What was the Initial Visual Development like?

We looked around at visual references, read Harivanshrai Bachchan's hindi versions of Shakespeare's plays, tried to define our cinematic scale and mood as well as looked for icons and symbols that add to the language of the film. The idea was to explore the script visually and push things to the next level.


Following are a few sketches of the Semiotics and Iconography that were worked upon in the Visual Development
