Dishtv provides the widest HD content across genres and Maximum  TRU HD Channels in the country thus  making it the leader in HD category. This was the brief given to their latest campaign and who better than Shah Rukh Khan whose name is synonymous with perfection to play the role for the said campaign.

The objective of the campaign which will be on air for a month is to create awareness about Maximum truHD Channels only on DISHTV. It also aims to drive conversations around SRK ‘s new avatar and create curiosity among the audience as to who he could be playing this time.

Being a true perfectionist, this time around SRK has portrayed the role of an HD Inspector. Charming, super-energetic and a workaholic are words that have been used to describe SRK innumerable times. But there’s another side to SRK that he takes very seriously. Each time that he steps in front of the camera, he needs every frame to be nothing less than flawless. It is this side of SRK that we will be introduced to audiences as he sports an elegant moustache and dons the role of an HD Inspector for DISHTV’s upcoming campaign that promises Maximum tru HD Channels.In the new campaign for DISH truHD+, the High Definition product from DISHTV, SRK goes behind the scenes to ensure that nothing imperfect reaches his viewers. The campaign created by McCann, Delhi will feature three TVCs, set on the making of TV programs across genres (Daily Soaps, Movies and Wildlife documentary). In each film SRK will be playing the role of the demanding HD Inspector with an eye for detail. 

He is seen picking on even the slightest imperfections on the sets of different scenes like the bindi of bahu not being perfectly round in a Hindi serial, dancer’s nail not being chipped in a Bollywood item song and crocodile’s tooth not looking clean in wildlife documentary! He points and rectifies these mistakes because, Dish truHD+, mein sab dikhta hai. . Audiences need to watch out for SRK in this quirky new avatar.
