 Shruti
Bajpai, Country Manager, HBO South Asia said, "King Kong in
Hindi is a special Mother's Day gift from HBO to its viewers. We

offering of "The Mummy, The Mummy Returns and The Scorpion
King in Hindi a few years ago. We hope to regale our viewers once
again through the Hindi version of King Kong".
King
Kong is a story of a gargantuan ape from the skull island who falls
in love with a novice actress. When a disheartened film director
Carl Denham (Jack Black) decides to renovate his sinking down career,
he decides to flee to a far-flung island along with playwright Jack
Driscoll (Adrein Brody) and a struggling vaudeville actress Ann
Darrow (Naomi Watts). The schematic director wants to go to the
Skull Island that is rumored to be inhabited by a humongous ape.
He believes that this monster could clinch the blockbuster he so
badly needs. On reaching the island Ann falls into Kong's trap.
The initially terrified Ann gradually becomes empathetic towards
Kong and a bonding between them is instigated.
