate for that?
Get lost, you wretch!
Get out!
Get out, l say!
You are a cheat who has betrayed
your own sibling
A producer can consider it alright to
just throw money over him
and deal with it
But, you should not
support that, Udhay
He did the same profession as you and me
lt has truth and respect in it
You forgot that now
But, you will think about it one day
There will be a day...
Sir, l was only aware of an accident at
the set yesterday
l did not know that,
someone had died
l have never known of a movie
which had to be rushed up
even when someone working
in it has died during its course
This is simply too much
and l cannot work forthis anymore
You told me that,
only you would be coming here
Gowri, is it a problem for you that,
l am here too?
l did not mean to say that
Afterthe last movie, you have
gifted me a name that,
l cannot do a movie successfully
when Gowri Menon, is not there in it
So, l just wanted
to show you my face
Was the shooting cancelled today?
Yes, a fighter had died in an accident
at the set
Did you go
to the house of the deceased?
Yes, l did! Why do you ask?
You will be the first heroine,
who has cancelled shoot
and gone forthe cremation of a fighter
who was killed on the sets
Who is that deceased for you?
What is the relationship
between you and that Antony,
who had come there to stop
the shoot?
Gautham, you are really drunk
Let us talk tomorrow morning
Leave now
Who are you to ask me to leave?
l will not go till l get to know all
what l want to know
Gowri, you are a big star today
Stopping the shoot because a fighter
was killed there,
talking disrespectfully to the producer
will only fetch you bad names
There is a lot of gossip about you
in the industry today
l am more concerned about you
than what a co-artist should normally be
That is what your mom
has expected of me as well
lf you had at least considered me
as your co-artist,
you would have avoided this situation of
coming here with him at this hour
l have not given anyone the permission
to interfere with my personal matters
So, please leave with him now
Gowri, l'm...
l will...
Get out!
Gautham, come on
Ask her to get lost
l know how to live without her
l have found ways to finish her off,
if necessary
l will kill you,
you, son of a donkey!
l have been taking care of
your expenses and entertaining you
only because of your sister
who has been the bait
l have been thinking of her
for years together
l will not keep any of you alive
if l lose her
- Have you understood that?
- Leave him!
There is no point in both of you
fighting against each other
Today, how does she have the guts
to ask you to get out?
You considered her as your girl
Today, if she does not feel
the same foryou,
it is only because of him,
Tarzan Antony!
He is the priority for her today
For her, both of you,
come only afterAntony
So, don't waste time
Think of something soon!
Eldho, is right
She has changed
after she met that, 'stray dog'
He should be dealt with
He is the cause of our problems
But, how do we?
l can suggest a way forthis
Basheer sir's movie, 'Asurapada',
that had stopped in between,
is having its patch work done
at Vazakala tomorrow
Dharmarajan is the fight master
for the same
Antony will be there too
Can you?
Finish him off tomorrow?.
- Basha
-Yes, master
The industrial crane
has not reached yet
lt was supposed
to be here by 7'o clock
l've arranged for another one
through our production manager
- lt will reach soon
-Where is Antony?
He is putting on
the harness jacket
- ls the harness tight enough?
-Yes, it is
lt should not
go loose once youjump
- Have you put on the strap?
-Yes, master
Have you given him everything?
Master, crane has come
l have reached here
Okay
For the jump that,
you are going to do,
there's a voice to depict the shout
like this in the dubbing studio
- lt is funny to see that
- Okay
- ls the crane ready?
-Yes, it is
Basha, is it ready?
Yes, master
Antony, are you ready?
Antony, my dear!
Move away, all of you!
-Are you hurt, my dear?
- l am alright, master
What was the problem?
That crane operator
let loose the lever on purpose
- The rope will break otherwise!
-Where is he?
He is not to be seen
He has escaped!
Escaped?
Ask them to get the car
Go on!
What are you all watching?
Stop there!
Don't make us run like this
Stop there
lf l catch hold of you, l will...
Catch him l say!
Brother, just tell us the truth
Or else, Tarzan has a very
good treatment for you
He will cut in between your ribs
with a rusted knife
He will then, put in
a handful of mud into it
Mud, from Five Star colony
which will decay there
Sabu dear, both of us do not have
a problem with each other
You have nicely done thejob
that was quoted to you
Tell us who ordered you to do this and we
will give you your fill of rice cooked
with meat and help you board the
vehicle home
Otherwise...
l will tell you...
Hey, stop there!
l will kill you,
if you try to stop me
Who are you to hit him?
My son!
Gowri, call the police
My dear son
What are you doing?
What is the matter?
Ask him what the matter is
You might not
be aware of it, madam!
There was an accident at the set,
yesterday
l was acting as the dupe
to the hero...
...l fell 200 feet down the rocks because the
lever of the crane was left loose
l guess it is only because of my mother's
prayers that l am still alive
But, l caught hold of
that crane operator
When he was questioned
the way he should be...
...he owned up that, it was this cheat
who wanted me to be killed
Haven't you understood?
Your dear brother
had paid him to kill me
l know why he wanted a stranger
like me to be killed
Leave that aside
Madam, you need to be
careful as well
He will not hesitate to do
the same to you tomorrow
He is a bastard who cannot
even recognize his own blood
This real life drama is even
betterthan those in my movies!
Astunt man who enters the heroine's house
and hits her brother
The heroine leaves home,
deciding to stay alone in a flat
Amidst all this, the heroine has some kind
of an infatuation for the stunt man
-Antony is...
-What?
lnitially, l had considered it
as a filmy mischief
Afancy that, a girl
could feel for a stunt man
who was effortlessly doing his job
and outshining the hero
Or, a time-pass at the sets of the movie
We, often see a lot of it happening
But, l feel that, this is like
none of those, am l right?
So, this blush is the reply
to my question
l know you are not
the kind who believes in,
'a rich girl meets poor boy',
kind of romance
l am sure you have thought of all the
consequences involved in this
You will not have
excuses that other
heroines have like, ill treatment at home
or not being loved at home
You feel secure with him
Does he know
that you feel this for him?
l guess he feels it too
- Haven't you told him?
- No, l have not
You should tell him
99 percent of the affairs get destroyed
because of the lack of communication
The guy keeps expecting the girl to
approach him first, or vice versa
Finally, both of them walk away
on different paths
l should tell him, but...
But, you are worried that, it will end up
being a one way traffic
Let us ask him about it
l will ask Antony to come over
Yes, sir
l am alright, sir
l will come, sir
l will come there
Okay
Nobody would have let him go
The only consideration l had, was because
he is Gowri madam's brother
l had even suspected it to be Udhay,
who has done it
lf they had offered
lakhs to get me killed,
it is evident that, their intention
was something else
They have the doubts that, there is
something between madam and me
l can take care of myself
But, you should tell madam to be careful
She might not be able
to escape from them
l did not call you
to ask you about all this
Why are you so agitated?
ln madam's case...
Yes, why be so considerate
about her?
Gowri, is not the first actress that you
have come across
What is the matter?
l did not mean that, sir...
Some time back, l saw a similar,
'groping for words', from her too
With this nature of yours', it is natural
for her to be scared to approach you
lt will also be so embarrassing
forthe south lndian actress
if she doesn't get
the same response from you too
But, you can tell her
You should tell her
if you too feel the same for her
lt is not that l don't feel the same
l am not eligible to!
l should only desire something
that, l'm eligible for
lt is only the society that says
you should not desire
and you are not eligible to
Forget the society!
lt is the both of you,
who have to decide
She does not want someone
with herto guard her
She wants to know,
if you can be hers'
ou remain forever etched
in my memories
l see only you
in this entire world
ou are the unspoken words
in my heart
Like happiness that fills my life
The music that awakens
Like a smile that never fades
in my memories
l see only you
in this entire world
ou are the unspoken words
in my heart
Like happiness that fills my life
The music that awakens
Like a smile that never fades
in my memories
Like the love that steals in silently
Filling my whole being
unknown to others
Like a beautiful dawn
that comes whistling in
As a fresh new season of flowers
our desires bloom
ln my memories you remain
like a smile forever
HERO
Yes, it is 'Hero', the next movie by Adityan
sir, after 'Fighter' with the same team,
Gowri and Prem
Shooting will start
on the day after tomorrow
The photo shoot is happening here
right now
So, please come to the location on the
day after tomorrow
Their photos with the cowboy attires
have to taken
-Yes
- Can you click those?
Please trust me, sir
l am going to
the guest house now
Master, Dharmarajan is waiting there
to plan out the first fight
Hey producer, are you
coming with me?
Come, let's go
Let the producer be here
l need to discuss some things with him
Haven't you finished discussing yet?
You have to bear with it
So, see you
at the location, tomorrow
Prem sir is here
Be quick!
lt is very difficult to see
through this black glass
l wonder which side
he is getting down from
l will call you back
Basha
-Yes, sir
- l will show you
Look here, first punch
on the stomach...
Satya, is it a fight that has been
planned for the first day?
The shooting forthe movie, 'Fighter',
had also started with a fight
lt turned out to be a good luck
lt went onto 100 days of show
Oh, l see!
lt was luck and not because of my
performance that, the movie did well is it?
- l will...
- No, sir, the...
Whole of last night,
when you drank from me
l had told you
that this beggar...
...should not be assisting master,
Dharmarajan in this movie
After agreeing to all that,
have you brought him here...
...this morning to prove
your disrespect for my words?
Will l do that, sir?
When master, Dharmarajan
was particular that he wanted him...
Adityan asked me not
to change the same
When the director himself says that,
how can l disagree to it?
Who is this Adityan
and Dharmarajan?
This movie is sold in my name
People do not come to the theaters
to see them
Go, right now
l should not see him
around here anymore
Prem, go, get your makeup done
instead of creating a raucous here
Why, show off your ego like this!
l will not go for my makeup unless
a decision has been made about this
l can't understand why you want
to fight forthis slum dog
You...
lf the same slum dog
was not there with you,
you would have flopped
with your last movie
Don't forget that
The audience may not know,
but we all know
who owns the reason for all the applause
that you had got in the theaters
So, keep away all your ego and go start
with your makeup like a good boy
This movie is different
lt will be sold with my rights too
So, you cannot decide it
all by yourself
You have to decide right now,
whetheryou want Premanand
or a fighter, working
on daily basis for this movie
l, Premanand will not do this movie
if he is going to be there in it
So, will you not act in my movie if,
Antony is around?
l will not!
So, what do we do now?.
Shall we decide it like that?
Shall we, master?
You are not required
for this movie
Antony will assist
the master in my movie
lf you agree to it, go,
wearyour costume and come
Or else, take all these black cats,
who have accompanied you and leave
l will see how you can
finish this movie without me
Do all the tricks that you can
We will see
Leave!
Come on!
There he goes...
l will go,
beg Prem to come back
lt is very sad that, this had to happen on
the first day of the shoot itself
lt is good that, this has happened
on the first day itself
What if it had happened after
several days?
What do we do now?.
There is not a single scene in this
location, without Prem in it
Boss, if you have the guts to carry on,
we can go ahead with this movie
Otherwise, this movie
ends here, right now
and l will pay you all
what you have spent on this
No, sir, we have to do this movie
But, how can we, without Prem?
We have made a successful movie with Prem,
who did not have any movie to his credit
So, it is not the actor, but,
the movie that's important
l feel it was destined that,
he had to leave like this
We can try a new actor
Are you ready to trust me?
But, whom can we get in
such a short notice?
lt's him!
He is my Hero!
ln the last movie...
...his faceless performance is what
the audience had applauded for
We will give him a face
in this movie
A newface!
He is my hero
As the news channels
have reported,
Adityan did not deny Premanand
of this movie
Premanand walked out
of it by choice
This is howthe news should be reported
Did you hear that?
Welcome to the entertainment news
for today
There is a new actor in director,
Adityan's latest movie, 'Hero'
The new actor had acted as a fighter
in his previous movie, 'Fighter'
At the beginning of the shoot, when
Premanand had reached the location as
the hero for the movie, there was a
disagreement with the director
regarding the new hero in it
Antony, who had been
the fight assistant
in the previous movie,
is the hero for the new movie
Did you see the new celebrity couple,
Tarzan Antony and Gowri Menon?
Do what you have to do
right now...
before you end up seeing
their posters all around the place
lf you have thought of such a poster,
tear it off right now itself
l know what has to be done
No matter who acts in that movie,
instead of me
But, Antony will not
Yes, l will not act
Me, as a film actor!
Acting in a movie is not
like being the dupe in it
l will tell you what the biggest
drawback is
ln case l act in a movie
and that becomes a hit...
can l come, sit and drink
somewhere like this?
Can l go, stand
in a queue somewhere?
Can l go, stalk girls
from the church choir?
Unemployed people, like us,
are these with you for all that
Afilm actor, from amongst us
Please agree to it, Antony!
Luck does not wait for anyone
lt's okay, let it go it's way
No matter how talented a person is,
cinema is a very rare opportunity
Those who get the opportunity,
might not be lucky enough
Those who are lucky, might not
be talented enough
lf you agree to it, there are
so many lives that will be changed
Yes, lots of lives will be changed,
including mine!
l am in deep love
with my current life
Won't you grant me
my last wish?
Yes, l will
Pay this bill fortoday
Do something nice,
before you die
- There he goes
- Come, let's go
This is 1000 bucks!
Cinema, is for people who have not
passed the 10th grade in school
Mathew had warned us that, today is
the last day to pay off the interest
He has been saying
that for long now
lf he acts in the movie,
all our worries...
Who is Antony?
Not me
lt's me
Who are you?
Antony...
Brother, Hakim...
Luckily, that guy had tripped
when he was attacking you
Otherwise, your bone
would have got cut
They are new boys
They got petrified, seeing blood
Antony, what has gone
wrong with you?
Nothing at all, brother
l am wondering who has...
You can hang up
l will call you back
lt was Jaffer's call
The boys were from Themaanath
They were paid by
Premanand's manager, Eldho
Suni, get all our boys
l want to go and teach them
a lesson today
Wait there
Where are you off to?
lf you want to actually teach them a
lesson, you should not go and hit them back
You should hit him where it matters
You should, act in the movie
Hakim has a point
lf you go and act in the movie in which he
was thrown out from, it will prick him hard
We can enjoy seeing that
We are at
the shooting location of
Adityan's, 'Hero', a movie which had seen
a lot of controversies recently
Adityan had avoided superstar,
Premanand, the reason to which is not yet
revealed and has introduced
Dharmarajan's assistant, Antony as the
hero in this movie
This is a mega cinema which is being
looked forward to by the malayalees
This is probably the first time that,
a fighter has been made hero in a movie
We hope to see
a big action film from
Antony, who has been the dupe for
the fight sequences in several of
Adityan's movies so far
This movie will be
a favorite among
the news and television reporters
because they have lots to gossip about it
What do you want me to do?
Should l allowthem to stay
or ask them to leave?
Let them be here
lt is good that the audience get familiar
with Antony's face
l have removed an existing hero
and introduced him
So, they will be curious
to know who he is
lt is always good
to create a build-up
Suresh...
Keep a straight racket and charge
in on a compact frame
We can ask him
to say a dialogue first
This is the one, isn't it?
l wanted to be here because it is the first
time that, Antony is acting like this
Though he has done a lot of fight
sequences, this is the first time...
...he is acting by saying
dialogues in a movie
He will feel more confident
when he sees you here
Satya, where is Antony?
He has been ready with his costume
and makeup since morning
He had come and taken
the dialogues from me, last night
Since the shooting is
in front of the Church...
...he wanted to go
and light candles inside
He will be coming now
There comes our hero!
You have spoken to Christ and prayed
Are you confident?
lt is easierto jump from buildings
and run through fire
But, learning half a page of dialogues
and delivering it, is scaring me
l am not expecting a great miracle
from you in the first shot itself
Just say your dialogues
without mistakes
Rest of it will be alright
The character is very much evident on
your face and your body language
Be bold!
l will try, sir
Yes, try it
Wish you all success, my dear
Have you learned the dialogues?
Carry on
At the age of 16,
it was near a shed at
Vyasarpadi, that carpenter, Murugan had
first given me a weapon in my hands
But, before it could destroy lives, she
came like a candle light at the altar
She has not asked me
to forget anything
She has not tried to correct me
with her words or deeds
Her silence was enough to calm the evil in
me and to teach me obedience
All that my actor has to be is,
bold and sincere to you job
But, be careful
When you are becoming a hero, there are
lots of villains getting ready foryou
Outside this cinema!
Your security is the main responsibility
of every member of this set
lt is more my need than yours,
to complete this movie
lt is a revenge
You have to promise me that, you will not
leave this set till this movie gets over
Oh black serpents that touch the
darkness of dark Lord Krishna
Oh black serpents that touch the
darkness of dark Lord Krishna
With menacing canines bathed in blood
and dancing to the rapid rhythms of drums
With the figure of the frightening
eight curved demon
Dancing on earth the dance of death
The heart within writhes in pain
With a yearning that
this rain of tears will soon stop
Oh black serpents that touch the
darkness of dark Lord Krishna
-Antony, 9'o clock tomorrow
- Okay, brother
See you tomorrow
Antony, we are shooting
inside your colony tomorrow
- So, l hope food will be from your house
-Yes, we can get that done
Brother, Hakim!
-Why are you here?
- Come with me
Father, did they lay
their hands on you?
No, they don't have
the guts to do that
- Come on
- Okay, let me take leave now
You should not have come here,
amidst yourjob
Father, don't make me
talk too much!
You took my vehicle to the beverages
corporation, without my permission, isn't it?
There is no rule which says that,
we cannot drive...
...a vehicle to the beverages
corporation
lt is true that, l had gone
to the beverages corporation
But, l wasn't drunk
when they arrested me
l swear on you!
See, am l drunk?
Get on, l will drop you
l will get on, but, on the way,
you have to...
My purpose of going there was
not solved
Hmmm...
You are a big star and
can't you do this for your father?
Get on, father
Shall l? l will...
They have left this place
l will slap you tight
l have told you
all a 100 times that,
no matter what, he should not be
allowed to go outside the set
Everybody here is aware of what is
awaiting him outside the safety of this set
ln spite of that, why did you?...
We were not aware of it, sir
lt is only laterthat, the production
manager had informed us that,
his dad has been taken by the police
and he has gone to take care of that
Does he, himself have to go, get his father
out from the police station?
We would have handled it
with the help of an advocate
One problem, after another!
l am walking on pins to do this movie
All the planning should happen only
afterfinding him and getting him back
Go, right now...
l am on leave
l have taken a room in heaven
Father, please hold on tight
Else, you will fall!
No, l will never fall
when you are with me
How is mom?
She is too much
She has stuck your pictures
all overthe walls,
like howthese young girls stick
pictures of their favorite stars
Anyways, Mary dear
will be surprised today
Father, it is you
who will be surprised
She will be waiting in front
of the house, with a stick
l am sure she has come
to know of all this
The shoot is supposed to happen
in the colony tomorrow
So, she will be surprised
to see you there today
You are using Mary's
surprise as a reason...
...to start celebrations even before
the shoot ends tomorrow
They have just passed by
Catch them there
l am following too
Start off
Who is it?
- Move the car
- Father...
l am talking to you
Move the car
Move this way, father
- Father!
- My son...
My son...
Father...
- My son
- Father...
Stop there!
Father...
Get up, father...
lt's okay, father
They have killed me
l have taken a room in heaven
They are jealous, seeing the love
between the father and son
You should become a famous actor
That's my desire!
Come on, mother...
We know what you are
thinking, right now
l am not asking you to forgive those
who have killed yourfather
But, if you do something now...
...yourfather who had dreamt of seeing
you as an actor,will be the loser
The people who have done this, will be
winning all what they had wanted to
ls that what you want?
l'm not asking you to forgive them
l'm only requesting you to be patient
We have the final day of shoot
tomorrow, in your colony
Can't you wait till then?
l had expected him to come here
after his father has been buried
l was wrong
Adityan's shoot is starting again,
tomorrow
One more day of shoot for Antony
and that movie will be complete
lf that movie is a success, Premanand,
the superstar, will be washed out
Shut up!
First time you missed your target
and hit his friend
The excuse you gave me then,
was that, they were new guys
Then, l spent lakhs and did you
hire people to kill his father?
Last and final day tomorrow!
Watch how l, Premanand,
will play the game
We will teach them, sir
There you are,
Assistant Commissioner of Police
Come up
His shooting will not happen tomorrow
lt is my personal revenge too
l, Thomas Alex,
will not let that happen!
Come on!
This way!
Come
-Was it okay?
- Okay, sir
-Was it okay?
-Yes, it was
lt's getting cut
at the top near the panel
We can take care of that
while editing it
Shall we shift?
Where is everybody off to?
Move away!
How can you stop a police car?
What do you want?
No police can enter
this Five Star colony
There is no such law
This is the arrest warrant
for Antony, who lives here
Don't try to stop us
Why do want to arrest, Tarzan?
Don't stand there, answering them
Just hit them all!
So, you are back in town!
Do you have to be so enthusiastic?
The result of the last time you entered
here, is still evident on your face
-What is the problem, sir?
- Tell him what it is
lt is not a problem
Long back, the police were here once,
to arrest a guy, who was involved in a fight
They had attacked 5 to 8 policemen along
with sir, who was the Circle lnspectorthen
Since it was dark, we could not identify
the accused then
So, the case was postponed
to identify them later
One of the accused
has surrendered now
and has also told us the name of
another involved in it
Bring him out!
Walk!
lt was Tarzan Antony who had
hit me along with him that night
So, we are here
to take him with us
You, bastard!
Sir, it's just a matter of another 2 hours
for this movie to get over
This is the bread and butter
for a lot of families
This is life forthe producer who has sold
off everything for this movie
This, Tarzan Antony, is not a terrorist who
is a threat to our country, isn't it?
Both of us know what the issue is
So, do we have to
treat it like this?
Yes, we have to take him
to the court before
it is adjourned and remand him
at the sub jail today itself
He hit me then and has been
having fun for 5 to 6 years now
So, what do we do now?.
They are very adamant
and not willing to listen to us
Let us do something!
Don't send them in till the shoot is over
You have to keep waiting here
till this movie gets over
But, if you can't,
you will have to arrest
thousands of us, along with Antony,
from this colony
Does the Kerala Police,
have so many policemen today?
The Assistant Commissioner and the
other policemen have been stopped by
people from the colony
They are not willing to let him go
till the shoot gets over
The mud in my father's grave
has not dried yet
lt is not that l can't pull out the weapon
pierced below your heart
But, it is the word
that l had given him
l will come back
to take revenge
- Okay?
- Okay
-Was it okay, sir?
-You were excellent
- Satya, is everything over?
-Yes, sir
- ls there anything remaining?
- No, sir
- Can l say?
-Yes, of course!
Come on
You can take him now, sir
lt is not the military court in Taliban
that, you will hang him right away!
lt will either be the districtjail in
Kakkanadu or the sub-jail in Ernakulam
7 days of police custody and then
judicial custody after that
lt is the law
l have not lost my trust in the law
l will bring him out
before the release of my movie
You saw it for yourself
The whole of your police force could not
take Antony from his land
lt is our decency that, we are
handing him over to you
So, we expect the same decency in return
from you when he is in your custody
lf you hurt him, these people will
attack you and yourfamily
Do you want that?
Carry on, Antony
All the shows will have 100 of our fans to
hoot every time he comes on screen
They will hoot non-stop
Those theaters showing prints, will
not be provided with the prints
l have made arrangements
for that too
They tried a lot
to keep you from coming out
The producer had to even
go to court to release the movie
But, Adityan sir was
very adamant that...
he will release the movie
only after you have come out
lt is time for the first show
Come on
Sir, you asked me to be patient
l came back to shoot
as soon as my father was buried
They did not leave me alone
They got me arrested
l went to jail
l kept waiting
for the day l come out
Our movie is releasing today
Tell me sir, should l still wait?
No, you can go
Go, finish off
all your accounts...
...and come back as a new Antony
with a lighter heart
We will be waiting foryou
at the theatre
Brother, Hakim, where are they?
At the hotel at Ruis centre
His father, the home minister,
has bought it last month
That is his new hide-out now
l will not kill you
Death, will be an escapism for you
You should be there to see me living the
kind of life that, you had desired to live
You should die
seeing that, every day
There he is, ourAntony!
The movie was superb
lt was excellent!
Gowri, it would
have been a problem
if you wanted to be with a guy,
who was just a fighter
Today, yourfriend
is a hero, accepted by all
So, you can be his friend, or romance
or even get married to him
Nobody, will have a problem with it
Master, it is just one Friday that
decides everything about a movie
Today, is his Friday
