Co-branded campaign · Film · 2015
Hotstar ran a five-week start-to-end Dilwale campaign: the trailer, two song videos, behind-the-scenes films and a one-hour episode of its original show 'M Bole Toh' shot specially with Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol, cross-promoted on Star network channels in India and over 100 countries. Red Chillies CEO Venky Mysore spoke to the deal.
