Calling the film a 3D spectacle, Emraan says, “There are plenty of visual effects and it’s my request to the audience to watch it in 3D. While we’re also releasing the movie in 2D, it is going to be best enjoyed in its 3D format.” Mahesh Bhatt, one of the producers of the film, adds, “From the time the protagonist becomes invisible, which is right at the start, the movie has abundant scenes that stand out for the way the VFX has been executed. Invisibility is a cool power to be seen in 3D. I was blown away by the VFX and I’d like everyone to watch it in 3D.”
Previous Hindi films in 3D that became box office hits include Emraan’s own 'Raaz 3' and Remo D’Souza’s 'ABCD — Any Body Can Dance', among others. Hollywood, too, has had a superhit run in this format with films like 'Life Of Pi', Avatar and some superhero flicks.
Mr. X, produced by Vishesh Films and presented by Fox Star Studios, releases April 17.
