Unlike traditional mythology adaptations, Shivlok Ke Kundakka Mandakka introduces children to Indian mythology through original characters, engaging storytelling, and immersive world-building. The series transforms legendary Asuras, mythical creatures, and ancient lore into entertaining adventures that encourage curiosity, teamwork, courage, and emotional growth, making mythology an accessible learning experience rather than a classroom lesson.
Founded by Arushi Govil and Dalbir Singh, Kayhan Entertainment is built on a creative partnership where life and storytelling come together. Partners in life and partners in creation, the creator-director duo has dedicated itself to building original Indian intellectual property that can resonate with audiences across the world. Their shared vision led them to see extraordinary potential in Kundakka and Mandakka, two lesser-known characters from acclaimed author Anand Neelakantan's work, at a time when few imagined they could become the heart of a children's entertainment franchise. Believing that every great universe begins with compelling characters, they reimagined the mischievous Asura twins into a vibrant world of adventure, humour, and mythology. Their complementary strengths in storytelling, direction, and production continue to shape Kayhan into an integrated creative ecosystem focused on creating original Indian stories with global appeal.
Speaking about the launch, Dalbir Singh, Co-Founder, Kayhan Entertainment - With every IP we create, our ambition is to make Indian storytelling more relevant for the next generation. Smart KidZ helped children navigate everyday life through emotional intelligence, while Shivlok Ke Kundakka Mandakka introduces them to the richness of Indian mythology through adventure and imagination. We believe mythology is one of India's greatest storytelling treasures, and when presented in a fun, contemporary way, it can inspire curiosity, values, and creativity while building globally scalable entertainment franchises rooted in our own culture."
Adding to this, Arushi Govil, Co-Founder, Kayhan Entertainment, said "Children learn best when they are emotionally invested in a story. Our approach has never been to recreate mythology as history lessons, but to transform it into experiences children genuinely enjoy. Through Kundakka and Mandakka's adventures, we want young audiences to discover the fascinating world of Indian mythology while naturally learning about friendship, courage, responsibility, and teamwork. Today's children are growing up in a digital-first world, and we believe it is equally important for them to stay connected to the stories, values, and cultural heritage that define us. At Kayhan, we are reimagining India's timeless mythology through original storytelling that feels exciting, relatable, and relevant for the next generation, ensuring every story entertains first while inspiring curiosity and meaningful learning
