Secret Behind Rajini's Color In Shivaji

Secret behind Rajini's colour


If you have watched Sivaji ..You have observed the fair complexion of
Rajinikanth in the song Oru koodai Sunlight.Everyone thought it was make-up
that made Superstar Rajinikanth look like a European in that song, but the
secret is about a year of computer graphics.
"We used cutting edge grafting technology and it was Shankar's brain
child," revealed the film's cinematographer KV Anand. "For the first time
grafting technology has been used for an Indian film which was made
possible by a Chennai based company Indian Arts who had worked in Shankar's
earlier films," he said. One of the dancers, Jacky, was chosen by Shankar
and Rajini's skin tone was matched with her's. The six and a half minute
song was shot i n Spain.

"Each shot of Rajni's in the song was once again shot with Jacky and was
sent to Indian Arts. Since the lighting varies in indoor and outdoor, to
match the skin tone, expressions, lip and body movements of the two was a
challenging task," explained Anand. A total of 6700 frames were been for
post production. Rajinikanth himself was amazed after watching the song.

BROUGHT TO U BY SUNKAN

Dear Sunkan,

Thanks for the info. In U.S. Michael Jackson has changed his whole complexion from black to white by plastic surgery. First, when I saw Rajnikanth in fair colour I thought he has also been done plastic surgery. But, later in the movie he was back to his original colour and I was wondering how it has been done.Your info has clarified my doubts. Thanks.

Regards,
