Fukrey, the Bollywood sleeper hit starring Pulkit Samrat, Richa Chadda, Ali Fazal and co-produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani, is now an animated series for kids.
It will be aired on Discovery Kids starting from October 12 this year at 1:30 PM and 7:30 PM everyday. After the success of the movie, the sequel of the movie Fukrey Returns was released which worked even better on the box office.
Animated series Fukery Boyzzz, based on the movie franchise, will have animated avatars of Hunny, Choocha, Laali and Bholi Punjaban along with all other characters. Fukrey Boyzzz will be launched in 6 languages, English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada only on the Discovery Kids Channel. For this Excel Entertainment has tied up with Discovery Kids channel.
“For the first time ever, Excel Entertainment will be extending itself to developing content for kids with Fukrey Boyzzz. This is a huge step forward for us and brings with it, its own sense of accomplishment,” said, Ritesh Sidhwani, Co-Founder, Excel Entertainment.
The crazy trio Hunny, Choocha and Laali, are a true embodiment of Discovery Kids’ brand purpose – Super Heropanti with their crazy cute antics and their jugaad ideas while trying to navigate through school life and outwit their arch-nemesis Bholi Punjaban.
