MUMBAI: Sony Pix will take the viewers on a thrilling, adventurous journey with cloned dinosaurs in their Billion Dollar Premiere property. The channel plans to air Jurassic World on 22 October at 1 pm and 9 pm.

Owing to its visual spectacle and nail-biting narrative, the movie got an opening of over US$500 million worldwide.

“Jurassic World is the second highest grossing film of 2015 with Rs 1.6 billion in revenues. It was a natural choice for us to showcase a film of this scale first on our channel as Sony Pix is synonymous with Hollywood Blockbusters. In fact, other blockbusters of 2015 like Furious 7 and Minions also premiered first on Sony Pix. So our strategy is to invest in great content that will leave our viewers Amazed,” said Sony Pictures Networks India (SPN) English entertainment cluster executive vice-president and business head Saurabh Yagnik.

Apart from having A-listers actors like Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard and Brian Tee, the movie also stars veteran actor Irrfan Khan in a suave role of Simon Masrani.

Khan said, “I have always enjoyed working in Hollywood movies and being a part of a record breaking movie - Jurassic World was a great opportunity. I am glad that Sony PIX will be airing the movie for the first time on Indian Television and this must-watch family entertainer will surely reach out to a larger audience. Kids, teens or grown-ups, this film is sure to be loved by all those who watch it!”
