Over 60 percent of the movie will involve CGI work and the makers are spending a whopping Rs 12 crore for the same. The special effects team is working relentlessly to get the desired results," a source told DNA.Devgn, who is also co-producing Total Dhamaal with Ashok Thakeria, has brought his own special effects company, NY VFXWAALA, on board to achieve a highly stylised look for the film. The company even received a National Award for its work in Shivaay, the 2016 Devgn-directed fantasy thriller.Slated to release on 7 December, Total Dhamaal also brings back the original cast of Arshad Warsi, Riteish Deshmukh and Jaaved Jaaferi, with the addition of Esha Gupta.
