Production

The alliance by Yash Chopra and Dick Cook is a first in the field of animation.[2] The first trailer of the film was shown on October 12, 2007 with the release of the film Laaga Chunari Mein Daag.[5] According to sources, Yash Raj Films are reported to have completed 60% of the film's work in November 2007.[6]

The entire project has been executed at Visual Computing Labs (VCL), a division of TATA Elxsi Ltd. VCL has been involved right from visual conceptualisation, character design to animation & final output. This is the first time that a 3D animated mainstream feature film of this magnitude is coming out of India.
