Shah Rukh Khan's Red Chillies VFX Studio now has a new address. After much property-hunting the actor and his team of graphic designers and technicians are set to move into a lavish office in the Lokhandwala area of Andheri (West). While the interiors of his new office are getting a facelift, new machines are being shipped in too.
Says Arjun Mitra, one of the head of the Red Chillies VFX team, says, "We are getting closer to Shah Rukh's vision of having a first-class graphic designing studio. We will move into our new office within a month. It's a huge space, that can support at least 300 professionals."
The property has been leased out to the actor for a period of a few years. The Red Chillies VFX team comprises 40 people, headed by Arjun Mitra, Ketan Yadav and Harry Hingorani. As for assignments, the VFX studio is presently concentrating on commercials and Farah Khan's film, Om Shanti Om Adds Arjun, "We have the technology for providing the best visual graphics. Television commercials are keeping us busy these days."
Of late, Shah Rukh has been focussing on the expansion of his VFX studio. Before heading for a holiday in London the actor had several meetings to firm up the deal. After having worked on Main Hoon Na, Paheli and more recently, Don , the team has already started pitching in for Hollywood productions.
Adds Arjun, "We have got a bunch of expert visualisers and operators. The company intends to take up work for outside producers too, including Hollywood production companies. The special effects that we had seen in Krrish can be done in our studio too. We are also hiring more people and by the end of three years we should have at least 300 members working on various projects. We plan to add a hundred people to our team by the end of this years itself."
Besides his new office, sources indicate that SRK has bought another plot of land too, again in Andheri (W). "He has recently bought this land. But we are yet to determine the function of this space," says a source close to SRK.
