Chapter 64: Treasure

Shakru patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, I swear in the honor of the Pandit family that I will do my best to restore the life of Princess Villeat!" It's not that Shakru is fooling Satkina, he really wants to photograph Villeatre's real experience, but his focus is on Villeatre's downfall.

Sakina pondered for a long time, then took out a beautifully decorated box from a moldy cabinet next to her, opened it carefully, took out a piece of parchment, handed it to Shakru and said, "No need to swear, I trust the integrity of the members of the Pandit family." However, since I was filming the deeds of my mother, Princess Villeat, I would like to give a little support. Although I don't have any money in my hands now, my family used to keep a treasure in the Padmanaba Swami Temple in Kerala, which is held in trust by the local Varma family, and you can use this certificate to go to the Varmar family in Kerala to collect it. ”

Shakru was very puzzled by this certificate, since you have a treasure deposit certificate in your hand, then why do you have to live such a hard life here? Despite his doubts, Shakru thanked Sakina and, after signing the licensing agreement, left the "princess's bedchamber".

Rakuma, who had been waiting outside, stepped forward and asked, "Boss, how was the conversation with the princess?" ”

Shakru shook the authorization agreement in his hand proudly and said, "Well, the princess has signed the authorization agreement, and the first step in this matter has been resolved." ”

"Hehe, boss, in that case, can you hand over this movie to me to shoot at that time?"

Shacrouch said: "Eh, aren't you very optimistic about this movie? Why did you take the initiative to shoot again at this time? ”

Rakuma explained with some embarrassment: "I wasn't optimistic about this movie before because there was too much resistance, so I would like to give the boss a reminder, but now that you are willing to make this movie, I naturally don't want to miss this good opportunity." Although this kind of movie has great resistance and controversy, it has received a lot of attention and enough topicality, and if you polish it well, the box office may not be low. ”

Shakru glanced at him, and then said: "Then it depends on how you perform in this film now, if this bandit queen is filmed now, then it is not impossible for this last princess to be handed over to you." ”

Rakuma immediately assured: "Boss, don't worry, don't dare to say anything else, but I am absolutely confident in this "Bandit Queen", if this kind of topical and commercial film is not popular, then I will not do this business in the future." ”

As it turned out, LaKuma wasn't bragging, and Shakru was satisfied after checking the samples from this time. Although he can't remember the details of the "Bandit Queen" he watched back then, he can guarantee that this version made by Rakuma is definitely much more commercial than the original version, adding many scenes and plots that attract the audience, while also taking into account the theme and thinking of the film.

In particular, actress Sima Biswas's performance is perfect, successfully interpreting the humiliation and strength of Puran David when she was persecuted, especially the momentum she had when she commanded the bandits, which made Shakru really feel that this is the real Puran David, this is the real bandit queen! Far more handsome than Puran David, who is now sitting in his office waiting to run for Congress, and of course, much more beautiful!

After inspecting the filming process, Shakru returned to New Delhi, and while looking for someone to write the script of "The Last Princess", he also studied the proof of the treasure deposit given to him by Sakina in his spare time.

What is surprising is that although this Sakina seems to be old-fashioned and confused, she has a trick on Shakru in this matter. The proof of storage she gave Shakru, while it was true, was hundreds of years ago. And this Padmanaba Swamy Temple in Kerala, although there has always been a legend of treasure, but it has not been discovered for hundreds of years, which shows that this Sakina is fooling Shakru with a large cake in the air, which also explains why she has such a miserable life when she has treasure in her hands.

Happily, Shakru really knows where this treasure is hidden, because the treasure of the Padmanaba Swami Temple was so sensational when it came out in 2011 that the total value of the treasure found was said to be more than 500 billion rupees (equivalent to 73 billion yuan) after only one secret room was opened, and this is only an estimated value, and if it is auctioned, the price may have to be doubled.

In fact, this treasure was originally supposed to belong to the owner of the temple, the Varma family, but due to the Varma family's mismanagement of the temple and the lack of security measures, the local government took back the management of the temple in January 2011, and then discovered the treasure when it was officially cleaned and excavated.

But now it's 1991, so I can take advantage of the fact that the temple has not been reclaimed by the government, and discuss with the Varma family, it is best to buy the temple, and it is really not possible to ask the Varma family to dig the secret treasure of the temple together with the Varma family on the condition of treasure clues.

In fact, there is another thing that Shakru does not know, in 1993, the Indian Constitution amendment stipulates that all the contracts and guarantees that the Indian government has entered into with the princes of the princely states are all invalid, so that the Kerala government can recover the ownership of the temple so smoothly, but if Shakru excavates the treasure of the secret room at this time, then at least the government has no reason to interfere.

In fact, after the discovery of the treasure in 2011, the Kerala government's original intention was to auction all the treasures, and the proceeds of the auction would be used to help the poor and invest in social welfare. Because the value of the wealth found in the temple is more than Kerala's education budget for a year, it is equivalent to seven months of India's defense spending, or four months of interest on a loan for India. It was only later that the believers stopped them from auctioning them, but kept all these treasures in the temple and did not misappropriate them or move them elsewhere.
