About the VFX And the Title Seq.However our work on Ekalavya had only reached half way mark. Animagic were to do the vfx for most key moments in the film over the next one year and design both beginning and end credits. The film begins with a 3minute retelling of the story of Ekalavya from the Mahabharata by none other than the Big B himself. In a way that provides context to his character and adds to the visual texture of the film, the beginning sequence is really a film in itself.
"As Vinod was often fond of telling us.."This film begins with a little Animagic film!!!"
