Summary
Asking him to confirm receiving new scripts and having thrown the other version away; expressing her unhappiness that a scene with a wrestling match might be cut due to budgetary constraints; posing several other options that might be able to substitute for the lost wrestling match scene, including a Kathakali dance performance; noting that she has seen many interviews given by Zia Mohyeddin and that Ismail "has someone really as publicity-conscious as he likes people to be, instead of all of us shrinking bloody violets".
