How they made VFX for Yamla Pagla Deewana : Bollywood News

What do you get when Dharmendra, Sunny, and Bobby are cast in the same film? The answers simple, you get Yamla Pagla Deewana. Director Samir Karnik has managed to rope in the comical trio, four years after their stint together in Anil Sharmas Apne. Apart from the arty shots and other creative inputs that make up the successful film, YPD has another contributing factor to thank for, namely VFX. Produced by Samir Karnik and Nitin Manmohan, the VFX in the film is contributed by Mumbai based Intermezzo studios.

Sandeep Kamal, the VFX supervisor and creative director of Intermezzo Studios supervised a few visual effects shots for Samirs Nanhe Jaisalmer in 2007. With this endeavor, it was only a matter of time until the VFX stalwart bagged Samirs latest comic caper Yamla Pagla Deewana.

Shot in Patiala and Filmcity, the film has over 150 VFX, CGI and clean up shots, the team at Intermezzo wrapped up the project in one months time with finesse. Although its a comedy film, Samir didnt want the VFX to look tacky or loud says Sandeep, on the look of the VFX in the film.

This tightly scheduled VFX pipeline was organized by Yash Talwar and Marc DSouza, creative and executive producer of intermezzo studios. We adopted quite a flexible production pipeline so that we could optimize the flow of shots through the pipe, depending on the resources we had available and the inflow of the shots from the lab says Marc on the production pipeline.
