    Roadies Revolution resumes shoot in Mumbai

    MUMBAI: The seventeenth season of adventure reality show Roadies started earlier this year in Rishikesh and moved to Himachal just before the lockdown put a grinding halt on all outdoor shoots. However, with all the standard operating procedures issued by the I&B Ministry, the rest of the shoot of Roadies Revolution has resumed in Mumbai starting this month.

    Cast and crew members, on the set, are strictly adhering to protocols starting from social distancing norms to sanitization. It is mandatory to wear masks, face shields and hand gloves. There is stay over facilities for contestants and crew. The contestants who are travelling for the show have been following the necessary quarantine procedures and will be stationed at one place from start to end of the shoot. Also, Covid2019 tests have been done for all the members on the set.

    For an adventure show like Roadies, which requires intense on-ground activity, MTV is ensuring that all shooting locations are equipped with proper medical facilities including an ambulance that would be available on the set at all times. Instead of having a buffet system, all the contestants and crew will be provided with packed food, that would first run through a UV sterilizer.

    The high-intensity tasks on the show will now be conducted in a safe environment under the supervision of professionals, specializing in safety, to ensure that all safety measures are implemented.

    With a daily dose of action and drama, Roadies Revolution is keen on increasing the entertainment quotient for its fans. As the shooting has resumed, the show aims to raise awareness and prioritize safety and well-being to fight against the global pandemic.

    Strict sanitisation procedure presumably began after Rapper Raftaar, who is one of the mentors on Roadies Revolution, along with Rannvijay Singha, Neha Dhupia, has informed that he has tested positive for the Covid2019. He shared the news on 9 September. Raftaar is currently home quarantined. "I wanted to give you an update. I had to go for Roadies and before that, I had to test for Covid2019. Two of my tests were negative, but the result which came today was positive. BMC has asked me to self-isolate," said Raftaar on his Instagram Story.

    MUMBAI: Rannvijay Singha, Rajkumar Rao, Sunil Chettri & Gurpreet Singh unboxed the much-awaited Vintage & Rare Limited Edition Collection Jeans by India’s top fashion denim brand, Spykar. 

    The pre-launch campaign included a teaser release on social media to build curiosity and buzz around the product before the big reveal. Here, the celebrities were seen giving a sneak peek of the wooden cask packaging on their Instagram stories and a shoutout saying “stay tuned for the unboxing tomorrow!” 

    On the launch day, these celebrities unboxed the specially curated wooden cask. After much build-up, the contents of the wooden casks were finally revealed… The Limited Edition Vintage & Rare Jeans by Spykar! The campaign story was weaved around the concept ‘Born 18’ to highlight the importance of being 18. The narrative was to focus on vintage denims that have been pre-aged 18 years using authentic treatments. So now, one doesn't have to wait 18 years to get into a vintage pair of denims to kindle or rekindle their 18-year-old spirit. Here, the celebrities were seen sharing personal experiences and stories about being 18. 

    The next phase of this campaign included India's top fashion bloggers promoting the limited edition Vintage & Rare Jeans on their Instagram handles through posts and insta-stories. These bloggers were carefully chosen to meet with our brand's aesthetic and theme of the collection. Our main aim was to focus on genuine engagement and quality content rather than chasing the ‘number of followers’.

    To amplify the campaign further, radio was added to the mix. India’s leading RJ, Mallishka and her counterparts were been on-boarded to spread the word. 

    So, What made this collection so special? Spykar’s Vintage & Rare Collection Jeans are inspired by aged whiskey. Just as spirit tastes better with age, so is true for denims. The older the denim, the more character. Spykar’s Vintage & Rare collection jeans are pre-aged 18 years using authentic treatments and various wet & dry processes to help achieve that mended, long preserved vintage look. These jeans are handcrafted by skilled artisans and are made with eco-ethical practices. Spykar’s Vintage Jeans are a blend of Vintage Vibes with Contemporary cuts for young men. 

    Sanjay Vakharia, CEO of Spykar says, “Spykar is known for its product innovation & design. And every season we launch an innovative concept for our customers. We realize that we are catering to the “NOW” generation who can’t wait 18 years to create their own Vintage. That inspired us to launch a Pre-Aged 18 year old denim that’s handcrafted to deliver the Vintage vibes in Contemporary cuts”.
