Nickelodeon joins forces with Viacom18 Studios and Aamir Khan’s family entertainer Laal Singh Chaddha that released today, 11th August 2022. The film is the story of the determined Laal Singh Chaddha who likes Nicktoons Motu Patlu and Bhoot Bandhus, through innocence and strength of character, overcomes all obstacles.
The month-long integrated campaign will showcase Aamir Khan in his Laal Singh avatar having a fun time with India’s favorite Nicktoons including Motu, Patlu, and Pinaki & Happy – The Bhoot Bandhus. With ideas that build resonance with the character of Laal who has childlike innocence and honesty much like Nickelodeon’s young viewers and Nicktoons, the deep integrations will witness Laal immerse himself in the world of Nicktoons. Through Nick’s Golgappa Party contest and Sonic’s Bhaag Laal Bhaag contest, kids will also get a chance to meet Aamir Khan in addition to winning a host of exciting prizes by simply participating in the on-air contests.
Nickelodeon has reached out to its young viewers with fun contests like the Chaddi Buddy Contest with Aamir. The platform also launched a virtual running game allows one to play as Laal, Motu, or Patlu to chase the feather and collect coins along the way while chasing away evil.
