About this ebook
Set in Kollywood, or the Tamil film industry, in the 1980s, Dream Factory is a fictional chronicle of the shenanigans and the rising and falling fortunes of various players in show business.
Vijay, the handsome protagonist, who is at the peak of his career as a superstar.
Arumairajan, the passionate hotel waiter, who stakes everything in his life to make it big as a lyricist.
Manonmani, the small-time actress, who struggles to deal with the compromises she is forced to make. Premalatha, the attractive but ageing heroine, who finds herself falling out of favour with fickle audiences even as she longs to settle down in life.
Based on bestselling writer Sujatha's first-hand observations, Dream Factory is a page-turner filled with memorable characters and incidents that ring true, providing readers a no-holds-barred look into one of the world's most prolific film industries.
Sujatha
Sujatha (3 May 1935–27 February 2008) was the pseudonym of Tamil writer S. Rangarajan, who started writing under the name of his wife to avoid being confused with a well-known writer sharing his name. ‘Sujatha' Rangarajan was a senior manager at the state-run Bharat Electronics Ltd; he was a key figure in the team that invented the electronic voting machine. On the other hand, in the literary world, he was a cult figure of sorts. Rangarajan wrote pop novels in the detective and romance genres as well as serious literary explorations and science fiction. As a movie script writer, he helped script hits such as Boys and Thiruda Thiruda. Sujatha was a regular contributor to topical columns in Tamil periodicals such as Ananda Vikatan and Kalki. He also served briefly as the editor of Kumudam weekly.
