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.

Karishma Tanna injured on sets of 'Tina and Lolo'

“Since this is a full-fledged action film, it required the female lead to perform some heavy-duty action sequences. It was during one of these sequences that Karishma was injured. She was supposed to flip over Sunny Leone’s back and kick her but she applied a lot of strength and landed on the hard floor, hurting her knee,” says a source.

Interestingly, she is not the first one to get injured on the sets of this film. Recently, Sunny Leone was hurt while shooting another action sequence.

As per reports, Karishma replaced Minissha Lamba, who did not accept the offer as she was not comfortable doing a kissing scene with Sunny Leone in this film.

Superstar Shah Rukh Khan had injured himself on the sets of Farah Khan’s film ‘Happy New Year’ earlier this month.
