Let’s have a look at some promotion done by the movie Sultan:
1. Punching Bag At Railway Stations
Railway Station counters are one of the most busiest places on India. So hanging a punching bag in the ticket counter carrying the movie slogan – ” Wrestling is not a sport. It’s about fighting what lies within!”. Smart I must say!

3. A Game

6. Traffic Signals
When the signal turns red every person has to stand and stare. This idea is well utilized by the team as every time signal went red four people wearing boxing rob and gloves crossed the streets. One who wonders got answers by witnessing Sultan posters on other side of the signal!
7. Digital Guerrilla Campaign
Guerrilla marketing is one of the most precious weapons utilized by marketing strategists nowadays. When on news website some crime news arrived and people clicked on it, a Sultan glove would arrive with a message “Fight It Sultan Style” and shake up the mobile screen.
