This partnership adds another element of ‘Funn’ to the brand while providing additional value to the consumers with the release of custom-packaged Krrish 3 Range of Ice Creams: Choco Block In Cone, Blockbuster Choco Strawberry Stick and Red Velvett ice cream cake.
He adds: “Our consumers and franchisees are sure to be swept up in the excitement the blockbuster franchise is generating. We intend to amplify this association across more than 20,000 touch points. It will be an instant connect to the kids and youth, and be a part of their world. This unique association will present to our consumers a range of exciting products, which is customised and inspired by their superhero.”
In anticipation of the blockbuster release, the brand is launching a 360 degree campaign to celebrate the association of Havmor and Krrish 3.
Producer and director Rakesh Roshan said: “It is a pleasure to be associated with Havmor, as it reflects the same philosophy of the Krrish character, which connects so well with kids and family. And since it connects so well, both have derived value from this association.”
Hrithik Roshan adds, “We are pleased to be associated with Havmor Ice creams, as it shares a great synergy with our core audience. Also, now all my fans can enjoy the special Krrish 3 range of ice creams introduced by Havmor.”
Go Fish which holds its connotation and carries a forte for getting various brands a recognition and a build up in a spectacular manner by allying products with the films has been instrumental in getting Havmor Ice Cream to associate with Krrish 3.
Go Fish Entertainment director Sajay Moolankandan said: “Krrish 3 is Bollywood’s most iconic superhero and connects with kids and families instantly. With such a brilliant film, fantastic integration which is a part of the narrative and similar core audience, it was just the perfect opportunity that we were looking out for Havmor. We have planned a 360 degree campaign to amplify this association as well as a special range of Krrish 3 ice creams.”
