This is a short film which I had directed as part of my college project. It is quite a juvenile attempt as this was the first time I filmed something. So all the flaws of a first timer is there in this. It doesnt boast of a very original screenplay as well. Most of the scenes are inspired by comic scenes which I have loved over all these years of movie watching. I made it that way and I've tried to bring about my love for movies through that. It is made in Tamil and is about a terrible actor called Shakthi, who cannot act for nuts, but still aspires to be a superstar. How he goes about towards his goal and finally, where he ends up forms the thread of this short film which lasts 12 minutes. The cast and crew are all my classmates from Loyola College. This was screened at a small function hosted by Loyola College at the Russian Cultural Centre, Chennai which was attended by people like director KS Ravikumar, etc. It was received quite well by the audience there. Hope you people like it.
