Even in the animated version, Chulbul Pandey is full of the Salman Khan charm that audiences love. And obviously Dabangg-The Animated Series, just like all of Salman Khan’s movies, is complete with catchy tunes, all of which can be seen in the promo that Khan shared.
The animated series is being produced by Cosmos – Maya and Arbaaz Khan Productions and being streamed on Disney + Hotstar VIP. Salman Khan expressed his excitement for the venture stating, “Chulbul Pandey is a very special character for me because of the love that audiences have showered on him, and the movie, for over 10 years. Animation has opened up yet another dimension for this character.” His brother and producer Arbaaz Khan, who also voices Makkhi said “Dabangg for me, goes beyond just a film or a franchise. The thought behind creating Chulbul Pandey was to make him a household favorite, and the biggest compliment comes from all the love that this character has received from children.
