Subhash Ghai, the showman behind hits like Karz and Hero, is eyeing animation’s gold rush. Mukta Arts kicks off with an animated Kali Charan, breathing new life into his 1976 revenge thriller.
In a revealing chat, Ghai mapped the future: AI, animation, and gaming as India’s next trillion-rupee frontier. ‘Talent abounds here—stellar content, expert techies. Let’s globalize our myths via cartoons and games,’ he rallied.
AI? ‘Just a booster tool,’ Ghai simplified. ‘Soon ubiquitous, like your smart fridge.’ Kali Charan leads the pack: ‘Fun, edge-of-seat plot ideal for animation. Theatrical potential intact, appealing to new generations.’
Core story stays true; execution dazzles with novel aesthetics and performer reinventions.
Ghai’s thoughts turned heartfelt for Salim Khan: ‘Prayers from all quarters for my buddy’s quick recovery.’
This isn’t whimsy—it’s strategy. Ghai positions Mukta Arts at animation’s vanguard, potentially reshaping how Indian cinema engages young, tech-savvy viewers worldwide.
