Ayan
Mukerji’s
ambitious
film
Brahmastra
featuring
real-life
couple
Ranbir
Kapoor
and
Alia
Bhatt
released
in
theatres
on
Friday
(September
9,
2022).
Besides
the
star-studded
cast,
one
of
the
highlights
of
this
epic
fantasy
is
its
mind-blowing
VFX
which
has
got
everyone
talking
about
it.
A
huge
credit
to
this
goes
to
Prime
Focus
Ltd
which
made
sure
to
envision
a
never-seen
before
cosmic
universe
in
Indian
cinema
through
the
lens
of
VFX
and
technology.
With
its
creative
and
technical
teams
across
London,
North
America,
and
India
working
in
synergy
under
the
guidance
of
Namit
Malhotra,
Founder
of
Prime
Focus
Limited,
Chairman
and
Global
CEO
of
a
seven-time
Oscar-winning
company
DNEG.
Brahmastra
was
the
first
project
during
the
COVID-19
pandemic
to
extensively
use
Prime
Focus’s
incubated
technology
‘CLEAR’
and
Media
ERP
suit
to
ensure
seamless
date
transfer
of
high
quality
shots
and
date
security
from
inception
to
delivery.
Further,
do
you
folks
know
that
Brahmastra
Part
1:
Shiva
boasts
of
over
4500
VFX
shots
in
comparison
to
Avengers:
End
Game’s
2400
VFX
shots,
making
it
a
potential
record
holder
for
the
most
visual
effects
in
any
movie
globally?
The
magnificient
shots
in
the
film
was
designed
by
the
same
team
from
DNEG
which
had
contributed
to
Oscar-winning
movies
like
Dune,
Tenet,
First
Man
and
more.
Speaking
about
the
VFX
of
Brahmastra,
Ayan
Mukerji
said,
“Brahmastra
is
very
close
to
my
heart.
The
idea
of
Brahmastra
was
ploughed
into
my
mind
way
before
I
even
realized
it.
I
grew
up
listening
to
the
stories
of
Indian
history
and
mythology
and
was
always
fascinated
by
them.
I
wanted
to
create
a
story
that
was
deeply
rooted
in
Indian
spiritual
history
but
also
had
modern
twists
and
turns.
Inspired
by
many
movies
that
brought
fantasy
worlds
to
life,
I
envisioned
creating
the
world
of
Brahmastra
in
a
way
that
would
challenge
the
limits
of
Indian
cinema.
Namit
and
his
teams
were
an
integral
part
of
this
journey
and
have
worked
hard
alongside
me
to
bring
this
adventure
film
to
life.
The
relentless
work
of
his
team
and
the
hard
work
of
the
entire
team
and
cast
of
Brahmastra
has
allowed
us
to
bring
to
the
audience,
a
film
like
never
before.”
Namit
Malhotra,
one
of
the
producers
of
Brahmastra,
said,
“From
editing
small
budget
projects
to
delivering
Oscar
worthy
cinematic
experiences,
it’s
been
quite
a
long
and
rewarding
journey
for
us.
All
these
experiences
over
the
past
25
years
combined
with
technological
and
VFX
advancements
have
helped
us
bring
Ayan’s
vision,
Brahmastra
to
life
–
our
biggest
Indian
project
to
date.
I
feel
truly
honored
to
be
a
part
of
such
a
project
alongside
Ayan,
Karan
Johar,
Dharma
Productions,
Disney
and
Fox
Star
Studios.”
He
continued,
“The
concept
of
the
Astras
is
deeply
rooted
in
Indian
mythology
and
immense
attention
to
detail
and
research
have
gone
into
creating
them
for
the
screen.
Our
goal
was
to
enable
Ayan
to
create
a
first-of-its-kind
Astraverse
that
would
have
the
audience
at
the
edge
of
their
seats.
This
couldn’t
have
been
achieved
without
the
unabating
hard
work
from
teams
across
Prime
Focus,
DNEG,
and
ReDefine.
Today,
I
am
truly
proud
of
the
work
we
have
done
with
Brahmastra
and
I
hope
it
sets
a
benchmark
and
inspires
many
filmmakers
and
artists
to
push
the
envelope.”
In
addition
to
this,
the
film
was
supported
with
on-set
camera
equipments
and
state
of
art
sound
stages.
Pritam-led
music
and
sound
design
studio
Jam8,
played
an
instrumental
role
in
the
epic
sound
effects
and
scores
to
the
film.
Helmed
by
Ayan
Mukerji,
Brahmastra
revolves
around
a
Mumbai-based
DJ
Shiva
who
discovers
his
superpower
of
controlling
power
and
sets
out
to
protect
Brahmastra,
the
Lord
of
all
the
weapons
from
the
dark
forces.
The
magnum
opus
also
features
Alia
Bhatt,
Amitabh
Bachchan
and
Mouni
Roy
in
key
roles
with
Nagarjuna
Akkineni
and
Shah
Rukh
Khan
doing
guest
appearances.
