write up on Muthu -- part 3;Is film world like a glass curtain economy, shining and glittering?!

Work in the film industry is generally perceived by public as one of celebrations, and merry making entertainment. This has been the conventional wisdom. The majority opinion here is that those who succeeded here and thrived are conceived as princes of the erstwhile dynasty of kings/Rajas and live in a glittering celluloid world ( with all the privacy of their heart  throbs?).But the truth is different. But the film world is more like a cruel snake and ladder game where in  there is always a rat race- a  sort of reckless competition and uneasiness experienced by all ,lest the position just secured  might slip away and the ardent desire to somehow sustain the existing status and rank/position. The world of cinema is full of complete economic uncertainty.Muthu would often say  to me:Subbu,be careful, it is not my mother …. or your mother…..(colloquial expression).It is cinema da…even while you  sleep  see that you  keep on shaking legs otherwise they will conclude; you are dead.
