After Shah Rukh Khan’s ROCKING Thums Up ad, now get ready for Pepsi’s GRAND summer campaign, featuring Salman Khan

On Tuesday evening, fans of Shah Rukh Khan and moviegoers, in general, got a pleasant surprise as the superstar tweeted the video of his advertisement for the soft drink brand Thums Up. The TVC features Shah Rukh in an action avatar and his long-hair look and action feel are supposedly themed around his much-awaited film, Pathan. The ad got a unanimous response from all quarters and in short, the campaign has emerged as a hit.

After Shah Rukh Khan’s ROCKING Thums Up ad, now get ready for Pepsi’s GRAND summer campaign, featuring Salman Khan

Interestingly, Shah Rukh Khan at one point was a brand ambassador of Thums Up’s rival, Pepsi. Several ads of SRK endorsing Pepsi were released when the actor was associated with the beverage for more than a decade, from the late 1990s till 2011. Interestingly, superstar Salman Khan was similarly synonymous with Thums Up at that point. He endorsed Thums Up in the early 2000s and endorsed it again from 2012 to 2016.

Coincidentally, Salman Khan currently endorses Pepsi. In other words, the soft drink makers have switched their staunch brand ambassadors. And as per a report in a financial daily, after SRK’s Thums Up ad, now Pepsi is also gearing up for a similar grand campaign, featuring Salman. Reportedly, the campaign would be released by mid-March, which would be an apt time as summers would have kicked in and this is when the soft drink sales are the highest.

Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan continues to be one of the biggest celebrities in the advertising space. This is despite him getting embroiled in a legal controversy in October 2021 after his son Aryan was arrested in a drugs case. Just after his son was nabbed, Byju’s ads featuring SRK were halted temporarily. However, the TVC soon resumed as public support was largely with him. Chocolate giant Mondelez, in fact, released a new ad just a few weeks later after this row, in Diwali 2021, that starred Shah Rukh. He also endorses LG, Hyundai, Reliance Jio, Dubai Tourism, Vimal Pan Masala etc. and all of them have retained him happily despite the controversy. Interestingly, his deal with Thums Up was his first big endorsement deal after the Aryan Khan case, as per the financial daily report.

As per recent reports, Shah Rukh Khan has resumed the shoot of Atlee’s film in Mumbai. He is also going to begin Rajkumar Hirani’s next in April 2022, reportedly. Bollywood Hungama recently broke the news that the superstar would be heading to Spain to shoot some exciting portions of Pathan, along with Deepika Padukone and John Abraham.

Saqib Saleem, who is giving finishing touches to his performance in what is undoubtedly 2020's most anticipated film - '83,  is absolutely excited to play Mohinder Amarnath in the upcoming Ranveer Singh starrer. But the reason is not just limited to him being part of this iconic project but for what it means to him personally. Talking about wanting to be a cricketer growing up, Saqib says, "Doing '83 was almost like an act of fate. I grew up playing cricket wanting to go pro. I played State level U-19 but that was that. When I decided to become an actor, I knew that life was going to take a whole new path. When I heard about Kabir sir casting for 83, I chased him to ensure I was able to atleast audition."

Says Saqib, "Mohinder Amarnath was my father...

Nora Fatehi turns up the heat with Marjaavaan's new song Ek Toh Kum Zindagani! Nora Fatehi's sizzling dance moves in chartbusters including 'Dilbar' ( Satyameva Jayate ) and 'Saki Saki' ( Batla House ) among others has made her a household name in a short span of time. The gorgeous actress, who wants to create a niche for herself as a talented actress, has been focusing more on performance-oriented roles, like last seen in Batla House starring John Abraham. Interestingly, one of the major reasons why Nora agreed to do the song 'Ek Toh Kum Zindagani' in Marjaavaan without charging any money is because she feels obliged to filmmaker Nikkhil Advani and producer Bhushan Kumar who offered her the song 'Dilbar' in Satyameva Jayate, considered to be a turning point in her career. Nora has always been grateful and humbled by the opportunity Nikkhil Advani and Bhushan Kumar have given her with both 'Dilbar' and 'Saki Saki' and s...
