A Big Drop by aha OTT at Hyderabad’s Hussain Sagar for Dance IKON 2 Wildfire

HYDERABAD: In a spectacular marketing campaign, aha, the leading regional OTT platform, has set a new benchmark for innovation with a jaw-dropping visual display at the heart of Hyderabad. To mark the grand return of its much-awaited dance reality show, Dance IKON Season 2: Wildfire, aha placed a massive 5-ton floating spectacle in Hussain Sagar Lake, transforming the city’s skyline into a one-of-a-kind billboard.

This unprecedented installation, one of the largest of its kind in Hyderabad in the past decade, instantly became a landmark attraction.

The reaction has been phenomenal; visitors near the Buddha Statue were stunned, and the installation quickly became a selfie magnet and a social media sensation.
