Chhota Bheem has a brand new avatar for his upcoming film Chhota Bheem- Himalayan Adventure


 
India’s favourite laddoo loving superhero, Chhota Bheem is the country’s most beloved cartoon character and the apparel, toys, games, comic books, stationery and other merchandise is a testimony to the Chhota Bheem’s popularity.

This winter, Chhota Bheem will be seen in a completely new and stylish avatar in Chhota Bheem – Himalayan Adventure, the official trailer for which was recently released.

The storyline follows Bheem to the snow capped Himalayan Mountains where he will not only enjoy some snow filled adventures but also take on the evil dacoit, Hidimbak. In keeping with the plot of the film, Chhota Bheem’s character was given a stylish new look and a lot of research went into this. The team who worked on the film even visited the Himalayas to study local customs and traditions in order to breathe life into the script.

Talking about the new look, Hyderabad based, Rajiv Chilaka, CEO, Green Gold Animation and the creator of Chhota Bheem said, “Children have a strong sense of loyalty to their preferences. Bheem is their trusted companion so any form of experiment with the character needs days of planning and research. We stuck to the colour scheme, which is earthy but gave Chhota Bheem a new look that fits his mountainous journey. He will be seen wearing warm clothes, jackets, breeches, caps, skiing goggles, and off course his skiing gear. We took more than a year of research and back end development to arrive at this look along with the storyline”.

Not only will Bheem’s friends, Chutki, Raju, Jaggu, Kalia, Dholu and Bholu join him on this Himalayan Adventure but they will also have their own jacket, scarf and warm mitten clad looks.

Talking about the new film, Samir Jain, producer added, “Bheem is our star character and anything around him becomes very special for us. It also means more hard work where we have to continually reinvent and challenge ourselves. We wanted to come up with a film with a winter theme. This is a holiday and festive season so we really wanted to scale up Bheem’s adventures to give our audiences something fresh. The setting is perfect and now we can’t wait for the film to release”. 

Audiences can watch Chhota Bheem in an action packed and thrilling mountain adventure when Chhota Bheem Himalayan Adventure releases on January 8th, 2016.

Stars sharing a few incidents of their life with Yaar Mera Superstar

C:\Documents and Settings\prachi.srivastava\Desktop\Prachi\Logos\zoom new logo CMYK-01.jpg

1)     “The younger bunch of actors in the Bollywood industry promote each other’s movies and performance,” says Ranveer Singh when asked about Tamasha
Ranveer Singh feels that its actually fallacy that the film industry is extremely competitive and cut throat. “It’s actually chilled out. It may have been in past generations. I don’t know since I wasn’t around in the industry but I think the newer lot is not that competitive everybody is doing their own thing. I would say all that I have worked with are a part of my life. They’re all my friends – Kriti, Sonakshi, PC, Vikram, Zoya, Deepika, Manish, Sanjay Sir, Bhansali. These people are so dear to me. As a matter of fact, we actually promote each other’s films like I just congratulated Ranbir on his performance in ‘Tamasha’ and promoted his film and vice versa,” he shares with Garima Kumar, host of Yaar Mera Superstar on Zoom.

2)      Ranveer Singh accepts he doesn’t understand fashion and style
Ranveer Singh who has always been in the news for his funky style of dressing accepts that he does not understand style and glamour. He shares with Garima Kumar on Zoom’s Yaar Mera Superstar “I wear whatever my heart likes; I blurt out whatever my heart wants to say; I do whatever my heart feels like. Now how people interpret it…whether its stylish or fashionable is not something that I have ever really understood. I have a dozen suits. I just pick up whatever I like and get ready in 5 minutes. That’s all there is to it!”

3)      Ranveer Singh thinks that he has few qualities that of a horse
Reining Bollywood superstar Ranveer Singh thinks that he is powerful, fast, tall and handsome as a horse. While chatting with Garima Kumar, host of Yaar Mera Superstar, a show on Zoom, Singh also shared that in the last one and a half years while he was shooting ‘Bajirao Mastani’, he didn’t do anything else and was focused like a horse with a blinker on. He shared, “It really helps perhaps to deliver a solid performance for which you have to be fully immersed in it. I need a single-minded focus and hence that’s what I did for the whole year.” In the movie, there is a horse named Aryan which Ranveer rides. “In the whole film, I rode one horse, Aryan. During the shoot, I got flung off and hurt my shoulders. But to ensure that I don’t get hurt further, Aryan jumped over me.”

4)       Shah Rukh Khan’s first jeep was repossessed by the bank!
Even fate cannot frown continuously on a hard working and truly talented person! And today, the Baadshah of Bollywood (as he is famously called), Shah Rukh Khan rides cars that are worth million bucks. “My first jeep (second four-wheeler in life after a van) that I had bought during the shoot of Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman was acquired by the bank for non-payment of the money. Juhi then lent me her car for the remaining shoot. Years later, when I was at a hill station for the shoot of Trimurti, I was being driven around in a car and suddenly I realized that the car looked familiar. Apparently, they had sold the cars in lots and the one in which I was, was my car (which was taken away from me!). I used to ride in the car with Jackie (Shroff)”, Shah Rukh Khan told Garima Kumar who hosts ‘Yaar Mera Superstar’ on Zoom.

5)      Do Varun and Kriti think DDLJ’s Raj and Simran exist in real life?
Kriti Sanon and Varun Dhawan who represent the youth of the country recently expressed that the iconic couples of silver screen, Raj and Simran from Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge don’t exist in real life. Kriti shared that “we girls are tired of looking for a guy like Raj but haven’t ever found one. I really doubt such guys exist.” Varun Dhawan, taking boys’ side, told Garima Kumar who hosts ‘Yaar Mera Superstar’ on Zoom that “even girls like Simran don’t exist.” Shah Rukh Khan who was also a part of the show, ‘Yaar Mera Superstar’ jokingly commented on Varun’s reply saying, “he’s very clear about the girl. If she doesn’t love him, he’ll push her off the terrace, and even if she loves him a lot, he’ll still throw her because he wants his freedom.” Now that’s quite a revelation about Varun!

6)       Varun Dhawan likes girls in the driver’s seat!
Varun Dhawan is one desirable, young, handsome bachelor in the film industry today. While many girls would kill to share a front seat ride with him, Varun feels thrilled about the thought of being in a car with a girl who is driving it instead. I like it when girls ride the car. I enjoy that. I can tell them wherever I want to go. I like women mothering me and pampering me”, Varun told Garima Kumar in Yaar Mera Superstar, a show on Zoom.

7)       What puts Kriti Sanon off?
Kriti Sanon, the charming newbie of Bollywood, recently bought her first luxury car. “I recently bought my first BM with my own money. Though I’m not a car lover generally, I’m really happy about that. I’m fond of driving but not on Indian roads as there’s too much traffic here. I love long drives and I love bike rides more than anything else”, Kriti shared with Garima Kumar on ‘Yaar Mera Superstar’, a show on Zoom.

 8)  Reel life romantic Shah Rukh does not believe in carrying his heart on his sleeve in real life!
Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is a father to three lovely kids – two sons and one daughter. While his heart beats for his adorable kids, he prefers not sharing his feelings with people always. “I don’t always express and say but that’s how love should be. I may be doing it in films, but I don’t in real life. It is nicer to keep it in your heart. It  makes you deeper, sweeter, kinder, gentler and also darker”, Shah Rukh Khan shared with Garima Kumar on ‘Yaar Mera Superstar’, a show on Zoom. 
On another question about what his fantasy is, Shah Rukh told Garima,  “If I were to romance a girl in a car, I would want her to drive it. This is my fantasy. This is the closest I have come to any romantic fantasy that the girl drives me. Even on my outstation shoots, I don’t tell my heroines why but I ask them ‘Would you like to drive”.
