While trend in Hollywood is to make movie on the bases of comic books & animated cartoon films like Spiderman & Superman, Bollywood is going in reverse way by making movies like CHAMELI, EK KHILADI EK HASEENA, KUCH KUCH HOTA HAI into animated movies.
In INDIA animation movie trend started gearing up with RAMAYAN & HANUMAN. Both were successful in attracting viewers. Now moviemakers like Karan Johar & pritish nandy have jumped in to animated movies of their released films. They are financing for remaking their movies in animation movies. Karan Johar is geared up to finance KUCH KUCH HOTA HAI's animated version KUCHI KUCHI HOTA HAI. Pritish NANDY also announced Ek Khiladi Ek Haseena & Chameli in animation format. Recently Himesh Reshammiya's AAP KAA SURROR's song 'Tera Mera Milna' also has animation version of the same.There are rumours of Yashraj Films doing an animation film, to be directed by Jugal Hansraj also.
It seems that now animation is not limited to kids, filmmakers are now trying to attract all age group towards animation.
