In 2012 we had seen an animated movie titled ‘Chhota Bheem and the Curse of Damyaan’. The movie had received a lot of love and so the makers have now brought a live action movie.

After the announcement of the movie, the audience was excited. As the movie hit the big screens on 31st May, the audience gave it a thumbs up. Even netizens appreciated the movie very much. Surely the credit goes to the director Rajiv Chilaka, the actors Makarand Deshpande, Anupam Kher, Swarna Panday, Kabir Sajid and many more. The credit also goes to the writers Shridisha Dilip and Niraj Vikram.

In an exclusive interview with Tellychakkar, writer Niraj Vikram talked about the response for the movie, and how Anupam Kher became a part of the movie.

What do you think about the response that the movie is getting?

Niraj Vikram said, “We feel very happy, very elated that people are liking the movie, kids have loved the movie and even adults have liked the movie because it was our aim to make it as a family entertainer not only as a kids movie. In our country there’s a problem ki only kids wali movie pe parents don’t like to come and they wait for the movie to come to OTT because everybody is busy so they feel ke abhi apna time kyu waste karein. Bacche dekh lenge but if it is a family entertainer then parents will also come with the kids. Not that the kids will force them to come but the parents will come with their kids. So that was our aim and I think we have achieved it and we are very happy.”

Did you have Anupam Kher in mind while writing the movie? How did you approach him?

Niraj Vikram said, “No no I didn’t have Anupam ji in mind but I wrote the character and once the character was written then with producer director Rajiv ji we started thinking who will fit the role and except Anupam ji no other name came to our mind. So as if this role was written for him only there is no other actor who could play this role in the present scenario. So then Rajiv sir contacted him, things went forward and he (Anupam Kher) liked the role and he agreed to do it.”
