Shemaroo to release 3D animation film on Ganesh festival 
By IndiaFM News Bureau, July 26, 2007 - 15:30 IST
The animation genre has taken the Indian film industry by storm. Multiple projects in the animation format have been announced off lately.
Shemaroo’s ‘Bal Ganesh’ follows suit.
Shemaroo Entertainment’s Animation Division in association with Astute Media Vision has worked on a 3D animation film called Bal
Ganesh. Bal Ganesh is a fun-loving story of Ganesh – the elephant God – who is respected and loved – by all. His pranks and innocence as a
child and his rise to the ranks of the ‘Numero Uno God’ is what the movie entails. In a nutshell, Bal Ganesh relives Baby Ganesh’s childhood
antics, spiced with foot-tapping music, delicious modaks and naughty mooshak (mouse). This 100 minute film is directed by debutant director
Pankaj Sharma. Shemaroo is already working on another animation film Ghatothkach – Master of Magic.
Shemaroo Entertainment plan to release the film during the upcoming festival of Ganesh Chaturthi making it an attraction of the season. Smita
Maroo, VP Animation Division, Shemaroo Entertainment shares her thoughts, ‘Bal Ganesh is special since Ganesh remains a child throughout
and portrays his playfulness like that of all children. The film has been created to connect today’s generation to a popular God. The film not only
meets the taste and overall cool quotient of today’s audiences, but also maintains the sanctity of the God. Bal Ganesh is an exclusive treat from
Shemaroo Entertainment to audiences all over, this Ganesh Festival”.
Another highlight of this film is that it brings together two popular sisters – Asha Bhonsle and Usha Mangeshkar – after 3 decades to sing
together for a film. The film has music composed by Shamir Tandon and other singers like Hariharan, Shankar Mahadevan and Kailash Kher have
lent their voices to the songs.
