After helming Disney’s Tarzan and the studio’s live-action fantasies 102 Dalmatians and Enchanted, director Kevin Lima is returning to the animated musical, though this time he’ll be overseeing a movie for rival DreamWorks instead. The previously announced film, now titled Monkeys Of Mumbai has already caused some controversy for being based loosely on the epic Indian poem Ramayana, with concern being raised that the poem is treated with respect. With Stephen Schwartz and AR Rahman penning the score, the studio seems to have found a suitable director in Lima, to guide the high pedigree creative team through their Bollywood-styled film adventure.
