For their first animated musical, Dreamworks Animation has hired composer A.R Rahman (Slumdog Millionaire, 127 Hours), Broadway lyricist Stephen Schwartz (Enchanted, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, the Broadway hit show Wicked) and husband-and-wife producing team Gurinder Chadha and Paul Berges (Bend It Like Beckham).

Originally titled MONKEYS OF BOLLYWOOD, the movie is said to be inspired by the Hindu epic ‘The Ramayana’. The Mumbai-set story will revolve around two monkeys who try to stop an ancient demon from conquering the world.
