A R Rahman, Gurinder Chadha and Paul Berges are coming together for director Kevin Lima's Bollywood-style animated musical adventure 'Monkeys of Mumbai'.


Lima, who directed Disney's animated 'Tarzan' before turning to the live-action hits like '102 Dalmations' and 'Enchanted', has signed on to helm Dream Works Animation's new project, whose story is somewhat similar to the great Indian epic the Ramayana.


The movie centers around a man whose wife is kidnapped by a demon king, the Hollywood Reporter said.


Lima will approach the story through the point of view of two common monkeys who become unlikely heroes.
