After VFX has been a successful move in Hollywood and Bollywood, now Tollywood is also gearing up for the same. Yesterday, Mollywood’s famous star Prithviraj Sukumaran took to his social media handle and gave details about his next film, which will virtually be produced and shot. Sharing the news, he captioned, “Changing times, newer challenges, innovative methods! And an epic story to tell!” The film will be shot entirely using the virtual production techniques that are used in popular Hollywood films such as Ready Player One and Avatar. Apparently, the film will be shot in massive sets with LED screens which will display the required background.
While talking to a leading daily, recently, filmmaker Gokulraj said that the movie will be based on a Kerala mythology and it will be a very colourful entertainer with songs and action sequences complementing each other. The film will be simultaneously shot in five languages namely Malayalam, Tamil, Kannada, Telugu and Hindi making it a multi-lingual project. The director also added that he has hopes that this film’s technology will be used by many other upcoming filmmakers.
About the film’s genre and cast members, a source was quoted saying that, “It will be the first movie to begin filming in India using virtual production and we are planning to shoot the movie simultaneously in all five languages. It’s an epic period film like Baahubali and it will be made on a huge canvas with a stellar cast.” Talk about Prithviraj's work font, then he has a lineup of movies in his kitty including Aadujeevitham, Vaariyamkunan and Kaduva.
