The term 'superhero' is quite often confused with 'super natural.' With Super Commando Dhruv,
the creator Anupam Sinha tried to break away from this staid
imagination. Dhruv is as normal as normal can be. No snakes coming out
of his hands, no cape, no flying in the sky.
"Children see the world very differently... every person seems like a
giant to them and can do something that they cannot. Like taking out a
jar of toffees from the cupboard. The adult is thus a superhero, because
s/he can do something that the child cannot do. Tell me, when do you
move out of reading comics? When you are an independent human being.
Fantasy does not interest you all that much. The psychology of being
dependant, of 'I must have a person to protect me from any impending
danger.' is essentially a child's psyche. That's why I wrote this
character Super Commando Dhruv,” points out Anupam Sinha.
