In a fitting climax to the tale that started on 21st Jul, Prince, the boy who got stuck in a tubewell while playing with friends, and thereby got the nation’s audience to get stuck on to the picture tube with timely assistance from various news channels, has been signed on by the famed Bollywood director Ram Gopal Varma.
Prince, who is thrilled about his meteoric rise in popularity after his relatively smaller fall, has already received grants from the state and central governments of Rs. 2 lakh each. In addition, a couple of news channels have also promised him a sum of Rs. 7 lakhs.
In an exclusive interview, Prince has expressed his happiness at being signed on by RGV, ” I am extremely thrilled at this opportunity. After the incident, everything in my life is suddenly falling into place. I had immense faith in God and the media, and i always knew that there would be a lightat the end of the tunnel. I cant talk about the film details as Ramuji has asked me not to, but i am undergoing a fitness programme to get back into shape. You see, i was fed a lot of milk, chocolate,biscuits etc during my ordeal, and over two days, i had become a bit too fat. In fact that was what had made the rescue a bit difficult.”
When asked if he was concerned about the fact that RGV dropped his actors after hyping them, he had this to say, “He does so only if they dont fall into line with his thinking. But that wont be a problem for me since i have proven my falling skills.”
RGV, who makes no bones of his obsession for Mumbai’s underworld and its characters, has confirmed the news, and was more forthcoming in an interview. “Yes, its true that i have signed on Prince. I am planning to make a prequel to my film “D”, which was a prequel to my earlier film “Company. I will be tracing the making of a criminal from his childhood days. Because of Prince’s close brush with the underworld at such a tender age, i feel he is ably suited to play the character. In fact, i have boiled down to a couple names for the film – Three’s Company (since this is the third episode), or e (C for company, then D, and so… also i might be releasing it only on the internet. I am already in talks with You Tube for that.). I have also got the rights from the English rockband Dire straits for their song ‘Tunnel of Love’, ‘How Deep is your love’ by Take That, ‘Falling into You’ by Celine Dion and ‘Deeper Underground’ by Jamiroquai, which will all be used in the film. Talks are also on with Deep Purple and Deep Blue something for more songs. Shooting will start any time now.”
News has just arrived that RGV already has signed Prince for the remake, as he expects the original to get panned by the critics.
until next time, Prince, how charming…

Now off to search for a pit big enough for me
Just called a press conference
* plotting my next move *
🙂
ah my gad….the ways in which people fly to fame!!!!
hyde: of course, heartbroken that i forgot 🙂
satchit: hmmm, i was consciously trying not to make it a whodunnit type… mould breaking, so to speak.. the journey being more important than the end and all that 🙂
sandy: be innovative, or no chance at all.. some lady did the same stuff in bengal and got an article in one paper..
PI: all the best 🙂
I didnt get it..:( perhaps its too early in the morning for me…
manuscrypts, I meant “gave the story away” from “the pyaaz” perspective. 🙂 But then as you mentioned – the journey is more important, which is true. 🙂
hmm..after Rakhi Sawant’s interview, this one come up little early, so was kinda predictable!!!
Nicely written 🙂
grafxgurl: yup, but i do hope you read the disclaimer..
sqrlnt: good morning to you too 🙂
satchit: suspense thrillers are hard to maintain.. i am trying to make the concept (basic storyline) to be the ‘watchout’ thing..
stone: like i was saying, no suspense, actually am working towards making the headline as the main story 😉
I am jumping inside one of those potholes in Bangalore. If I have the right media coverage, I am sure I can be lucky.
LOL@Arunima … arre don’t jump into a pothole … they will use an earthmover to get you out in no time! 🙂
ha ha ha this was real funny :))
arunima: not a chance, wont get covered 🙂
SwB: the way it works here, i wont be surprised if they sue for falling into it in the first place…
silverine: thank ye 🙂

Dude, well played prank….I thot it was real…untill u said it is gonna be released on Internet & then the Youtube deal…I started doubting the news.
Will a cup of Mocha do???
sreejith: hehe, that was a nice one too 🙂
vivek: would do just fine 🙂
hahah jokes apart.. he is one lucky bugger.. god bless his little soul !!
Have been visiting your blog for a few times now. Good stuff … and a nice, wacky touch of humour.
Especially likes this post about RGV & Prince 🙂 … the movie-title, the soundtrack being arranged for it … good plot, chief.
All that aside and all the media coverage that Prince got aside, like Pallavi mentioned, he sure is a lucky fella … god bless him. I would never want to be in the place where he was when this all started …. so “down (in)to earth”
