Makers of 3D Animation film ‘Krishna’ have announced their next project ‘Prithviraj Chauhan’.

The movie is directed by Rakesh Prasad and produced by Shashikant D Chedda, MD of Shethia Audio and Video. Bappi Tutul is the music composer and the lyrics are penned by Taufiq Palvi.

Significantly, a television serial from the Sagars, ‘Prithviraj Chauhan’ is already on air and is extremely popular so much so that the Vice President Bhairon Singh Shekhawat specially flew down to Mumbai to meet the actor who plays young Prithvi.

”Making an animation film in India is much cheaper (around Rs 40 million - Rs 80 million) as compared to the western countries.

The demand for films based on Indian mythological and historical super heroes like ‘Hanuman’, ‘Krishna’, ‘Ganesh’, ‘Prithviraj Chauhan’, etc is rising in the foreign countries having huge Indian population. The home video of these films is much cheaper option for the NRI’s as well as local Indians as the ticket rates in the theaters outside as well as in India are sky rocketing,” said Gipsy Video Managing Director Amit Chedda. Gipsy Video are the makers of home video from the Shethia Audio and Video group.

”We are planning to release this movie across the nation and are looking forward to having possible business associations to release this movie,” he said.

The animation film industry in India is growing day by day in India. The business is gaining ground in India and has now become a 200 crore industry, he said.
