Big B - Salman - Ash in 'Hanuman'

The global success of SHREK, FINDING NEMO and the recent SHARK TALE has prompted Indian film-makers to try their hand at the animation industry. And Percept and Sahara have already taken a step in that direction.
Percept Picture Company and Sahara One Motion Pictures have jointly produced a 90-minute animation film titled HANUMAN, which will be released globally on December 24 this year. "We will release the Hindi version first and dub it in other languages subsequently," Sunil Sahjwani, C.E.O. of Percept Picture Company, informs me.
HANUMAN will have five songs in all, with some of the biggest names from the music industry [Sonu Nigam, Sapna Mukherjee, Palash Sen, Shaan, Kailash Kher, Shankar Mahadevan and others] lending their voice to the tracks.
Meanwhile, Percept and Sahara are in talks with Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai to lend their vocals for the pivotal characters in this animation film. "That's true," Sahjwani confirms, "Salman has expressed a desire to dub for the film. But I cannot confirm any of the names till everything is on paper."
If at all Salman and Ash agree to be a part of this project [by lending their voices!], it would be the first project the duo would be associated with after their fallout.
Percept and Sahara have also decided to come up with a television series of this film, which will be aired on Sahara One channel. "The television series will follow later, much after the theatrical release," Sahjwani adds.
Hindi moviegoers will now get to hear SRK and son Aryan in the animation film THE INCREDIBLES [releasing on December 17] and, in all probability, Big B, Salman and Ash in HANUMAN a week later [December 24]. Something to look forward to!
