Who can possibly forget the funny hashtag #ShashiWasThere. Now, the makers of 'Phillauri' are using technology to an all new level to promote their film. Anushka’s character in the film, Shashi, is a friendly ghost who can be present anywhere, at any given point of time, Fox Star Studios is deploying the 3D Projection technology in cinemas to make Shashi interact with cine-goers across the country.


Yes! This is the first time ever that 3D Hologram projection is being used to promote a movie in India.


“With Phillauri, our endeavor has been to create immersive ideas that transcend conventional norms of fan-star engagement. The unique storyline of the film where the lead actor plays a friendly ghost gives us the opportunity to create experiential marketing that engages and entertains" says Shikha Kapur, CMO, Fox Star Studios.


“Theatres are catchment areas for movie-promotions. The movie-going TG that opens a film on a Friday can be effectively reached out and targeted. We wanted Phillauri to dominate conversations among the movie-going audience right before the release of our film on March 24 and we wanted a never-been-done big idea to achieve this”, she further adds.


Well, the comedy-drama stars Diljit Dosanjh, 'Life Of Pi' actor Suraj Sharma and Mehreen Pirzada besides Anushka in the lead. 'Phillauri' is helmed by Anshai Lal.
