The Story So Far:
Riding on success story of Hanuman, More than a hundred movies rode to traveled along this wave. They were slated for production three years ago. Few grazed the screens. Of which most disappeared without a trace at the box office.
By 2007, the one-line concept of Toonpur Ka Superrhero started evolving, Kireet Khurana along with his co-writer Raagi Bhatnagar and dialogue writer Mubeen Farooqi discussed on the concept. Kireet had a clear vision of his requirements, "we have to promote animation in this country or for animation to succeed in this country, we have to ride on the star power that Bollywood has". The team arrived to a conclusion of this unique concept of having live-action with 3D animation. "The story demands a superhero and we require riding on the star power that Bollywood has and this combination worked out very well - it uses the star power and the same time animation along with it."
Story, story and story. Focus on the story and the storytelling. Build great characters, make them true to their souls and the story will unfold itself. And yes, a good story is one that doesn’t wear out even when told a 100 times over. - Kireet Khurana
