Investigating the VFX of Shootout At Wadala : Bollywood News

The latest mobster flick, which narrates the tale of slain gangster Manya Surve's reign of terror in Mumbai during the 80s, is doing very well at the Box Office. Directed by Sanjay Gupta, the film is an adaptation of S. Hussain Zaidi's book 'Dongri to Dubai'. Sanjay had envisioned a stylized look for the film that was achieved through visual effects by Mumbai based FutureWorks. Four hundred and fifty shots were augmented digitally through VFX. Vinay Singh Chuphal along with Abhishek De, the VFX supervisors of the film, manned a force of 45 artists to accomplish the task in a mere 25 days. Talking about the VFX executed, Sanjay says, "FutureWorks allowed me to extract the best of VFX and DI. Their unique 16bit-DI pipeline, enabled me to drive my images to the edges of Digital Cinema's P3 color space. I am extremely happy with the finished result." Bollywood Hungama's Philip Bode gets Vinay to take us through a visual effects journey to talk about, stylizing the action scenes and the challenges with the visual effects process of Shootout At Wadala.
