The makers are planning a slew of exciting events and contests to take place as Q and Nikon’s fantasy thriller ‘Ludo’ gets ready to hit the floors this April.
The director duo of Q and Nikon is starting off with a Rock Band competition to search and identify a kickass Bangla Rock Band that will get a chance to feature in the film. The competition will be held online where the top bands with the highest viewership on YouTube and (likes on) Facebook will be auditioned for the finals.
The finalists of the competition will get a chance to audition with Q, Nikon and the film’s music director Neel, who are looking for a band which makes its own kind of music with strong team chemistry and fantastic screen and stage presence. The winning bands will be the one that creates music that fits in with Q and Nikon’s brand of cinema and give the judges a performance they cannot forget. The details of the competition are available on the official website: http://www.ludomovie.com
