The COO of Reliance Animation, Tejonidhi Bhandare, in an interaction with an entertainment daily revealed that they had created around 20-25 episodes of 22 minutes each for both Little Singham and Golmaal Junior amid the lockdown. Revealing the whole process, Bhandare also revealed that it approximately takes them 10 days to finalise the script, followed by 15-20 days of animatics and yet another 15-20 days for animation.
He later informed that only 10 per cent of quality loss is incurred because everyone is working from home but they had divided the data amongst themselves before the lockdown was imposed. Spilling the beans of how everything fell into place, Bhandare also stated that about 70 per cent of the team members had machines at homes to work on while the rest were equipped with systems from the office. Furthermore, talking about the challenges faced by them, he said the voiceover and background score are the only challenges they face during work from home.
