Deconstructing the VFX of Ajay Devgns Singham Returns : Bollywood News

Adding realism to the stunts

Apart from the above there were a multiple other sequences that required attention especially the stunt scenes that Rohit Shetty has since become synonymous for. In fact I shoot all my stunts with minimal effects, for example the explosions actually feature a car going up in flames, that obviously are later enhanced in CG, says Rohit, But for the scene where Ajay gets blown into a standing Bolero and falls, it was a matter of ego since I was told that I could not recreate the same sequence from Mission Impossible.

The interesting way we did that was, also thanks to Ajay Devgn who knows his way with stunts. We actually had him running while strapped to bungee cords, and once he reached a certain point he was pulled to hit the Bolero. Then later we removed the thick mattresses that broke his fall, explains Rohit.

However for the end sequence where the police van is hit into the electric generator, we hardly had any effects added. The only post process work done on that sequence was merging the layers to look as one, apart from that the sparks that flew and the van hitting the electric generator was real, adds Rohit.
