Mumbai: Drink Milk, Do Homework, Save the World this is Ashoka The Hero's message for all kids. Illusion Interactive releases India's first animated superhero flick on January 7. About a youngster who wants to be like his father, a cop who died in the line of duty. One day he comes across a medallion which gives him powers and turns him into a superhero. Producer Gaurav Jain says, "Most animation from India has been retelling mythological tales.

Ashoka the Hero is different as it creates its own unique myth marrying elements of Indian history with fantasy." He adds, "The film has spectacular scenes like an airplane landing at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, a fight on the Bandra-Worli Sea Link."
