MUMBAI: In a partnership with POGO and Cartoon Network, Bollywood Superstar Salman Khan, will be seen defeating bad guys and giving tips on becoming a superstar in two brand new TV specials created especially for kids.

Both TV specials are complimented with contests that will give kids the opportunity to win exciting prizes including a chance to watch Bajrangi Bhaijaan before the rest of the world.
Giving some valuable acting tips, Salman said, “Sabse pehle toh zaroori hai accha aur saccha hona. Thodi bohot acting aani chahiye. Bollywood mein comedy, drama aur emotion sab hona chahiye.”
Kids can also be a part of this memory by participating in the Selfie Le Le Re with Kris and Salman contest on 18 July 2015 only on Cartoon Network. All they have to do is tune-in to the special and answer the contest question. One lucky kid will get to click a selfie with Kris.
Bheem aur Bajrangi Bhaijaan – 19 July 2015 at 12PM
This 90 minute special on POGO will see Salman Khan drawing parallels between his character in the film and superhero Chhota Bheem – both equally loved by kids across the country. They both do good, help people in need, always stand up for the right thing and are heroes to millions.
Also watch out for Salman and Bheem’s funky dance moves in a special music video that will also air on POGO.
That’s not all! POGO is giving 100 lucky kids a chance to watch Bajrangi Bhaijaan before its release in theatres! All kids have to do is participate in the contest currently running everyday (till 14 July) on POGO at 12PM.
Commenting on Bheem and his character in the movie Khan said, “Jab Bheem hain mere paas, toh darne ki kya hai baat. Bheem aur Bajrangi Bhaijaan mushkil safar bhi lenge kaat, nahin chodenge doston ka saath.”

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.
