Exploring Writer's Block

Exploring Writer's Block

Recently, I was part of a guided tour in Ramoji Film City, Hyderabad.


I have always read since childhood that the world is an illusion. Here, I actually experienced it.

Each and every construction of set is actually fake—the houses, the caves, the palace, you name it. Except for the European-styled buildings, because they required architectural strength to hold them firm.

The fake prison structure, for example.

What appears in the movie is not real; yes, Plaster of Paris. But if we keep this fact aside, we actually live the movie, integrating us with the scenes. We then forget that most of the VFX is actually made in a small green carpet room of a studio.


If you walk through the rooms, you will actually see yourself walking through London streets.


The fragility and reality are still a contrast, but it are not made durable; the materials are to be reused for the new concept. If at a spot Bahubali scene is shot, then after some time a new model will be made there. But then, Bahubali went so popular that you get to see commercialization growing mad

Now see the cool ideas and the way they commercialized them. The Menu!!

Coming to the point- What is the writer's block ?

How to start ? What would be the new character ? How shall the character behave ? What next ?

This tour taught me about perspectives. The actors go through various scene cuts, sweating and repeating their dialogues, eating whatever is around. The set makers work day and night creating the set

Also see the real looking cart.


The glamour we see is just like the commercialization of Bahubali popularity. Was it pre-planned? To open a restaurant themed Bahubali? No, it just came later on due to it's popularity. Is it not similar to Harry Potter??? The book came first, and then the movie followed.

To address the writer's block, one needs just focus on what it is now, not on objectives; the ideas will follow. It is like having a vision for the present. To ask yourself: What? How? Why? When ?

Aha ! Now I see myself as an actor for the Bahubali set too. The point is, there is no director, no producer, and no cast crew except my friends clicking me. I can write about this remake now.
