The promo of Swami Ayyappan , an animated feature film made by
Toonz Animation Studio, has won the Anifest TVCA AWARDS 2013 in the best
film commissioned category. Swami Ayyappan was chosen the best film
under commissioned category from among 150 entries out of which 21 were
shortlisted.
Mahesh Vettiyar and Chetan Sharma,
the directors of the film, received the award. Swami Ayyappan is
based on the life story of a boy called Manikandan, who became a god. He
is believed to be born out of the union between Lord Shiva and Vishnu
in his Mohini avatar. The film has the right mix of fantasy, action,
adventure, mythology and history and is sure to delight audience of all
ages. More than being a film on a mythological superhero, it is the
message of religious tolerance and secularism that Swami Ayyappan
highlights, said P. Jayakumar, CEO, Toonz Animation India Pvt. Ltd.
