At a time when the world can often feel overwhelming, KidZ is bringing audiences a story that reminds us of the power of hope, imagination and human connection. Premiering exclusively on KidZ on Zee 5 Global on 21st August, The Great Grand Superhero is a heartwarming family entertainer that celebrates the magic of childhood, the cherished bond between grandparents and grandchildren, and the extraordinary impact of believing in the impossible.
Directed by Manish Saini and featuring Jackie Shroff in one of his most endearing performances, the film follows a hero unlike any other. Some superheroes wear capes. Some possess extraordinary powers. And then there are those whose greatest strength lies in inspiring others to dream bigger and see magic in the everyday. Blending humour, fantasy, adventure and heartfelt emotions, The Great Grand Superhero promises a delightful and uplifting viewing experience for audiences of all generations.
Siju Prabhakaran, Chief Business Officer, Zee 5 Global, said: “Zee 5 Global has always believed in the power of stories that can connect with audiences across ages, cultures and languages, and The Great Grand Superhero embodies that beautifully. With its blend of humour, heart and imagination, the film captures the special bond shared between grandparents and grandchildren in a way that feels both joyful and universal. We are pleased to bring this story to audiences worldwide through KidZ on Zee 5 Global and hope it inspires families to rediscover the magic of togetherness, imagination and wonder."
Chandan Khandelwal, Business Head, KidZ said: “At KidZ, we love bringing audiences stories that spark joy, and The Great Grand Superhero is one of those rare films that makes you believe in wonder again. In a time when so much of what we see around us can feel heavy, this film celebrates imagination, kindness and the simple joy of seeing the world through a child’s eyes. What makes it even more special is the beautiful relationship between a grandfather and grandson at its core. Jackie Shroff’s performance is filled with warmth, humour and humanity, and we’re excited for viewers to experience a film that feels like a much-needed hug.”
Director Manish Saini said, “For me, The Great Grand Superhero has always been about holding on to a sense of wonder, no matter how old we get. The stories we hear, and share have a unique ability to spark hope, bring people closer, and remind us that the impossible may not be so impossible after all. While the film is playful and filled with adventure, it’s really about the power of belief and the joy of seeing the world through fresh eyes. I’m grateful that KidZ on Zee 5 Global is bringing this story to a wider audience, and I hope it leaves viewers with a smile and a little more faith in magic.”
Jackie Shroff said, “What I loved most about The Great Grand Superhero is its belief that wonder, kindness and imagination are not things we leave behind as we grow older. In many ways, they’re the very things that help us navigate life. We live in a time when so much around us feels intense and uncertain, and that’s why stories like this matter. They remind us to slow down, connect with each other, and see the world with a little more hope and curiosity. This film is filled with warmth, humour and heart, and playing a character who leads with love rather than cynicism was truly special for me. I’m happy that children can now experience this beautiful story with their families on Zee 5 Global.”
