Summary
Expressing her sadness that he didn't have time to call this morning because "there was so much I wanted to ask you" about the filming, which is about one-third complete with "one of the biggest things (premiere party) safely out of the way"; confirming that she is sending three copies of new dialogue and asking for his opinion ("Is it all right? Not too much - by which I mean both in quality and quantity?"); offering to write more dialogue for other scenes to give him options; discussing the scene in the recording studio between Hari and Vikram; planning a visit to "come and see what you've got" before she begins re-writing; asking about "the swami film" and who will be in it.
