MUMBAI: Jugal Hansraj, who directed YRF and Disney‘s first collaborative animation film Roadside Romeo in 2008, will address a master class on animation at Indian Film Festival Melbourne, scheduled to go underway from 11 to 22 June.

Hansraj will be present at the festival along with Rajkumar Hirani, Rituparno Ghosh and Sabyasachi Mukherjee, who will conduct master classes on expertise in their respective fields.

In a 90-minute presentation, the actor-director will share his first hand experiences of directing Roadside Romeo because it was the first mainstream, non-mythological animation film.

Hansraj, who last directed Pyaar Impossible in 2010, is ready with several new scripts. He is in talks with several producers and hopes to start work on one of these scripts by the end of this year.
