This filmmaker cuts the VFX cost of his period-drama saga, gets panned by critics and audiences: Guess Who
We came across this juicy bit of item in a popular daily. Can you guess, who are they talking about?
This director who is known for his period dramas seems to have majorly compromised on the scale of his film. One of his recent films has been panned for the inferior production values and poor special effects.
A source close to the filmmaker threw light on the matter saying that initially, the makers were planning to go hi-tech by roping in a good VFX company. However, the filmmaker felt that the cost of special effects that was close to Rs 14 crores was too high.
The filmmaker and his wife, who is actively involved with his productions decided to try elsewhere. And sure enough, another VFX company agreed to do the special effects only for `6 crores. The film has released but they have paid the company only half the amount.
Industry punters are saying that all the money meant for the film has not gone into the film. The couple saved a packet of the VFX cost resulting in the film looking amateurish.
Any guesses?
