MUMBAI: Months after Maharashtra revenue minister Narayan Rane‘s eldest son Nilesh turned producer and launched a 3D film titled Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, his younger brother Nilesh has also followed suit.

Nitesh is making a 3D animation film called Bal Shivba that will apparently be an attempt to portray the young Shivaji as a modern-day superhero, who solves problems faced by youngsters in contemporary Mumbai.

Says Nitesh, "The character we have created is inspired by Shivaji Maharaj and will be a youth hero."

The producer intends to release the film sometime in early 2012.

Tata Elxsi, which worked on Yash Raj Film‘s Roadside Romeo, is handling the animation for Nitesh‘s film, Bal Shivba.
