Adding to the summer line-up of fresh content, POGO will be premiering a new feature on Kumbh Karan called ‘Kumbh Karan v/s Danavpur’ on May 27, 2012 at 12pm. This time, while blithely straying into Danavpur (the deadliest and the horrifying demon kingdom), Kumbh Karan glug down a vat of golden honey only to realise that it belonged to Danavpur’s evil King Yakshak. Now, to stop the evil king from waging war on Ajab-Gajabpur, Kumbh Karan propose a sports event in which if Ajab-Gajabpur win, the evil king will grant them pardon. But with deadly competitions and old rivals returning for revenge, will Kumbh Karan manage to win the sports event or will evil King Yakshak reign terror on Ajab-Gajabpur?
Following this exciting feature, will be the launch of Season 2 of Kumbh Karan. Together with their best friend Tara and pet porcupine Kaddu, Kumbh Karan travel across the world on a series of adventures, from rescuing trapped princesses to battling crazy creatures to travelling through time. This season also features 2 additional characters: ‘Mishri Mausi’ – the urban wannabe “cool” housewife who lives through her soap operas and her son, Pintu – the dimwitted wannabe “superhero”. These two persistently try to show up Kumbh Karan and earn the title of village saviors but to vain. They are the perfect antiheroes! New episodes of Kumbh Karan start June 3, 2012, every Sunday at 9am only on POGO!
