Script Rejection and Confidence Shattered: The Gautham Hari Saga
To my surprise, this individual, endowed with a compelling script and adept narration skills, faced the harsh reality of his script being outright rejected midway. Devastated, the once-confident Gautham Hari contemplated returning to his village, acknowledging his failure.
Producer Predicament: Aligning Scripts with the Right Producers
