The producers of the film have already spent crores on the film but director Shankar is contemplating on a 3D version, the conversion would be done digitally during post production (like in the new Harry Potter film). Shankar’s strategy is to bring audiences to the theater, and keep pirates at bay, in case you didn’t already know, his previous film ‘Jaggubhai’ was widely pirated, and was even available on the internet on the day of the release. The director was shown a 3D demo of the film by a leading special effects company, and was highly impressed by the result.


‘Endhiran’ has already broken a lot of records, AR Rahman is now the highest paid musician in India and Aishwarya Rai is the highest paid Bollywood actress of all time, with an upfront fee of Rs 6 crore. Aishwarya beat out the likes of Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone, Asin, Trisha Krishnan, Shriya Saran, Priyamani and Nayanthara who were approached to star in the film. Endhiran was filmed in Himachal Pradesh, the US, Vietnam, Brazil, with a song shot at the historic site of the Machu Picchu in Peru! Four hundred students from the Vellore Institute of Technology were used as extras in the film. The fight scenes in the film were choreographed by Yuen Woo-ping, who worked on ‘The Matrix’, the animatronics and puppetry were done by Hollywood’s Stan Winston Studios, the visual effects/CGI were rendered by Industrial Light & Magic. Endhiran releases on September 3, 2010.
