How Hollywood adds sheen to Bollywood biggies

New Delhi:  Did the trailers of “Panipat” and “Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior” remind you of “Game Of Thrones”? Or the action of “War” and “Saaho” bring memories of “Mission Impossible”? Well, that’s because the canvas of Bollywood is getting glossier, with the creative geniuses of Hollywood increasingly working on Bollywood projects.
From action gurus, stunt directors, VFX experts, cinematographers, musicians, make-up experts, technicians to physical trainers, talent from the West is being roped in to deliver world-standard content in Hindi films.
Experts from Hollywood The trend of roping in experts from Hollywood is not new, but something which is growing popular with filmmakers acquiring global sensibilities, and the Indian audience getting receptive towards foreign content.
With larger-than-life Hollywood movies, backed up with advanced make-up and technology techniques, high on breathtaking action sequences and on point cinematography, winning hearts in India, Indian filmmakers are updating the look of the project to match up with their foreign counterpart.
Star-driven vehicles such as Salman Khan’s “Tiger Zinda Hai”, “Race 3”, “Bharat”, Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff-starrer “War”, Akshay Kumar’s “Kesari” and Rishi Kapoor’s “Kapoor & Sons” are infused with Hollywood mastery.
“Now that we are used to watching global content, from films to content on Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, people have more expectations. They want everything to look good. It makes a difference. The production value, the look and lighting has to be on par with the Hollywood standard. It works well for all as it improves the whole get up of the project,” trade expert Rajesh Thadani told IANS.
