Chapter 20: The Producer Wants to Replace Arjun with Venkatesh
As the Director kept on trying to convince me to act without Arjun, for almost an hour, since I love Arjun, and also know how important this movie is to Arjun’s life, I did not want Arjun to be dropped from the movie. “Meera, Arjun has told us that you both are in love with each other and going to get married, but this is a Profession, which is different from relationship,” as the Director said, for a moment I wanted to that I will not act without Arjun, but I kept quiet, so that I don’t ruin my chances of becoming a Heroine. “Meera, you are a Heroine, you will be acting with many Actors like Surya, Ajith, Vijay, Dhanush, Simbu, and even with Super Star Rajinikanth,” as the director began saying, I began dreaming about acting with all those top Heroes and becoming famous. “You should be ready to act with any Hero, Meera, because you are a Heroine,” as the director was saying, his words began to make sense to me, because as a Heroine I cannot be acting with only Arjun.
“Look at Jothika, even before she married Suriya, she was in love with him and while she was in love with Suriya she was acting with many Heroes and was giving Hits after Hits,” as the Director began saying, I was slowly getting convinced. “I will convince Arjun, don’t worry about him, I will cast him in the next movie.
“Sir, without Arjun, I am not going to act in this movie,” I told him boldly, which shocked him. “Meera, are you trying to avoid acting with me?” as the TV Actor asked, “nothing like that, Venkatesh. Arjun and I want to act together in our First movie. We have been dreaming about this all these days, and Arjun comes to know that he is going to be replaced by you, he will be heartbroken, and I don’t want that to happen. Please try to understand,” I almost said in a begging tone.
The Director, who has been Captain Cool all this while, started losing his temper, “then I am left with no other choice but to replace you with some other heroine,” he said angrily but apologised immediately, “ “let me have a smoke and come back,” he said and went outside. “Meera, this is Dream not just to you and Arjun, it's a dream to become a big Screen actor is a Dream for me too. Through the Producer Sir, who has been seeing me since Childhood, I have got this Golden Opportunity to act on the Big Screen as Hero, and I don’t want to miss it,” the TV Actor said. As I did not know what to say, “Meera, the problem now is, the Producer Sir likes your looks and wants to keep you in the Movie but wants to replace Arjun with me; the director sir wants to replace you with some other Heroine if you do not act with me; and you only want to act with Arjun. The Producer Sir and Director Sir are keen on replacing Arjun with me, and if they do that, you won’t act with me, right?” as he asked, “Yeah,” I said. “Meera, I cannot sacrifice this Golden Opportunity for you or Arjun, at the same time I also realise how important this Opportunity is for you and Arjun to become Stars,” he said and began taking a walk and began thinking.
As I went out, Arjun was standing next to my bike, with no one around, and when I told Arjun that they were going to replace him with Venkatesh, Arjun, as expected, began to feel heart broken and almost began crying. “It's okay, Meera, you are going to act as Heroine, right? That’s enough for me,” as Arjun said in an emotional tone, “Arjun, if you are not acting as the Hero, I am not going to act, I told Director Sir directly,” I said. “Meera, you are crazy, don’t do that, at least one of us are going to become Stars, that’s enough for me,” as Arjun said in an emotional tone, “when I said that I can’t act with anyone other than me, the Director Sir, said that he will replace me with another Heroine,” I said. “Meera, come with me, I will talk to the Director,” as Arjun said and tried to literally pull me inside the Restaurant, Venkatesh came outside and joined us. The moment Arjun saw Venkatesh, “Venkatesh, where is Director Sir, I have to tell him that Meera is ready to act as your Heroine,” as the emotional Arjun exclaimed, “no Arjun, no,” as I exclaimed, “guys, I have an idea, and if we convince Producer Sir and Director Sir, we three of us can act, and no one will be replaced by anyone,” Venkatesh said.
