    Cosmos-Maya celebrates 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi with its brand-new kids’ show ‘Bapu’

    MUMBAI: Cosmos-Maya is launching ‘Bapu’, a new show inspired by Gandhiji, for kids. This development comes soon after the 15th Pravasi Bharatiya Divas, held recently. 2019 also marks the 150th birth anniversary of the Mahatma. 

    Founded by internationally acclaimed Indian filmmakers Ketan Mehta and Deepa Sahi, Cosmos-Maya is a leading India and Singapore based Animation Company that produces high quality 3D & 2D animation content. KKR backed Emerald Media, a Pan-Asia platform established by the leading global investment firm, for investments in the media and entertainment sector, has a controlling stake in Cosmos-Maya. The company presently has 13 shows on air including Intellectual Properties (IPs) like Motu Patlu, Inspector Chingum, Selfie With Bajrangi, Eena Meena Deeka, and is working with all major broadcasters in this space.

    Out of the many gifts Gandhiji left for kids of subsequent generations, the greatest is instilling in them self-belief. “Be the change you wish to see in the world”, said the man who walked almost 400 km for the Dandi March. Cosmos-Maya has been working on the concept for the past two years. The company aims to not only empower half a billion Indian kids with Gandhiji’s values in a non-didactic format, but also to spread the Mahatma’s teachings to kids world over with entertaining, child-friendly storytelling.

    “Kids are an impressionable audience. Hence parental approval is imperative. We aim to make each episode a family affair with parents giving additional commentary.”, Anish Mehta, CEO Cosmos-Maya.

    Suhas Kadav, Chief Creative Officer, Cosmos-Maya and creator of the show said, “Bapu belongs to everyone and is a perpetual part of the collective conscious of us Indians. Our show ‘Bapu’ will help kids learn the value of goodness and inspire and entertain in the process.”

    Anish Mehta, CEO Cosmos-Maya added, “‘Bapu’ will be a tribute to the man who had the power to shape the thinking of generations. Cosmos-Maya’s biggest IPs are all ‘Swadeshi’. With our production might, we are best equipped as story tellers in the sense that we can exercise our Creative Social Responsibility and communicate Gandhiji’s teachings in a fun but responsible manner.”

    ABP News to telecast unique series on Gandhiji ideals and thoughts

    MUMBAI: It was 148 years ago that Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born on the 2nd of October – ‘The Father of the Nation’ to whom we largely owe our independence. But ‘Bapu’, as we all fondly call him, and his legacy, was not just about the Indian freedom struggle. He had also espoused ideals and practices which ranged from, and impacted various other aspects of our social life. But do we as Indians even remember any of those ideals which were so very close to Gandhiji’s heart?

    This Gandhi Jayanti, ABP News takes a look at these very ideals of Gandhiji and how they have fared over the years – in its all new and unique series, ‘Gandhigiri’.

    ‘Gandhigiri’ will revisit some of Gandhiji’s thoughts on things which he wanted to change in India. Thoughts & ideals he staunchly believed in, espoused and practiced himself and how they have progressed and developed over the years and where we stand today as a society with respect to these ideals.

    Gandhiji spoke openly about Cleanliness, Cow Protection, Communal & Caste Violence. Have we progressed since then? Are we following what Gandhiji taught us? We will be covering these four topics in detail.

    So tune in to ABP News from October 1st onwards, every Sunday at 9.30 pm and discover how the ideals of the ‘Father of the Nation’ have withstood the test of time and circumstances – with ABP News’ ‘Gandhigiri.’
