New Delhi: Recently, a popular anime “Naruto” was dubbed in Hindi and other Indian languages, which clearly showed how this form of animation is gaining momentum across all cultures.

It was popular among now-millenials to buy stickers of Goku, a character from the show with amazing powers, when they were kids.
