An animation film on
Bheema's son
The director informs you
right at the beginning that he's taken few liberties
with the story in the name of presenting a picture which
makes it visually entertaining.
Ghatothkach is one of the most ignored figures in
mythology. Despite being a half blue-blood, this
good-hearted son of the Pandava Prince Bheema and the
Rakshasi (Demon) Hidimba never got the recognition or
credits, especially, being the son of a powerful father.
But when duty beckoned Ghatothkach sacrificed himself
willingly at the great battlefield of Mahabharata like a
valiant hero.
It is nice to see an animation in Ghatothkach's
honour - who is a not-too-often-mentioned personality,
and it is who especially went against his rakhsas nature
epitomizing heroic virtue and scrupulous devotion.
Singeetam Srinivasa Rao has directed some memorable
films like "Pushpak" which was genuinely hilarious, and
another comedy drama starring Kamala Hassan - "Appu
Raja". His last animated film was "Son of Alladin", and
with Ghatothkach, he is set to elevate the Indian
Animation Industry.

Ghatothkach, lovingly called
"Ghattu" is the prince of the forest and is blessed with
extra-ordinary powers. He has loads of fun with his
magical powers, but also uses them to protect everyone
around him.
As a five year old, he rescues "Gajju" - a baby elephant
which leads to a lifelong friendship.
The film is the journey of a prince and his elephant
friend - full of magic, fun and adventure. When
challenged by evil forces that are out to destroy him
and to stop him from fulfilling his destiny, Ghattu and
Gajju form an invincible team to fight them. Together,
they unite two soul mates - against all odds, in their
own unique funny way.
Director Singeetam
Sreenivasa Rao's compositions are incredibly catchy like
Main hoon Ghatothkach and Aao na aa jaana.
In the making of this film, the 48 Camera Motion Capture
Technology is used for the first time in Asia at
Mobility Art Studio, India
The film is an international collaboration of six
countries - United States, United Kingdom, Canada,
Singapore, Philippines and India. This movie is
co-produced by Shemaroo Entertainment and Sun Animatics.
Children would enjoy the film, so would the adults.
