<span class=normal>One thing is true of all stories. They all have a beginning, middle and end. Film scripts typically run from 100 to 120 pages with each page representing about a minute of screen time. Within these script pages there will be five vital events - The inciting incident, plot point one, midpoint, plot point two and the climax. But for Kunal Deshmukh, the director of the forthcoming film Tum Mile, there is only one vital event taking place in his film - Floods, which goes from bad to worse to worst. Starring Emraan Hashmi and Soha Ali Khan, this Vishesh Bhatt film is the most costliest ever Bhatt camp project with story boarding, sprinklers, four feet tall swimming pool, laminated scripts and a whole lot of back pain coming along with it. In this Bollywood Hungama exclusive Writers Notepad part three, Kunal Deshmukh takes you through the journey of Tum Mile - its birth, the stars who said no to the film, writer Ankur Tiwaris entry, re-writing the script, the marketing strategy, the challenges while filming and his dream come true which he believes is Indias first ever disaster genre flick based on the true story of 26th July floods in Mumbai.<BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>26th July 2005 - The birth of Tum Mile<BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>Tum Mile was a film I wanted to make before Jannat. This was the film that I first scripted. I wanted to debut with Tum Mile. But Im glad that I did not do that because the kind of film Tum Mile is, I couldnt have pulled it off as my first film. I wouldve fallen flat on my face. The scale of Tum Mile is unimaginable. Disaster genre in Hollywood is pretty big. Youve got your Day After Tomorrow, Twister, Volcano, Dantes Peak, etc. As a person who has grown up on such big scale disaster flicks, I wanted to bring that kind of cinema into Bollywood. When I was an assistant director to Mohit Suri, thats when the Mumbai floods on 26th July 2005 happened. I was stuck in Worli and it took me about six hours to get home. The sight and sounds of that night were bizarre. The city that never slept had come to a grinding halt. 26th July changed me as a person. For a second you have this near death like experience when you see nature come down upon you. Thats the day I thought I wanted to script.</span>
