Zee Studio has strategised an online push for Double Whammy through various social media channels such Facebook, Twitter and YouTube along with other conventional mediums such as banner advertisements. Additional Twitter and Facebook innovations would be created to generate interest around the property and generate curiosity amongst viewers.
