Viacom18’s leading kids’ entertainment franchise, Nickelodeon continues to raise the bar while engaging with its young and discerning viewers. Elevating excitement levels for families across India, Nickelodeon, joins forces with Viacom18 Studios and Aamir Khan’s family entertainer Laal Singh Chaddha that releases today, 11th August 2022.
The film is the endearing story of the determined Laal Singh Chaddha who like our Nicktoons Motu Patlu and Bhoot Bandhus, through innocence and strength of character, overcomes all obstacles.
The collaboration has Nickelodeon raise existing fervor for Laal Singh Chaddha with unmatched and interactive initiatives that will provide entertainment and fun experiences for families to enjoy together. The month-long integrated campaign will showcase Aamir Khan in his Laal Singh avatar having a fun time with India’s favorite Nicktoons including Motu, Patlu, and Pinaki & Happy – The Bhoot Bandhus. With ideas that build resonance with the character of Laal who has childlike innocence and honesty much like Nickelodeon’s young viewers and Nicktoons, the deep integrations will witness Laal immerse himself in the world of Nicktoons seamlessly. Through Nick’s Golgappa Party contest and Sonic’s Bhaag Laal Bhaag contest, kids will also get a chance to meet megastar Aamir Khan in addition to winning a host of exciting prizes by simply participating in the on-air contests.
Nickelodeon has also left no stone unturned to reach out to its young viewers with fun contests like the Chaddi Buddy Contest with Aamir. Finally adding to the endless excitement is an innovative virtual running game that is sure to drive conversations while keeping kids on their toes. Resting on nickindia.com, the virtual game allows one to play as Laal, Motu, or Patlu to chase the feather and collect coins along the way while chasing away evil.
