3D animation flick on NTR

Here comes a full-length 3D animation film on legendary actor and former Andhra Pradesh chief minister N.T. Rama Rao!�Producer-director Sai Venkat from A.P., who has three films to his credit,�is embarking on an ambitious project to create the first full-length 3D animation in South India.

Inspired by the recent Hollywood 3D blockbuster Avatar, Sai Venkat is currently working on The Legend NTR in Heaven, an imaginary tale of the experiences NTR goes through in heaven. This 3.5-hour fantasy narrative will be based on the life of the actor in heaven.

"It is an imaginary tale of the experiences NTR goes through in heaven, how he is impacted and how his presence would affect the dynamics there. Like in real life, the actor will enter politics," Venkat said during a press meet on Wednesday.

The film seems to be loosely based on NTR’s 1975 runaway hit Yamagola, though Venkat promises it would have a flavour of its own. "It will be a full length masala with comedy, action and entertainment in the right doses. We are still working on the script," he added.

To meet the human resources requirement of the ambitious project, Venkat is now planning to recruit professionals in different departments of animation at a ‘job mela’ to be conducted on February 27 and 28 at Dizee9’s studio. "We have a requirement of nearly 2,000 animators for the film. However, we will recruit around 300 in the first phase,” he said. For details, check www.dizee9.com.
