Nagarjuna Launches Season 2 of Animated Series Krish, Trish, and Baltiboy

The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting launched the eagerly awaited second season of the celebrated animated series Krish, Trish, and Baltiboy: Bharat Hain Hum at the ongoing International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa.

Superstar Nagarjuna graced the event alongside Shri Sanjay Jaju, Secretary, Information & Broadcasting; Shri Gaurav Dwivedi, CEO of Prasar Bharati; Shri Yogesh Baweja, DG of CBC; creators of the show Munjal Shroff and Tilak Shetty of Graphiti Studios; Shilangi Mukherji, Director & Head - SVOD, Prime Video India; and Mahima Kaul, Director of Public Policy, Netflix India.

The groundbreaking animated series, which celebrates India's lesser-known freedom fighters, made history with its debut in Season 1 across multiple platforms. Season 2, like its predecessor, will premiere simultaneously on Doordarshan, Prime Video, and Netflix.

The series will be available in 12 Indian languages—including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi, Marathi, Gujarati, Bengali, Assamese, and Odia—along with seven international languages: French, German, Spanish, Russian, Korean, Chinese, and Arabic, making it accessible to audiences in 150 countries, thus greatly expanding its global reach.

Season 2 continues its mission of highlighting unsung heroes from across India, including Taji Dele and Ponge Dele from Arunachal Pradesh, Wazir Ram Singh Pathania from Himachal Pradesh, and Birsa Munda from Jharkhand, among others. These stories aim to instil pride in India's history while celebrating the diversity and resilience of the nation’s freedom fighters.

The Secretary of Information and Broadcasting, Shri Sanjay Jaju, emphasised the importance of such initiatives in fostering national pride among India’s younger generation.

“The diversity of India’s freedom struggle needs to be communicated in ways that appeal to children. By using animation, we’re making these rich histories not only accessible but also engaging. Through these animated stories, we’re offering young minds a chance to learn about the unsung heroes who played pivotal roles in shaping India’s destiny,” said Jaju.

“We are thrilled to launch a new season of Krish, Trish and Baltiboy: Bharat Hain Hum on Prime Video from December 1st. The series beautifully highlights the invaluable contributions of several heroes who played a significant role in India’s freedom struggle, giving viewers in India and around the world a chance to learn more about our rich history,” said Shilangi Mukherji, Director & Head – SVOD, Prime Video India. “We congratulate the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB), Central Bureau of Communication, and Graphiti Studios for producing this wonderful series. The series is a significant step in fostering the growth of India’s creative economy and showcasing Indian stories globally. We are confident that the new season will be as well-received as the first.”

“I have grown up watching many stories from Indian mythology, but learning about our freedom fighters who sacrificed their lives for our country is just as important,” said Nagarjuna. “With Bharat Hain Hum, children and the next generation will get to know about our heroes.”

Munjal Shroff and Tilak Shetty, the series’ creators, added, “The stories of India’s unsung heroes have often been overshadowed, but through this series, we aim to ensure their contributions are remembered and celebrated by today’s youth. It’s not just a story of the past; it’s a lesson for today’s youth on courage, resilience, and patriotism.”

The creators employed nearly 1,000 professionals from across India, including animators, voice artists, and production experts, to meet an ambitious timeline and deliver the series in record time.
