Exclusive: Dholakpur’s Heroes Speak! Inside Scoop on Chhota Bheem And The Curse of Damyaan

While growing up, an animated character that has fascinated kids is Chhota Bheem. Bheem captured the hearts of millions of children across India and has grown into a cultural phenomenon since its debut in 2008. Now, Bheem and his gang are back, and this time we will not see them as animated characters, but in a live-action film. Brace yourselves as Dholakpur is in danger once again!

The young boy with superhuman strength will be back on the big screen in his latest adventure, Chhota Bheem and the Curse of Damyaan. The film will hit the big screens on May 31, 2024. In an exclusive interaction with India.com, the cast of Chhota Bheem had a fun conversation where they spilled the beans on their shooting experience and how much fun they had throughout this journey.

The cast of the film includes Yagya Bhasin as Chhota Bheem, Kabir Shaikh as Kalia, Aashriya Misra as Chutki, Advik Jaiswal as Raju, and Daivik and Divyam Dawar as Dholu Bholu. Talking about his experience working in the film, Yagya Bhasin told us, “It’s just an incredible feeling for me to think that from watching Chhota Bheem, I have become Chhota Bheem myself. The experience is just fabulous, and there are a lot of action scenes that everyone should watch on the big screens. And, there are also a lot of fun scenes with Chutki and the entire gang.”

When we asked Kabir how he feels about being teased by his classmates with his character name ‘Kalia’, the young actor said, “Ever since we started the promotions of the film, my name in the school has been changed to Kalia from Kabir. I don’t know whether kids tease me by that name, but I take it as a compliment.”

Coming to Aashriya Misra, who played the character of Chutki, she said she was able to relate to the character a lot. Misra said, “Chutki is a bit naughty, and I am a bit naughty too. Chutki is Bheem’s best friend. When Bheem doesn’t have power, Chutki gives him laddoos from her pouch to restore his strength. Chutki also helps the whole gang whenever they are in trouble.”

When the entire cast of Chhota Bheem was asked about their experience working with Anupam Kher, who also stars in the film, they were full of praise. They described Anupam as a great actor who brought a high level of professionalism to the set. While he was strict and focused during shooting, he was incredibly warm and fun once the cameras stopped rolling.

The cast shared that Anupam made the experience memorable by engaging with them and even throwing a celebratory party on the last day of filming. He treated everyone to delicious snacks and ensured that the wrap-up was as enjoyable as the shooting process itself.
