Certain technologically-challenging sequences were also achieved using VFX such as Computer Generated Imagery (CGI) and tracking. In fact, the film’s opening shot, which captures underwater corals and aquatic life and moves onto a display a school of fish in a net, has CGI elements to it. Talking about it, Tavaria says, “The trouble in shooting the long shot was that the minute the camera came close to the fish, most of them would scatter away, leaving little fish in the net. It was only after encountering this issue that we decided to create a school of CGI fish. It was a challenge for us as well since we not just had to research on the texture and body types of the different fish, but also make sure they swim differently yet in the same direction and don’t bang into each other. We had to make sure that the CGI blended well with the real fish.”

Yet another sequence where the live action shortcomings were managed by computer wizardry is a bike sequence featuring Zayed Khan. “The scene featuring Zayed jumping off the bike and hopping onto a train has been attempted for real. However, the moving train and the impact Zayed’s jump has on it is computer generated. The stunt was carried against a chroma screen. In the same sequence, he also jumps off the train right in front of the engine. This was shot with cables which were removed via compositing,” elaborates Tavaria. And the most complex of all the scenes in the entire sequence was the one requiring the camera to rotate 360 degrees when one of the characters lands onto the train’s roof. “Since it was practically impossible to do this live, the entire scene was animated. Each of the elements-train, character, bike and the background - were created separately. They were later put together and animated,” he offers.
