Rohit Vaid, whose maiden directorial endeavor
"Mahayoddha Rama" won the Best Animation Film honour at the 64th
National Film Awards, tells its an "unbelievable" moment for him.
The winners of the 64th National Film Awards were announced
here on Friday.
"When something like this happens, you are only
confused and thankful. It starts with confusion, then thanking everyone, and
later on, you retrospect all the things that went into making of the film. It
really is unbelievable," Vaid said.
Vaid told the film was supposed to be released in 2009, but
"there was some problem with Pixion -- which was doing bits of the
production" for the movie.
"Our logic was to tell Ramayana in a different way with
a bit of creative liberty. We used Ravana as the 20th century villain. We have
told the story with a lot of VFX (visual effects) and action. The idea was to
retell the story to today's youth," he told.
"Mahayoddha Rama", which released in November last
year, featured voices of actors like Gulshan Grover, Kunal Kapoor and Mukesh
Rishi among others.
"We are delighted that our efforts have got such a
prestigious recognition. I am truly humbled and this recognition stands
testament for all the hard work put in by the team. I would like to thank the
jury for this honour," told Abhimanyu Singh, CEO, Contiloe Pictures Pvt
Ltd, which backed the film.
