Director SS Rajamouli is once again raising the bar of Indian cinema with his upcoming film ‘Varanasi,’ starring Mahesh Babu<\/a> and Priyanka Chopra<\/a>. Known for his large-scale vision, Rajamouli has now introduced advanced motion capture technology for this project. Instead of depending only on real locations, he chose a modern method to create detailed visuals. This decision shows his focus on innovation. The film is expected to be one of the most expensive and technically advanced projects in Indian cinema.<\/span><\/p>\n

‘Varanasi’ uses advanced motion capture<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

<\/span>According to The Hollywood Reporter India, the team used the new A&M Motion Capture Lab at Annapurna Studios in Hyderabad. This facility, developed by Mihira Visual Labs and global partner Animatrik, is one of the most advanced in India. It offers 360-degree pre-visualization, real-time virtual production, and digital performance capture. Talking about the setup, the team shared, \u201cWe had to import cameras, install them, and train our local team within a fixed timeline.\u201d This shows how much effort went into building this high-end system for the film.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

‘Varanasi’ 25-minute action sequence shot<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

<\/span>A major highlight of ‘Varanasi’ is a 25-minute action sequence created using this technology. Using sensors, the team recorded the actors’ performances in a controlled setting. This method helped them recreate complex scenes with better control and more detail. One of the team members said, \u201cThe sequence will be almost 25 minutes long, and it is a thrilling scene.\u201d The technology allowed them to blend real action with digital effects, creating large-scale visuals. Actors like Mahesh Babu and Prithviraj Sukumaran<\/a> are said to be part of this sequence, making it even more exciting.<\/span><\/p>\n

SS Rajamouli pushes Indian cinema to a global level<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

<\/span>SS Rajamouli\u2019s use of this technology marks a big step for Indian cinema. Earlier, filmmakers had to depend on foreign studios for such work. Now, it can be done in India itself. The team revealed, \u201cWhen we showed Rajamouli the demo, he said everything is ready and asked to start shooting the next day.\u201d With parts already shot in Georgia and Hyderabad, the film is moving fast.<\/p>\n
