He is known for his innovative children's films LITTLE JOHN, PANDAVAS and SON OF ALLADIN a 3D animated film. Other films include the dialogue-less film PUSHPAK, APPU RAJA and MAYURI etc. Singeetam is very much satisfied with the result of film GHATOTHKACH. He says, "I thoroughly enjoyed the making GHATOTHKACH. It took 2years of continuous hard work. Producers have till now spent 15 Cr. on this film. It's a feature length 'Bollywood Ishtyle' musical animated film of 100 mins. for the entire family. GHATOTHKACH has a lot of action and eight songs. The film features GHATOTHKACH, son of Bhim and Hidimba from the MAHABHARAT as the hero."

Singeetam Says, GHATOTHKACH, lovingly called 'Ghattu' is the prince of the forest and is blessed with extra-ordinary powers. He has loads of fun with his magical powers, but also uses them to protect everyone around him. As a five year old, he rescues "Gajju" - a baby elephant which leads to a lifelong friendship. The film is the journey of a prince and his elephant friend - full of magic. When challenged by evil forces that are out to destroy him and to stop him from fulfilling his destiny, Ghattu and Gajju form an invincible team to fight them. Together they unite two soul-mates against all odds."

A magical musical treat when the film releases on May 23, 2008!
