3 Finding Investors

So here I was, in front of Maruti Production. I had to convince them to produce my film. I would be the writer, screenwriter and the director.

But the thing was, how to convince them.

The estimated budget of the film in my previous life was around 15 crores. But the film earned around 50 crores in the box office, and it marked the start of a franchise.

"Mr. Suman would like to meet you now. " The receptionist said.

I got up from my seat and entered his office.

"Welcome Mr. Chouhan. I read the script you submitted earlier, and I am impressed." Suman Singh was a man in his 40s.Balding hair, protruding belly and a half shaved beard.

"It's a pleasure Mr. Singh. " I thanked him as I took my seat in front of him. "I am willing to be the producer of the film. But I have a condition. "

Here comes the bad part.

"I don't want a new director. I want my own." He said as he looked at me in the eye as if daring me to say anything else. I already knew that I couldn't have a say in matters like this as long as I was not established enough. I would have to bid for time.

"I can accept your condition but I still want to be a part of the film." I laid out my conditions on the floor.

"Well after seeing your script I know you are talented so I can allow you to be one of the assistant directors. We can meet at a further date to discuss further details. " Mr. Singh said as I got up to leave the office.

This meeting was atleast a success in finding money for my film. But I still regreted that I can't direct my film.

But that day will soon come.
