Sony Sab lights up Ujjain’s sky with groundbreaking 3D holographic show
MUMBAI: When it comes to pushing creative boundaries, Sony Sab just took things to another dimension-literally. In a spectacular fusion of technology, mythology, and marketing, the channel transformed Ujjain’s night sky into an enormous, immersive 3D canvas to mark the launch of its epic new series, Veer Hanuman. This jaw-dropping holographic sky projection-the largest of its kind in India—was unveiled on Mahashivratri, delivering a larger-than-life spectacle that left audiences spellbound.
Harnessing cutting-edge scrim technology, Sony Sab projected breathtaking visuals of young Hanuman’s legendary journey onto a non-dimensional surface, creating the illusion of celestial storytelling floating in mid-air. As light, movement, and sound intertwined, the sky became a stage for an experience never seen before in Indian television marketing.
This industry-first activation showcases Sony Sab’s commitment to reimagining audience engagement. It wasn’t just a launch; it was a moment of devotion, technology, and entertainment converging in a way that redefines how audiences experience television content.
“As we launch Veer Hanuman, we’re drawing on India’s rich cultural heritage and harnessing cutting-edge technology by creating an immersive experience that will captivate audiences,” said Sony Sab head of marketing and communications Vaishali Sharma. “Our innovative approach with this breathtaking 3D holographic sky projection will break new ground, enabling us to connect with viewers in a fresh way. Ujjain served as the perfect backdrop to mesmerise audiences and set the tone for a show that will inspire and entertain millions.”
Sony Sab didn’t stop at the sky. The channel rolled out a multi-platform campaign, integrating television, social media, Youtube, and digital activations to bring behind-the-scenes moments, bite-sized content, and interactive experiences directly to audiences.
The highly anticipated Veer Hanuman, premiering 11 March, narrates the journey of Lord Hanuman, from an adventurous young boy to a revered deity symbolising devotion, bravery, and loyalty. Featuring Aan Tiwari, Sayli Salunke, Arav Chowdharry, and Mahir Pandhi, the show airs Monday to Saturday at 7:30 pm on Sony Sab.
With this pioneering holographic spectacle, Sony Sab has set a new benchmark for how television marketing can transcend screens and enter the realm of real-world, immersive storytelling.

Joy Personal Care rolls out Ubtan Face Wash TVC with Shah Rukh Khan
New film pairs star power with simple skincare pitch for summer glow
MUMBAI: Joy Personal Care has unveiled a new television commercial for its Ubtan Face Wash, bringing together Shah Rukh Khan and Sanya Malhotra in a light-hearted campaign aimed at simplifying everyday skincare choices.
The film, which marks the product’s television debut, is set in a retail environment where Malhotra is seen navigating a shelf full of options before Khan steps in with his trademark charm to offer a fuss-free solution. The narrative leans on humour and relatability, turning a routine purchase into a playful exchange.
At its core, the campaign promotes the brand’s ubtan-based formulation, which blends traditional ingredients such as turmeric, saffron and sandalwood to address common summer concerns like tanning and dullness. The messaging keeps things simple, positioning the product as an easy addition to daily routines rather than a complicated skincare step.
RSH Global co-founder and chairman Sunil Agarwal said, “As summer sets in and exposure to sun and heat intensifies, skincare concerns like tan and dullness become more pronounced. Consumers today are looking for solutions that deliver visible results while remaining easy to incorporate into daily routines.”
Echoing the consumer-first approach, RSH Global chief marketing officer Poulomi Roy said, “Through this campaign, we have brought that insight to life in a simple and engaging way, showing how Joy Ubtan Face Wash makes traditional skincare easy and effective. Shah Rukh Khan and Sanya Malhotra add relatability and charm, helping the product connect more strongly with audiences.”
Sharing his experience, Shah Rukh Khan said the campaign stood out for its simplicity and everyday appeal, while Sanya Malhotra highlighted the natural chemistry and playful tone of the shoot.
The campaign will be amplified across television, digital and social platforms, signalling a wider push as the brand looks to strengthen its position in the competitive face wash segment.
Part of RSH Global, Joy Personal Care continues to build visibility through celebrity-led campaigns and sports partnerships, including associations with Kolkata Knight Riders, Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Giants.
With familiar faces, a breezy storyline and a focus on everyday concerns, the latest campaign keeps things straightforward. In a crowded skincare aisle, sometimes the easiest answer is also the most effective one.
