Three-time national award winner Srinivas Mohan joins Vijay 58 as VFX head

Three-time national award winner, Srinivas Mohan has joined Vijay’s untitled fantasy flick with Chimdudevan. Fondly called by fans as Vijay 58, the film is expected to go on the floors from next month. We reported earlier today that Makuta VFX will offer technical expertise for the film here. Now, a bankable source has confirmed that Srinivas Mohan, who is known for his long-standing collaboration with director Shankar for films such as Jeans, Indian, Anniyan, Enthiran, Sivaji and lastly Nanban, will be the principal visual effects designer for the film. In fact, two out of three national awards won by Srinivas Mohan are for films directed by Shankar – Enthiran and Sivaji. 

Interestingly, Nanban is not the only film where Srinivas Mohan worked with Vijay. He earlier worked as senior digital composter for Vijay’s Sivakasi, Kushi and as visual effects supervisor in Ghilli. With Srinivas Mohan on board, the prospects of Vijay 58 seem to be getting bigger. While Shruti Haasan and Hansika Motwani play lead roles, Vijay 58 has Sridevi Boney Kapoor and Sudeep in supporting roles. It has music by Devi Sri Prasad.
