MUMBAI: According to sources, Chennai-based Vrindaavan Films and director Maneesh F Singh are said to be working on an Indian version of the epic Hollywood romantic disaster film Titanic, originally written and directed by James Cameron, with 50 per cent of the visuals and content of the film produced by AI.
While 50 percent of the film is likely to be created using AI and VFx, the rest of the film content will be shot in Uttar Pradesh and primarily on the outskirts of Lucknow, with Mumbai fitness model and actor Swati Apsara Rai as the face and voice of the project.
Swati Apsara Rai, sources said has been shortlisted by the studio for the project, but no official confirmation was forthcoming.
The maverick director is known for his ‘different’ choice when it comes to film making and has worked on ‘off-beat’ subjects in the past.
The story is based in the 1800s and depicts an Indian Maharaja who travels to England on a massive ship. While the ship eventually sinks on the return voyage, the Maharaja, his wife, the Maharani and some members of his entourage are saved by a passing ship.
Speaking to this reporter, Maneesh F Singh said, “Bollywood is famous for its big budget films. My project is both fictional and historical. There are factual elements – like the sinking of the ship, but otherwise the film is totally fictional. There are Indian passengers, Indian love and romance stories – only thing different in my film is that they will not be dancing around trees, but on the ship’s decks. It’s going to be a really huge ship. Maybe much bigger than the original Titanic. Our budget is in excess of Rs 500 crore and nearly 50 percent of the budget will go into VFx and AI imaginary.”
