Disney+ Hotstar VIP launches a new campaign before IPL with Ajay Devgn and Tamannaah Bhatia

As India prepares for the launch of its most celebrated cricket phenomenon, Vivo IPL, Disney+ Hotstar VIP today rolled out an exciting new campaign – ‘Entertainment Ka All-Rounder’. Conceptualized by DDB Mudra Group, these new films feature popular actors Ajay Devgn and Tamannaah Bhatia; each in a recognizable disguise, as they try to convince people to watch their soon-to-release titles on Disney+ Hotstar VIP rather than just focusing on LIVE cricket action. Ajay Devgn stars as Sudarshan and Tamannaah Bhatia as Manickam, both are put in everyday office situations as they praise their work only to be informed of the platform’s expansive content offering. The quirky campaign signifies the fierce battle that will be fought between the biggest superstars – on & off the cricketing field as they try to win the viewers’ attention.

Sidharth Shakdher, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, Disney+ Hotstar said, “Disney+ Hotstar is the default digital platform for sports in India today, and this year, when India comes to us for Vivo IPL 2021, we will give them a no-holds-barred entertainment experience – Cricketainment in its truest form. Based on the insight that cricketainment is tantamount to having the best of both worlds, we wanted this campaign to reinforce that we are the only OTT brand that offers Vivo IPL 2021 and LIVE sports, along with the latest movies and original shows. And to drive home this message in a fun, memorable and entertaining way, we are launching our campaign ‘Entertainment Ka All-Rounder’ which breaks through the clutter by using never-seen-before avatars of Ajay Devgan and Tamannaah Bhatia”

These ad-films have been rolled out in 3 languages – Hindi, Tamil and Telugu and are available on Disney+ Hotstar VIP’s digital platforms. Business Insider
