Mumbai: Maya Digital Studios and Vimanika comics have come together to bring mythological comic characters into their animated avatars.

Maya Studio will be creating an animated TV series and TV Film based on Vimanika?s comic, ?The Sixth: Karna?.

The TV Film will be 70 minute long, followed by a series of 104, 11-minute stories that will be created based on this comic series.

An exclusive preview of the series will be presented at the Mumbai Comic Con 2012.

Maya Digital studios, in the recent past have created a 3D animated show out of Lotpot comics popular Motu Patlu and converted Amar Chitra Katha?s Sons of Ram into stereoscopic 3D.

Maya Digital Studios chairman and managing director Ketan Mehta said, "For a child, comics are the first interface with reading and animation with content viewing. Our focus at Maya is to bring in the best possible comic content into an animated form. The Sixth is precisely such a highly contemporary yet traditionally rooted concept, and with our animation, we?ll take this already popular brand to an altogether new level."

Vimanika Comics CEO Vir Arora said, "The film and series will be in tandem with the artwork and story line of the comic. However there will be necessary creative changes as it?s a different medium."

The Sixth Karna is a story about a real hero. He had all the attributes and characteristics of a god but flaws like a human. Karna was born to a royal family and yet he led the life of a lower caste. But more than that, the story highlights how he overcame all the abuses and challenges life threw at him.
