DELHI: UTV has introduced an array of marketing
initiatives for its forthcoming film Delhi
6 which include a tour by the main star
cast of the film by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra
to different parts of the country.
UTV
flagged off a Delhi 6 Caravan from
Mumbai on 13 February. The Caravan carries
the cast and crew from the movie to Delhi
and neighbouring Guragaon. Audiences will
get an opportunity to meet the cast and
crew at the premiere of the film.
There
is a Delhi 6 Mela which will be held
at the venue of the premiere in Delhi. The
mela will showcase Delhi culture in traditional
Chandni Chowk style incorporating all elements
of old Delhi, including the cuisine and
customs.
Later
on 20 February, the team will travel to
six different cities including Chandigarh,
Jaipur, Bangalore, Mumbai and Hyderabad
within a span of 24 hours for the promotion
of the film.
Apart
from this series of marketing strategies
for the film, UTV has tied up with brands
like McDonalds, Citibank, Dawaat, Motorola
and Kingfisher. Citibank is offering a co-branded
card to promote the movie.
Says
UTV Motion Picture CEO Siddharth Roy Kapur:
"Three years after our collaboration
on Rang De Basanti, a movie that became
a movement, Rakeysh and UTV are getting
again with our latest offering, Delhi
6. There are huge expectations from
the film for obvious reasons, and we are
confident that the film will live up to
them. We have worked hard to ensure that
our marketing and distribution efforts help
Delhi 6 to reach out to the widest
array of audiences in India and around the
world."
Delhi
6 is slated to release on 20 February
across 1200 screens in India and more than
220 screens overseas.
