On the association with Bachchan, Anil Khera, chief executive officer, Bharat Business Channel says in a press statement, "As our brand's face, he will be instrumental in communicating the benefits to consumers across the country."

Bachchan will feature across the entire Videocon d2h brand and product communication, including television commercials, print, outdoor, radio and BTL activities. Publicis Ambience handles the creative duties for the brand.

Launched in 2009, Videocon d2h is the latest entrant in the DTH segment in India and offers the world's first satellite product range. These products receive DTH services directly and do not need a set top box.

Videocon d2h has partnered with Irdeto, as it offers pay-TV operators a versatile, modular and scalable Conditional Access system (CAS), which protects content conveyed over cable, satellite, terrestrial, IP, mobile and hybrid networks. Similarly, Videocon d2h is also associated with Tech Mahindra as its IT partner and IBM, to provide a world-class technology infrastructure.
