ACTION G.A.N.G: A DECADE IN THE MAKING

Bhooshan’s Junior has unveiled the Next Gen heroes of The Action G.A.N.G – Grandma & Next Gen, a new original IP ten years in development. Rooted in Indian sensibility but crafted for global audiences, the project will debut its first teaser at AnimationXpress’s Animation & More Summit in Mumbai this August.  

Some intellectual properties are born in a year; others take a decade to find their voice. For Sarath Bhooshan, CEO of Bhooshan’s Junior, the journey of The Action G.A.N.G – Grandma & Next Gen has been a long and deliberate one. Conceived in 2016, well before the studio itself formally began operations, the idea has evolved through countless iterations, creative explorations, and design refinements.  

What started as a spark has now matured into a fully realised universe. Earlier this year, Bhooshan’s Junior introduced audiences to Grandma, the central figure of the narrative. Now, the studio has revealed the Next Gen heroes who will share her world and propel the adventure forward. Together, they embody a blend of tradition and modernity, reflecting an Indian sensibility while aspiring to resonate with global audiences.  

Sarath Bhooshan emphasises that while technology, production models and platforms continue to evolve, storytelling remains the heart of every successful IP. Behind the newly released poster lies years of creative labour, from character design to narrative development, all driven by the studio’s commitment to originality and cultural authenticity.  

The unveiling marks a significant milestone as the project enters its final stage of pre-production. The first teaser is scheduled to be showcased at the Animation & More Summit 2026, organised by AnimationXpress in Mumbai on 28–29 August. This early glimpse is intended not only for audiences but also for broadcasters, OTT platforms, studios, co-production partners, investors, licensing partners and the wider global animation community.  

For Bhooshan’s Junior, The Action G.A.N.G represents more than just a new property; it is a testament to perseverance, creative ambition and the belief that Indian storytelling can thrive on the world stage. From an idea born a decade ago to a universe ready for its next chapter, the studio is preparing to share its vision with the world.
