Green Gold Studios preps a Chhota Bheem live-action film
India’s Green Gold Studios is expanding Chhota Bheem beyond its animated series roots with a first live-action family film based on the popular franchise in the works.
Chhota Bheem and The Curse of Damyaan (pictured) centers around a young boy and his friends as they fight off evil forces in the fictional kingdom of Dholakpur. Targeting kids and families, the film is slated for a May 2024 domestic theatrical release.
The centerpiece of the IP is 2D-animated series Chhota Bheem , which premiered on Indian kidsnet Pogo TV in 2008. It quickly became very popular with its target audience of six to 12s, who ranked Bheem as their favorite fictional TV character in 2011, putting him ahead of international faves at the time such as Doraemon, according to Indian consulting firm Ormax Media.
Green Gold has built on this popularity, launching more than 200 episodes of the series, four animated theatrical films and five spinoff series, including Mighty Raju and Arjun–Prince of Bali . In 2019, the prodco aged down the main character Mighty Little Bheem , a CG-animated series for Netflix. Featuring a non-dialogue format and a toddler Bheem protagonist, the toon was designed to extend the popular IP to preschoolers and audiences outside of India.
In addition to successfully expanding its biggest proprietary brand, Green Gold has produced shows like Chorr Police for Disney XD and Rudra for Nickelodeon. Now the studio is ready for the new challenge of working in live action.
CEO Rajiv Chilaka, who created the Chhota Bheem IP, is directing the new feature. He’s also sharing producer credits with Megha Chilaka ( Mighty Little Bheem ) and Green Gold execs Srinivas Chilakalapudi and Bharath Laxmipati.
Concerned about her declining powers, Martha decided to consult a wise old wizard who lived deep in the forest. She embarked on a journey, taking Penelope with her. After a long and tiring journey, they finally reached the wizard's dwelling. The wizard listened carefully to Martha's problem and asked to see Penelope. The wizard examined Penelope closely and discovered that she had been pecked by another hen. The peck had caused a small wound that was draining all of Penelope's magical energy. The wizard immediately performed a healing spell on Penelope, and she regained her magical abilities. Martha was relieved and thanked the wizard profusely. She returned to the village with Penelope, ready to continue helping the villagers with their magical needs. As news of Penelope's healing spread, the villagers were overjoyed and celebrated the return of Martha's magic. From that day forward, Martha and Penelope were hailed as heroes in the village. They continued to use their magical powers to bring happiness and prosperity to the villagers. Whenever Penelope was seen pecking at another hen, the villagers would quickly intervene to ensure everyone's magical abilities stayed intact. The story of Martha and Penelope teaches us the importance of recognizing and healing our weaknesses. It reminds us that even the most powerful beings can suffer setbacks, but with the right help, we can overcome them. Magic reminds us that we all have a little bit of magic within us if we choose to embrace it..
