Speaking about the BBC Chunnilal film, E Suresh, Creative Director, Famous House of Animation, says, 'We had a great time in getting the structure cracked as the jingle written by Sumit had a lot to offer visually. From the challenge of creating the character 'Chunnilal' who had to appeal to the masses of UP, Bihar etc, where the film was targeted, to creating the neighborhood in miniature that too resembling the lower income group houses/surroundings were exciting tasks that my team and I engaged ourselves for 8 weeks. Meanwhile we created the track with the renowned music director Rajat Dholakia.'
