Interview with Kajal Agarwal
How do you feel working in ‘Magadheera’?
I must first thank God for this opportunity. ‘Magadheera’ happened to me unexpectedly. This is one of the best opportunities to prove myself as an actress. For the first time I played dual role and both characters have a lot to emote. It is a thrilling experience to say, as I use to play the princess one day and the very next day a modern girl.
What is the specialty of the two roles you played?
It is known to all that the film is a love story on rebirth concept. The first character is the princess whose name is Mitrabrinda while the second character Indhu belongs to the modern age, i.e., after the re-birth of princess. She is a fashion designer. Since both characters belong to different ages, right from my costumes, body language, dialogues etc., has lots of contrast.
You have not done any mythological roles before. Then how did you manage to portray the princess role?
Yes! I took training in horse riding and sword fighting for the princess role. In some of the scenes without a single dialogue I needed to express through my eyes. Rajamouli sir would never okay the scene until he felt that I gave the right kind of expression.
Is there any horse riding and sword fighting scenes for you too?
As I said before one of characters in the film is princess and one has to watch the film to really understand the context.
How was it doing these scenes?
I use to feel as if I have gone back to hundreds of years ago. This movie is a very special one for me and the shooting experiences are the most unforgettable ones in my life.
Your working experience with Ram Charan Teja?
He is an amazing co-star. His performance, fights and dances are simply superb. It was a great experience while shooting the horse riding scenes.
Magadheera - 3 week shares of MD in Guntur - Centre wise

Magadheera Phenomenon- 26 to 35 on 5th week
The ‘Magadheera’ mania has been on its heat since the day of its release and there have been many stories of people not getting tickets and getting back home. But now, all is about to change in the city of Hyderabad and the movie lovers.
Apparently, the makers have now increased the theatres from the existing 26 to 35 in twin cities which is a record in itself. Their objective is to meet the Family audience requirement and at the same time curtail the black marketers.
Now, with the increase in the theaters, across the counter ticket sales are happening which has helped the family audiences in a big way. Never before has any movie increased its theatres in such a large manner and that too after so many days of its release
Allu Arjun has hands full till 2010
Allu Arjun is the only top hero in Tollywood who is doing three films simultaneously. While most heroes are trying hard to finish one film at a time, he is effortlessly working on two films at one go. So one wonders how would he do another film - a supposedly remake of a Hindi film at this time? Close associates of the star rubbish the rumors of Allu Arjun signing a Hindi remake. As of now, Allu Arjun has signed only the following films..
1. Aarya 2 (under progress)
2. Gunashekar’s film (under progress)
3. Vedham (under progress)
4. Badrinath (V V Vinayak is the director and it will begin next year)
He has to finish all these films by 2010. After that he will be working in a ‘big film’ that is currently under discussion stage.
Komaram Puli script convinced me : Manoj Bajpai
He was in hyderabad for 15 days for schedule of his other movie in telugu and spoke to media.
He said that he feared to act in languages that he can't speak but Komaram Puli's script convinced him and he agreed
It's official - Magadheera Crossed Pokiri
The Magadheera Mania has been taking over the entire southern circuit and now, it has become the talk of the nation. For now, the film has become the largest grosser with its latest figures in the history of the Telugu cinema. This means that Mahesh Babu's Pokiri is finally stepping down.
Official reports say that Magadheera has collected a whopping share of Rs 46 crores share after just the first three weeks of release. The theaters are still showing maximum capacity and this would mean that the movie will sail through the 50 day mark without a hitch.
While it is not sure where this mania will end but then the Telugu industry folks are happy with the fact that this has elevated the industry to a different level. Also, hero Ramcharan Teja seems to have come up with a riveting performance in this which has promoted him to be a better league actor.

Why is Magadheera better than Pokiri?
Interesting comparision between pokiri and magadheera
Add the alphabets in Magadheera.M+A+G+A+D+H+E+E+R+A=63=6+3=9
Similarly do it for pokiri as well,P+O+K+I+R+I = 78=7+8=15=1+5=6
This proves magadheera is 11/2 times more hit than pokiri.
Similarly strike off similar alphabets from Magadheera & ram charan tej = total 7 letters vl b common. but compare pokiri and mahesh babu.Not even 1 letter is common.So ram charan’s action in movie is 7 times more better than mahesh.
Pokiri contain POK which means pakistan occupied kashmir which means something is against india but if u observe magadheera,it contains era which can be converted to yera(which is widely used for calling friends in telugu),which brings friendly feeling.
Pokiri contains kiri which means kirikiri.So something is fishy. Magadheera contains heera,which means diamond.So something is shining.
Pokiri contains Po which means go away and is not inviting audience. Magadheera contains Ra which means come and is inviting audience.
Pokiri contains ok which says ok for evrything which may create trouble. Magadheera contains ee which can be converted to ye? in telugu which means Y?So it’s questioning for everything which means it’s like look before u leap and not like guddeddu chelo padatam.
Pokiri contains pori which means gal in telugu.So it’s not abt hero and so it mite be sentimental movie.(Which also proves that Mahesh babu contains she). Magadheera contains maga which means guy in telugu.So it’s abt hero and so it mite be action movie. Ram Charan Tej contains He.(So manly name)
MagaDHEERa movie title and KEERavani are matching. Pokiri and Manisharma are not matching
Pokiri and Puri are matching.Magadheera and Rajamouli are not matching.But this doesn’t work for directors as per international laws of comparision Act.1998
So hence proved that magadheera is better than Pokiri
Making of Magadheera visual effects
Copyright M/s Geetha Arts & Adel Adili - 14 march 2008 |
Erected Set – King’s seating area & waterfall mountain |
Erected set – People gallery & Entrance tower |
In India, most 3d computer graphics are happening in 8-bit colour depth, which is much inferior to the colour depth of film negative. That’s why, when we composite live & CG, the CG looks separate from the live “plate”. The only way to do a perfect composite is to follow the same colour-bit depth of the film negative. It needs an experienced, dedicated team to do so. As the VFX producer of the film my job is to find suitable studio/freelancer to deliver utmost quality at proper budget on time. So, we brought in Mr.Pete Draper of UK as our Pipeline Technical Director. Pete had worked with me in Ghajini ( Hindi). His knowledge in Pipeline setup, Renderfarm setup, 3D Particle flows are impeccable. He had also penned many 3D technical books. With the right mix of theoretical & practical knowledge, Pete landed at Hyderabad during the Stadium shooting, which was happening under EFX Prasad’s supervision.
I was in Iran during the schedule, finalising the CG stadium and City with Adel. The major portion of the film was shot in Anamorphic but to minimise the distortion, super 35 camera gate & lenses were used for the stadium episode. The Post-Production of the stadium was given to Prasad EFX, Chennai, a well-known facility. Headed by Mr.Hima Kumar, it has rich experience and had the right people to do the final composite. The producer gave me enough encouragement ( and budget ) to set-up our own Renderfarm in Chennai. The Pipeline, Pete set up, for the post is the “heart” of the process. EFX was lucky to’ve got him as TD. They won’t go back to 8-bit comp ever.
The post process was in several stages, after the scan. 3d-tracking, (or blocking for steady shots), export/import the tracked camera in the 3d-software, setup the light to match the live plate, render the back-ground plates, composite it and deliver. The live stadium had only 7 steps, in which live people were positioned in 6 steps. The remaining 12 steps are CG extension. Adel has done the 3d CG people to fill the CG steps and their actions, in a library of 3000 frames
live plate |
CG stadium Extension |
CG Extension with 3d people |
So a typical composite will have live layer, Stadium layer, 3d people layer, sky layer, flags layer, digital soldiers layer & birds layer. ( All in several 16-bit file passes.) Pete has designed the Birds (particles) in two flows, one “flow” kept on “flying” around the stadium and the other flow takes off from a position dome and lands on a target dome. Director had used the birds in several shots effectively. Also the huge balloons over the live set denote where the CG structure to be positioned later in post and served as a reference for the 3d lighting.
It all went like clock work. On finishing stages of the stadium composite, I ventured to Iran again to work with Adel for the 3d city shots. The city-shots created entirely in CG. The shots where the two horses enter the city gates and the one fly-thru, which travels along the city and ends on top of the Lion’s wings are treat to watch. When we started the city-shot renders, it has taken several hours to render one frame. But Adel re-corrected the geometry and applied several path breaking ideas, so, even on 24th July, just a week before the film release, we were able to do corrections, render and submit. Adel designed the 3d horses with hero & villain and Pete designed the 3d people flocking behind the horses. Perfect team work.
