Scene: Editing Room at the Production House

INT. EDITING ROOM - DAY

The room is filled with high-tech editing equipment, screens displaying various cuts of Whispers of Jaisalmer. ARJUN, focused and passionate, sits in front of a large monitor, his fingers deftly navigating the editing software. The air is charged with anticipation as he prepares to unveil a glimpse of the film.

ARJUN

(to himself, determined)

"This is it. It's time to show the world what we've created."

CUT TO: SCREEN VIEW

The screen shows a dark, atmospheric scene from the film. In the foreground, a figure, ARYAN, stands with his back to the camera, staring into the abyss. His posture is tense, hinting at the weight of the impending confrontation. In the distance, a shadowy figure, THE DARK ONE, looms with a sinister smirk, a chilling expression that sends shivers down the spine.

ARJUN (V.O.)

(with conviction)

"Let the fans feel the intensity. Let them know there's more to this story."

BACK TO ARJUN

He turns to his assistant, MAYA, who is eagerly watching the screen, eyes wide with excitement.

MAYA

(enthusiastically)

"This is going to blow everyone away! The tension is palpable!"

ARJUN

(nodding, serious)

"It's not just a horror film; it's about the fight between light and darkness. We need to create a buzz. We want them to feel Aryan's struggle against The Dark One."

INT. PRODUCTION OFFICE - LATER

The mood shifts as ARJUN meets with VIKRAM, the producer, in a sleek office adorned with posters of previous successful films.

VIKRAM

(leaning back, contemplative)

"I love what I just saw, Arjun. It has potential. But we need a strategy to build hype."

ARJUN

(leaning forward, passionate)

"How about we release this glimpse as a teaser? It'll set the tone for the movie and get fans talking. We can tie it into the announcement of the next installment in our cinematic universe."

VIKRAM

(nodding, considering)

"I like the sound of that. But we need to time it right. The film festivals are buzzing right now, and we want to ride that wave."

ARJUN

(excited)

"Yes! We can use the festival's momentum to our advantage. Imagine the audience's reaction when they see Aryan confronting The Dark One!"

VIKRAM

(leaning forward, enthusiastic)

"And announcing the next installment at the same time? Brilliant! We'll create a whole new level of anticipation."

ARJUN

(smiling)

"Exactly! We can hint at new characters and the expanding universe. It's time to show that we're building something bigger than just one story."

INT. PRODUCTION OFFICE - MOMENTS LATER

They gather around the large screen in the office as Arjun prepares to play the glimpse for Vikram. The tension in the room heightens.

ARJUN

(gesturing to the screen)

"Here it is. The glimpse of Whispers of Jaisalmer."

The teaser rolls, showcasing Aryan's intense back as he confronts The Dark One, whose smirk sends chills through the viewers. The screen fades to black, followed by the text:

TEXT ON SCREEN

"This Summer, darkness awakens."

ARJUN (V.O.)

(echoing, intense)

"Let the whispers begin."

Scene: Post-Teaser Reaction

As the teaser concludes, Vikram sits in stunned silence, absorbing the gravity of what he's just witnessed.

VIKRAM

(slowly, with a smile)

"That… was powerful. This is going to create a stir."

ARJUN

(grinning)

"Now, we announce the next installment. We're just getting started."

VIKRAM

(leaning back, ready)

"Let's make the announcement count. We want fans buzzing about this for months!"

FADE OUT.

EXT. JAISALMER - DAY (FLASHBACK)

As they discuss the announcement, a quick flashback shows scenes from Jaisalmer—the golden sands, the haunting fort, and local villagers going about their daily lives, tying the new film back to its roots.

NARRATOR (V.O.)

(sounding nostalgic)

"In 2004, the sands of Jaisalmer whisper tales long forgotten, waiting for those brave enough to uncover their secrets."

FADE OUT TO BLACK.
