Sudeep collaborates with director Anup Bhandari, known for creating immersive cinematic worlds in his films like RangiTaranga and Vikrant Rona. Their latest big-budget project, Billa Ranga Baashaa (BRB), is a futuristic action-adventure set in the year 2209, blending elements of science fiction and mythology. Anup Bhandari highlights the importance of world-building, where intricate universes are crafted to provide a rich backdrop for storytelling and character development. The idea for BRB originated years ago and has evolved to meet the changing landscape of cinema, focusing on faster pacing and engaging presentation styles. Both Sudeep and Anup Bhandari view their work on BRB as a responsibility to deliver a unique cinematic experience.We have a specific vision for how we want to present our work, and we are both dedicated to achieving that. Working with Sudeep has been a dream of mine since my college days. Collaborating with him on a second film feels incredibly surreal. Beyond our professional partnership, Sudeep is like family to us. Our strong bond and shared passion for cinema make our collaboration truly special. Our journey together, from Vikrant Rona to Billa Ranga Baashaa, has been a unique experience. I have grown to understand his perspective and mindset to a great extent, which has made working with him easier. Rather than viewing it as solely our individual responsibility to execute a large project, we both see it as a duty to uphold the standards of cinema. Anup Bhandari reflects on working with Sudeep for the second time "THE FILM EMBRACES A DYSTOPIAN THEME WITH DISTINCT SEGMENTS SET WITHIN A UNIQUE WORLD." Billa Ranga Baashaa is set in the year 2209 for a specific purpose. Recent successful films in theaters have all prioritized providing a captivating cinematic experience, regardless of budget. In BRB, we depart from traditional mythological themes and instead explore a futuristic setting unlike what audiences have seen before in franchises like Star Wars, Mad Max, or Kalki. Our approach is partly dystopian, offering a fresh visual aesthetic with various distinct segments within this futuristic world. I have carefully curated the color palette of the film to avoid appearing dull or monotonous, collaborating closely with my core team. In simpler terms, I envision a blend of color reminiscent of how Disney would bring vibrancy to a Mad Max-like universe - that's the direction we're headed in (laughs)!"When considering the current technological landscape, AI can serve as a valuable supportive tool but cannot replace human decision-making and creativity in its current state.A comprehensive tool may help to visualize an entire concept effectively. While AI can generate images based on inputs, achieving a precise representation of what is envisioned in one's mind may require human intervention, as noted by Anup Bhandari discussing the use of Artificial Intelligence in the creation of the Billa Ranga Baashaa concept video. The video offers a glimpse into a future scenario set in the year 2209, featuring the destruction of iconic landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty, Eiffel Tower, and Taj Mahal, with one individual appearing to have achieved dominance. Additionally, the video showcases three distinct climatic conditions. Through the announcement teaser, Anup Bhandari has intricately woven numerous details for the audience to unravel the hidden references.
