Both these Bollywood movies are high on VFX and there is a special team that is making sure the audience is treated with a much grandeur experience on the big screen. Namit Malhotra, the chief executive officer of visual effects, animation and stereo conversion company DNEG has spoken about the work his team is doing on the upcoming Bollywood movies Brahmastra and RRR.
