Zee Cinema bets big on Agneepath’s TV premiere

MUMBAI: Zee Cinema is giving a big marketing push to Agneepath, the Hrithik Roshan-Sanjay Dutt Bollywood hit that it is premiering on its channel on 16 June.

It is also being promoted on the DTH players like Dish TV, Airtel Digital TV and Tata Sky.

Zee Cinema has launched an online campaign across 25 leading websites, including YouTube and Facebook. The channel has been doing interactive promotions with viewers on digital medium. On 16 June, an Agneepath masthead will appear on YouTube along with banner ads in Google and Facebook.
