Talking
about the movie, Thinksmart CEO Vishnu Manchu shared with AnimationXpress.com,
"The VFX work required a lot of homework and story board design
by Thinksmart. Particularly two shots where a sumo which has around
20 people hanging from the side collide with another sumo at the
speed of 120 kms, and all the people are thrown around, this shot
cost around 30 lakhs.
He
further added, "The other shot where two people jump off the
bridge and the head of the bad guy gets cut mid air. Lot of research
time was spent on how the blood spurts when in mid air and on the
dynamics of the human body when thrown from a speeding SUV and stuff
like that."
The
CG involved in the VFX for the movie was completed within 25 days
and a team of 18 members were involved to complete the task.
Srinivasan,
Visualizer, Thinksmart, shared his feelings, "It is an honor
for Thinksmart to receive this award, our hard work has paid off
and we look forward for more challenges. We will be making our presence
felt this year and we hope to win the National Award for the film
we are working now starring our CEO Vishnu Manchu."
The
cinegoers award is a prestigious award by the critics and it is
awarded by the Chief Minister on basis for the south Indian Film
Industry.
