Stunt man to Star director

Chapter 26: Viral Victory and New Horizons

Suraj sat in his office at Mythic Productions, holding the latest box office report in his hands. Twenty days in theaters, and Bloody Commando had raked in a remarkable 70 crore. Not only was this a huge boost for the company, but it also meant that Mythic Productions was finally showing signs of revival. His parents' legacy was coming back to life, stronger than ever, and it was all because of the relentless dedication and passion he had poured into the film.

As he scrolled through his StarGram feed, Suraj couldn't help but chuckle. Clips from the movie's post-credit scene, where Kamal Singh's chilling laugh sent shivers down audiences' spines, had gone viral, igniting an unexpected trend. The memes and shorts featuring his laugh, dubbed with lines from popular "sigma" quotes and catchy edits, were flooding the platform.

One short had Kamal's iconic laugh paired with the caption: "When the waiter brings the bill and you look at your broke friend like…" followed by the chilling laugh, and then a dramatic close-up with the text: "I pay my own way." The comment section was full of people tagging friends, with comments like, "Bro, this was totally you last weekend!"

Another trending clip had his laugh followed by: "When your boss thinks you're going to stay late without overtime…" paired with intense background music and a zoom-in on Kamal's smirk. The top comment read, "Kamal Singh laugh > any motivational speech."

And perhaps the funniest one was simply Kamal Singh laughing with the text: "When your mom tells you to bring a girlfriend to Diwali dinner..." The overlay of Kamal's signature laugh had everyone in stitches, with comments pouring in like, "This is literally every desi guy's nightmare."

The impact was undeniable. It wasn't just that Bloody Commando was performing well—it had become a cultural moment. People across Bharat were captivated by the film, not only as a thrilling experience but as something they could share, laugh about, and feel connected to. Every corner of StarGram seemed to be buzzing with Bloody Commando's influence.

Just as Suraj was immersed in the trend, Kunal walked into the office. "Suraj! Quite the phenomenon you've created here," he said, gesturing toward Suraj's phone. "Looks like everyone in Bharat is talking about Bloody Commando and Kamal's laugh!"

Suraj laughed. "It's wild, Kunal-ji. I knew the post-credit scene would make an impact, but this… I never expected people to be creating their own jokes and even editing the scene with their own dialogue. I mean, 'When you say no to biryani but it's offered for free'? I couldn't stop laughing when I saw that one!"

Kunal smiled, pride gleaming in his eyes. "It's the mark of a true success, Suraj. When a film becomes part of everyday culture, that's when you know you've done something special. And you've not only pulled Mythic Productions out of the red but given it a name that stands for quality and heart. Your parents would be proud."

Suraj looked down, a little overwhelmed. "I hope so, Kunal-ji. But this wouldn't have been possible without the support I got—from you, from the team, and even from people who believed in the film. And of course, Kamal Singh's cameo gave it that final push. His fanbase has been amazing."

Kunal nodded thoughtfully. "Kamal has brought a lot of excitement, and the response proves that people are hungry for powerful, meaningful stories. But you did something even more remarkable. You took the memory of that fallen soldier, Major Rathore, and you didn't just make it a scene or a character—you honored his sacrifice. You reminded people why they love and respect our army. That connection… you can't buy that with a big budget or a superstar."

Suraj looked out the window, letting Kunal's words sink in. "It's strange, Kunal-ji. Sometimes I feel like I'm here for a reason beyond just making movies. Like there's a larger story I'm meant to tell, or maybe a duty to the people who stand behind me, whether it's Aryan, my parents, or even the people of Bharat."

Kunal patted him on the shoulder. "Maybe you're right, Suraj. And that's what makes you different. You're here to carry forward something much bigger than Mythic Productions alone. With this movie's success, the revival of Mythic isn't just a possibility; it's already happening. This is just the beginning."

Suraj smiled, feeling both the weight and the exhilaration of Kunal's words. With Bloody Commando on track to be a monumental success, they could finally look toward the future. He started to discuss with Kunal the next steps they could take.

"What's your plan, Suraj?" Kunal asked. "With this momentum, you have so many options. Are you going to start on the sequel?"

"I have big ideas for the sequel, but I don't want to rush it. I want the story to evolve naturally, and I need time to prepare the scale it deserves," Suraj replied thoughtfully. "Besides, Kamal's schedule is packed, and casting him as the lead will require a major investment. I want to ensure the foundation is solid before we move forward."

Kunal smiled, clearly impressed by Suraj's strategic thinking. "Then, in the meantime, how about we expand our production slate? With Bloody Commando's success, we can leverage this buzz to bring in investors, maybe even co-productions, to keep Mythic moving forward."

Suraj nodded, liking the sound of that. "Exactly. And we need to start working on a few smaller projects that can build our portfolio and brand. If we can use the success of Bloody Commando to create a steady production line, then we'll not only revive Mythic—we'll turn it into a powerhouse."

As the day continued, they brainstormed potential projects, laying the groundwork for a new era at Mythic Productions. Ideas were tossed around for fresh, compelling stories that would capture Bharat's imagination. They discussed themes of patriotism, justice, family, and resilience—stories that had substance, the same qualities that made Bloody Commando a success.

But even amidst all the planning, Suraj knew the journey had only just begun. For him, Bloody Commando wasn't just a movie—it was a testament to his second chance, his promise to Aryan, and the memory of the original Suraj who had entrusted him with this life.

As Kunal left the room, Suraj took one last glance at the StarGram feed, his mind buzzing with ideas and hope. The viral trends, the memes, the fan reactions—they were a reminder that he was creating something much more than cinema. He was connecting with people, creating something real and unforgettable.

Suraj closed his eyes, allowing himself a brief moment of pride and gratitude. He had brought Mythic Productions back to life, and this time, he would make sure it stood tall for generations to come. This was the beginning of a legacy—one that he, Aryan, and the spirit of his parents would carry forward together.
