Shemaroo announces their forthcoming animation project 'Pangaa Gang'

Riding high on the success of Bal Ganesh and Ghatothkach – Master of Magic, Shemaroo Entertainment announces their next animation home production film titled “Pangaa Gang”!

Pangaa Gang, a 3D CGI animated film, is directed by Pankaj Sharma - who also directed Bal Ganesh – and is scheduled for release in Summer 2009.

It is a non mythological film, set in modern times and is made keeping in mind the current consumption trends of kids. High on entertainment value, Pangaa Gang also addresses a social cause.

Smita Maroo, VP, Animation, shares her thoughts, “With children, it is important to register the characters of the movie, and to do so we have a sustained marketing and promotions strategy planned in the pipeline for Pangaa Gang. We are looking forward to reach out to kids across and achieve yet another milestone in the animation industry with the release of Pangaa Gang.”

Bal Ganesh recently won two Lil’Star awards in the categories ‘Best Animation Film’ and ‘Best Animated Character’. Bal Ganesh has also seen an overwhelming premiere and response at Thailand recently.

For Shemaroo Entertainment, which entered the Animation Industry only a few years back, the release of ‘Pangaa Gang’ this summer, would make it one of the foremost players, having successfully released three animated films, in a span of less than two years – namely ‘Bal Ganesh’ and ‘Ghatothkach – Master of Magic.’
