Rebirth of India: Superior

Shakru originally believed Rajkumar's one-sided words and thought that Mira Nair would be a beautiful director. However, she was disappointed after meeting her. In terms of appearance, she was a standard middle-aged Indian woman. Mira Nair was born in 1957. She is nearly forty years old at this time. No matter her skin color or appearance, she is no different from the women commonly seen on the streets of New Delhi. However, her makeup and temperament can still make people distinguish her from other women at a glance. different.

Seeing Shakru's arrival, Mira Nair took the initiative to say hello: "Hello, Mr. Pandit, I am Mira Nair. Nice to meet you."

"It's my honor to meet a great director like you. Especially today, I arrived late. It's really rude to ask you to wait for me." Shakru said politely.

"This is a normal thing for directors and other investors. And I really admire you. Only people who have also come from India know how difficult it is to promote Indian films to the world. You have invested in them before. All four of his films have done well at the box office in the United States, which is a miracle in my opinion," Mira Nair praised very sincerely.

"You are looking up to me too much. I have made four movies and haven't won any awards, but your first movie was nominated for an Oscar. And I am the boss after all, so I can do whatever I want when it comes to shooting. It’s truly remarkable that you have so many more constraints than I do and that you can achieve this.”

Mira Nair shook his head and said: "Just because you are the boss of investment, you must consider the box office and income. After all, no boss is willing to do a loss-making business, and we as directors can completely Don’t worry about these and concentrate on shooting the subjects you like. However, the box office of such films is often not too high, so it is not easy for you to strike a balance between box office and artistry.”

Shakru smiled and said: "Okay, let's not flatter each other. I heard Rajkumar say before that you are very interested in the subject of Kama Sutra."

Mira Nair nodded and said: "Yes, I actually had this idea a long time ago, but I didn't have a specific writing idea. During this meeting, I accidentally heard Mr. Rajkumar talking about your script idea, I immediately felt the urge to shoot it myself, but I have a question I would like to ask you, what style of movie do you want to make this movie into? Do you really want to make a movie?"

"How is that possible? Although I have to consider the box office when making a movie, I don't only consider the box office. And if it is really made into a movie, then I estimate that the box office will not necessarily be high. After all, few people can surpass it in this aspect. Japanese counterparts. So my idea is to use the plot to attract people. At the same time, I hope to maintain my long-standing idea of ​​transforming Indian movies, which is full of Indian style on the surface, but in fact. But it has to cater to the appreciation needs of mainstream Western audiences," Shakru replied slowly.

Mira Nair breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "It would be great if you think so. I was really worried that you would make this movie as the world's first."

"But even if you don't shoot like this, the scenes in this movie are absolutely indispensable. How to shoot it in a way that is both tempting and hits the mark is a very difficult thing, and actors are not easy to find, at least. You can't find suitable actresses in India," Shakru said worriedly.

"It's true. As far as I know, kissing scenes in India require glass partitions. It seems that the scene in your movie "Win the Heart" was already the most daring. But don't worry, you can leave this aspect to me. I know a lot of Indian actors who are working in Hollywood, and this kind of scenario should not be a problem for them. And there is a problem with the scale, haha, you have to believe that women are the ones who know how to tease men best." Mira Nair. Said with great confidence.

Although Shakru believed that Mira Nair was not fooling him, he always felt that if the last words were spoken by a beautiful woman, such as Aishwarya, then he would definitely not be able to control himself, but Aunt Mira in front of him said this , but I always feel weird in my heart. However, he still thanked him: "Well, I'll leave it to you to find the actors. Don't worry, the salary here will definitely not be lower than in Hollywood, but in the end I have to take care of it."

"Well, that's for sure. But I have some ideas of my own. I want to emphasize the theme of this film in terms of feminist thinking. Is this okay?" Mira Nair asked tentatively.

"Of course. In fact, I have this intention. You don't need to watch anything else. Just watch my movie "Win the Heart" and you should be able to find that I like this kind of theme." Shakru replied simply.

"Then I wish us a happy cooperation," Mira Nair proposed with a toast.

"It's a pleasure to work with you, but I would rather you sign up for our company."

Mira Nair hesitated for a moment, and then said with some embarrassment: "I am used to freedom, and I can't stand restraints, so I'm sorry."

"It doesn't matter. Then try to cooperate more times in the future. It will be the same."

"That's no problem. As long as there is a suitable script, you don't want me to film it."

Although Mira Nair rejected Shakru's solicitation, she still spared no effort in the cooperation of this love sutra. Soon she helped Shakru find the female lead of this play. This girl is called Indira Varma, an Indian girl born in Bath, England. Her father is Indian and her mother is Swiss with Italian descent. She has a beautiful medieval exotic face. It may be due to her personality or because she grew up in England. Although her appearance is very Indian, her temperament is very fashionable and outgoing.

When they just met, Shakru felt that the girl looked very familiar, but thinking that she was just 18 years old and had only played a small role that was unknown, he must not know her in this world. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly realized that it was her. No wonder she was so familiar. She was in the popular TV series Rome and Game of Thrones in the previous life.

PS: You can guess who this person is. Anyway, I have a deep impression of her in Game of Thrones. To be continued.
