Rajamouli beats the VFX budgets of Shahrukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan. His upcoming film, Baahubali, becomes the highest spender of VFX in Bollywood.

Rajamouli beats the VFX budgets of Shahrukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan. His upcoming film, Baahubali, becomes the highest spender of VFX in Bollywood.

The ace director will be spending over 85 crores for the VFX in the film.

S S Rajamouli's Baahubali is going to add yet another feather in its cap. Not only is it going to be one of the most expensive films ever made in India, but also, the film boasts of a never-before-heard budget for its visual effects alone. 

Since Baahubali is a period action drama, the makers have decided to go all out to create a visual extravaganza that'll surely take the audience by storm. 

The film's VFX budget alone is approximately going to exceed a whopping Rs 80 – 85 crores! This is more than the budget of most of Rajamouli's previous films including Eega, which was dubbed in Hindi as Makkhi.

                                      

With his earlier films, he has proved that he is the God of VFX and someone who understand the nitty-gritties of visual effects and the extent to which VFX designers, artists and others go to make things look real.

For Baahubali, their team is going to create almost two hours of environment for the film. Since the film is set in medieval India, there'll be plenty of visual effects in terms of creating extravagant sets, palaces and even kingdoms. The VFX team will create, extend and enhance the fictional kingdoms, forts and palaces in all their glory, apart from creating beautiful landscapes. Apart from all this, the VFX team will also be involved in creating several realistic action sequences, some of which involve animals.

S S Rajamouli and his team spend almost a year in pre-visualizing the entire film and the VFX team has already begun working on specific scenes which require greater efforts and time.

 The film stars Prabhas, Anushka Shetty and Rana Daggubati in lead roles, apart from Ramya Krishnan, Nasser, Sathyaraj and Sudeep in supporting roles. M M Keeravani is scoring the music and Senthil Kumar is the cinematographer. Shobu Yarlagadda and Prasad Devineni are producing the film under Arka Mediaworks banner and K Raghavendra Rao is presenting it. 

Baahubali is being simultaneously shot in Telugu and Tamil and it'll also be released in Hindi, Malayalam and other foreign languages in 2015.

Producer, Shobu Yarlagadda adds, "Baahubali is an ambitious project and attempting to make it the most spectacular film ever on Indian screen.  And we are using some cutting edge technology to achieve this. There is a lot of complex computer generated imagery(CGI) and VFX shots will be present in 90% of the movie. That means about 4500 - 5000 VFX shots.  So when you look at numbers like that budgets will naturally be very high. Baahubali will be one of the most expensive films ever produced in India along with highest VFX budgets ever. VFX is a very complex art and Rajamouli has been a pioneer in this space. His earlier films too have had great VFX but with Baahubali, he will take it several notches higher."

Madhuri Dixit’s Gulaab Gang Trainer Kanishka Sharma reveals the intense training schedule during the shoot!

 

This season, the color of justice is pink.  The trailer of the much anticipated film ‘Gulaab Gang’ which released online a week ago grabbed an unprecedented amount of eyeballs just within minutes and the fans across social media were left shocked not only at Madhuri’s hero-like avatar, but also at her stunning action sequences!!

Called one of the biggest casting coups of Indian Cinema, Gulaab Gang sees two of the most popular icons of Bollywood battle each other onscreen: Madhuri as the hero, Juhi as the Villain

The trailer of Madhuri Dixit's upcoming film 'Gulaab Gang' has Madhuri Dixit instilling life into high-octane action sequences as she leads the 'Gulaab Gang'.

The man behind these stunts, Kanishka Sharma, who has choreographed Madhuri’s stunts in Gulaab Gang reveals the strenuous training and hard work by the actress for the film!

He says, “The brief given to me by director Soumik Sen was to design the stunts in a manner that they look both aesthetic as well as realistic. It couldn't be as gritty as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, neither could it be as suave as the Matrix," adding that he trained Madhuri in rare martial art forms like Shaolin Kungfu, Pekiti Tirsia Kali and Shaolin Chin-na.

“I was taken aback by Madhuri's agility and her pitch-perfect timing! I extensively trained Madhuri for a month in Shaolin Kung Fu, besides stick training, Shaolin joint locking, Kali knife, short stick and of course, close combat” he further adds.

“I remember a scene where Madhuri had to twist a man's arm and kick him hard. I rehearsed with her for a few hours before the shot, but was a little apprehensive. Later, I was shocked at how comfortably she pulled it off. She makes all my otherwise tiring action look effortless on screen!” says Kanishka.

'GULAAB GANG' stars two icons of Indian Cinema starring together for the very 1st time: Madhuri Dixit and Juhi Chawla under the direction of Soumik Sen.

Produced by Anubhav Sinha, Presented and Co-Produced by Sahara Movie Studios and Bharat Shah, GULAAB GANG releases on 7th March 2014.

No Make up for Rajat's film.

No Make up for Rajat's film.

Ankhon Dekhi is a humorous film about a man's journey.

The film is shot in the narrow lanes of Shahjahanbad, Delhi.

Rajat has hemmed the project from scratch. He has written, directed and acted in the film. Rajat has looked into the casting of the film largely.

While casting for the film, Rajat mentioned it to the cast, beforehand that there will be no make-up personelle or vanity vans.

Rajat was keen to keep it as real as possible and hence did not want to loose the element.

A lot of actors Rajat spoke to were not comfortable with this. The reasoned with him and did not come on board for the film because of this reason.

However Rajat was very sure of the vision he had for the film.

The film has even been shot at real locations houses and narrow lanes in Shahjahanabad, Delhi

With no make up - hair personelle, it was a tight team of cast and crew. The strength of the team was 40-45 people odd.

Says Rajat Kapoor "It is terrible what actors do to their faces with make up- hide the beauty of their faces under layers of it. We decided that we did not want any make up for this film- and that was made clear to all the actors when they came to audition. Some actors, in fact did not agree to the clause, so unfortunately we had to let them go.."

He further adds "Not having make up and hair professionals on the set did many things -it brought a  sense of real to the film- which was very crucial for us, it gave a certain freedom to the actors.. and additionally it saved a lot of time - which was great for the shoot.."

 

SHILPA SHINDE’S INDIAN TOUCH TO ‘SAB KE SATRANGI PARIVAAR AWARDS’

SHILPA SHINDE’S INDIAN TOUCH TO ‘SAB KE SATRANGI PARIVAAR AWARDS’

Usually during award functions, TV actresses prefer to showcase their dancing skills on popular Bollywood numbers or through contemporary dance forms. Recently when Shilpa Shinde was asked to put up a performance for SAB ke SATRANGI Parivaar Awards, Shilpa chose to stick to the traditional Indian classic dance form – Kathakali.

Shilpa, who is currently playing the character of a Catholic girl named Mary D’mello in SAB TV’s popular show ‘Lapataganj – Ek Baar Phir’, will be once again seen dressed in bright and colorful South Indian attire.

When contacted, Shilpa replied, “Dancing on Indian Classical forms is very difficult and challenging. It is very different from the usual Bollywood song and dance numbers. A lot of attention is required in getting the right expressions. I performed on ‘Desh Mera Rangeela’ from the movie Fanna. My performance brings out the authenticity towards the Indian culture. The best thing about performing an Indian classical dance form is that it improves your concentration levels at the same time acts as a work out regime for you. I am sure viewers will love my dance performance.”

We hear that lot of preparations went in from Shilpa to get the act right, from getting the right steps to the frequency of the song, to get the expressions right as a South Indian dancer.

Catch Shilpa Shinde performing in ‘SAB Ke SATRANGI Parivaar Awards’ on Friday, January 31, 2014 at 9:00 pm only on SAB TV!!!
