Mumbai, Nov 11 (IBNS): Setting the trend for entertainment conversations in India, Twitter has launched the first-ever emoji dedicated to a Bollywood film for Yash Raj Film’s (@yrf) Befikre starring Ranveer Singh (@RanveerOfficial) and Vaani Kapoor (@VaaniOfficial) that’s slated for release on Dec 9.

Its core strength of real – time is something that we really value and love to capitalise. On Befikre, we have engaged and built an audience of relevant followers in the shortest time span. When marketing our movies at YRF, we constantly strive to push the boundaries of possibilities to delight and engage the audience with our content. Befikre is the first Bollywood film to deploy the emoji and we are stoked with the audience response.”

Millions of fans use the platform to connect with their favourite stars and films.

This is the first time Twitter has collaborated with a Bollywood movie for a special emoji, which delights fans in anticipation of the movie release.
