Policybazaar has announced a new campaign featuring actor, filmmaker and radio personality RJ Balaji to encourage people in Tamil Nadu to view health and term insurance as essential components of financial planning rather than purchases made only after a crisis.
Designed specifically for Tamil audiences, the campaign draws on culturally relevant storytelling and RJ Balaji's relatable style to spark conversations around financial protection and responsible planning for families.
The campaign comprises separate films on health insurance and term insurance. The health insurance film is set in a hospital and highlights the financial strain that medical emergencies can place on families. It conveys that while doctors focus on helping patients recover physically, unexpected treatment expenses can significantly affect household finances if adequate health insurance is not in place.
The term insurance film centres on the importance of planning for the future of one's loved ones. It encourages earning members to think beyond their present income and ensure that their dependants remain financially secure and are able to maintain their standard of living even if the family's primary breadwinner is no longer around.
Policybazaar said the campaign also seeks to address concerns surrounding insurance claims during hospitalisation. Families are often required to manage paperwork and coordinate with insurers and hospitals at stressful times. The company stated that its claims support proposition is aimed at guiding customers through the process and providing assistance when it is needed most.
The campaign has been developed by MagicCircle and reflects Policybazaar's focus on regional communication and local-language storytelling to improve awareness and adoption of health and term insurance across Tamil Nadu and other parts of the country.
