- IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,August 16 2008]
As popular as to be telecast 53 times, almost once per week, with in a year of release, My Friend Ganesha a children genre blockbuster coming with a sequel on 22 of August.
The popularity of INDIA's First composite animation film is so tremendous that Mr. Ajhai Acharya of BABA Arts Limited has joined hands with the entire team & have completed its sequel  My Friend Ganesha II which is scheduled for release this July, and they are so confident of the movie that the work for My Friend Ganesha III has already started.
My Friend Ganesha II features, besides animated Ganesha, Master Ali, Harsh Chhaya, Bhairavi Goswami, Suhasini Mulay, Sulbha Deshpande and Upasana Singh.
In My Friend Ganesha, the animated character Ganesha had learnt a few English words. Now, in the sequel, he plays a Westernised Ganesha; with a guitar in hand, donning bermuda shorts, a tattoo and a cap, speaking more English words.
Recently a huge set was erected at Filmistan Studios where director Rajiv S Ruia and choreographer Lollypop were picturising a song for the film. Director Rajiv S Ruia, who had also directed the first version, was saying that children would love the song sequence as well as the film. It was evident from the reactions from the children who were participants in the song; they were thoroughly enjoying the song sequence.
Rajiv S Ruia says that more or less the entire technical crew, which was associated with the first part, have been retained; only the sequel is produced by renowned banner Baba Arts Limited, known for its multi-starcast blockbusters.
While making the first part I and my writer Sachindra Sharma decided that if the film becomes a hit we will go for its sequel. Since the film was a big hit, we made the sequel and now we will launch the third part, says Rajiv S Ruia.
