Life is Beautiful

We all have some friends who give us gyan all the time. They know us in a way many people dont. You wanna listen to them even if they tell you that you are the biggest fool on the earth.So like most people i also have such friends. Some people I rate high on intelligence(I mean EQ..Ahem!)
Now this person, lets say Mr X, gave me a funda that people get upset because they plan out a life,select characters and roles and expect them to behave like this. But just as you expect life, it springs SURPRISES. And now when your hero/heroine/character artists start behaving pricey and much different from the script then obviously as a creative director you would feel upset.
So what is the alternative to this problem that often leads to stress,high BP, bad mood and relationship with your characters. Well one method is to stop being a director but I guess thats easier said than done! Then maybe you should be this adjusting director who gives in to the whims and fancies to the character, but then you arent the director anyways or another way is that let the script remain the same but keep changing the cast(just like ekta kapoor serials) .Waise now that we talk about ekta kapoor,isnt life also similar to the never ending sagas of Ms kapoor. So now I know why these SOAPS never end. But yes now lets not get side tracked,getting back to the point. I think the last option is quite good.
Theek hai script is final,cast is replaceable. Is this a fine solution. I guess it is.After all noone is indispensible tabhi to when most people didnt want to act with a new actor SRK,juhi chawla did and ended up being india's biggest superstar's friend.
Moral on the story: Choose the script the actors will follow,
Golden rule:Noone is indispensible!
