National Award-winning filmmaker Sankalp Reddy shared that it was a seven-month phase of trial and error to get the look of the 1970s right for upcoming spy thriller ‘IB 71’ starring Vidyut Jammwal.
Set in 1971, the espionage thriller based on real-life events. The film talks about how the Indian Intelligence Bureau in a covert mission outwitted the entire enemy establishment and gave the armed forces the necessary advantage to win the Indo-Pak war of 1971.
Sankalp Reddy explains his process to perfect the 70s look for ‘IB 71’, “It was a sincere coordination between the production designer, art department, costume designer and DOP. It was trial and error. The methodology had a phase of 7 months.
‘IB71’s director continued, “We bought news articles from libraries in Delhi and Mumbai to understand the story. Getting the elements right in a film like this is a gamble. You experiment extensively before you find something that suits you.” Which fits right in. The color palette was another area we spent a lot of time on.
The film is presented by Gulshan Kumar, T-Series Film and Reliance Entertainment. Action Hero Films Production Stars Vidhyut Jamwal, Anupam Kher and Vishal Jethwa in lead roles and is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Action Hero Films and Reliance Entertainment.
Produced by Vidyut Jammwal and Abbas Sayyed, Co-produced by Aditya Shastri, Aditya Choukse and Shiv Chanana. ‘IB 71’ is directed by National Award winner Sankalp Reddy, with story by Aditya Shastri and screenplay by Storyhouse Films LLP. The film is set to release in theaters on 12 May.
