"As India's number one kids' entertainment broadcaster, Turner has been leading the industry in the creation and development of original animation by nurturing Indian intellectual property, partnering with up-and-coming studios to create hits such as Chhota Bheem, and working with production houses regionally to create contemporary animation legends akin to Tom & Jerry. As a natural progression, and as part of our "Desi Toons' roll out, we are delighted to premiere Kumbh Karan on POGO. We hope that kids will enjoy journeying to Ajab Gajabpur as much as they do travelling to Dholakpur!," said Krishna Desai, Director Programming, South Asia, Turner International India Pvt. Ltd.
Kumbh Karan features the hilarious escapades of identical twins Kumbh & Karan, who despite being identical are in fact the exact opposite of each other. Kumbh, named after the demonic giant from Ramayan loves to sleep and eat! Karan shares Kumbh's eyes and big ears and the similarity ends there! He is named after the skilled warrior Karana from Mahabharata. The two live in a fictional town called Ajab Gajabpur and are the darlings of the village.
