SRK, Yash Raj films & Rajinikanth clash!

As interesting as the headline is the story itself. If reports smoking out of Bollywood are to be believed then we can witness the clash of Titans, we mean with regards to the film industry.

Red Chillies VFX, Yash Raj FIlms and Rajinikanth's daughter Soundarya's Ocher Studios will be vying with each other in the National Association of Broadcasters show to be held in Las Vegas on April 15.

The three production houses will also be making their presentations. Reports suggest that the production houses will also extend their service to not just desi but foreign films as well. The highest billing among these three production houses has been given to given to SRK's Red Chillies VFX. Not to mention that SRK's production has ventured into making animation films as well.

Rajinikanth's Ocher Studios has ventured in to the production and making of the animated film 'Sultan - The warrior', with a whooping budget of 70 crore rupees. Reports indicate that there is tough competition existing between Red Chillies VFX and Ocher Studios. And with Yash Raj films too coming out with an animation film titled 'Roadside Romeo' the competition is getting stiffer.

Now the best we can do is just wait till the calender turns April 15th and watch who gets picked as the best!

Tata Elxsi has announced that its animation and visual effects arm Visual Computing Labs (VCL), will be the partner of Yash Raj Films (YRF) in their collaboration with Walt Disney, which will create a series of original and exclusive 3D animated feature films.The first in the series is an animated film 'Roadside Romeo' directed by Jugal Hansraj, which is slated for release in 2008.

This will be India's first original full-length 3D animated film. As part of the alliance, VCL will bring the animation capability to this and other future projects, in close collaboration with YRF's creative team. VCL and YRF enjoy a close working relationship with VCL having done all of the visual effects for YRF films in the recent years including Fanaa, Kabul Express and Dhoom 2, in which VCL pioneered the 'Virtual-Set' methodology for Indian cinema and was the largest special effect work till date for any movie, Ta Ra Rum Pum, which was the most interesting Indian feature project to date, in terms of scope, length of work and complexity and also marked the first time that such a significant 3D Animation sequence was introduced in a mainstream film on Indian screens.Pankaj Khandpur, Creative Director, VCL said, "This alliance is a step up in the long standing relationship between VCL and YRF. We were a natural choice for YRF given our experience in International projects, the corporate nature of our set up and our stability, expertise and the credibility of the Tata brand name.

VCL has been continuously raising the bar as far as animation and special effects are concerned.""Having worked with Yash Raj in all their recent productions, they did not have to look beyond VCL when it came to selecting a partner to provide animation and special effects in our future projects under the Walt Disney alliance.

We are confident in our ability to create entertaining projects for the Indian audience, which will be on par with other Disney productions as far as the quality of computer animations go. We hope to deliver original animated hits which are as iconic as any of Disney's characters in India," added Khandpur.
