Don't want to make a film as grand as 'Baahubali': Rahman

May 7, 2017

New Delhi, May 7: Music maestro A R Rahman, who has made his directorial debut with a multisensory virtual reality film, doesn't believe that a grand war epic like "Baahubali" lends itself to the medium.

RahmanRahman's film "Le Musk", starring actors Nora Arnezeder, Guy Burnet, Munirih Grace and Mariam Zohrabyan, revolves around the sense of smell.

"Grandeur is too overwhelming in VR. You feel tired after sometime. For example, a war scene (like in 'Baahubali'), you could feel the pressure. In 3D, the pressure is felt farther," Rahman said in an interview here.

The Oscar-winning musician says it would be too expensive for him to replicate what S S Rajamouli has delivered.

"I don't want to make a film as grand as 'Baahubali' because we have other grander directors who can make such films. Plus, I don't have Rs 200 crore."

The musician says he wanted to create a beautiful world of visuals that don't affect the viewers negatively.

"I want to create the music, the beauty, the visuals. I want to create a world for people, so that they would never want to come out of it. I have even tried to portray the negative aspects of the story poetically, so that it doesn't bother you spiritually," he says.

"Le Musk" is his maiden project as a filmmaker and Rahman says he was ecstatic when PVR gave a positive response about making a film in VR.

"When I had this idea of making the film, we met people at PVR. We presented the idea and asked them to have a look at it as VR is the future."

Rahman says he does not take negative reviews to his heart as music is all about instincts.

"After a while you don't care (bad reviews). You feel an instinct that (good) music will happen. If it doesn't, you just go back. I believe that because I'm a spiritual person, there's a force that is helping me. I have good intentions. The people working with me have great ideas and that is the best we can do," Rahman says.

With "Le Musk", PVR is collaborating with YM Movies to bring the world's first VR multisensory episodic feature film.

Los Angeles, May 24: Filmmaker Frank Marshall, one of the producers behind Jurassic World: Dominion, says the forthcoming film is not a conclusion of the franchise.

Colin Trevorrow, who rebooted Steven Spielberg's blockbuster Jurassic Park franchise with 2015's Jurassic World, is back on the director's chair after sitting out on second movie Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018).

Asked about the upcoming movie, Marshall told Collider: "It's the start of a new era."

Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard are coming back for the third film, which will also feature original stars of 1993's Jurassic Park -- Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum and Sam Neill.

The producer also revealed how he sees the film franchise extending into the future.

"The dinosaurs are now on the mainland amongst us, and they will be for quite some time, I hope," Marshall said.

The film was three weeks into production when it was shut down over coronavirus concerns, but the producer said the team has the sets built in London and will be "back in business" once they have guidelines from the British government.

Dominion is still slated to be released on its scheduled date of June 11, 2021.
