The stories we hear, and share have a unique ability to spark hope, bring people closer, and remind us that the impossible may not be so impossible after all. While the film is playful and filled with adventure, it’s really about the power of belief and the joy of seeing the world through fresh eyes. I’m grateful that KidZ on Zee 5 Global is bringing this story to a wider audience, and I hope it leaves viewers with a smile and a little more faith in magic”.
Jackie Shroff said, “What I loved most about The Great Grand Superhero is its belief that wonder, kindness and imagination are not things we leave behind as we grow older. In many ways, they’re the very things that help us navigate life. We live in a time when so much around us feels intense and uncertain, and that’s why stories like this matter. They remind us to slow down, connect with each other, and see the world with a little more hope and curiosity. This film is filled with warmth, humour and heart, and playing a character who leads with love rather than cynicism was truly special for me. I’m happy that children can now experience this beautiful story with their families on Zee 5 Global”.
