Ace director Shankar has a few sturdy thrillers on his name such as 'Sivaji' starring Rajinikanth, 'Eerum', and path breaking science fiction film 'Enthiran'.
The director is now gearing up for his upcoming thriller film 'I' starring actors Vikram and Amy Jackson in lead roles. The director has worked on different genres from comedy to political satire.
Guess what's new in this film 'I'?
The director has roped in 'Weta Workshop' a film prop and special effects company headed by Richard Leslie Taylor and Peter Jackson, for makeup and special effects for 'I'. The Stan Winston Studios were used in 'Enthiran'.
"The most exciting thing happened is, 'Weta Workshop' of 'Avatar', 'Lord of the Rings' and 'Hobbit' fame and run by Richard Taylor & Peter Jackson, is taking an important part in our film in the special make up department. Like Stan Winston Studios played a major role in 'Enthiran', Weta is doing in 'I'," he blogged.
A song sequence was recently shot in which the Tamil superstar Vikram had special make-up done by Weta Workshop artist Sean Foot. The actor was done up as a mannequin. The actor's new look will surely will be a treat for Vikram fans.
"Many of you had asked me whether we had recreated China in Kodaikanal, and if the budget of the movie is 150 crores. In China we had got permissions for all the locations we wanted and had finished shooting as per our plan. Kodaikanal scenes are entirely different from China portions, and the budget will be less than 100 crores," the director blogged.
The director expressed grief at the loss of an important technician and four time winner of National Award VFX supervisor Venki. The two worked together on songs such as the most popular charts 'Mukkala Muqabla', 'Indian', 'Kannodu Kanbathellam' and 'Mudhalvan'.
"He's the first one who created revolution in VFX in Indian cinema and has won four national awards. My deepest condolences for his family," he blogged.
The film will surely be among the most successful films of the year.
