May 10, 2019, Mumbai: Claps, Chuckles and Cheers – the launch of 2019’s biggest kids show couldn’t have got grander!

Further strengthening the legacy of the Golmaal movie franchise, Golmaal Jr. is an animated series that recreates the comic chaos of the film by pittingtwo prank gangs against each other. Notorious, mischievous and full of life, these two groups are poles apart.

As their banters evolve through funny situations, the fantastic five promise to entertain the young audience and ensure they have the time of their lives.

Speaking about the success of the homegrown characters, Nina Elavia Jaipuria, Head – Hindi Mass Entertainment and the Kids TV Network at Viacom18 said “Understanding of kids, their choices and their diverse entertainment needs has been central to Nickelodeon. We have hence always introduced characters that are relatable, engaging and clutter breaking.

The film has already been popular amongst the family audience and now the PRANK GANG- Gopal, Madhav, Laxman and Lucky are all set to entertain children on Sonic with the Golmaal Jr. animated series. The concept of Golmaal Jr. had been in place for a while and I’m very excited about the partnership with Sonic, to bring this high decibel concept and show to life. Each character and their traits are so carefully crafted that I’m confident kids will love the Golmaal Jr PrankGang.
