Hanuman Da' Damdaar's actors get smacked
- Planet Bollywood Special Correspondant Let us know what you think about this story

You did read it correctly but before you assume anything, let us tell you that smacking is an animation technique that R.A.T. films have initiated Bollywood actors into.

"Basically we block the scene with actors and work out each characters' body language to shoot it for the animators. Because animation characters have exaggerated movements and reactions it turns out to be a hilarious process with real actors!" quipped Ruchi Narain who is directing Hanuman Da' Damdaar, but she could hardly control her giggles.

"I cannot get over the fact that the process is called smacking, it was so awkward calling stars over 'to get smacked'. They were like, 'Ruchi, tumse yeh umeed nahin thi'" she laughed.

Hanuman Da' Damdaar with an ensemble cast featuring voice overs by Salman Khan, Raveena Tandon, Kunal Kemmu, Chunky Pandey, Vinay Pathak, Saurabh Shukla, Makrand Deshpande and Javed Akhtar is been produced by R.A.T. FILMS, presented by RNB film in association with R.A.T films and is slated to release on the 2nd of June.
