Big Music joins hands with the Chennai Super Kings as their Entertainment Partner ---- To market music & mobile entertainment content
The Indian Premier League has given the game of cricket a new dimension. TV &, radio stations and consumer brands are vying with each other to piggyback on the IPL bandwagon.
Most have tied up with teams specific to their cities, but there are hardly operational synergies. There are exceptions, though. BIG Music has tied up with Chennai Super Kings as their Entertainment Partner.
Big Music & Home Entertainment will help fans of the Chennai Super Kings own a piece of cricketing history by marketing various merchandise like CDs, music videos, Ring Tones & Caller Tunes, other mobile content, interactive games etc.
Besides the interactive element, Big Music will work towards recruiting support for the team by promoting its anthem and signature tunes on Radio, Television and the internet.
Big Music CEO, Kulmeet Makkar feels that the IPL is one of the best platforms for creating music based products and services. Over the next few weeks the entire country will restructure itself, cutting across political & geographical divides into 8 large aggregates of supporters for respective teams. That is a fairly large addressable audience and music adds that extra zing to the combo of cricket and celebrities.
The Chennai Super Kings songs are about celebration and victory, the music inspires team spirit and motivates them bowl the opponents over.
The Chennai Super Kings Theme Song is a peppy RAP number with a modern outlook, & captivating lyrics in English and Tamil.
The rhythmic Adi Adi Nethi Adi written by Vairamuthu urges the Chennai Super Kings 'as warriors, to set the field ablaze and go for Glory.

There also is a Hindi version of the Chennai Super Kings theme song. Klumeet Makkar added "We have an entire package of promotion on mind and will record a Hindi song performed by Dhoni to take the charm and charisma of the Super Kings beyond Chennai"
