Featuring 30 performers and nine original songs, Chhota Bheem: The Musical returns to Mumbai for one more show on October 17 at Nehru Centre Auditorium, following an overwhelming response to its premiere run.

The musical follows Bheem and his friends on their quest to rescue Princess Indumati from Thunndazork, taking them through enchanted forests, underwater kingdoms, magical islands, deserts and icy mountains. The show features 30 performers, with a 12-member backstage team and six technical crew members. Produced by Bhoomi Nathwani and directed by Amatya Goradia, with Shruti Sharma as Creative Head, the production features character costumes, LED visuals and stage lighting designed around the different settings in the story.

The production features nine original songs, accompanied by choreographed sequences that carry the story forward. The music and dance are woven into the characters’ journey, while the costumes and visual effects bring the world audiences know from the animated series to life. The first three performances received an encouraging response from children and families, highlighting the appeal of experiencing the familiar characters and their adventures in a live theatre setting.

Rajiv Chilaka, Founder and Managing Director of Green Gold Animation, said “The real strength of an IP lies in its ability to outgrow the medium in which it was created. Chhota Bheem began as an animated character, but over the years, it has become a part of the lives of millions of children and families. Taking that world to the stage is another step in expanding how audiences experience the IP. As the Indian entertainment industry evolves, we need to think beyond creating successful shows and films to building characters and stories that can thrive across formats. That is how homegrown IP can build lasting relevance, reach new audiences and create value over time.”
