Hyderabad-based Makuta VFX delivers visual effects of Makkhi : Bollywood News

With some trepidation we replied with a resounding Yes it can be done

Initially, the discussion Makuta had with S.S. Rajamouli was is it possible? We just finished Maryada Rammana, the Telugu version of Son of Sardaar with him and the original conversation turned to this quick experimental feature that he was going to do; this was a short footstep for him to play with some recent technology and see if a feature film could be rendered out in this way. The budget was exceptionally low at this time, so the visual effects were straight-forward, however as the script advanced and the budget increased, the treatment turned into a larger scale job which needed a significant amount of advanced effects work. With some trepidation we replied with a resounding yes it can be done. However, at that time, the issues that we would encounter later such as physically getting the back-plates and angles required for the shots, were not known. This was not due to visual effects but more because of the limitations of the physical camera rig setups on set; visual effects had to fill the gaps, which increased our workload and shot count substantially.

Finally delivered the last shot of the South Indian version Eega in late June 2012

From the initial brainstorming sessions with the director, right through the character design sketches and storyboarding, Makuta started working on the initial treatment of the feature film in late 2010. It had been an extensive process with a lot of development and pre-production which was required for the film prior to shooting a single roll of film. We finally delivered the last shot of the South Indian version Eega in late June 2012 and the last shot of the Hindi version Makkhi delivered the following September due to additional corrections for version tailoring; we had some additional tweaks to shots that the director did not like with the Telugu version.
