RRR’s SS Rajamouli to Hanu-Man fame Prashant Varma – Meet 5 directors who are experimenting visually with heavy-duty VFX

Over the years, the quality of content produced by Indian cinema has grown considerably. Not only in terms of storytelling, but also with technical aspects like VFX, many Indian filmmakers are taking Indian films to Hollywood level. Be it SS Rajamouli who surprised us with Baahubali and RRR, or Ayan Mukerji who gave us a never seen before look from Brahmastra. Now joining this brigade of mavericks with an amazing approach in VFX is director Prashant Verma who is surely going to change the game with Hanu-Mana.

Here are 5 directors who know how to make the best use of VFX:

1. Ayan Mukerji (Brahmastra)

Director Ayan Mukerji has relied heavily on VFX for his trilogy Brahmastra. Part One: With Shiva enthralling the audience, the director truly showed everyone what wonders VFX can do if used brilliantly.

2. Prashant Verma (Hanu-Mana)

Sometime back director Prashant Verma had announced his Cinematic Universe PVCU. While Hanu-Mann is the first film under it, it is going to be quite a game changer with its VFX. In fact, Prashant’s vision for the film is unreal and something that will definitely make this young director a force to be reckoned with in Indian cinema.

3. Sanjay Leela Bhansali (Padmavat)

While we all know that Sanjay Leela Bhansali is a legend among Bollywood filmmakers, he is celebrated for the films that he brings to the big screen. Elaborate sets, great storytelling and of late spectacular VFX have also been SLB’s hallmark. Especially in Padmavat, SLB aced his VFX game to a great extent and left many spellbound.

4. SS Rajamouli (Baahubali and RRR)

Director SS Rajamouli is to South cinema what SLB is to Bollywood. In fact, Rajamouli is a genius, maverick whose RRR won India an Oscar last year. Having said that, Rajamouli is one of the pioneers to change the narrative of Indian cinema with breathtaking VFX in Baahubali and then RRR.

5. Prashant Neel (KGF)

Another director who enthralled the audience was Prashant Neel who relied majorly on VFX in his films KGF and KGF 2. Not only did he use VFX brilliantly, but he also showed how a well-executed VFX-heavy story can turn out to be a success. ,
