Rajni's next movie

I am so pissed off with Sivaji’s storyline that I decided to make my own script for his next movie. Just a sketch! Not a real script. I have selfish reasons also to do this. In the US, when they write a script, they complete it and send it by registered post to their own address to establish it was their idea. That way now I am safe. But when I say Rajni, it is just not him it could be Amitabh too. For me they both are superstars. The movie knot is about how Rajni saves the world from destruction. Here comes the basic script

• Opening Scene, a shuttle takes off from earth, title credits.
  
• Title over, and the shuttle docks with a space station and opens with Rajni’s leg shown first.
  
• Rajni bends and touches space ( don't ask how, you don't ask these questions in a Rajni film ) and takes his hands to his eyes, worshipping the Supreme power.
  
• Shot cut, and Rajni touches the earth at Sholavandan and opens his store, which is in front of his watch repair shop. And the opening song. ( Song about how Time is important & every second is critical rendered by SPB )
  
• He is a technician; an expert in precision repairs is established.
  
• His life at the village, with comedy scenes and do-good acts.
  
• We show Trisha, the heroine. She has her own flashbacks, cut within cuts. As a baby, she is supposed to be a victim of female infanticide and Rajni as a 10 year old, saves her life somehow.
  
• She has excelled in studies and gone further to IIT and then joined NASA.
  
• Back at her village on a holiday, she recalls her past and falls in love with Rajni.
  
• A dream sequence and song.
  
• Trisha goes back to US.
  
• Jump cut, crisis at NASA. The space station has issues in a specific problem that only best of the precision experts can solve.
  
• The top honchos at NASA try to zero in on the expert and realize that the best guy is Rajni.
  
• Interval
  
• NASA scientists arrive at Sholavandan to convince Rajni to take up the task.
  
• Rajni hesitates, but the space station is powered by nuclear fuel, so a failure of that and crash landing will annihilate the earth.
  
• Rajni’s mom coaxes him to take up the task.
  
• Rajni travels to US and a song about the new world.
  
• Rajni’s training sequence at NASA to resolve the issue in the space station.
  
• Rajni takes off from earth, flash back over.
  
• At docking, Rajni is into the job.
  
• But Trisha is an astronaut in that space station.
  
• Trisha falls in love all over again.
  
• A dream sequence song again in the space.
  
• When Rajni is yet to fix the issue, when he faces the enmity of another haughty astronaut who has his eyes on Trisha.
• A zero gravity fight sequence ( with a remix of the song 'Vaanam Keezhe, Bhoomi Mele" in the background ) and then as a race against time of how Rajni gets the space station back forms rest of the story.

Fun apart, I made this stuff up, just to expand our own thinking of how we can build a fantasy and not get restricted by our imagination. This has all elements what folks would want. A message on female infanticide, a simple guy saving the world on a one man crusade, mother sentiment, comedy, songs, fight and scope for Computer Graphics that seems to be the vogue these days.

It’s not tough making up a story, that even a guy like me can make that. It’s anyway a rehash of something. Arthur Koestler says there are only 36 story knots possible. This is a rehash of Armageddon, Space Cowboys and a typical Tamil movie. But still, if someone can make it in a credible manner, this could be a great movie. It could be titled ' Ulagam Suttrum Valiban', which is once again a recent trend. And who cares about what reaches whom ? If money laundering and black money getting green, white and whiter can reach B & C Centers with Rajni popularity, so can a space mishap. Maybe we name the heroine Sunita to keep it topical.

I am already counting my dollars. Afterall Sivaji made 100 crores easily. And hoping blogs reach directors like Mani Ratnam.
