Vikram-Amy Jackson starrer ‘I’ directed by Shankar has completed its censor formalities with U/A certificate from the board. Produced by Aascar Films, the film which has music composed by AR Rahman is set to hit the screens.
With the movie estimated to be made at whopping budget of over Rs 150 crore, the makers have decided to go to revising committee to appeal for a ‘U’ certificate which will help them get tax exemption. AR Rahman composed ‘I’ songs are topping charts and the trailer which was released a couple of days back has raised the expectation for the film that is set to hit the screen for Pongal on 9 January, 2015.
But, what’s really worth noting is the director has managed to rope in Weta Workshop to deliver the special make-up which is required for the characters in the feature film.
Weta Workshop is a special effects and prop company based in Miramar, New Zealand, producing effects for television and film.
It came to worldwide prominence with director Peter Jackson’s film trilogy The Lord of the Rings, producing sets, costumes, armour, weapons, creatures and miniatures. It supported the creation of Reclaiming the Blade (2009), a documentary film on stage combat, historical European and Asian swordsmanship.
