While our service offering as the pioneer of ticketing in India will bring tremendous value to the gross receipts of the film, our own value proposition to end consumers will be enhanced with unique, customized and co-branded content.  We are extremely optimistic about the large number of footfalls that the movie is likely to bring to theatres and multiplexes and we look forward to working with Fox Star Studios on many more projects in the future.”

Vivek Krishnani, Head of Distribution, Marketing and Syndication, Fox Star Studios India, said, “Quick Gun Murugun is funny action comedy which has pan Indian appeal, it is a hugely anticipated film amongst movie lovers all over the country and the online medium will be an added advantage for us to exponentially increase this number.  Our alliance with KyaZoonga will bring us a lot of value and will help us by reaching out to the millennial generation. We believe that this partnership will deliver mutual benefit and set the stage for future partnerships”

Directed by Shashanka Ghosh and written by Rajesh Devraj, Quick Gun Murugun is an unlikely Superhero with Guntastic powers. He is a sincere South Indian Cowboy who considers it his duty to serve and protect.

The movie revolves around mis-adventures of Quick Gun Murugun and his fight with his arch villain Rice Plate Reddy!
