The Indian epic Ramayana, which narrates the story of Lord Rama, will be soon made into a Bollywood-style animated musical adventure by Hollywood director Kevin Lima. This animation musical is titled Monkeys of Mumbai. Oscar winning musician A.R. Rahman will compose music for this film, which will be produced by DreamWorks Animation.
Lima, director of A Goofy Movie, Tarzan, 102 Dalmatians and Enchanted, will narrate the story of Ramayana through the point of view of two common monkeys. Gurinder Chadha and Paul Berges, who collaborated on Bend It Like Beckham, will pen the story of Monkeys of Mumbai.
