From a COMMENT to a SCRIPT

I really wonder sometimes how things take shape. Here is an example of one such thing. One day my friend Suresh has commented on one of my pic in facebook saying "Once Upon A Time In Fairfax". This one line was so common line for any one who is reading this but it si mply blew my mind since i have never given a thought towards such a comment or rather a Caption. The reason for my friend to comment was that i was resembling Ajay Devgan in that pic not becoz of features but i had a typcal moustache of Ajay Devgan in Once upon a Time In Mumbai.

Now, this simple comment, which had a serious impact on me started taking its shape, in my Mind. Due my deep affection towards film making i was already i a thought of making a Short Film with Inception Spoof in my mind becoz no other concept struck my mind. Then after Suresh's title, i started developing a different story in my mind for me to direct it as a shortfilm. The story which i imagined intially was very simple and straight forward. And the reason for the story was as a Two year resident of Fairfax, i have seen many incidents around me and we had a lots of fun too. So for that affection somehow this comment got asociated with it creating some really good story inside my mind. I immediatly conveyed my houghts to everyone whom i wanted to involve. Initially they story went forward as a fast cut action comedy (Ref. Crank). Then it became a pure comedy involving most of my friends to act in it. But once i saw Raktha Charitra, it became damn serious subject and the thought of involving everyone was still sticking onto it.

Then i discussed with my friends the story the screenplay and also conceived each scene in my mind. So finally after one month of a serious thought and affection, the single lined comment turned out into a Perfect Script, titled Once Upon a Time in Fairfax.
