Green Gold Animation from India has announced a significant international partnership with the U.K.’s Red Kite Animation to co-produce The Assassin, an animated feature film. The project was introduced at the Goa Film Festival and the Waves Film Bazaar Co-Production Market, both of which have seen strong interest in animation this year.

This collaboration comes as India’s animation industry is rapidly expanding, with new projects like Baahubali: The Eternal War and Mahavatar Narsimha highlighting a shift toward ambitious, culturally rich animated stories aimed at broader audiences. The Assassin is set in a stark, near-future city and follows a young man whose life unravels after a major industrial accident. As corporate control over the city intensifies, his quest for justice leads him through a journey that blurs the lines between rebellion, survival, and revenge.

The film features a graphic-novel visual style and explores contemporary themes, positioning it among India’s emerging adult-oriented animated titles. The production is structured under the India–U.K. Audio-Visual Co-Production Treaty, with both studios sharing responsibilities for financing, creative development, production, and global distribution.

The project will use a hybrid production approach, combining guerrilla live-action, rotoscoping, and advanced 2D/3D animation. Production teams in Hyderabad and the U.K. will work together, aiming for a 15–18 month timeline and an international festival debut.

Rajiv Chilaka, founder and CEO of Green Gold Animation, stated that the company believes Indian animation can compete globally, and described The Assassin as a bold, original film with global potential. Ken Anderson, founder and CEO of Red Kite Animation, emphasized that the project reflects the strengths of both countries’ creative communities and represents a deepening of creative and industrial ties between India and the U.K.

The launch of The Assassin at Waves highlights both studios’ commitment to international collaboration and underscores India’s growing role in the global animation industry.
