Rapport and trust are of prime importance to me. He makes sure that everyone feels at home on the sets. I have heard a lot of directors speak about the comfort level they share with Arya, but to experience it is entirely different altogether. The film is better because of him.Īrya was a dream to work with. His character is well-etched, and he has given life to it perfectly. In Teddy, Arya plays a character with OCD issues. Rarely do you see such a well-defined character in a commercial film. How did you go about creating Arya's character in Teddy? Your protagonists usually have solid backstories that lend themselves to their character arc. All these four elements together created Teddy. The last department added the voice to the character. Every pixel of these expressions is then computer-generated. Through performance capture, they captured the emotions and eye movements. The most important department is, of course, CGI. The second is a theatre artist named Gokul, who wore the costume and executed the character's body language and dialogues on the spot. One was a toy company in Thailand that designed the costume and the mask.
Our weekend audience was a lot more than we could have aspired for with a theatre release.Ĭan you explain the challenges that went into the making of Teddy?Ī total of four departments worked on creating the animated character. The film is able to reach a pan-Indian audience on such a large scale. That said, we are happy with the release of Teddy on Disney+ Hotstar because I want kids to see this film, and this platform seems to have the highest subscription among OTT platforms in India. I think theatres are the purest places for cinema consumption. Everything about Teddy, including its post-production, was done keeping a theatre release in mind. I think if a film cannot be watched by parents and youngsters, the kids are not going to be able to watch it.Ĭonsidering children are your primary audience, are you glad that Teddy got released on an OTT platform?Įvery film is special. That said, we were also careful not to dumb down any elements. Rarely do they get films that they enjoy that's why I chose to make this film. I have two sons: one in kindergarten and the other in first grade. Very few films target the younger audience like Teddy has.
How did you come up with a story around a character like Teddy?
