My film has more FX than ‘Krrish’: Harry Baweja
Producer-director Harry Baweja proclaimed his forthcoming “Love Story 2050″, will be more popular than “Krrish” as he has hired technicians involved with films like “Lord Of The Rings”.
Thirty years ago, Hollywood got us Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone doing ‘Terminator’ and ‘Rocky’. It was all about letting the machismo hang out. Today, the concept of the actioner and the action hero has changed.
“Overt beefy jungle-man tactics are out. Today’s audience is the subtle urban multiplex audience,” Baweja told .
Though “Love Story 2050″ moves through two different time zones and two eras, Baweja says he has learnt a lesson from the “Jodhaa Akbar” experience. He is trying to keep this film short.
“Mine is an epic kind of film. The story needs to move smoothly in time. The time factor is a problem. We tried to get it down to two hours and 30 minutes, but we’ll have to keep it at two hours and 50 minutes.”
“We divided the FX in ‘Love Story 2050′ over five international studios. Technicians involved with films like ‘Lord Of The Rings’ are part of our film.”
There’s been infinite delay in the release of the movie.But Baweja says it is because of the special effect, which takes a lot of time.
“We started shooting on Sep 3, 2006, and finished in March 2007. Any special effects film is bound to take that long… not to compare myself with anyone else. But my film has 10 times more FX than ‘Krrish’.”
“We’ve something called animatronics in our film. That took inordinately long. It required a six-month waiting period. One year before that we applied for copyrights for designs.”
Speaking about his son, he says: “Harman is being targeted at the youth. He’s young, energetic and part of the Gen X, so he’s being given a launch where the audience gets to feel the excitement of a spectacle. This time my responsibilities are tremendous.”
“Like Hrithik, Harman understands cinema and the camera. That really helps. He’s a fast learner and growing by the day. He has been learning very fast. Even if I weren’t his father, I’d rate him very highly.”
