...so I thought to google for 'hindu dieties motion capture' and found this:

"These animations of Hindu deities were created by the Indian artists at the Paprikaas Animation Studio in Bangalore. In the case of Shiva, he was first ‘motion captured’ by digitally recording the movements of a foremost Indian classical dancer from Australia. "

another project:

"... the film is in 3D and The music will be scored by A.R.R Rahman."

"Rajnikanth's daughter is directing India's first motion capture movie, based on the legend of the Hindu god Shiva, starring the SUPERSTAR himself, alongside Deepika Padukone. The movie will also co-star Jackie Shroff and Tamil actress Sneha."

"The cast of this film seems to be changing every day but, as of now, the gorgeous Rukmini Vijayakumar has been cast as Rajini's sister and Aadhi (!!) opposite her. Shobana (!!!!) is also supposed to be in it.


While a set of sources say the dates given by Sneha were wasted since the project is taking time to kick off, others say Soundarya wanted a professional dancer for the role and hence she found Rukmini as the right choice."
