From the time Tubelight’s promotional activities have begun, social media has been constantly abuzz with fans showering their love and praises galore for the film. Adding another milestone to its kitty, Tubelight has now become the first Bollywood film to have a special character emoji in his name! This emoji also makes Tubelight the first Salman Khan movie to have a Bollywood emoji.
As a way of giving back to his fans for their unconditional love and affection, the makers of Tubelight and Twitter have joined hands setting a new trend in terms of digital innovation. Together, they have created a special emoji of the actor that appears every time you use a hashtag related to the film like #TubelightKiEid, #Tubelight, #Radio and others.
According to Mr. Viral Jani, Head TV and Entertainment Partnerships, Twitter India, “Twitter is the best place for fans to find out what’s happening in the Bollywood world. It’s an integral part of an overall film experience for fans today, as they can connect and engage with their favourite celebrities and vice versa through the platform. This is the first-time Twitter has designed a special emoji for a Bollywood character in collaboration with the film production house to delight fans. We are excited to partner with Salman Khan Films on their unique use of Twitter for Tubelight and we aim to drive more conversations around one of the most talked about topics on Twitter – Bollywood!”
