The expectations and buzz were high - and one
of the biggest merchandise launches of this year did not disappoint anyone, as
Bollywood’s heartthrob actor Hrithik Roshan launched the official Krrish 3
collection at hotel JW Marriot in Mumbai. The country’s only superhero
franchise, through its retail products, promises to touch new heights in the
licensing industry.
Krrish 3 is the latest chapter in the
superhero franchise created by film maker Rakesh Roshan, and stars Priyanka
Chopra, Vivek Oberoi and Kangana Ranaut besides Hrithik Roshan. With Krrish 3
releasing soon, the potential for merchandise sales is stupendous.
The official merchandise, in a deal
facilitated by Mumbai based licensing firm Dream Theatre includes a wide range
of products across various categories. The prime attractions are the action
figures of Krrish, Kaal and Kaya; kids’ apparel, school supplies, impulse toys
such as frisbees and Yo-Yos, skates, ride-ons and publishing which includes
activity and colouring books. Additionally, there are food products (candies,
confectionery, noodles), home decor items and accessories such as pendants and
cufflinks. The prices of these begin from Rs 99 and go up to Rs. 3499. The film
also has consumer promotions with leading brands like Kelloggs Chocos, Cadbury
Bournvita and Del Monte.
The sheer breadth of this merchandising deal
makes it one of the most unique and exciting ventures of the year, that will
wow children and youth alike with its attractive merchandise. The Krrish 3
licensed products range is the outcome of Dream Theatre working with Carving
Dreams to ensure the brand extensions are consistent with the brand Krrish 3.
Krrish 3’s distinctive merchandise is
targeted at children and youth. The range comprises more than 150 products and
will be available at 5000+ chain stores, stand alone stores and on leading
E-commerce sites. The franchise bears the attributes of fun, family, teamwork,
friendship, adventure and action and the license programme leverages the same
values across the range.
