Speaking on this initiative, Samrat Ghosh, Cluster Head, East, Zee Entertainment Enterprises Limited (ZEEL) said, “Camera Day is a western concept which didn’t have much of a popularity in the region. However, starting last year, ZEE Biskope curated the occasion with apt hyper local quotient that made it not just relevant but even novel for the Bhojpuri audience. The appeal of such novelty evidenced by the overwhelming response received on its debut,motivated us to launch the second season.ZEE Biskope’s viewer engagement drives have witnessed big brands partnering in the past. With a grander scale, this season of Talent Camera Action will definitely offer wider scope of brand integrations for advertisers to reach out to their relevant audience in the Bhojpuri market.”
Amarpreet Singh Saini, Sr. Vice President, Bhojpuri Cluster added, “Talent Camera Action season 2 brings two major scale-ups: the gratification of an entry into Bhojiwood& the association of popular Bhojpuri celebs Yash & Nidhi. This is in appreciation of the plethora of talented young individuals in the region who look up to such an opportunity, shelving the limitation in their resources. At ZEE Biskope, we believe in engaging with our viewers to an extent that they feel the ‘apnapan’ with the brand rather than being a mere consumer of commoditized offerings. The brand will remain true to its commitment on extending its entertainment offering beyond the magic of movies.”
