New Delhi: After the stupendous success of James Cameron's 'Avatar' in India, Bollywood is also waking up to the wonders of 3-D technology with a number of directors going for the third dimension in their films.
Vikram Bhatt, who directed India's first stereoscopic 3-D horror film 'Haunted' is planning two more films in the genre and he feels that the new technology is here to stay.
"I have a good knowledge about 3D technology but for 'Haunted' (which used stereoscopic 3D), I had to re-learn everything. I am still learning. In India we are not yet well-equipped to make a 3-D, that is why I had to hire three people from Hollywood for my film. But things are looking up.
I think the audience is receptive to 3-D films," said Bhatt. Bollywood is catching up quick and fast. Other than Bhatt, director Shirish Kunder's 'Joker' starring Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha will be made in 3-D.
"Could 3-D be the medium of the future? May be 2-D will gradually phase out just like black & white films did. Digital cinema is making its presence felt," Kunder said.
Superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who has criticised Bollywood's lack of interest in new and emerging technologies, also wants to include 3-D in his upcoming sci-fi 'Ra. One' to attract the younger audience, saying that they are trying to convert certain parts of parts of the film into 3-D.
It is being said that Aamir Khan starrer 'Dhoom 3' may go the 3-D way. So is the case with Salman Khan's upcoming movie 'Kick'. Nikhil Advani is reportedly contemplating using the technology in his next film 'Delhi Safari'. Chances are that the sequel of 'Mr India' may also go for 3-D.
