Twitter sets the trend when it comes to bringing events to life and engaging in real-time conversations, and this time it is for none other than the globally renowned 62nd Jio Filmfare Awards 2017 in India.

In collaboration with Filmfare (@filmfare), Twitter will be pumping the excitement for the Jio Filmfare Awards by launching the first-ever custom emoji and stickers for an awards show in India for #JioFilmfareAwards to drive conversations around the event. Bollywood fans can also experience behind the scene moments at the Awards through Periscope 360.

Starting today until 13 February 2017, millions of avid Bollywood fans in India and across the globe can engage, interact and join the conversation around the Jio Filmfare Awards with the custom emoji. Viewers can simply Tweet using #JioFilmfareAwards or #JioFilmfareAwards2017 or #Filmfare or #FilmfareAwards to use the emoji and the special Filmfare emoji will appear next to the hashtag in the Tweet. The emoji will represent the iconic black lady statuette.

 As a tribute to Bollywood, there are also four #Stickers that will launch in the Filmfare Awards Week, allowing users to add a bit of fun customization to their conversations about the Awards on the social media site. The special Bollywood inspired #Stickers are a fun new way for users to add a pop of creativity to their photos as they support their favourite stars in their moment of glory. The #Stickers will be available until 18 January 2017.
