At the launch of the Dulux Velvet Touch integrated marketing campaign, Rajiv Rajgopal, Director Sales & Marketing, Decorative Paints, Akzo Nobel India, said, Over the past three decades, Dulux Velvet Touch has emerged as India's leading premium emulsion brand and has created a distinct positioning for itself in home decor. Fashion trends for walls is more than just a brand positioning - it embodies a mindset that is true to today's dynamic consumers who look at homes as stylised expressions of elegance and living, enabling them to express their individualistic, creative instincts. The newly unveiled collection by Dulux Velvet Touch is designed to make homes look trendy.

According to Farhan Akhtar, actor, director, singer and Brand Ambassador, Dulux Velvet Touch, says, for me fashion is a lot more than clothes and cars. It can even be about the home one lives in and that is exactly what Dulux has been doing for the past many years with its Velvet Touch range giving homes and those who live in them, a medium to express themselves creatively and be fashionably stylish. That is one of the key reasons why I identify with Dulux Velvet Touch and I am delighted to be associated with the leading premium emulsion brand. The new collection with its versatile hues and textures has energized me to stylize my home.

The signature wall decor collection Celebrations designed by ace designer, Manish Malhotra was unveiled today. Dulux Velvet Touch Celebrations is a designer ensemble for walls, a celebration of lively festive colours, embroidery work and Indian textiles inspired from Manish's successful works in fashion and the Indian cinema.

Talking about his signature wall decor collection for Dulux Velvet Touch, ace fashion designer & creative partner for Dulux Velvet Touch, Manish Malhotra said, 'Celebrations' is a theme that every individual relates to. Be it an auspicious moment or simply celebrating the essence of life and living. Dulux has been giving families, across India, a chance to paint the canvas of their homes with various colour combinations, finishes and patterns of their choice. My latest collection has been successfully inspired from my work in the Indian cinema. Cinema is all about colour, fashion and style and my latest wall decor collection Celebrations echoes that verve just perfectly.

The current Dulux Velvet Touch campaign will be largely led by television. It will be further supported by outdoor and BTL (below-the-line) activities in certain regions, and also via digital media - Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.

Coming from a Royal family of Sultanpur (Uttar Pradesh), his popularity in the state and Maharashtra unnerved many political parties that used to govern.
