Hungama TV unveils Pyjama Contest based on mythological shows
MUMBAI: Hunmaga TV has unveiled a new Pyjama contest. This time, the contest is named ‘Kahani Pyjama, Kida Aur Mahahungama Ki’ and is centred around mythological remakes. In the battle named ‘Mahahungama’, the Pyjama heroes (resembling ‘Pandavas’) and their armies will take positions against ‘Keedas‘, the enemies. Hungama TV will rely on the kids across India to join Mahahungama.
The contest will run for three weeks. The first week will witness the clash of foot soldiers from both the forces; in the second week, it will be the battle between the cavalries and the third week will see the clash of the titans where the five Pyjama Heroes fight it out with the Keeda Generals.
Kids have to take away the weapons used at war by noting the unique codes on the weapons and quickly reporting back the codes to Hungama TV by a call or via SMS. The Mahahungama Weapons include ‘Newspaper Astra’ (Vicious newspaper arrows that swat the Keeda force), ‘ Inkbomb Astra’ (a destructive weapon that drops “Ink” on the clean Pyjamas), ‘Istri Astra’ (a powerful weapon that rolls the Pyjamas flat) on the channel.
Informers will make surprise appearances on the channel, giving the viewers clues about when they can spot the various Mahahungama weapons.
Participants can win prizes including 100 Binoculars, 50 Ear Mounted Spy Lights, 25 Spy Vision Goggles, and a Nintendo Wii along with invisible ink pens which can be won every day.

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.
