Discovery Kids to roll out new series ‘Luv Kushh’
MUMBAI: Discovery Kids will be premiering a new series titled Luv Kushh on 9 November, 2015 at 1 pm. The series revolves around the twin brothers Luv and Kushh and will narrate their notorious tales of fun and adventure.
Discovery Networks Asia-Pacific executive vice president and general manager South Asia Rahul Johri said, “Discovery Kids continues to entertain kids with its variety of programmes and genres, endearing characters and exciting story lines. The new series, Luv Kushh will take kids back to the era of gurukuls and recreate the age-old traditions of the student-teacher relationship.”
The stories will take place in and around Valmiki’s ashram, located by the river Tamasa. The series shows the journey of the twins from growing up under the watchful eye of the sage and their mother. Apart from fun and frolic, the brothers are also tutored in martial arts. With instances of naughtiness, sneaking around, disobeying the rules of the ashram, or keeping their powers and adventures a secret from their mother Sita, the overall portrayal of the brothers is close to that of regular kids rather than all-powerful heroes.

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.
