A dream came true




So finally my dream came true - my dream project is ready to be released. I swear when I saw the full video I almost cried out of joy. It's like I was right on top of the whole world or maybe even the universe. That was how happy I felt. I mean my feelings may seem highly exaggerated but trust me, I'm not joking.

I had a small dream. A dream where I wanted to do an acoustic version of an emotional song with the best vocalist I've ever known and with a musical score coming from the best and upcoming musician I've ever known and I wanted to complete it with the best cinematographer I've ever known and somehow, with God's grace, everything materialised so well. A myriad of hiccups came along the way but I know we somehow braved the roughest of seasons and we somehow got the pieces together. So technically my dream was at the "foetus" stage. So bit by bit my dream developed through the hardwork of the respectable individuals and right now its at a fully-developed level and I swear I really cannot express the joy when I saw the whole video. It's like seeing my dream on a bigger scale. So when my name appeared as shown above, I don't know ... I just felt like screaming "I FUCKING DID IT" ! I mean it might be a minute shit for many but it's my dream - a dream I had for a very very long time. I means the world to me. It really does. I mean initially I didn't have any noble intentions to do the video but later on I was enlightened on the probable purpose of the video and my intentions became noble. 

I know that some haters out there are waiting for the release to slam/diss me and I know that a certain character thinks that I am out to diss him in this video but well, thanks for the pain you gave me because it eventually inspired me to do this video. So thank you. Maybe I should credit you for it, eh ?. Hahaha, nevermind... my telepathic connection would send that signal across to you and I bet you would know it sooner or later. 

So #PONEEPO is slated for a release in 2 week's time - 25th October 2013. Actually I wanted to release it in Nov but Vik has another project which is slated for a November release and so mine has to be in October and I can't even release it on 1st Nov since the eve of Deepavali is on 2nd and people would be too busy with the festive occasion and the video wouldn't garner the targeted viewer count. So let's see. We need to release a teaser this week. Actually as I type this, I am reviewing multiple versions of the 2nd teaser :P


So maybe at this juncture I should really confess how scared I am about the release of the video itself. Well it may sound absurd but I swear, I am literally paralysed with fear. I mean, the vocalist, the musician and the cinematographer were out of the world and I really really really hope I did a good job. I mean when I watched the video I myself felt that maybe I could have done better at a few scenes but those who had watched it praised my performance .... I don't know but I am so so so so so scared. I really hope I don't disappoint people - especially those who had worked so hard for this video. I really hope I did justice for the stellar quality of the vocalist, musician and the cinematographer. Maybe I would just disappear after the release of #PONEEPO and seek some solitude in order to escape from all those calamity from around. I don't know but I am so fucking scared. I can't believe this man - I've always trusted my own calibre, my own talent, my own ability but for the first time, I swear I can literally jump out of my skin. I am that scared. I think its because of the expectations from around. Oh God, I really hope I did justice to the video. God, please be with me and if possible, gimme a BEAR HUG. I need it to calm my nerves.


Oh, I should really thank Solo for being such a sweetheart. I mean its definitely not easy to do a romantic scene especially when you're not close to your co-star. I mean Solo is a good friend of mine but obviously I am not close to him. I mean there are only some guy friends who I hug freely and all and Solo definitely isn't one of them. So it was really so awkward at times and I was really shy during the shoot but Solo was a real gentleman and he really made it seem so easy. I mean the first day of the shoot itself I told him that we had a hugging scene and although I scripted it, I swear I felt so shy to execute it. I mean I don't know if it would sound funny but we actually rehearsed the hugs many times before I got comfortable. HAHAHA. Thank you so much for everything, Solo. 

So Vik and I had a reflective session after the full video and we spoke alot and exchanged a few apologies and our thoughts and Vik was telling me how my dream had inspired him to work hard on this project and how he really liked the way the video had turned out and then suddenly he used my avatar and did a bitstripe comic series. I swear it made me ROFL. Hahaha because I really gave him alot of problems. I mean I am a perfectionist and I don't easily approve things and I know I set high expectations on alot of things and I believe in incorporating alot of different ideas and I know Vik really had a hard time. Thank you so so so much brother. I should really show my appreciation to you in a way my heart tells me to (I have a plan :P ) !





So earlier into the day I received an offer to do a guest dance for a music video by Psychomantra, Mr5K and NeshMan. Well these guys are some famous rappers in Malaysia and I'm acquainted with them because of my projects with our Thanesh bro and Vik. So our Psychomantra already did some collaborations in some Tamil Movies in India and is quite popular in India as well. So it would be awesome to work with them but the shittiest shit is, the entire shooting will take place in Malaysia - JB primarily and the timing isn't as favourable to me.



Seriously, I really admire those Malaysian talents. I don't know how but somehow they manage to break into the Tamil industry in India. Like Psychomantra and Rubba.Bend did the "Tamilachi Swag" and the next thing, both of them established some footing in the Tamil industry in India and Rubba.Bend sang a song in Ajith's "Arrambam" which would be released for Deepavali. Like even Karthik Shamalan and Suriya Magissan ! I am sure both of them are so going to break into the Tamil industry as well. Like I had to reject 3 projects with Karthik Shamalan because all his shoots were situated in KL and obviously I couldn't go there for the shoots due to school and work and all his projects gained a good reception ALL OVER MALAYSIA and very recently he did a movie (the exact movie he wanted me to do a lead role in sometime in January 2013) which was released in the Malaysian theatres and the best thing was, the screenings were completely full house and he received good compliments and he was interviewed in the Malaysian mainstream papers. Like I mean I am not talking about the missed opportunities per se but rather, on how I could have learned so much from him and used it for my own future projects. I really hate to reject projects because I like the fact that I can learn something from all these people and it just sucks to say "NO" because of your own commitments. Like I never had any clue about shortfilms, camera angles, lighting, characterization, editing and whole range of stuff. But my collaboration for KK helped me with it and my exposure to Vasantham gave me the idea for my own project - PONEEPO. So I really like to learn new stuff because I swear, "known is a drop, unknown is the ocean" and there is just too too too much fucking shit-ass things that we totally don't know about. So yes, I really hope I can work with Karthik someday.
