Mumbai: This independence day, Cosmos-Maya, the animation studio known best for their popular kids’ shows like Motu Patlu, Selfie with Bajrangi and Bapu are entering new adventurous space as they announce their latest IP, Captain Bharat.

Captain Bharat is a celebration of our country’s democracy and unity in diversity. We want the character to be an aspirational role model for kids to become proud, responsible citizens of the future.Keeping with the nationalistic spirit of this special day, it is our absolute pleasure to unveil this newest offering that we are confident will build an immediate and strong rapport with young children and their families across the territory of India. Captain Bharat is our studio coming together to say proudly, Jai Hind!”
