The popular Inspector Chingum is one of the characters from Cosmos-Maya’s Motu Patlu and has already featured in more than 400 episodes of the series. He has been part of it for the last seven years. The character will now have its own show.

The new series will have 52 episodes with 22-minute run-time for each episode.

Chingum’s character has been inspired by superstar Rajinikanth. The episodes will also have a modern music blend in them. Funky songs from Baba Sehgal — one of the pioneers of Indian rap — will also feature in the series along with popular numbers like Lungi Dance and Hudd Hudd Dabangg.

Speaking on the development, Anish Mehta, CEO Cosmos Maya said, “The show boasts of a never seen before animation style. We have pushed the envelope of 3D animation quality with Inspector Chingum. Kids in the 200 million odd TV households are in for a real treat this summer.”

“Inspector Chingum has a very lovable persona and is one of the most popular characters on Motu Patlu. He exudes charm, is comical and goes about fighting crime. These are just some of things that make his character very aspirational and endearing.” Suhas Kadav, creator of the show added.
