JioStar Celebrates Premier League Fans in India
Humara Long Distance Love focuses on a distinctive aspect of Premier League fandom in India. Unlike supporters who inherit their club allegiance through family or their hometown, many Indian fans choose a club themselves and remain committed to it across distance, time zones, victories and difficult seasons.
That devotion means staying awake for late-night kick-offs, debating matches with friends and continuing to support a club through both success and disappointment.
JioStar turns that relationship into the central theme of the campaign, comparing the commitment of an Indian Premier League supporter to maintaining a long-distance relationship.
Tiger Shroff, Riyan Parag and Sanju Samson Lead Three Campaign Films
Three separate films have been created around Tiger Shroff, Riyan Parag and Sanju Samson, with each celebrity superfan presenting his own version of a long-distance love story.
At first, their monologues appear to describe the struggles, sacrifices and emotions involved in a romantic relationship. The eventual reveal shows that the relationship they have been talking about is actually with their favourite Premier League club.
Tiger Shroff – The Workout
In ‘The Workout’, Tiger Shroff channels his frustrations through an intense workout session. The story eventually reveals his Manchester United jersey, turning what initially appears to be romantic frustration into an expression of his continued loyalty to the football club.
Tiger Shroff describes football fandom as standing with a club through every high and low rather than supporting it only when it wins. The emotional investment and loyalty of supporters form the heart of his campaign film.
Riyan Parag – The Date
Riyan Parag, another Manchester United supporter, features in ‘The Date’.
The film initially shows Riyan Parag apparently preparing his home for a date. The twist arrives when the door opens and a group of friends wearing Manchester United jerseys enters to watch the season opener with him.
For Riyan Parag, supporting Manchester United resembles a genuine long-distance relationship filled with early mornings, hope, heartbreak and the determination to keep showing up.
Sanju Samson – The Long Wait
Indian cricketer Sanju Samson represents Liverpool fandom in the third film, titled ‘The Long Wait’.
With his cricket career requiring constant travel, Sanju Samson reflects on maintaining a relationship across different places and time zones. The reveal comes when friends wearing Liverpool jerseys gather in his hotel room for kick-off.
Sanju Samson says that irrespective of where he is travelling, Liverpool matches remain non-negotiable, reflecting the commitment shared by millions of Premier League followers in India.
What is ‘Humara Long Distance Love’?
The campaign is designed around a simple idea: Indian Premier League fans may be geographically distant from their clubs, but their emotional connection remains strong.
According to JioStar, Indian supporters have organically developed these relationships with Premier League clubs. Their loyalties were not determined by birthplace or postcode; instead, supporters discovered clubs, chose them and continued following them through late nights, early mornings, memorable victories and heartbreaks.
Prashant Khanna, Head – Sports: Rights & Innovation at JioStar, described Humara Long Distance Love as a celebration of that devotion and a tribute to Indian supporters who make the Premier League part of their lives every week.
Premier League 2026/27 Season
The 2026/27 Premier League runs from 22 August 2026 to 30 May 2027, with Arsenal entering the competition as defending champions.
The new season also brings considerable changes in the dugouts. Nine clubs appointed new managers during the summer transfer window, while five managers are set to take charge of a Premier League match for the first time in their coaching careers.
Arsenal will face newly promoted Coventry City on the opening night, beginning another full season of English top-flight football.
For viewers in India, all 380 Premier League 2026/27 matches will be available live and exclusive on JioHotstar and Star Sports Network, bringing the entire season across digital streaming and television.
