. I wish you gave a good set of advisors around u if you r investing in such a risky business. You might be capable of giving a real good movie.

thanks for the concern...when i relocated from singapore 2004, i invested in real estate & construction( part) anotherpart ( my wife started a play/after care in OMR ) then 3rd part in films...1st film uyir with my brother R.Balaji ( as i told he is Dir Shankar's cobrother & now looking after S pictures )...
so i have advisors around..after Uyir , balaji went back to S pictues..i continued with constructions..all were going smooth...
My experience with Sami forced me to think on directing ...
"pettaRasu" is an experimnet in a HD camera with less than 50 lakhs ( normal celluloid movies will take 2 C to produce excluding artist salary )..thought even for teh experiment i can recoup this 50L ( thru satelite channels, overseas, local exploitation ) & ya..no regrets..
now, learnt howto do the best in HD ( more lighting, location, atmosphere, costumese ) & hence "pacha Pulla" for budger of 1.1 C.. this time not infront of camera as this is not exp but commercial...
3 hits in 3 years...its just a set point & i know its not possible..as you said, let us do this well , if it is really good, it will be received well... thats wat i am trying..in fact, i am going toi share with you all from day 1 of te story line development & freezing...

why did you do pettarasu when u knew it would'nt click (as u have said above) ?

From: saravana99 on 22nd March 2009 06:14 PM [Full View]
again secret!!!..teh 50 lakhs I spent can be recouped by overseas rights ( they buy any movie fo DVD ), Satelite channel tights ( any movie tehy pay a minimum ) and the minimum collection in B.O during 1st weekend ...( there is a formula here )..x+y+z.will be your revenue.. i knew that pettaRasu kind of movies will recoup max to lakhs & that is what I should spend in making & hence I did PetaRasu...
we can spend for publicity more and more if that has a chance of increasing x or y or z... but in PettRasu's case i knew teh answer...
Inorder to experiment, learn and also recoup the investemnt, teh only way is "Pettarasu" style...
well. Now, "pachapulla" that will also collect min 50 lakhs ( how much ever is ur cost )..but i am throwing 60 lakhs more ( total budget 110 lacs ) for publicity & better quality production.. this 60 lacs is at stakes but the chances of hit also increases as we improve quality of audio-visual, improve teh content's merrit and increase publicity...
How can you do all tehse improvements? only with "pettaRasu" experience... sory for teh lecture but ya thats the fact...
"Nee Sorvadium idaththirku arugildhan un vetri irukkiradhu" simply means never giveup...javascript:emoticon('')

with pleasure..ya..not a bad story for the experiment....if this story hs to brought to the screen, imagine the money needed...but i had to do in a budget less than 50 L... if you shoot in film , min you need 2 C...happy reading
A Chennai slum and temple-- grandmother (who missed her younger son ‘rasu” for 20 years)lives with her grand daughter/ flower seller Thamarai- struggles life to get Thamarai ( who wants to marry an educated man ) married- next door Comedian spending his odd job earnings on drinks and borrowing money from neighbourhood ( seith, nair, Gurukkal, boi, etc )on the promise that he will go to foreign, earn and return all money, making comedy all the way---
Villain having factories with child labour also foreign labour supply agent---calls comedian asks 2 lakhs to send to foreign with a promise of high pay---comedian borrows from community pays villain goes to foreign but cheated by villain’s counterpart in foreign asking to work for lowest pay, comedian fights ends up in foreign prison on 3 months jail term…
Comedian drops letterfrom foreign to grandmother and Thamarai and all other charecters in slum that he returns to india as he found “rasu” son of grandmother and promising to return all the borrowings along with Rasu by working hard…Comedian & rasu return and as they arrive in Airport, Villain gang chases Rasu to kill..teh audience wonder why?—a fight and Rasu wins and could have done great damage but Comedian controls Rasu , pacifies and brings to slum as a hide out…Villain group searches Rasu in his original suburb and all over Chennai to finish him..but audience wonder why?
In the slum, the grandmother is happy as Rasu returns and the comedy, centiment, etc etc starts....Thamarai starts falling in love with Rasu who has a different mission…except the comedian, everyone ( including audience ) thinks that Rasu is real…but Rasu in the day time behaves as Rasu but in the nights escapes the slum with adventurous fights and with a mission of fighting the villain for a great noble cause…comedian always reminds Rasu not to take revenge because if the revenge is taken and rasu goes to jail, a great mission for the slum people of might not be accomplished…Rasu is in turbulence…
Thamarai’s love grows for Rasu ..song…Local Ghana songs etc.,..suddenly 4 boys come to the slum from different place for asylum…as all the slum people are against it, Rasu supports them and make them to stay with him.. No one knows except Comdian that the 4 boys are helping Rasu to accomplish his mission..however, comedian still advises Rasu & boys not to revenge ..so everytime, the Rasu team goes out for fight, t Rasu buys drinks and gives his share also to comedian to make him down..and then goes out..
The villain gang smells the hide out of Rasu and try to destroy the entire slum but a big fight ..now every one knows Rasu is not rasu…Flash back…
Rasu is not Rasu ..his name is “Arvind” a computer Engineer hailing from the slums of other town…when arvind was young ,his father and the other slum people work for a mill…very hard work but low pay…arvind’s father notices in the mill that well computer educated youth sitting in A/C earning 10 times their wages..he tells his fellow workers and ask them to make their children to study computer..the fellow workers thinks that computers will cause their jobs to loose and accuses arvind’s father of supporting factory owner..and in quarrel they kill arvind’s father…during death arvind’s father still promises that arvind will become computer engineer and guide all the slum children for a great future and dies… Factory owner helps arvind’s mother with some gratuity , a big land and house and helps Arvind to study..arvind becomes computer engineer…he says his mother tthat he wants to full fill father’s promise…
He gathers slum children to teach them computer and guides them…Villain looses child labours & hence wants to threat Arvind to stop…He threatens the parents of children..so the children & parents afraid… arvind seeks the help of advocate who advises arvind to build a high facility computer institute with govt approval so that Villain may not interfear..but building cost is 1 crore & to ean that arvind has to go to foreign and work for 2 years ..with earned money he can start the institiute…But villain knows arvind’s plans..he pretends as friend and sends arvind to foreign promising 2 lakh salary per month…but traps him in foreign prison…also when arvind is in foreign, Villain gets the land documents ( as the Hyderabad property appreciated into crores )from mother and kills her…the 4 boys who came to slum are arvind’s students , they convey the message to foreign and also the news that Villain will kill Arvind once he lands india… In the prison, comedian hears the story, understands the real good wish of aravind and gives the idea and asks aravind to pretend as ‘rasu” to escape villain’s eyes until the good mission is completed…
After flash back, still thamarai loves aravind ( now she knows he is educated too ), finally a climax fight and the villain is about to be killed by hero after a huge fight finally Rasu is about to kill the villain but the 4 boys kill Villain …paving way for Rasu to complete his mission ……….

As someone pointed out earlier, marketing a movie is one of the key factors. Ungulukku theriyadhadhu illa. outside Hub, not many people know what 'Pettarasu' is but how do we know about it? Thats because some of our hubbers spotted your ad in a magazine, found it funny and shared it with us. i.e in the case of PettaRasu, it is the unintentionally funny advts(negative marketing) which have brought it to our attention.

By better i dont mean spending more for marketing. Oru padathoda poster vechche adhu yeppidi irukkumnu makkal decide pannidaranga. Just compare 'Pettarasu's posters/stills and that of another small/medium budget movie Subramaniyapuram.

you are right!! I had no choice, it should be a normal story for my experiment coz, number 1, only this story can be made within budget & my major revenue is from TV rights. they will prefer a story like this ...Since i knew my Kadhai is sumar but I needed to publicize, i resorted to pessimistic approach..
For a better poster, you need to design more spending time & callling a preofessional designer ( here i did on photoshop )...that will add Rs1 lakh min & that was not worth..
ofcourse, pachapulla will be of high professional standards by all means...coz I am ready to take up the gauntlets...
BTW, poster a paathu uodum-ggaradhu summa...Villu poster was great & so Padikkadhavan, ..they were better than Subramaniapuram...or SMS...but sms did well...right?
The key quesion for a producer/director is how much money I am going to spend? how much will be teh possible revenue or fame?
but the key question for a director sailing on a fat producer, teh 1st question will not come into picture... also how much revenue will vanish... his main aim will be how to make the public to to rcognize him by giving new things are whatever ? how to give great publicity & run the movie for 100 days SO THAT his future is secured...in the process, they will not care spending the producer's bucks!! and poor producer will have no choice...
there is a big secret and politics behind every poster...i didnt know thises before i entered..
If the censor certificcate carries budget & duration for each film, probably that will help people like me to register in the minds of audience..however, the revenue is only for a over all good movie which I agree with you...

By better i dont mean spending more for marketing. Oru padathoda poster vechche adhu yeppidi irukkumnu makkal decide pannidaranga. Just compare 'Pettarasu's posters/stills and that of another small/medium budget movie Subramaniyapuram.[/quote]

Mr. Saravanan, if you are who you are, all the best in your future projects.
Some questions and thoughts.
Why are you calling this experiment? And at the same time using a "sumar" script and still wanting to make revenue?
If its a small film, shot in budget, it is best that it appeals to critics and the critics in audience. It's okay to be pretentious or a bit artsy, critics would love that. Word of mouth will help the film run. Film festival-ellam veera irukku.
I'm not even sure why I am responding to this, but, again if you are who you are, I am pleasantly surprised at the way you are taking the jokes and wanting to share your further adventrues. Well, again, all the best.
One thing: Big budget or small budget. Story must be fresh, new & interesting. Illana...

Whatever may be the reason, it is good you have responded...it will only make you Wiser and even if not definitely not any negative effect....
I never wanted a revenue more than what i spent..i was planning for beark even..and is it possible ..you will know only if you
Experiment?ya.. after uyir, my brother went back to his business and i was doing constructions & Real estate ( i am still doing it which is my bread & butter )... no idea to risk money 2-3 C coz i know it is not worth for a new producer...when digital film making spear headed( silandhi), thought of tying it as Fowzia (silandi's cinematographer who was uyir's as well ) told me its cheaper relatively?
how much cheaper? max is 50 lakhs? and it is recoupable..yes..so will it possible to produce within 50 Lakhs even if it is digital? no clue..but let us experiment it..i had to be te protagonist, heroine from a local are (as demanded by the character ), support cast all locally ( all are low paid ), editing ( myself ) lyrics ( myself ) muzic ( myself ) location sinlge , costmume average, atmosphere minimum, publicity minimum..and then only i can finish within 50...
& more inportantly, i use to shutle between singapore & chennai for otehr businesses..so I had only 5 months ( sep 08 to Feb 09 )..so developed a simple story to suit me as hero, started...
Remember, teh only objective is to finish within 50 L & release too..ONLY then i can recoup ..after learning digital film making w/o loosing money, I should go to teh next step with more risk & challenge...
hope this explains...

Hi Hatori.
ya..the budget is 1.1 C cpz itis HD..ofcourse new faces hero& heroine..suppport artist known gfaces...i have to give quality,quantity, good content within this 1.1...if i have to engage a successful hero , the lowest will be 70 L a few ) up to 4 C ( vijay )...for a production budget of 1.1C , paying 70 lakhs is no t a good idea and also the frontline heroes will not accept HD
if i produce in celluloid, the same will need 3 C..Plus hero's cost.. may be worrh in this case but i wont risk...
My whole plan is I gained knowledge , i am going to apply the same for a risk of what i can maximum afford...in fact if there are people to share this risk, i welcome...and even if a new hero wants to share teh risk and play hero role, i would welcome it even though it is not a must...
BTW, now a days this is what happening in big films with hew heroes..they pay and act...beleive me...

Mr Saravana, after reading your posts I understand there are so many issues involved (both $$ and tech wise)
Thanks for taking your time to explain to us all these details

no problem...yes.cinema is glamour if you dont put your money...again to enjoy teh glamour and limelight, one should have given a hit ( acting or directing or producing or editing or camera or chorography or whatever )....if you invest, its a complicated business BUT the risk to reward ratio of course is high...and it is not for safe players..
In my opinion, taking a job itself is a risk and probably the lowest risk where you are investing your education and experience for a minimum guarantee of salary until one gets a pink slip... one is risking thequal& exp for a hiher pay sometimes where there is a higher chances of pinkslips....
businessis teh next step and cinema business ins the ultimate..gambling against human taste of one's creativity...so..let me know if you want to invest..ha..ha..ha...
