New Delhi: In an exciting new development, Excel Entertainment has collaborated yet again with Diamond Toons, the iconic book publishers behind the classic comics Chacha Chaudhary and Sabu. With this partnership, Excel Entertainment’s upcoming release ‘Phone Bhoot’ will now feature in the Chacha Chaudhary comic series created by Prans along with the horror-comedy’s three key characters.
Starring Katrina Kaif, Siddhant Chaturvedi and Ishaan, ‘Phone Bhoot’ takes the audience on a hilarious ride as two clueless ghostbusters team up with a ghost on an elaborate plan to take down an equally hilarious bad guy.
Excel Entertainment had first collaborated with Diamond Toons during ‘Fukrey Returns’ whose characters also featured in a previous Chacha Chaudhary comic. With this association, Diamond Toons will now launch a comic in collaboration with ‘Phone Bhoot’ where the characters will now be part of the Chacha Chaudhary plot-line as he sets off on a new adventure with his sidekick Sabu.
While details of the story remain unknown at this juncture, the series promises to be fun-filled and entertaining with equal doses of spook and laughter
Speaking on the launch of the comic, Mr. Manish Verma, Director, Diamond Toons said, "We are delighted to partner with Excel Entertainment for this exclusive edition of 'Chacha Chaudhary and Phone Bhoot'.
