Priyadarshan, known for directing offbeat films as well as commercial potboilers, is now entering a new facet in the film industry – animation. The animation flick is titled Twinergy and will have Amitabh Bachchan in the animated form. This is the first animation film for the Bollywood star and he has even agreed to lend his voice for dubbing. Twinergy will be produced jointly by AB Corporation and Toonz India.

P Jayakumar, CEO of Toonz Animation India Pvt Ltd was quoted as saying, “We are sure it is going to entertain both children and grownups alike and set them thinking.” The film is slated to hit the screens for Deepavali next year.
