Off-Screen Heroes – Technicians of KGF
Shiv Kumar – Art Director
Art direction is one of the primary aspects of any cinema. It plays a major role especially when the film is periodic. Nearly 80% of KGF is shot in sets put in Bengaluru, Mysuru, and Kolar.
Shiv Kumar, Art director, KGF says, “It was challenging because the set has to go with the feel of the 70s. As KGF is a periodic movie, we took care of everything in detail. There are times when we have recreated the entire set as it got collapsed due to the bad wind. “
Bhuvan Gowda – Cinematographer
If KGF is making noise today then one of the main reasons is its cinematography. Literally, every frame in the two trailers released looks like a painting. The man behind is none other than the dazzling Bhuvan Gowda. Bhuvan is an upcoming cinematographer who have had worked in Uggram, Pushapaka Vimana and other 7-8 movies.
In an interview, speaking about KGF, he said, “The entire KGF is shot in natural lighting and no lights have been used. We used to wait for perfect weather to make it happen. As it was a periodic film, most of the scenes are shot using fire since there was a minimum usage of electricity back then.”
He added, “Locations have played a major role in KGF’s making. The team has spent 2 years hunting locations to put the sets. We have not used any extra-ordinary pieces of equipment but planning was to the point. “
Yogi Chiraj & Saanya – Costume
Another major aspect that plays a role in periodic movies is the costume design. The challenging part is to get that feel of gone-days and making it look feel fresh on screen. When it comes to KGF, Yogi Chiraj and Saanya have designed the costume. To be specific, Saanya has designed for Yash and Yogi Chiraj has designed for the rest.
Speaking about KGF’s costume, Yogi Chiraj said, “Most of the costumes used in KGF are not ready-made but stitched for a purpose. Owing to its 70s feel, we had to use accessories of that time. So, right from watch, shoes, to other amenities; everything is custom-made.”
Ravi Basrur – Music
By now, you might have fallen in love with KGF’s background score and Salaam Rocky Bhai song. There’s more to come to raise your expectations, says Ravi Basaruru, music director of KGF.
