After ‘Kalki 2898 AD,’ which re-introduced 3D format and drew appreciation the world over, ‘Jai Hanuman’ would also be enthralling viewers in this exciting format. “It would be very challenging work for director Prashanth Varma who is doing all the pre-production work and set to deliver another visual spectacle,” he says and adds, “They are just waiting for a nod for a big star to play Lord HanuMan while doing other visual effects and stuff and getting to launch a big-ticket entertainer around the story of Lord Hanuman who arrives in Kaliyug and the issues he tackles thereafter,’ he adds.
The source also claims that the practice of shooting films in 3D format stopped long ago and nowadays it is only conversion that is happening without missing out on the visual splendor and thrills offered by the format. “It will be 2D to 3D conversion but it also requires a lot of creative and imaginative skills and also to be more in tune with Hollywood films which use this format with utmost care and conviction,’ he adds.
