After the success of its first instalment, the makers of 'Chhota Bheem' are planning to bring a new story about the Indian animated comic hero every summer to entertain children.
The film is all set to stage a comeback on the big screens titled 'Chhota Bheem and the Throne of Bali'.
The movie will be released in 500-600 screens across India and is a sort of sequel to 'Chhota Bheem and the Curse of Damyaan'.
"We are happy with the response the character of 'Chhota Bheem' got both on small and big screen. Our plan is to come up with a new story every year. Each story of 'Chota Bheem' will have a fresh idea and end it there. In a way its a sequel," Director Rajiv Chilaka, founder and MD of Hyderabad-based Green Gold Animation, told PTI here.
"It is a sequel. It is not that we would be growing up the character like 'Harry Potter'. The hero will remain same. We plan to do one film every summer," he said.
The film is about the adventures of a nine-year-old boy named 'Chota Bheem' and his friends living in the fictional city of Dholakpur.
"'Bheem' is derived from mythological character but is completely fictional. His name is Bheem but has nothing to do with 'Mahabharata'. As the name sounds he is strong, he is just a common village boy. The reason why the character is popular is because it connects with the audience," Rajiv said.
The 100-minute animation film directed by Rajiv Chilaka, founder and MD of Hyderabad-based Green Gold Animation will be released in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu on May 3.
