Adapted from the Lot Pot comics, the two friends – Motu and Patlu – have been successfully wooing the Indian kids with their hilarious actions, turning into a profitable show for Viacom 18’s Nickelodeon channel since the time it was launched back in 2012. Owing to the positive response, the TV series got itself movies which were released only on the small screens.
And now, in the month of October, the comedy duo are set to get their theatrical release. The movie is named as ‘Motu Patlu: King of Kings’ and is being churned from the studio that’s been handling the Motu Patlu TV series and movies, Cosmos Entertainment and Maya Digital Studios.
So far we have only seen Green Gold Animation’s Chhota Bheem (airs on POGO) get theatrical releases and this would be the first time that Motu Patlu will be seen on the big screens (earlier it was seen in the Orange Carpet premier).
The film comprises lyrical contribution from the Oscar winner Gulzar and noted music composer Vishal Bhardwaj. The animated movie is being produced by Viacom 18 Media and Cosmos Entertainment and Maya Digital Studios. Helming the project is Suhas D Kadav and its producers are Ketan Mehta, Deepa Sahi and Anish JS Mehta.
Motu Patlu: King of Kings will hit the screen on 14 October, 2016.
