Indian 2 cinematographer Ravi Varman has praised the Shah Rukh Khan owned Red Chillies, the company in charge of VFX and DI in Indian 2.
The official X handle of Red Chillies VFX shared Ravi Varman's testament that reads,
"Indian 2 is the longest journey I've ever undertaken in the grading theatre, starting in February and continuing until just days before the film's release.
A seasoned colorist once told me that no matter who shot a film using however many different cameras and formats, we can unify it all into a single vision during the grade if we have a good color sense.
This film's VFX were astounding. We seamlessly replaced skies, added reflections, and graded every shot to create a cohesive visual masterpiece.
Special thanks go to Ken Metzker, Srinivas Mohan (Indian 2 VFX Supervisor), Muthuraj Thangavel (Indian 2 production designer), Devanshi, Sidhartha, Surya Teja and the entire Redchillies.Color and Redchillies. VFX team for their invaluable contributions. In the end, we were all just instruments in the hands of one visionary-director Shankar. He deserves all the credit for the stunning visuals you see on the screen."
Indian 2 release date is July 12, 2024. The movie is a production venture of Lyca Productions, Red Giant Movies and has Anirudh Ravichander for music. All about Indian 2 here.
