Visual Computing Labs (VCL), a division of Tata Elxsi Ltd announced its association with the animation movie, Arjun - The Warrior Prince, presented by Walt Disney Pictures and UTV Motion Pictures, scheduled to release on 25th May'12. Visual Computing Labs (VCL) created all visual aspects of the film and provided all facets of animation production.

This animated mythological action film is the untold story of Arjun, hero of the Mahabharata. A precocious talent plunged from boyhood and innocence into a murky world of deceit and betrayal, coming of age to become the most powerful warrior of his time. From the dusty plains of Hastinapur to the icy peaks of the Himalayas, Arjun: The Warrior Prince is the story of a man discovering what it takes to be a hero.
Talking about the release of the movie, Pankaj Khandpur, Creative Director, VCL, Tata Elxsi Ltd. said, "Arjun is arguably one of the finest and richest action based animated movies produced in India. As the movie is about Arjun coming off age as the warrior prince, a lot of our effort went into conceptualizing and planning around each frame and character. I am sure this movie would appeal to a wider audience, who would be able to relate to the story and characters"
Special consideration went into the look and esthetics of the film in order to make it a piece of Art. The movie has some intricate scenes like the chariot race, the fire sequence, Mahabharata scene and the demon sequences which involved a lot of meticulous planning, conceptualizing and art designing at pre production stages. The film requires the use of large scale sets, massive backdrops and close to 20 primary and around 100 secondary characters, keeping in mind its ambitious nature and look. VCL used softwares which are considered as gold standard in animation like Maya, Renderman, Massive (for crowd multiplication) and fume effects (for fire sequences) to achieve the desired result.

Shots of real actors engaged in a sequence depicting war, fight and race were taken as referrals and replicated in animated versions to get a real life look and feel to the scenes. In addition, each frame to showcase the location and surrounding was also executed with painstaking attention to detail.
