Roar was shot in the dense mangrove forest, showcasing the animal-man conflict, and the film has aerial visuals of the Sundarbans and over 800 shots with special effects. Director Kamal Sadanah said, "We spent four months doing the test shoots and we shot with trained tigers from Los Angeles and Thailand and composited these sequences with the ones taken at Sundarbans with VFX". He concluded by saying that he had to take up an online course in visual effects along with his producer Abis Rizvi.[7]
Every day we see dogs and cats on streets and tigers in videos so we do have a clear picture in mind on how they all look like, but our job was to convince the audience to believe that it was not a fake tiger that they got to witness on the big screen; and that became very challenging, it was not an easy job to do. We spent almost a year in developing this tiger in terms of putting muscles, fur, how would he animate, how would he react because if it would have animated even marginally incorrectly, anyone would have managed to guess it easily. Then we had this shot where there were millions of bees on a person, basically all was equally difficult. Later stages like rendering also became an issue; rendering it with the right lighting was required to be done individually.
How about a tiger roaring loudly and announcing its presence on the banks of the Sunderban Tiger Reserve? Recently, a video has become viral and if you see it, surely it will send chills down your spine. And yes, all you have to do is keep the volume up while watching it.
It was no-random jungle location,It was THE SUNDERBAN,The largest mangrove forest,The largest Delta of the world. Apart from being isolated from Social life,cell phones & internet, we were going to encounter Real situations having Wild animals,tigers,Crocodiles,Snakes,dangerous insects and last but not the least, Severe dehydrating conditions.
