Mumbai: The Hrithik Roshan-Katrina Kaif starrer Bang Bang may still be four months away from release, but its first half is entirely ready. The team has used a live editing technology, after each scene was filmed, which in turn has given them more time to work on the special effects. “When we came back from our first schedule in Thailand, we already had the scenes in order. So before we moved on to our next schedule, our scenes were edited and ready with colour correction which saved a lot of time,” a unit member told us. Also, director Siddharth Anand has shot multiple sequences of action scenes, which need a lot of VFX work. The faster the footage was edited, the more time the team had to work on VFX.
Our source added, “As of now, our scenes with Hrithik and Katrina in Thailand, Greece, Shimla, Manali, Delhi are ready. A high-octane chase sequence, which Hrithik shot for in our recently concluded shoot at Abu Dhabi, is currently on the VFX table. We have locked our first half and started work on the second half.” Bang Bang is slated for release on October 2. Will more Bollywood films adopt the live editing technology? It should definitely cut down on post-production time.
