<BR><BR>Today after numerous advancements in filmmaking directors and storytellers have myriad options to enhance the overall viewing experience for the audience. The recently released Ajay Devgn - Kareena Kapoor starrer Singham Returns, directed by Rohit Shetty is a perfect example of the progress made in the field of visual enhancements. While most people have watched and enjoyed the film, not many have looked deeper. Bollywood Hungama caught up with director Rohit Shetty himself and Naveen Paul the Creative Head of VFX to know more about what went into the making of Singham Returns.<BR><BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p><amp-img width=1.33 height=1 layout=responsive src=https://images.bollywoodhungama.com/img/feature/14/aug/singhamr1b.jpg></amp-img><BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p><amp-img width=1.33 height=1 layout=responsive src=https://images.bollywoodhungama.com/img/feature/14/aug/singhamr1c.jpg></amp-img><BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p><amp-img width=1.33 height=1 layout=responsive src=https://images.bollywoodhungama.com/img/feature/14/aug/singhamr1d.jpg></amp-img><BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>Bandra Worli Sea Link<BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>The film starts off with a shot of the Bandra- Worli Sea Link, and later even features a massive action sequence. Interestingly while reviews have stated that the shot has been executed with aplomb, Shetty has a different view, The funny part about this shot is that we never really shot at the sea link. Despite having backing from the Police force, shooting there is not permitted. Hence we had to develop the entire sea link in CGI. <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>A daunting task by any means, We did multiple trips up and down the sea link shooting small videos that captured the look of the road, the suspension wires, the water, the surrounding views, and everything. Later we even took shots from high rises in Worli to capture the movement of vehicles and water on and below the bridge. Once this was done, we developed a physical 3D model of the bridge and later adapted the same to film with CGI and added the necessary textures to get that authentic feel, explains Naveen Paul. <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>The whole process of developing the sea link was by far the most time consuming task as we had to get every detail right. Especially since each scene was shot separately and later had to be merged one layer at a time, comments Naveen on the painstaking task of layer compositing.
