Official Statements:

Chandan Khandelwal, Business Head, KidZ said: “At KidZ, we love bringing audiences stories that spark joy, and The Great Grand Superhero is one of those rare films that makes you believe in wonder again. In a time when so much of what we see around us can feel heavy, this film celebrates imagination, kindness and the simple joy of seeing the world through a child’s eyes. What makes it even more special is the beautiful relationship between a grandfather and grandson at its core. Jackie Shroff’s performance is filled with warmth, humour and humanity, and we’re excited for viewers to experience a film that feels like a much-needed hug.”

Director Manish Saini said, “For me, The Great Grand Superhero has always been about holding on to a sense of wonder, no matter how old we get. 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 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 really liked about The Great Grand Superhero is that it reminds you that you don’t have to stop being curious or kind just because you have grown up. These are the things that keep us going. I really enjoyed working with Manish ji and the children on this film. There is something very refreshing about being around kids their innocence, energy and the way they look at the world can rub off on you. Life today can become very serious and fast, so sometimes you need a story that makes you sit back, smile and look at things with a little more innocence. The film has a lot of warmth, masti and heart, and I really enjoyed playing someone who believes in love and goodness. It is a beautiful story for children, but I feel even the grown-ups will enjoy it. Through KidZ on Zee 5, the film will reach an even larger audience and I hope more families can come together and enjoy it”
