Sony kickstarts promotional campaign for Tokyo Olympics

Mumbai, July 31 

Sony Pictures Sports Network (SPSN), the official broadcaster of the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, on Wednesday kicked-off its initiatives for the upcoming multi-sporting event starting with its on-air campaign, 'Hum Honge Kamyab.

SPSN marks the one-year countdown to one of the world's greatest sports event with the telecast of a series of Olympic Channel shows, which includes India-centric content to further familiarise the audiences with Indian athletes and Olympic sport disciplines.

‘Hum Honge Kamyab' is a call that invokes a strong sense of national pride for our athletes and rallies the nation to unite in a state of support for our athletes for Tokyo 2020. 

The inspiring campaign also aims to motivate the athletes to put their strongest foot forward for the biggest sporting event in the world and make the nation proud through the journey to win medals. 

The film showcases aspiring athletes in training, inspired by their real-life heroes and past Olympians. The track is a stylized version of the anthem "Hum Honge Kamyab". The sentiments of the nation are echoing - "Hindustan dekh raha hai ek hi khwab, Hum Honge Kamyab".

With less than 365 days to go for Tokyo 2020, a specially customised programming line-up of Olympic Channel content will also be aired on SONY TEN 1 channels every Friday at 8 p.m. The content will include India-specific series, which will be aired under "Hum Honge Kamyab!" and non-India content under "The Olympic Dream".
