the game. They have proved it yet again with their trailer launch of Farah Khan directed film Happy New Year. They not just involved
fans in the launch of the trailer that took place in Mumbai on 14th
August, but also opened up many new platforms for the fans to view the trailer

medium were opened for the trailer keeping the user preference in mind. Red
Chillies used all possible Digital Platforms- Social Media, Mobile (VAS),

timelines of all the users who subscribed to the app. “In keeping with the tradition of innovation established by Red
Chillies, we were delighted to launch the trailer of HNY for the first time
across multiple platforms. This was also done to meet the demands of fans who
are consuming talent in ways that suit them. This has given the trailer an
unprecedented footprint and delighted the fans,” said Venky Mysore, CEO RCE.

this isn’t enough, the trailer was also launched on the native video player of Twitter with personalized messages from
the cast of HNY.“Red Chillies and the
cast of Happy New Year understand the value of developing live, personal and interactive
