Cartoon Network to premiere animated ‘Dabangg’ version on 31 May

NEW DELHI : Cartoon Network, a WarnerMedia kids’ channel, will launch its latest action-comedy ‘Dabangg-The Animated Series’ on 31 May, with new episodes dropping every day at 12pm.

Animated versions of Bollywood films have long been eyed by television broadcasters and streaming platforms as viable strategies to draw young viewers. Discovery Kids, a division of Discovery Networks Asia Pacific, had earlier announced Fukrey Boyzzz, an animated version of popular Hindi film Fukrey. The show was available in six languages—Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada and English. Discovery has also produced Little Singham based on the popular Ajay Devgn-starrer for TV while Nickelodeon had brought out a version of Rohit Shetty’s comedy franchise Golmaal, titled Golmaal Jr, in May 2019.
