Production
Development
In 2015, A. R. Rahman was planning to create a theatre with projections all around and scent added to it, after being suggested by his wife Saira to make a film on perfumes.[11][12] Three months later, someone gave Rahman a virtual reality gear which prompted him and his wife to make a virtual reality film based on perfumes. In order to blend the olfactory element in his film, Rahman got in touch with Grace Boyle,[13] who is the founder director of Feelies, a London based company that has developed the technology to disperse scent during a film.[14][15]
Filming
The entire film was shot in Rome in a span of 13 days using a pair of Jaunt ONE cameras, with each of them being fitted with 24 camera sensors so as to capture 8K quality video.[16][17]
