like eyes face body legs etc we tried to capture flies and click them but as soon as the lights were turned on they would fly away so we kept some flies in a bottle and stored them in a refrigerator after some time they became unconscious and then we did a photoshoot of the fly using powerful lenses in the end we were able to capture the closeup details but it was a herculean process by the end of it all we got a clear idea of what a fly really looks like how did you design the fly after doing the photoshoot of the fly we enlarged the details of it some portions of the body were good but when we enlarged the face it looked horrendous on the big screen now eega is the hero in the film and i cant have an ugly hero so we had to do some cosmetic changes to create a goodlooking fly how difficult was it to shoot the scenes that called for animation this is my first brush with animation it was all so new to me i had to supervise all the departments the camera and animation and at the same time direct the artistes although there are people to coordinate the various departments its the directors job to supervise all of them and get the visualisation right were there moments when you felt frustrated or wanted to give up it was a challenging film as we were using techniques that were never used in the telugu film industry it was a tough job but we all enjoyed doing the project learning and doing new things is always interesting and our entire team took it up as a challenge it took us more time to do the film but we knew we were making a very different film it was a good experience for all of us why did you choose sudeep for role how did you get the kannada superstar to accept a negative character a star is different and an actor is different but there is an actor in every star and they too look for challenging roles to satisfy the actor in them i was impressed by sudeeps performance in rann and given the contrasting shades in his role in eega i was sure he would accept it sudeep has delivered a wonderful performance it was not an easy role to essay did you tell nani that his character has a very little screen time i told him that the character he plays will last for only 25 minutes he was cool about it and working him was always smooth and comfortable he just breezes through the character he was such a perfect fit for that matter even samantha has done a good job i think the main reason for their excellent performances was because they were all excited about the film in the film eega dances to a lot of hit songs and
