Hungama announces another ‘Pyjama’ contest
The Pyjamas have now shifted base to Pyjamagadh. Starting 5 May, two Pyjamas namely ‘Bhai’ and ‘Biddu’ will help Pyjama ‘Thakur Kutting’ to clean the dirt off Pyjama ‘Gobbar Singh’ in complete Bollywood style.
To join the hygiene force against dirty Gobbar Singh, viewers will have to collect cleaning agents such as balti, sabun, rassi, brush, water- tanki etc that appear as bugs all through the day on the channel. Once they note the unique code on these, they need to quickly report back to Hungama TV via SMS/call.
Movie CDs, handheld video game, digital camera, portable multi-media player and handycam are all being given away as the participants get promoted at each level. At the end of this month-long contest, the grand prize winner gets to take way a home theatre with an inhouse projection system. |

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.
