I am yet to hear from SEEZAN on VAFAATHERI KEHIVERIYAA rewrite feedback. I am yet to receive INGILI set quotation from K. GULHI. In the meantime, I am getting ready to start my next writing gig. Yet, I am yet to watch the movie on which the screenplay will be loosely based upon.

I am hoping to watch that movie on coming weekend. After that, structuring starts. I have scheduled three to four days for that. Then, of course writing begins. Let’s say, that is my plan for my next project.

Still staying with my next project, I have come up with a working title. It’s called VADHAAU (GOODBYE). I know it sounds all corny and syrupy, but it’s just a working title for crying out loud. In a nutshell, the storyline is about goodbyes in different forms. So what better than a title that says goodbye? And I have a tagline too. It reads as follows.

Every story has an ending. Every ending has a story…

Too corny again? Okay, let’s change the topic then.

Here’s an update on INGILI and VAFAATHERI KEHIVERIYAA.

News from K. GULHI is that they have to ship wooden columns required for the set of INGILI from a nearby island. They will work out the rates and will send the exact quotation in a day or two. The crew there seem to be very enthusiastic.

As for the feedback on VAFAATHERI KEHIVERIYAA, SEEZAN called me yesterday apologizing for the delay. But he will give me the feedback before this week ends. It’s just that he is busy. As for the production of VAFAATHERI KEHIVERIYAA, it’s ongoing.

And oh, before I end this post, there’s one more news. HUSSAIN MUNAVVAR aka I LOVE YOU from KUDAFOOLHU fame, has approached me on writing a feature length screenplay for his KUDAFOOLHU character which was first introduced in a short film and two sequels that followed as short films, again. In short, KUDAFOOLHU character is personification of evil in a comic way, however.

I discussed with him on his take of the character, if a feature was made. He had several disjointed ideas which didn’t click me at all as a family oriented feature length. I will be dealing with this offer after I finish writing VADHAAU. However, I have a floating idea which I am not going to mention here since MUNAVVAR himself has started frequenting my blog. I don’t want him committing plagiarism, even though he is unaware of what that is. Just kidding! I just want to present him with my full structure so that he will not have any idea at all on what I am going to present.

That’s all for now!
