For starters, the studio's youth channel Bindass will air a reality dance show themed around the film. It will trace the journey of three passionate dancers, who team up to pursue their dream of representing India at one of the most coveted international dance stages. The cool ABCD merchandise, which will include apparel and accessories and an interactive mobile game inspired by the movie on Indiagames, are also aimed at giving viewers an out-oftheatre experience and some keepsake memoirs.

It is now growing beyond the realm of the silver screen and will move on to platforms like gaming, apparels and a TV show too.“
