Cosmos-Maya, Spectrum prep 3D toon

Cosmos-Maya’s Putra is set for delivery next year

India- and Singapore-based animation studio Cosmos-Maya has partnered with Indonesian prodco Spectrum Film to coproduce a 3D kids’ animated action-comedy series.

Putra (52×11’) tells the story of a modern-day local Indonesian boy who becomes an action hero, as he and his two friends fight crime and save their city from evil.

Produced at Cosmos-Maya’s studio in India, Putra is in production for delivery in 2021. Spectrum holds the rights to the series in Indonesia and Sri Lanka, with Cosmos-Maya handling the rest of the world.

Anish Mehta, CEO of Cosmos-Maya, said: “The consumption of animated content is on a consistently upward trend – 2020 has seen phenomenal growth in demand in linear TV as well as digital content. We have seen our homegrown Indian IPs performing wonderfully in Indonesia.

“Putra gives us the opportunity to directly cater to a large, rich, digitally advancing and diverse market allowing us to make homegrown content tailormade for local consumption in a foreign territory.”
