To continue to add magic with vibrant content in the lives of kids, Disney’s The Jungle Book is all set to be aired on the channel, and will be simulcast in the three languages.

Apart from the widely loved film across the globe, The Jungle Book is the highest grossing Hollywood film of all-time in India. It was one of those rare films that was equally enjoyed by kids as well as adults.
The action-adventure is about Mowgli (newcomer Neel Sethi), a man-cub raised in the jungle by a family of wolves, who embarks on a captivating journey of self-discovery when he’s forced to abandon the only home he’s ever known.
