Meet the man who shot Narendra Modi in 3D hologram
"
We felt Modi was one leader who was up to date in technology. He is educated and knowledgeable. That is why we thought of pitching the idea to him," says Senthil Kumar.
A meeting was arranged at Modi's home.
Senthil Kumar recalls he was floored the moment Modi walked in. "I had no idea what he was like in person. When I met him, I liked the way he carried himself," he says. "There was an aura about him; he looked like a divine personality."
"The way he dressed, the way he spoke, the way he walked -- everything about him impressed me. His body language was that of a leader, and he looked like a giant. He greeted each and every one of us personally and asked whether we were comfortable and had food. Only when he was assured that we had all eaten and were fine that he asked if we could get down to work."
The first time Modi saw Senthil Kumar, he called him a hippie because of his long and unruly hair; a nickname that stuck!
Mani Shankar and Senthil Kumar had erected a set to shoot a sample hologram speech. The set resembled a dais with a mike in the corner and a chair for Modi to sit. They asked him to walk on to the dais and sit on a chair, at which point a person was asked to come and garland him.
He was then asked to approach the mike and start talking. He was asked to speak for a few minutes on the hologram.
Both Mani Shankar and Senthil Kumar were in for a surprise when Modi started talking about holograms. "What amazed us was the subject of his speech,
He had spent time learning about holograms and spoke about the technology for about 25 minutes. After he spoke, we showed him what he said in hologram so that he could get an idea how it worked. He was happy and said we shall use it in the assembly election."
Once Modi liked what he saw, everything moved fast. The very next day, they met again and he was ready to shoot his speeches for the assembly election. Once again, they were in for a surprise. "
He would talk for up to an hour-and-a-half without a break. Through this period, he used no notes or reference material. I realised then that he was a great orator, though I couldn't understand much of what he was saying due to my limited Hindi."

It opens up a great colloquial opportunity for few enterprenuring souls to sacrifice themselves doing great service to Matrbhumi.
