Shirish Kunder the multi-talented husband of director Farah Khan has confirmed that they are embarking on making the first Bollywood film in 3D, called JOKER. The lead male role for the film will be played by Bollywood action star, Akshay Kumar.
Kunder confirmed on his Twitter account that he is making the film, he tweeted, ‘Yes we are making JOKER in 3D.’
The film is Kunder’s dream project and he has delayed it until he felt the time was right to start the project. Most people think that JOKER is going to be a superhero movie but it’s not the case. Originally it was scripted to be a superhero movie but Shrish said he has changed the concept.
Speaking about the changes to the film, Shrish said in a recent interview: “I have changed it and reworked the entire story of the film. The new Joker, since I had the rights to the name, will be like any other commercial Bollywood pot boiler, but one thing for sure is that Joker will differ in terms of its innovation, unlike anything what we have seen till date.”
Shirish has been inspired by the success of James Cameron’s Hollywood blockbuster ‘Avatar’ and saw lots of scope to utilise the techniques for the visuals of JOKER in terms of live animation.
However, Shirish is not looking at using CGI (computer generated imagery) for the film as used in Avatar. The way Avatar was made is not fully applicable to Kunder’s project. “Using the camera James Cameron developed will not be a suitable option. For my film, we will use the available stereoscopic camera since with that we can shoot the entire project in 3D, like shooting a normal film.” he said talking about the camera options.
When Kunder was asked about why he chose to do a movie specifically in 3D, he replied, “Coming to the whole 3D aspect of the film, if we look back it was always there, but seldom used for the sole reason that we didn’t have the right technology to screen and view the film.”
