titanic, an epic romance and tragedy film, cost 26 times more than the original titanic ship. james cameron worked hard to make the film perfect. The replica of the titanic ship in the film was made by looking at the blueprints of the original Titanic. At the same time, the goods shown in the film were also prepared by the same companies that worked for the original ship. Many real incidents were also shown in the film and many scenes were also created. Makers had used 10 million liters of water in one scene just to show the ship sinking, while lakhs of liters of water were used in other scenes. It cost 200 million dollars, i.e. 1250 crores, to make this film. 8 crores were spent on every one minute scene of the film, which also led to a rift between the director and the distributor.
When james cameron went to 20th Century Fox Studio with the idea of the film, at first he did not understand the idea of adding a love story to the tragedy, but later james was able to persuade him. james cameron then asked the studio for money to collect footage of the original titanic sunk in the Antarctic Ocean. The budget was made to extract the footage of the real titanic by increasing 30 percent of the money they would have spent to make the rack of the fake Titanic. In 1995, james went to 12,500 feet depth 12 times with the help of Submarine to take footage. Where one mistake could even cost someone's life. After many difficulties, james managed to get footage of the original titanic and it was also shown in the film. To make the film better, james did research on the survivors of this incident for six months.
It is shown in the film that Jack creates Rose's painting, but it was actually created by James. Actually, the principal photography of the film started on 31 July 1994.
