For the first crash in which the protagonists Armaan Kapoor meets with an accident with his Hyundai Sonata into the sea, we took pictures of Mumbai as reference and made digital matte paints, to recreate the skyline in Pondicherry and made it look like Mumbai.<BR><BR> <br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p><amp-img width=1.33 height=1 layout=responsive src=https://images.bollywoodhungama.com/img/feature/12/dec/vfxtalaash06.jpg></amp-img><BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>The action team rigged up a ramp for the car to plunge into the sea, so we recreated the promenade. We added CGI steps which acted as a ramp for the car to climb on; this had to be cleaned up. We modeled a CGI version of the car for one shot because it was not possible for the action team to shoot with a real car hitting the steps and plunging into the sea at a high speed. We added dust, debris and sparks to enhance the impact of the car hitting the CGI steps. The challenge was to make the car look real as it inter-cuts with other live action car shots.</span>
