“We are the pioneer and now the winner in the Indian animation
world. PPC ventured into animation in a big way with ‘Hanuman’
(2005). It got a huge reception from the audience. With "The
Return of Hanuman" (2007) we had a more contemporary story
line which appealed to today's generation; this will now be followed
by the third sequel - 'RETURN OF RAVANA: HANUMAN 3', a complete
3D animation film scheduled for 2009. We are delighted by the response
we have received and are honored by the awards that we have been
bestowed with. It only justifies our faith and belief in the potential
of animation in India. We will continue to tap this market by providing
the audiences with high-quality animation and strong story-lines,
which will appeal to the global audiences as well.“
