Threat to Leone’s presence in Indore

Unfazed by the threats from the saffron brigade, the team of Ragini MMS 2 — which stars Sunny Leone — has decided to visit Indore next week for the film’s promotions.

Bajrang Dal activists had taken exception to the former adult film actress’s entry into the city and even warned the owner of a mall against allowing the crew inside.

However, producer Ekta Kapoor is determined not to skip Indore from her list of promotion venues. “Indore is an important market and we have written to the authorities concerned seeking entry to certain places. At the end of the day, it is about connecting with the audience,” said Ekta.

Pinku Chhabbra, owner of the C-21 Mall that the Ragini MMS team has selected as a promotional venue, said, “Sunny’s past could be an issue with some people. We are aware that the Bajrang Dal members may create problems for us, but she is welcome to our mall.”

AR Rahman foresees an industry in motion capture technology

"Like there is Hollywood and Bollywood and the industry for south Indian films, there can be an entire industry on films made with this technology," he said at the audio launch of 'Kochadaiiyaan', directed by Rajinikanth's daughter Soundarya R Ashwin.

    

He recalled how the film's director Soundarya had put in efforts into making it and said he was sure it would succeed.

   

"When I came to Chennai from US, Soundarya told me about 'Kochadaiiyaan' which she said would get over in a year. I was wondering how and I took a week. By then, Rajini Sir had called up and I realised the kind of efforts going into this film. Then I decided to go ahead," Rahman said.

    

Motion or performance capture technology helps filmmakers record the movements of the actor -- in specially made suits, which capture the emotions, gestures and body language of the actor and translates it into animation.
