Mumbai, March 2021: 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 DDBMudra 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.
