    Vijay Starrer Puli to Have More Graphics than Baahubali

    While the world is lauding visual effects used in Baahubali, it is revealed that Vijay starrer Puli will have more graphical content than the S.S. Rajamouli’s film. R.C Kamalakannan, Puli’s computer graphics supervisor, told New Indian Express, “When Chimbudevan and I initially designed the film, they wanted to incorporate 2,600 scenes with graphics. When we worked on Naan Ee, there were 1,200 scenes and in Magadheera, there were 1,600. So, out of curiosity, I asked Rajamouli how many scenes they had done in CG in Baahubali and he said that it was just about 2,000”.

    Comparing the graphical content of Baahubali with that of Puli, Kamalakannan said, “There were so many parts of Baahubali where you knew that it was done with graphics. That sort of defeats the purpose because we don’t want people to know which is which. Entire forests, armies, castles and wars may be done with CG but people should think its real. We’re trying to make sure people can’t spot the differences in Puli”.

    Kamalakannan also revealed that there were about 160 freelance animators involved in the project across the world. “We have a common workflow management system that allots this work to animators in Russia, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Netherlands, Iran and in studios in Chennai and Bangalore. Everybody’s on edge because we are working on a tight timeline and they want the film finished before September”, he added.
