✨tum Ko....Paa Hi Liya!✨

chapter 6.

"i really like your story and to be honest this story is quite novice " vardhan mehta the veteran director, now turned producer said as sidharth finished the narration.

"thank you Mr. Mehta.... It feels really good to know that a person like you is appreciating my work. Otherwise all the producers that i have met before, they actually gave me a hard time dealing with their pea size brain" he expressed his emotions enthusiastically, this has happened after ages that somebody actually appreciated his work without insinuating any illicit changes to the storyline for their own benefit.

"but ek problem hai"he rubbed his hands together before flipping on the pages of the script in slight malcontent.

"what? " both sidharth and vikrant looked at each other in distress.

"the budget " he pronounced

"matlab? Whats with the budget? I think its quite ok. There is nothong extravagant that the story demands. " he stated looking at the script himself in case of any doubt.

"unhmm... The music! Music seems a very prominent part of this story snd for that we need to hire a very adept music composure, a lyricist n most importantly a very soulful male n female voice. I don't think we can go with any random low budget singer from the industry,..... Tum samajhre ho na! I mean to hire a good and famous singer...it will definitely hinder the budget of the movie" he illustrated the fact to him.

"I will see all that sir. You don't worry about that. We will definitely quest for a good and promising singer. And not gonna compromise with the quality in any manner ."he said with assurance.

"ok! I don't mind, thats all upto you.... But please make sure that the budget does not go out of control. I can't invest much money on this film. Hope u got my point. "he got off from his seat and put his glasses in his pockets ,as a gesture to leave.

"yaah! Yaah! Of course I'll take care of that. "sidharth replied.

"sidharth yaar..... Ye Sugandha ghoshal is asking freaking 15 lacs per song! N rest of the lot are also asking almost the same amount." vikrant informed sidharth over the phone.

"what! Have they gone insane? Ek offbeat art movie ke liye itta bada amount kon demant krta hai! Wtf.... Didn't u tell them that its my film? " sidharth barked over the phone, pacing around his office like a madman.

"yes of course bhai... But phli baat to vo art movie me interested ni h shayad isli... " vikrant didn't even completed and sid hung up in fury and annoyance.

" relax bro..... Thoda shant hoja, ye le have it" rohan who was present there with sidharth in his office, passed him the drink.

"fuck this shanti bro.... Ye kabhi ni milti" he blabbered gulping down the drink in one go.

"mil jayegi vo bhi.... N fir teri life me sab theek hoga... "he patted his back.

"ghanta sab theek hoga! there is always some kind of trouble or menace. I never get my work done easily. " he prattled with irritation.

"dont worry yaaa... There must be definitely some other way .koi aur acha singar mil jayega. This world is not running short of good and talented singer. U have to be a little optimistic bro "
Rohan rubbed him on the back, to provide him with the much needed consolation and encouragement.

"huh! Optimism my foot! " he jumped off his seat.

" sidharth yaar bass kr ab... Chal acha ye bta ghar pe sab kse h? Shalini, adi, uncle? Ghar kb bula ra h tu? "

"come whenever u feel like ,ya fir ghar ke malikon se puchh.... Your dearest shalini bhabhi and uncle.! Hmmm" his voice dripping with sarcasm.

" u r such an asshole! Never miss out on ridiculing things for no reasons"
