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]
