Chennai EFX for Bollywood superhero!!
Hrithik Roshan & Priyanka Chopra
If Spiderman or Superman can jump from one skyscraper to another, watch out, an Indian superman, Krrish, can do it too. This Hrithik Roshan starrer is getting ready at Prasad Labs, Chennai with technicians from the US and India working on the special effects. It is a giant leap for Indian cinema, because while an average Indian cinema has only 200 shots digitally manipulated, about 1200 shots are worked on for Krrish. Roshan Senior, the producer, doesn’t mind dumping money to make to the movie to perfection.
Every frame is diligently made to remove the blur between the virtual and the real. Rakesh Roshan is proud of the output that is coming out: “There are lots of things that I have attempted in the film that even Hollywood has not. People who see this film will not say it is like a Hollywood movie. It is a Hollywood movie,” says Rakesh Roshan.

“The special effects scene gel with the story component. It doesn’t look like they have been thrust into the film for their sake,” says Kilari Himakumar, the Senior Line Producer at Prasad EFX.

“We had to bring Hrithik to Los Angeles to do stunts there. The real Hrithik was scanned with modern equipment and put digitally into the virtual world for the EFX scenes,” observes Craig Mumma, the man looking after special effects for Krrish.

Krrish is also making a record of sorts in that it is the first Hindi movie that is simultaneously release with Tamil and Telugu versions. Let us wait and see how an Indian Sci Fi works out with the Indian masses.
It is a matter of pride for Chennai that the most expected and hyped film has come to Chennai labs for hi-tech special EFX.
