Everybody who has seen OSO will always remember the famous Bhago dialogue of Om (SRK). But the scene has its share of compositing secrets and VFX used which seem invisible to untrained eyes because of its brilliant execution.

This shot was the part of Shantipriya's shooting sequence in a village were she is surrounded with hay that catches fire and the actor Riki Sadu has to rescue her but unfortunately the fire spreads and the actor goes cold feet and doesn't jump in and save her neither the Bengali director Dada (Satish Shah) cuts the scene. Finally junior artist Om jumps into the fire and saves her and Om himself gets a bit injured in the whole process.

It was risky burning hay on the set; hence the VFX team went ahead with the idea of composited fire which would be safe and realistic as well. All the fire effects in the village sequence are real; chunks of fire were shot separately later. Then all the fire shots were composited to make one exaggerated fire sequence.

VFX highlights :

Minute details like reflection of the fire, shadows and the lighting intensity affecting the environment, fire smoke, hay particles and the blur effects caused due to such an outdoor fire were effectively achieved by the Red Chillies Team while compositing. This shows the perfect sense of depth, exaggeration and detail work possessed by VFX artists of Red Chillies added Haresh.

In the same sequence color correction was needed at various places. Like in the part where Om carries Shantipriya in his arms to save her from fire the brightness of fire had to be shown on Shantipriya's costumes. Even the flames on Om's clothes were composited one. "Color correction had to be done at every shot", adds Ronak, VFX artist of Red Chillies.
