This inspired us to explore a whole new format and bring in two new hosts in Vishal and Simran to make the property more engaging for kids while pushing the boundaries of their imagination and creativity. We are happy that Cello ColourUp, BYJU’S, and ITC Savlon continue to believe in us and are on board this season as well and excited to have a creative partner in The LEGO Group,” said Kevin Vaz, President & Head – Infotainment, Kids & Regional Entertainment Channels, Star & Disney India.
