The task included styling and designing the look of the film, from the opening credits sequence to the various 'time-compression' techniques and multiple split images.

According to an official release, VCL worked very closely with the directors - from the planning to the on-shoot supervision, to the final execution - to provide expertise in VFX and CGI. The main VFX component involved explosions, smoke, fire and gun-shot simulations, morphs, body-double replacements and chroma-key techniques, which allowed some of the most dangerous leaps and falls to be shot in the safety of the studio, along with wire, rig and harness removal.

VCL has delivered a total of over 535 shots and more than 25 minutes of gripping effects in a short span of less than eight weeks, added the release.

Says VCL GM and head K Chandrashekar, "Dhoom is a powerhouse of adventure and adrenalin starring some of the fastest motorbikes in the world and incorporating some of the finest stunts and physical effects ever seen on Indian screen. VCL is proud of its association and contribution to what will be the new action film bench-mark in the Indian film industry, raising the bar higher than ever before.
