When the Nickelodeon Team invited me for the launch with my daughter, I was ecstatic! Golmaal movies are one of my favorite movies in the comedy Genre. The Glitzy evening started with   Rohit Shetty making his way on the stage to the pranksters Gopal and Madhav’s grand entry on hoverboards to them posing on tandem bikes. 

There were lots of fun games for the kids, my daughter even won the musical chairs and got a picture clicked with her favorite director

Interview with Rohit Shetty about the new series Golmaal Jr. 

Once the event ended, I got a chance at a quick, exclusive interview with the Golmaal Director, Rohit Shetty, himself. Now those who know me, the interview had to be ArtsyCraftsy style, so we decided to prank the prankster! Miss P gave him some Brown “e”s and we made a super simple Jack In the Box Craft that kids can make to prank their friends too.

The Golmaal franchise is very close to my heart. The film has already been popular amongst the family audience and now the PRANK GANG- Gopal, Madhav, Laxman and Lucky are all set to entertain children on Sonic with the Golmaal Jr. animated series. The concept of Golmaal Jr. had been in place for a while and I’m very excited about the partnership with Sonic, to bring this high decibel concept and show to life. Each character and their traits are so carefully crafted that I’m confident kids will love the Golmaal Jr PrankGang.
