Q: what will it take to watch #TheFamilyMan trailer before the rest of the world watches it?
A: or this tweet and follow us so that we can send you a secret trailer link!
As promised, Srikant shared the link of the trailer with those who had completed the previous tasks. On September 5, users received a DM with the link to the YouTube unlisted trailer and a video from Manoj Bajpayee with a catch that compelled the viewers to keep the trailer a secret and not to share the trailer link with anyone.
Within two minutes of sharing the DM, the link of the trailer was leaked. The viewers were unable to contain their excitement and keep the trailer a secret, and started sharing the same with their followers, thus proving that India can’t keep a secret.
Adding a layer to this activity, Srikant taunted all those who don’t follow the instruction of following the Prime Video India handle.
You must complete your set of tasks to receive #TheFamilyMan secret trailer link in your DM before the official release. Follow @primevideoin right away!
While other Twitteratis followed Skrikant’s instructions, they shared their excitement and trailer reviews on their handles, without sharing the link and trying to prove that India can keep a secret!
