Everyone knows that the studio has recently completed the entire 2D to 3D conversion work on one of Indian cinema?s greatest films of all time Sholay. With its expertise in place, the studio has now taken to do the same in Sons Of Ram produced by Amar Chitra Katha (ACK).

Said Maya Digital Studios chairman & managing director Ketan Mehta, "3D is the future of entertainment and we at Maya are extremely thrilled to bring India?s first animated 2D to 3D converted film Sons of Ram for the Indian audiences. It is a spectacular film with world-class 3D effects and comes from the house of the legendary Amar Chitra Katha."
