From ‘Motu Patlu’s’ iconic friendship to ‘Rudra’s’ magical adventures to ‘Chikoo and Bunty’s’ relatable sibling banter to the first homegrown sci-fi kids’ comedy series ‘Abhimanyu Ki Alien Family’ and much more, Nickelodeon has identified whitespaces and addressed the consistent demand for engaging and immersive storytelling.

Nickelodeon is set to bring its recently announced 13th homegrown IP – ‘Kanha – Morpankh Samraat’ on Sonic beginning May 28, every day at 10.30 AM, further fulfilling its promise of propelling indigenous stories.

‘Kanha – Morpankh Samraat’ is a captivating mythological series that chronicles the evergreen tales of the adolescent Kanha and traces his journey as a son, warrior, hero, and friend, showcasing his playful and mischievous antics.

Each episode tells a legendary story from Kanha’s life, highlighting his brave acts and lessons in love and kindness.

Recognising the show’s potential for broader appeal, Nickelodeon will move it to Viacom18’s Hindi general entertainment channel Colours Rishtey, thereby strengthening the kids’ franchise’s presence across different age groups and broadening its impact.

“While Kanha is an evergreen character, it’s time to bring back his tales in a new avatar that appeals to a wider audience.

“Our partnership with Cosmos-Maya further amplifies our commitment to creating groundbreaking content that sparks imagination and ignites young minds,” Sikka added.
