Director Harry Baweja, of Baweja Movitone, has always made a headway as far as usage of technology in films is concerned. He was the first filmmaker of the land to attempt Digitial Intermediate, making India’s heavy duty sci fi film, in the form of his ambitious Love Story 2050. Taking a step further, the director who has given us films like Dilwale, Imtihan, Diljale, Deewane, Karz, Qayamat and Karam, has now undertaken to make India’s first photo realistic 3D Animation film Chaar Sahibzaade in S-3D on Sikh history. Talking to Tellychakkar.com Baweja reasoned his intention to make an animation film, “While going through the pages of Sikh History, as I focused on the dramatic events around the lives and sacrifices of the four sons of Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji, I knew I had the story of my next film in hand.” “But it is a known fact that a ‘live action’ film cannot be made on the lives of the four sons of Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji. In this case animation was the only option in which format I could make a feature film on this part of Sikh History.” He continued, “We then closely worked with Prasad Ajgaonkar the head at the Animation Studio ‘I REALITIES’ to create the world of that era. Finally after an intense effort of literary and technical research for over three years, we have been able to bring out the first look of the film.” The film, set for release later this year, tells the story of the sacrifices of the four sons of Guru Gobind Singh -- Baba Ajit Singh, Baba Jujhar Singh, Baba Zorawar Singh and Baba Fateh Singh. "It took me an intense effort of literary and technical research under the guidance of the religious leaders for over three years to come up with the project," he added. "The script and the making of the film is being co-ordinated with the team at the SGPC (apex religious body of the Sikhs). Our effort is to make this film true to history and correct in its depiction of religious sentiments," Baweja revealed. The film will be released in Punjabi, Hindi, English and various other Indian and over a dozen foreign languages.
