6 November 2009 7:10 AM, PST
In possible good news for a faltering animation industry in India, Nasscom has forecasted that the industry will grow to Usd 1 billion by 2012 from an estimated Usd 494 million in 2008. The report, released at the Nasscom Animation & Gaming Summit 2009 in Hyderabad, outlines the key challenges for the animation and vfx markets. Noteworthy among them are: 'the limited demand for animation due to limited promotional budgets and restricted theatrical distribution, scarcity of long-term financing for animated films, competition from foreign animation and restricted use of vfx in Bollywood.' Interestingly, the animation entertainment segment (which includes feature films, direct-to-dvd, advertising and TV) accounted only 22% of the total market in 2008; while vfx accounted for a mere 13% of the pie. As of today several animation films are in the pipeline for release next year.

Even as the fate of Ketan Mehta's Rang Rasiya, featuring Randeep Hooda as the father of mythological calendar-art Raja Ravi Varma and Nandana Sen as his muse, remains uncertain, cinematographer-director Santosh Sivan has very quietly gone and ahead and signed a Malayalam film (to be dubbed into Hindi and English) featuring himself as Raja Ravi Varma in the lead. The Malayalam film entitled Magara Manju (winter mist) starts shooting next week Cochin. It's to be directed by the arthouse director Lenin Rajandran. Santosh was at first hesitant to enter into a new arena at a time when his hands are full with cinematography and direction. "But the director Rajendra Lenin convinced me I was right for the part.
