A popular sport, volleyball is played across the length and breadth of the country.

The ‘Prime Volleyball Jahaan, Public Wahaan’ campaign is based on the premise that every Indian has either grown up playing or watching volleyball at some stage of their life. Wherever volleyball is played, it attracts and engages an audience across demographics is the core insight that drives the campaign. The film is conceptualized by Sony Pictures Sports Network and executed in synergy with the sports marketing firm, Baseline Ventures, who are the co-owners & are exclusively marketing the league.
The ‘Prime Volleyball Jahaan, Public Wahaan’ campaign film showcases a group of young children, enjoying a game of volleyball in a small society, who call in the top volleyball players of the country to play a match. Indian volleyball players like the current captain of the national team, Karthik along with Jerome Vinith, Ashwal Rai, Deepesh Sinha, G.S Akhin, Naveen Raja, Ajithlal and Hari Prasad join in the game and are seen showcasing their skills on the court. The players engage the audience with their brilliant performance and are cheered on by a diverse set of spectators. SPSN aims to bring to life the nostalgia that the Indian audience has for the sport of volleyball through this slice of life campaign and spike the ball for an exciting season of the upcoming RuPay Prime Volleyball League powered by A23.
