‘3 Bahadur’ is a story about three children; Amna, Kamil and Saadi who attain super powers and use them to save their town ‘Andher Basti’ from the evil over lord Mangu. It is a story about courage, heroism, loyalty and friendship that will inspire the next generation to realise that they hold the power to change the future of Pakistan for the better.
Speaking about ‘3 Bahadur’, Academy Award winning film director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy said, ” 3 Bahadur’ is has been a very special project for me because it is years of hard work in a genre that very few have explored in Pakistan. This film has been made possible because of the talent and dedication of exceptional illustrators, writers, animators and visual effects artists. It is a very local story – our aim is to give Pakistani children the chance to see people like them on screen for the first time in a story that reflects upon the things they see around them. Animation in this country may be in its infancy but I firmly believe that there is a place for all sorts of mediums and stories within the Pakistani film industry.”
‘3 Bahadur’ promises to set a new standard for animated fiction and content geared towards children in the country.
