Abhishek made us wear black jackets

2012 Bollywood begins with a heist and talking about Players, don't mark down Abbas-Mustan not being one. They are big time Players when it comes to chasing box office successes. Trace their last decade and you'll know how successful they have been in their heist at the box office. The typical setting of a thriller movie is an urban city with colours used from black to grey to white to emphasise the helplessness of characters. Welcome Abbas-Mustan, the colourful duo who'll always be spotted in crisp white from top to toe. Their thriller movies are filled with rainbow colours and their characters emphasise strength. And even though they're masters in twisting the thriller genre in the most unexpected manner, you'll see Abbas-Mustan sitting quietly on their director's chair in front of the monitor, call their shots, pack up, go to the edit table and present you with Bollywood's best thriller movies you'll ever see on the wide 'white' screen, and Players is heading towards being yet another masterstroke by master craftsmen Abbas-Mustan. UK's Harrow Observer columnist and Bollywood Hungama's London correspondent ends the year 2011 with quite a 'thrill' and one of them is seeing Abbas-Mustan wearing 'black'. Shocked? Read on and find out! "We were in Moscow when we got a call from Bipasha and she was jovial and so excited to be a part of Players" We had to go to Russia for some urgent work regarding Players and by that time we had already approached Bipasha to play a part in our movie. We told her to listen to the script in a narration we had kept for her rather than her reading the script. Thrillers are better heard than read we thought. We were in Moscow when we got a call from Bipasha and she was jovial and so excited to be a part of Players. The day we landed, that same evening she came over to our office and the rest is history. "Bipasha looks hot in her bikini and she did not object one bit to wear it" Bipasha worked out for three months before her shoot in New Zealand as she wanted to look at her 'fit' best. We gave her the New Zealand schedule dates and she hit the gym with full force. Bipasha looks hot in her bikini and she did not object one bit to wear it as the scene demanded it. She was very open to suggestions and she too gave her valuable inputs. When she walked out of the waters, the crowd went in frenzy. She was looking hot. "Every film we make is bigger than our previous movie" It's just not the cast who are termed as Players. We too are Players as directors. Our editor and brother Hussain too is a Player. Same with our DOP Ravi Yadav, and though we not necessarily run behind gold (laughs), we do run behind the making of a blockbuster movie. Players is one project we feel we've put a lot into. Every film we make is bigger than our previous movie and we'll make sure that it's as good an investment as gold. "Bobby plays a magician in the movie who creates illusions" Bobby Deol is the surprise package in the movie. He plays a magician in the movie who creates illusions. It will take the audiences by surprise. He has been a dear friend and he's the only actor who has worked with us in most of our movies. He's a sweet chap and his acting abilities are really underrated. We've got the best out of him. "Abhishek made us wear black jackets after a lot of persistence" The great thing about Abhishek Bachchan is that he will listen to you carefully throughout the entire narration. But on the sets, he is a complete director's actor. He will only do what the director tells him. He told us, "I want to go with your conviction and your vision. Please tell me what to do and I will do just that". And of course as we all know, he is a complete prankster. He did make us wear black jackets (laughs). "We met AB's and Aishwarya's cute little daughter. Only time will tell whether she turns out to be a prankster like her dad" We met Abhishek and Aishwarya's kid. She is so cute and adorable. She did give us the look just like Abhishek Bachchan does (laughs). Only time will tell whether she turns out to be a prankster like AB (laughs).

2011 has been quite a vibrant year what with films like Haunted, Shaitan, Ra.One and the varied genres releasing to either a good or unfortunately a bad place at the box-office. With all the 107 films released this year, remaining unique from another, one aspect that forms the common thread in the creative process is the post-production, playing a crucial part in making those films complete. Whether it is 3D stereoscopic filmmaking with ghouls coming towards you in Haunted or pulling off a heist in Berlin in Don 2, the industry is turning the spotlight to innovative filmmaking techniques and post-production process to unleash its inconceivable power. It may perhaps be its visual effects that can make a train destroy the iconic CST station in Ra.One or make Ranbir croon to a larger audience in Rockstar; Indian filmmakers are achieving bigger post-production feats every passing year with their films. Bollywood Hungama explores 2011 a visually effective year in story telling, collaborative efforts and what's in store for the future of digital filmmaking. One of the biggest accomplishments in Indian filmmaking and post-production this year was that, we saw the first 3D stereoscopic film coming to fore with Haunted, a horror film directed by the maverick Vikram Bhatt. The unconventional director shared a common fact that now 3D stereoscopy has become quite a stable platform to make films with since it is not an experimental platform anymore. The director also emphasizes on the fact that 3D theatres are rampant everywhere in the country streaming a lot of 3D content every week. With Haunted being the first stereoscopic film in the country, this trend of stereoscopic filmmaking will prominently gain momentum soon. With the more recent Ra.One, being lauded for its VFX for being almost in par with some of the work churned out from Hollywood's post-production stables, Indian productions are adopting the collaborative post-production effort to beckon better quality VFX and other post-production efforts. Merzin Tavaria, VFX supervisor of Ra.One from Prime Focus, shone light on the 3D conversion process which was conducted simultaneously along with the VFX process saying that with about 4400 shots, it was difficult to manage the conversion process, we broke down each shot and designed on what parts of the frame needs to be pulled up or pushed back. To achieve the VFX in the film, Red Chillies VFX studios and Eyeqube Studios collaborated along with Prime Focus and its global arm in delivering quality post-production work, in a span of six months altogether. One of the largest post-production houses in India, Pixion Studios, contributes VFX for most of the big banner Bollywood films like, Singham, Force, Shaitan to name a few. With Indian cinema leaving a hint of more stereoscopic conversion productions such as Ra.One, Viral Thakkar, CG VFX head of Pixion Studios Mumbai, downplayed the thought of Pixion Studios having a stereoscopic conversion setup in the country at the moment, due to an abundance of projects in its way. Pixion has not had the opportunity to look towards the stereoscopic fragment although the plan ultimately will include a state of the art setup available. With us inching closer to 2012, according to Viral, Indian cinema is going to expect a surge with VFX swinging upwards. He says, "I think most of the films are going to be in 3D, we have just delivered the VFX for Don 2; the film has been converted into 3D at Reliance Mediaworks. The quality plays a very big role if you are converting the films and if the quality is not right then the audience might experience these so called 'headaches'. I think for 2012, Bollywood is definitely going the 3D way at least where the big VFX and Bollywood films are concerned." "The doors have already been opened with Ra.One and Don 2. I think we should see a jump in stereoscopic 3D productions for sure, with a lot of new theatres being equipped and the market witnessing the difference on the revenue that a 3D film can generate, I think there's a big upward trend in here for sure. Although Rockstar does not have very loud VFX in it, it's all invisible and very narrative. I give a, thumbs up to directors who are making this upward trend happen," says an optimistic Merzin on the scale of projects and quality work to hit the Indian post-production scene. "Krrish 3 is going to go on floors in 2012, so there's big movement towards that production and Agent Vinod is going to make a mark as well." Merzin concludes with some of the projects in sight for Prime Focus.
