Twenty years of characters that raised a generation.
Reliance Animation is an original-IP production studio behind Little Singham, Golmaal Jr., Little Krishna and Smashing Simmba — built with Rohit Shetty, distributed on Pogo, Netflix, Sonic and VOOT, and recognised this year with two FICCI BAF Awards.
Fourteen shows. One house style, many worlds.
Home-grown IP, co-productions and service work for partners in Japan and the US — every series keeps its own colour, cast and tone. The studio identity is the craft underneath, not a single house palette stamped over everything. Click a title for the full fact sheet.
What the industry has said lately.
Recent honours and coverage — the proof this studio is still shipping and still winning, not resting on a 2005 founding date.
Awards Ledger
We build characters. Not commissions.
"To bring a world of fantasy and excitement for our consumers through unique storytelling, blended with cutting-edge technology and creativity."
Founded in 2005, Reliance Animation built India's first 3D animated production, Little Krishna — co-created with ISKCON Bangalore's India Heritage Foundation and written by Jeffrey Scott — followed by the theatrical spectacle Krishna aur Kans in 2012, and an animated superhero revival, Shaktimaan.
Today the studio partners with filmmaker Rohit Shetty on Little Singham and Golmaal Jr., co-produced The Davincibles with Moonscoop US and Neo Network, and built The Twisted Timeline of Sammy & Raj with Nickelodeon US and India.
