Tell us about the Alibaba And The 41 Thieves.
I accept taken the allegorical Arabian account of 'Alibaba And The 40 Thieves' and added a avant-garde bend to it, wherein a kid from Mumbai alcove the fantasy land. The blur is about his alternation with Alibaba (John Abraham) and the villain Abu Hasan (Ashutosh Rana), the angry and barbarous baton of the 40 thieves.

In your opinion, is the Indian movie-goer abating up to animation?
Yes. It is accurate that some contempo films accept not worked, but there are added abate projects that have. Action is a new average for the Indian admirers and filmmakers. It will yield a while to bolt on.
Anyway I am acclimated to this cynicism. When I was authoritative Jajantaram Mamantram, a lot of boilerplate Hindi blur producers laughed at me and ridiculed me. They anticipation children's films were the sole albatross of CFSI. Why would anyone in his appropriate apperception wish to accomplish a blur for children? They wondered.
Besides the accessible charge for aboriginal children's films they absolutely absent the bartering angle. Today children's ball is one of the better industries in the world. Action will access actuality in India too...it HAS to. That's the actual inevitability.

What is Alibaba's USP?
Every blur needs a acceptable script. The blow depends on how you transform the Software into the affective image. If you are able to do that successfully, again you accept a acceptable blur on hand. Alibaba has a able Software and we are appealing assured about the output. Animation, in this case, is just a anatomy of storytelling.
What is the beheld analysis for the film, accustomed its Arabian moorings?
Animation does charge a lot of detailing. We have, in our attack to archetypal a fantasy Arabian world, created all-encompassing architecture, apparel and composition for the characters. The Islamic/Arabic look-and-feel is one amplitude which has not been explored abundant internationally, besides a few films like Aladdin, etc.
We accept acclimated motion abduction for the film. This technology gives you the accuracy of the animal physique and absorption of animation. It's a admirable anatomy and alone about ten films in the apple till date accept acclimated this technology as abundantly as we have.
Making any action blur is not an simple task. In Alibaba, we are attempting something that hasn't yet been accomplished in India and will not be again at atomic for a few added years.

In the endure few years they are the ones who accept accustomed us Rang De Basanti, Jodhaa Akbar, Aamir, A Wednesday and Dev D besides so abounding added actual absorbing and commercially applicable films.

Both Alibaba and Arjun are actual top end films not just formally but added chiefly agreeable wise.
