Talking about difference between producing an animated movie and a documentary, she told that animated movies were time consuming and needed a lot of equipments. “The beauty of animated film is that you transport kids and adults to a world where they can dream, where they can see things that you wouldn’t see in reality,” she told.
“It’s such a pleasure to work with animation and to able to transform audience to a magical world”
The film is produced by Chinoy’s Waadi Animations, which is based in Pakistan. “All the animation, all the V effect, everything has taken place right here in Karachi,” she confirmed.
