'Ghatothkach' nominated for contention in Cairo Film Festival

  • IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,February 17 2009]

Singeetham Srinivasa Rao always dedicates his work for the children and all his works including Pushpak’, ‘Appu Raja’, ‘Bhairavadweepam’ and ‘Adithya 369’ catered to the below 12 crowd.

‘Ghatothkach’, a 3D animated film is Singeetham Srinivasa’s last produced by Suryadevara Vinod. Stringing the prominent episodes from the classic hit ‘Mayabazar’, Singeetham made the film comically which entertained the kids and adults alike.

The movie has been nominated for contention at the International Cairo Film Festival, to be held starting from 5th March to 12th of the same month this year.

Happy with the news, Srinivas Rao said, “Even though it was an animated flick, the universal script appealed everyone irrespective of age. Action sequences of the film were the highlight and people liked to see the original classic mythology in an animated version after many years. I have been invited to participate in the fest and submit ‘Ghatothkach’ for contention irrespective of the difference of language.”

‘Ghatothkach’ has been dubbed in seven different languages in India and most probably the English version will be screened for evaluation. The film will come under the International category of movies made for children.
