“Chacha Chaudhary ka dimaag AI se bhi zyada tez chalta hai.”
For decades, this iconic line has defined one of India’s most loved fictional heroes. Today, it takes on a new meaning as EiPi Media announces a landmark licensing partnership to reimagine Chacha Chaudhary and Sabu for a digital-first, AI-powered world.
In collaboration with Pran’s Features LLP and Toonz Media Group, EiPi Media is developing branded, AI-powered microfilms and short-form digital content that brings these legendary characters into a new era—without losing the humour, values, or cultural soul that made them timeless.
A New Chapter for a Timeless Indian IP
Created by legendary cartoonist Pran Kumar Sharma, Chacha Chaudhary has been more than just a comic-book character. He has been part of India’s everyday cultural literacy—appearing in newspapers, comic strips, television shows, and animated series across generations.
Yet, like many legacy Indian intellectual properties, the character’s true commercial and narrative potential in the digital ecosystem has remained largely untapped.
This partnership aims to change that.
By licensing EiPi Media to create AI-driven, short-form animated content, Pran’s Features LLP is enabling Chacha Chaudhary and Sabu to evolve from static frames into performance-driven, hyper-realistic AI personas—built specifically for today’s social-first, mobile-first audiences.
Where Legacy IP Meets AI-Native Storytelling
At a strategic level, this collaboration sits at the intersection of three powerful forces shaping modern content:
- The unrealised commercial potential of legacy Indian IP
- A mature production ecosystem with deep storytelling and animation expertise
- AI-native content creation, capable of delivering cinematic realism at scale and speed
EiPi Media’s approach is not about using AI as a gimmick. Instead, it is about engineering content for high engagement, wide digital reach, and seamless brand integration—while staying emotionally faithful to the original characters.
The result is content that feels familiar yet fresh, nostalgic yet natively digital.
What Makes This Different from Traditional Brand Content
In today’s crowded digital environment, audiences actively skip ads but choose stories. This partnership is built on a clear insight:
Brands no longer win by placing messages inside content.
They win by becoming part of stories people actually want to watch.
EiPi Media is developing a flexible narrative system where Chacha Chaudhary and Sabu exist naturally—without forced endorsements, awkward product placements, or tonal breaks.
Planned content formats include:
- Branded short-form films
- Brand-led narrative campaigns
- Platform-native IP integrations
- Social-first microfilms designed for high shareability
This allows brands to integrate authentically into stories, rather than interrupting them.

Leadership Perspectives: Why This Matters
Rohit Reddy, Founder & CEO of EiPi Media, explains the larger vision: “This collaboration marks a bold step forward in unlocking the true potential of India’s timeless legacy IP. Chacha Chaudhary and Sabu are cultural treasures. By harnessing AI, we’re not just modernizing them—we’re creating hyper-realistic, emotionally resonant stories that brands can authentically integrate into, at digital speed.”
From the IP custodian’s perspective, Nikhil Pran, Director at Pran’s Features LLP, highlights continuity over disruption: “Chacha Chaudhary has always evolved with time—from print to television and now to AI-powered animation. This step thoughtfully extends our legacy while remaining faithful to the essence of a character loved by generations.”
Adding to this, Viswanath Rao from Toonz Media Group emphasizes control and craft: These characters are being reimagined as hyper-realistic, expressive AI personas built for digital-first platforms. The focus is on realism, continuity, and avoiding shallow AI novelty.”
Designed for a Fragmented Attention Economy
One of the biggest challenges brands face today is fragmented attention—audiences spread across platforms, formats, and screen sizes.
Chacha Chaudhary and Sabu offer something rare:
- Instant recognition
- Built-in trust
- Cross-generational appeal
By pairing this legacy familiarity with contemporary cinematic language, EiPi Media is positioning the duo as living participants in the future of storytelling, not just revived icons.
They are designed to move fluidly across:
- Instagram Reels
- YouTube Shorts
- Branded digital films
- Platform-native campaigns
All while maintaining a consistent narrative identity.
Fidelity with Progression: The Core Philosophy
The guiding principle behind this initiative is simple yet powerful:
Fidelity with progression.
- The humour stays intact
- The values remain unchanged
- The visual identity stays anchored in Pran’s original creation
What evolves is the medium, the scale, and the speed—aligning the characters with how modern audiences consume content.
The Bigger Picture: AI, Culture, and Trust
This chapter in Chacha Chaudhary’s journey is powered by AI—but defined by how intelligently that AI is used.
Not to replace creativity, but to:
- Scale meaning
- Deepen emotional resonance
- Build long-term narrative value
- Strengthen cultural trust
In doing so, EiPi Media is not just modernizing a legacy IP—it is setting a blueprint for how Indian storytelling can evolve in the age of AI.
