Sequel of 'Guru' in the offing?

Print
There seems to be no end to the internecine Ambani gas-war. With things heating up all sorts of nasty rumors are floating in the air. There are also talks of a sequel being planned of Mani Ratnam's 2007 hit 'Guru'. We rummaged the net hoping to find some information on the proposed sequel. To our pleasant surprise, we discovered a draft copy of the script written for the sequel.

Unlike the original movie which was drama allegedly based on the life and times of Polyester Prince Dhirubhai Ambani, the script of Guru-II appears to be an out-and-out comedy mirroring the comic battles of the two Ambani brothers presently embroiled in a wind-breaking conflict of gassive proportions. Here's a sneak preview of the movie script, which may never get made considering the  power and hold of Ambanis and their previous record of suppressing uncomforable truths about them.

guruputrasThe rollicking script tentatively titled "Guruputras: The sons of Guru" written by an anonymous writer starts with the scene of Gurubhai Desai lying on his death bed with sons Manu & Anu standing on both sides of the bed, hands folded and crocodile tears flowing from their eyes. The dying tycoon extracts promises from both his sons that they will stop squabbling like little kids, grow up and focus their energies on making Gurutrust group of industries the largest business empire in Asia. Both the sons say in unison "Not just Asia, Papa. We promise you that by the time we die, our group would have become the largest business empire in the entire world." On hearing this extravagant promise, Gurubhai smilingly said 'Now I can die happy" and dies. His wife, Chokila Desai, standing by his feet, chokes watching hubby die but survives to preside over the splitting of his empire.

The two brothers, Manu and Anu, of course can't stand the sight of each other and are soon at each others throats bickering and fighting to take maximum control of Gurutrust empire. Then the script moves into flashback mode helping viewers understand the genesis of the conflict between the blood brothers. Through flashback sequences, we learn that big brother Manubhai started resenting his younger brother when he began romancing several Bollywood starlets, finally marrying Bollywood beauty Tinu Muni. Jealous of his success with Bollywood girls, he tried to dissuade her from marrying Tinu saying 'Bhai, Tinu tumse nahin, tumhari jaydaad se pyar karti hai' to which Anu replied winking, 'Main bhi Tinu se nahin, uski jaydaad se pyar karta hoon, bade bhai!" While Anu & Tinu sang duets and danced around trees, Manu became envious and wished he had not married so early in his life to Nitu, his wife of over 10 years who was also getting plump and rotund like him. 

After flashback ends, we see Manu watching Anu on TV screen picking up MTV youth award and getting angrier by the minute. He throws the remote control on the screen and screams 'I'm the one who is carrying the burden of Gurutrust empire on my shoulders, while my rascal brother is having all the fun..winning bollywood heroines and popularity contests. I will now show him who is the boss here!!"

Manu starts taking more and more control of the empire resulting in several dramatic scenes of sound and fury between the two brothers. Mom Chokila like a good mother initially tries to patch up their differences but finally gives up allowing them to split the empire and share the goodies.

Meanwhile, Manu's wife Nitu learns about hubby's secret crush on bhabhi Tinu and threatens to divorce him, though she has no intention of doing so. But a worried Manu, not willing to take any chances, mollifies her by gifting her a private jet worth Rs. 240 crores and offers to build for her a concrete and glass mansion in the heart of Mumbai costing nearly Rs. 8000 crores. Nitu gets pacified for a while but soon gets bored and starts complaining of her boredom.

"You have everything a woman can desire, dear. What more can I buy for you?"

Nitu replies, "I don't own a cricket team yet!"

"Don't worry darling! I'll buy a cricket team for you"

And that's how IPL is born. 

Things take an ugly turn as the spat between the two brothers worsens after the split. The brothers fight their battles in courts and trade charges publicly. They plan and plot against each other and manipulate the stock prices of their companies to dizzying heights attempting to become the richest dudes in the world. Things reach a flash point when Manu plots to kill his younger brother by putting stones in his helicopter. To make matters worse, he denies him his share of gas which he had promised to give him at a cheaper than market rate at the time of division of group assets.

One of the most dramatic and hilarious scene in the script involves the brothers meeting each other on their father's death anniversary function organized by mom Chokilaben. After initially avoiding each other, both get drunk and start bragging and boasting about their possessions.

"I'm richer than you"

"My wife's hotter than yours"

'So what? I love her more and have gifted her a private jet plane and a 60-storey tower'

"That's because you are afraid she will leave you. I don't have to buy my wife expensive phallic symbols to keep her satisfied and happy."

"Fuck You! You are a cheapster who always wants everything at a cheap, subsidized rates. You buy cheap, sleazy, out-of-power samajwadi politicians, but I buy only the best capitalist talents, be it politicians or cricketers. Mere paas Sachin Tendulkar hai"

'Mere paas hamare baap ka bhi baap hai!"

"Our grandad is an aging horse who will die soon. Mere pichwade me India ka future hai. I've millions of tonnes of gas up my arse"

"I'll make you fart and release that gas, bade bhai."

"I'm invincible! You may rant as much as you want in your AGM's, publish half-page advertisements in newspapers whining and crying but you won't be able to beat me, chotte bhai. Kyonki is Mahabharat ke yudh mein mere pass Manmohan ki Murli hai"

At this point, mom Chokila arrives and tells them, "Stop blowing your trumpets, nalaayakon!"

"Tum donon chahe kitne bhi khilone khareedo, par kabhi apni baap ki jagah nahi le sakte. Poochon kyun!"

"Why mom?"

Kyunki tum donon ke pass woh cheez nahin hai jo tumhare baap ke paas thi! Poocho kya!"

What mom?"

"Tumhari Maa"
