Mumbai Indians has announced the launch of Season 2 of Mighty Indians, featuring over 20 new 3D webisodes that expand the animated superhero universe centered around the franchise's iconic players.

This new season builds on the success of Season 1, offering richer storytelling, high-quality 3D animation, and deeper character arcs, all created by Green Gold Animation, the studio behind Chhota Bheem.

Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya become Superheroes

The animated series transforms star cricketers such as Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Deepak Chahar, Will Jacks, and Trent Boult into a team of superheroes, each with a unique origin story and special powers. Since its inception, the series has garnered over 47.5 million views across various formats and become one of the most popular crossover intellectual properties in Indian sports entertainment.

Beyond digital content, Mighty Indians has extended its presence with 12-foot superhero statues installed at Mumbai Airport Terminal 2 during the IPL 2025 season, reaching more than 85,000 travelers daily. The franchise is now scaling into merchandise categories such as toys, apparel, school supplies, publishing, and collectibles with encouraging early prototypes and ongoing brand collaborations.

A Mumbai Indians spokesperson highlighted, "Mighty Indians is more than an animated series - it's an extension of our philosophy to engage fans beyond the boundaries of the cricket field. With Season 2, we are expanding this universe through immersive 3D storytelling and richer stories. It reflects the spirit of the Mumbai Indians and brings it alive in a way that resonates with young audiences and families alike."

Rajiv Chilaka, Founder and CEO of Green Gold Animation, expressed, "This has been one of the most creatively fulfilling projects we've ever worked on. We've built some of India's most beloved characters, but Mighty Indians gave us the chance to blend cricketing icons with mythic storytelling and create something that has both local heart and global potential."

Shiv Burman, Founder of Burman Sports, added, "We used to watch cricket in a linear way - match days on television, and that was it. But today's kids have countless options competing for their attention, and if we want cricket to stay relevant to them, we have to meet them where they are. Mighty Indians is our way of doing just that by combining the power of sports heroes with the universal appeal of animation. It's a format that not only entertains but builds long-term emotional connection with the next generation of fans. We're already working with licensing partners to create merchandise, and multiple discussions are underway with brands looking to connect with children and families by leveraging the might of Mumbai Indians through this IP."

What started as an animated series has now become an integral part of cricket culture in India, blending storytelling and fandom in a more imaginative and engaging way for families and young audiences. This announcement was made on August 8 and scheduled for publication on August 9, 2025.
