Bridging education and commercial filmmaking with India’s first student-led theatrical animation production.
Reliance Animation Academy, in association with Tenali Rama Animation and strategic industry partners, proudly unveils an ambitious animated feature film, “Ravana – The Lost Battle with Shri Ram.” More than just a film, this groundbreaking project introduces an innovative student-led production model, empowering aspiring animators and filmmakers to gain hands-on experience by contributing to a full-scale theatrical feature while they learn.
“Transforming classrooms into real production studios: Students co-author shot sequences, modeling pipelines, and multi-pass compositing alongside veteran studio supervisors.”
This unique initiative bridges the gap between education and the professional entertainment industry, transforming classrooms into real production studios. Guided by the academic and creative mentorship of FTII, the project offers students an unparalleled opportunity to collaborate with industry experts, work on live production pipelines, and build professional portfolios through real-world filmmaking experience.
Scheduled for a Summer 2027 theatrical release, “Ravana – The Lost Battle with Shri Ram” is envisioned as a landmark animation production that will bring an epic untold story to audiences across India and worldwide OTT networks.
