The secret behind Deepika's dance in OSO
Stage
1
The
team
had
to
locate
the
original
footage
of
the
films
they
had
short
listed.
The
three
song
sequences
appeared
in
Amrapali
(1966,
Sunil
Dutt
and
Vyjayantimala),
Saccha
Jhutha
(1970,
Rajesh
Khanna
and
Mumtaz)
and
Jay-Vijay
(1977,
Jeetendra
and
Jayashree
T).
Not
always
in
the
best
condition,
the
original
footage
had
to
be
scanned,
carefully
restored
and
cleaned
up
to
the
best
possible
quality
on
the
computers.

Keeping
in
mind,
the
set
of
the
films,
the
camera
angles
and
the
lighting,
Deepika
Padukone
was
shot
in
present
dressed
in
similar
costumes
as
the
yesteryear
actresses
to
further
enhance
that
'70's
look.
She
pretended
to
dance
with
the
actors
by
romancing
an
imaginary
hero.

The
original
actresses,
i.e.
Vyjanthimala,
Mumtaz
and
Jayashree
T.
were
removed
from
the
sequences.
All
this
of
course,
was
done
with
the
help
of
the
Red
Chillies" VFX
(visual
effects)
team.
Sequences
where
the
camera
was
moving
and
the
actors
were
in
contact
were
specially
chosen,
so
as
to
provide
opportunity
for
Deepika
to
dance
along
with
them
as
opposed
to
posing.
Things
to
note
were
the
eye
contact
between
the
actors,
physical
touch,
lighting
continuity,
perspective
matching,
skin
tones
matching,
color
matching,
etc.

Deepika's
footage
was
pasted
in
place
of
the
actual
actresses" footage.
The
technical
term
for
this
is
compositing.
Thus,
it
seems
that
she
has
been
locked
in
the
same
frame
as
legends,
Sunil
Dutt,
Rajesh
Khanna
and
Jeetendra.
The
song
truly
was
a
treat
to
watch.
And
now
some
of
our
wonder
and
amazement
has
been
satisfied.
Keitan
Yadav,
COO
of
Red
Chillies
VFX
asserted
that
the
idea
was
to
give
a
feel
of
the
era
and
is
glad
that
they
seemed
to
have
succeeded.
He adds that "there are about 200 additional shots in the film where VFX is used like the snow-flakes in the globe, SRK and Deepika turning real and dancing in the globe, the Mother India fire sequence, Shantipriya"s death sequence and the climax sequence."
