Sudeep collaborates with director Anup Bhandari, who is known for creating immersive cinematic worlds in his films such as RangiTaranga and Vikrant Rona. Their latest project, Billa Ranga Baashaa (BRB), is a futuristic action-adventure set in the year 2209, blending elements of science fiction and mythology. Anup Bhandari emphasizes the importance of world-building in his films, creating detailed universes with unique geography, history, ecology, and culture to serve as a backdrop for complex narratives and characters to evolve. BRB, a long-awaited project conceptualized in the early 2000s, has evolved to suit the changing landscape of cinema, with a focus on engaging today's audience with a faster-paced and visually captivating presentation. Both Sudeep and Anup view BRB as a commitment to advancing the art of filmmaking.We have a specific presentation style in mind that we are both devoted to. Since my college days, I have always dreamed of working with Sudeep. Collaborating with him for a second film feels incredibly surreal. Beyond the realm of cinema, Sudeep feels like family to us. Our strong bond and shared passion for cinema make our collaboration amazing. Our journey together from Vikrant Rona to Billa Ranga Baashaa has been truly unique. I am able to understand his thoughts and perspective to a certain extent, which makes working with him easier. Instead of viewing it as an individual responsibility to execute a large project, we both see it as a responsibility to the world of cinema. Anup Bhandari discusses his experience working with Sudeep for the second time: "THE FILM HAS A DYSTOPIAN ELEMENT WITH VARIOUS SEGMENTS SET IN THIS WORLD." Billa Ranga Baashaa is set in the year 2209 for a specific reason. Recent successful films in theaters have offered a compelling communal experience. In BRB, the concept does not directly involve mythology. It is set in the future, but not in the typical futuristic styles seen in Star Wars or Mad Max. The movie takes a unique approach by exploring a dystopian world with different segments. The visual aesthetic of the film is carefully crafted to avoid a bland and bleak look. Anup Bhandari and his team have worked on incorporating vibrant colors to bring a unique style to the film. To simplify, it can be likened to imagining how Disney would approach a film like Mad Max in terms of color usage. Furthermore, while current AI tools can be helpful, they should be seen as supportive rather than primary resources.Utilizing AI alone can only assist in creating images based on provided inputs, but to accurately manifest a concept as envisioned, human involvement is crucial. Anup Bhandari discusses the use of Artificial Intelligence in the upcoming project "Billa Ranga BaashaaBRB Concept Video," offering a sneak peek into a futuristic world set in the year 2209. The video portrays iconic landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty, Eiffel Tower, and Taj Mahal in ruins, with one individual appearing to have achieved dominance. Additionally, various climatic scenarios are introduced, enhancing the visual narrative. In the teaser announcement, Anup Bhandari cleverly embeds multiple details for the audience to uncover, creating an engaging experience filled with hidden surprises.
