VFX making of Bol Bachchan : Bollywood News

In the Jama Masjid sequence, the mosque seen in the film is actually recreated in CGI. In this sequence, Abhishek Bachchan and Asrani were shot against chroma backgrounds where they were seen talking on a terrace. Different rounds of discussions were held on the sequences as the entire outlook of the film progressed, Rohit briefed me on the sequences and then we shot it according to the plan chalked out. When Rohit shoots VFX sequences, theyre edited as soon as they are shot and passed on to us for the post-production process, elaborates Naveen.

To bring about the iconic Jama Masjid sequence, we went to Delhi and took pictures of the iconic mosque for our reference. In the movie, the live action elements visible were only the people moving about in the background around the mosque. We used a mix of a CGI generated model made using Mayas NURBS modeling method and projection mapping with the appropriate lighting to achieve this. There was no single approach as the sequence, the multiple plates made were then later merged and composited using Nuke.
