The show has managed to acquire a massive fan following and to bring it to their viewers, the marketing strategy has been a theme-based one. Lets take a look at it.

The ‘Coming Soon’ posters were released on all media. After dismissing rumours of the show being scrapped, the release date was announced.
The previous seasons garnered good response and leveraging its popularity the drama makers created buzz with teasers of the series using memes and other popular trends.
After teasers, the trailer was launched. Also, this time, buzz was created around the trailer by utilising influencer reviews and reaction to the trailer videos.
