Slated to premiere in early 2017, ‘Sheikh Chilli & Friendz’ is expected to bring clutter-breaking and heart-warming entertainment to millions of kids across India.

Discovery Networks Asia Pacific VP, entertainment products, South Asia Rajiv Bakshi said, “’Sheikh Chilli & Friendz’ will be one of the most endearing series on Indian television. Each character has been crafted to offer unmatched entertainment and will reset the narrative of kids’ content. Nothing stimulates mind more than an overwhelming emotion of humour and this series will offer it in abundance.”

The franchise was introduced to children on television through a movie, aired early in the year on Discovery Kids. It has been conceptualised and created in partnership with the Mayapuri Group and iRealities Entertainment.

The story revolves around the adventures of an innocent boy name Sheikh Chilli and his friends in Jhunjhun Nagar. He has his heart in the right place, but his plans and actions are a source of humour as well as trouble for his friends. He is joined in his adventures by his classmate Malika, friend-turned-brother donkey Bulbul, pocket-sized dwarf Khatkoo and the enchanting Noorie Djinn.

iRealties-Apson present 'Sheikh Chilli' on Discovery, Shoojit leads next project

MUMBAI: Not long ago, iRealities Entertainment made history with the blockbuster 3D animated movie "Chaar Sahibzaade" with heart-touching story-telling. They are now set to recreate the same magic with cutting edge animation in partnership with Apson Entertainment to bring you ‘Sheikh Chilli and Friendz’ to be aired on Discovery Kids.

iRealities has been successful in bringing two powerful forces of rich multimedia content and technology together to deliver several successful projects.

The new series is loosely based on 'Sheikh Chilli's the comic legend from Lotpot, the comic magazine from Mayapuri Group. Sheikh ‘Chilli and Friendz’ is about a kind-hearted simpleton Sheikh Chilli and his adventures with his friends. It all begins one day when Sheikh Chilli stumbles upon a Genie. It is that day when life changes and becomes full of adventures for him and his friends.

There are several primary characters in the film like Sheikh Chilli, the talking donkey, genie, witch and her talking broom and many more. The characters are based in the modern world and are well equipped with technology so that kids of this generation can connect to it. The script has been worked and reworked by some eminent writers and filmmakers of the film industry.

iRealities CEO Prasad Ajgaonkar says, “Today's kids are very different from the way you and I grew up. They are far more inquisitive and challenge the norms. They are independent young individuals that demand to be entertained and enjoy newness all the time. We have worked very cautiously and precisely, to shape up and create each character and make it likeable and relatable to this new generation. There is absolutely no compromise in terms of quality. We have used hair, fur and minute texturing to bring out the feel of each character in a strong way so that the whole look is quite distinct then the usual content being broadcast on TV.”
