"We
are thankful to all the state governments for such overwhelming
support towards the film for the cause. We want every
family in our country to celebrate Janmashtami with
'Krishna aur Kans' and enjoy the adventures and pranks
of their favourite Krishna," said Reliance Animation

Krishna
Aur Kans is the story of Lord Krishna and the brutality
of Kans. It highlights Krishna’s birth and his
victory over Kans. “We’ve watched many animated
films revolving around the Gods in the Hindu mythology

Om Puri, Prachi Save, Anupam Kher, A.K. Hangal and
Mukesh Khanna.
"Schools
across the states have started doing block bookings
of the shows for their students. Even corporate, social
groups and clubs in various cities across the country
have done block bookings for their employees and members.
Also, religious organisations have made bulk bookings,"
Kulkarni said.
