Earlier, we tied up with Motion Pixel Corporation with whom we're doing six animation films starting with Ek Haseena Ek Deewana. We also have an animation version of Sholay", signs off Mr Nandy. One of our most prolific sensitive and underrated director, Shakti Samanta, who made some of the most enduring and melodious mellow-dramas in the 1970s, is about to get an unusual boost up into the limelight. Why these films from Shakti-da's astonishing oeuvre? Why not the other classics like Aradhana, Amanush and Kati Patang? It just uses the two main characters played by Koena and Fardeen as a spring board. But we'll also have re-mix version of the originals side by side.
What we're doing is something different. Mr Nandy denies that the animation version of the Fardeen Khan-Koena Moitra starrer will be true to the feature film.
So there's an added excitement there of introducing a neglected AB film through animation.Mr Bachchan's better known films. Barsaat…. I want to capture in animation form. In the meanwhile Mr Nandy speaks for the first time on his international project Karna.
With PNC, Yashraj Films, Karan Johar and Ajay Devgan doing animation, is that the flavour of the season? PNC won't only pay a homage to the Bengali mellow-dramatist but also to the immortal melodies of Sachin and his son Rahul Dev Burman in the cinema of Shakti Samanta. Pritish Nandy Communications(PNC) is about to make trendy spruce-up animation versions of three Samanta classics Howrah Bridge, Amar Prem and Barsaat Ki Ek Raat.
Says the company's prime mover, Pritish Nandy, "This is my homage to one of the most underrated filmmakers of the country. Howrah Bridge is one of my favourite noire films. The magic of Sachin Dev Burman's music, the chemistry between Ashok Kumar and Madhubala and the seductive charm of Ashok Kumar's baritone….
Says Mr Nandy, "I've chosen Howrah Bridge, Amar Premand Barsaat Ki Ek Raat because they not only represent three phases in Shakti Samanta's career but also three generations of superstars Ashok Kumar, Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan. The animation feature takes the characters forward.
Samanta, he was so pleased to know his films would reach out to a new generation.It's tie-up between PNC and a Hong Kong company. We'll be hearing the animation figures sing songs like 'Aaiye Meherbaan' in Howrah Bridge, 'Yeh Kya Hua' and 'Raina Beeti Jaaye' in Amar Prem and 'Apne Pyar Ke Sapne' in Barsaat Ki Ek Raat. We'll have a series of animation films based on the adventures of these two characters. When I met Mr.
