A preview of Le Musk was shown 27 April 2017 at the ‘NAB’, Las Vegas in a room with multi-sensory 'Voyager' chairs.[6][7] At 72nd Cannes Film Festival, Rahman unveiled 'Scent of a song' from the film.[8]

Plot

The film follows the journey of an orphaned child, full-time heiress and part-time musician, who grows up to be a diva on a mission. All through, she has one constant companion – the lingering Muskan scent. However, her life takes a dramatic turn when she receives an anonymous message, which brings back her mysterious past.[9]

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.[10][11] Three months later, someone gave A.R.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[12], who is the founder director of Feelies, a London based company that has developed the technology to disperse scent during a film.[13][14]

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.[15][16]
