Nick to air High Noon at Mega Mountain on 22 June
MUMBAI: Nick will air High Noon at Mega Mountain in the Nick Home Cinema slot on 22 June at 11 am. The action movie is based on three ninjas.
This is the fourth action adventure of three brothers – 15-year-old Rocky (Mathew Botuchis), 14-year-old Colt (Michael J. O‘Laskey II), and 8-year-old Tum Tum (J.P. Roeske II) who are martial art experts thanks to their Grandpa Mori (Victor Wong), a retired ninja.
On a trip to the Mega Mountain amusement park, the three boys are joined by their computer genius neighbour, 13-year-old Amanda (Chelsey Earlywine). Bad fate strikes the amusement park when it is invaded by an army of ninjas led by evil Medusa (Loni Anderson), who wants to take over the park and hold the owners for a $10 million ransom.
Former TV star Dave Dragon (Hulk Hogan) happens to be making an appearance at the park, and the combination of Dave, Rocky, Colt, Tum Tum, and Amanda makes life difficult for Medusa and her warriors.

Mukta Arts and Green Gold ink MOU to animate iconic film IPs
Kalicharan, Karz, Hero, Karma, Ram Lakhan to spawn animated shows plus features.
MUMBAI: When classic hindi movie meets animation, the result is a fresh reel of nostalgia with a cartoon twist. Mukta Arts Ltd. and Green Gold Animation have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate on animated shows and feature films drawn from Mukta Arts’ four-decade treasure trove of iconic IPs. The partnership taps Mukta’s SGM Animation Studio launched in 2025 as its dedicated animation and games arm and Green Gold’s proven track record in building scalable, homegrown franchises. Creative teams from both sides have already kicked off discussions, with the first project currently in development.
The slate will draw inspiration from landmark Mukta films including Kalicharan, Karz, Hero, Karma, Ram Lakhan, Khalnayak, Saudagar and Iqbal, plus character-led spin-offs from those universes. The aim is to reimagine these stories for today’s young, global audiences while preserving their emotional core.
Green Gold Animation (home of Chhota Bheem) founder and CEO Rajiv Chilaka said, “This partnership with SGM Studios allows us to apply our experience in building long-lasting animation IPs to a truly iconic film catalogue. Together, we aim to create animated worlds that are rooted in these legendary stories, yet designed to connect with today’s young, global audiences.”
Mukta Arts Ltd. filmmaker and founder Subhash Ghai added, “Mukta Arts has always believed in creating stories with lasting emotional value. Through animation, we are extending our IP into a new medium for the next generation.”
In an industry where timeless tales never go out of fashion, this collaboration promises to bring beloved characters back to life with a modern, animated glow proving that some stories are too good to stay in live-action. Stay tuned for the first animated frame to drop.
