'Minions' to hit Indian screens in July

New Delhi: Universal Pictures’ ‘Minions’ mania will take over Indian theatres in July.

Featuring voice-overs by Sandra Bullock, Jon Hamm, Michael Keaton and Allison Janney, ‘Minions’, a spin-off of the ‘Despicable Me’ series, will see a pan-India release on July 10.

The story revolves around a Minion named Kevin who along with Stuart and lovable little Bob, ventures out into the world to find a new evil boss for his brethren to follow.

The trio embarks upon a thrilling journey that ultimately leads them to their next potential master, Scarlet Overkill (Bullock), the world’s first-ever female super-villain.

Featuring a soundtrack of hit music from the 1960s, ‘Minions’ is co-directed by Pierre Coffin and Kyle Balda.

“This movie is not just for one audience. It’s for a broad audience, but we tried to be witty about it, meaning that every time there is a joke, we try putting multiple levels on it. That’s the magic of animation. You can express everything for your characters with sheer physical movements," Coffin said in a statement.
