Televisionpoint.com Correspondent | Mumbai
Maya Entertainment, an animation studio, and BriliP Edutainment India, a children-centric intellectual property company, have join hands to adapt The Aditi Adventures, a popular series of books by UK-based Indian fabulist Suniti Namjoshi, for animation. The series adds to a slate of service and IP work totaling over 30 crore.
The Aditi Adventures, published by Tulika Publishers, follows a group of young adventurers comprising a girl called Aditi and her friends Monkeyji, Beautiful the Elephant and Siril, the ant.
Their adventures take them all over the world, to the Great Barrier Reef, to the heart of London, to Hong Kong, to Mt. Vesuvius and to other places. With their dragon friends, Goldie and Opal, they encounter situations and extraordinary creatures. Eight books are in print and five more are in the pipeline, forming a ready base for multiple episodes of a series.
Jai Natarajan, executive vice-president, Maya Entertainment, said, "Our goal is to be known internationally for our taste and sensibility. In fact the first Aditi book has also been selected to be read aloud on a children's program on BBC Radio 7 in the UK early next year."
Jayaram Rajaram, managing director, BriliP Edutainment India, says, "Our focus is to identify great children-centric properties and content, with positive values and to adapt these properties into various mediums to entertain and educate children."
