F.A.Q.
Q:Why did George Lucas decide to direct 'I' in 1999, amidst working on the Star Wars prequels?
A:
Lucas took on 'I' as a directorial challenge to prove he could handle romance and drama as adeptly as sci-fi. He was deeply inspired by a script that mixed action, drama, and romance in a unique way, seeing it as a palate cleanser from the massive Star Wars universe. The project was squeezed into a tight window between 'The Phantom Menace' and 'Attack of the Clones'.
Q:How did the film 'I' manage to include scenes shot at the real United Nations headquarters, a location known for its strict access?
A:
The production team managed to shoot at the United Nations headquarters by aligning their filming schedule with a significant UN event that promoted global cinema. They portrayed the shoot as part of the event, which allowed them unprecedented access to areas of the UN usually off-limits to filmmakers, capturing crucial scenes in authentic settings.
Q:What really happened when Vikram performed the stunt on the skyscraper's edge?
A:
Originally, a stunt double was scheduled for the skyscraper scene, but Vikram insisted on performing it himself to add authenticity. The stunt went awry when unexpected high winds kicked in, nearly causing a real disaster. They kept the footage where Vikram genuinely loses his balance, adding to the film's tense realism.

Trivia
🎬During the filming of 'I', George Lucas used a prototype digital camera, developed specifically for him by Sony. This camera, which was a precursor to modern high-definition digital cameras, was used for the first time on a film set, marking a significant advancement in film technology.
💡Amy Jackson's costume in 'I' had pieces actually owned by Hollywood icon Audrey Hepburn. The film's costume designer won an auction for Hepburn's dresses, which were subtly altered to fit Jackson, adding a touch of classic glamour to her character's wardrobe.
🎯The pivotal scene where Vikram's character reveals his true identity was shot in a single take. After a technical difficulty with the camera, what was intended to be a rehearsal was used in the final cut. The raw intensity captured accidentally ended up defining the climax of the movie.
