Bollywood director Karan Johar is planning to make an animated film, with the typical Bollywood song and dance. The film will be produced by Dharma Productions and the script is still being written.
Film maker Govind Nihalani too is making an animated film, titled Kamlu. He is not, however, featuring voices of Bollywood stars in his film. Kamlu is set for release in mid 2007.
So has animation arrived in India? Animated films from Hollywood have done quite well, but they’ve always been a novelty. The market may have changed with the success cartoon channels, so we’ll have to wait and watch.
