In a delightful surprise for Bollywood enthusiasts and fans of the industry's leading actors, a new steel brand commercial featuring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Shah Rukh Khan has taken the internet by storm. Released on Ranbir Kapoor's birthday, this ad not only celebrates the actor's special day but also showcases a captivating synergy of talent and star power.
The Jawan Connection:
What makes this advertisement stand out is its clear inspiration from Shah Rukh Khan's latest action thriller blockbuster, 'Jawan.' The background score of the ad mirrors the film's theme, further heightening the excitement among fans.
The Star-Studded Ad:
In this commercial for the popular steel brand, the trio of Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Shah Rukh Khan is introduced with a track inspired by the 'Jawan' theme. The music is composed by the acclaimed Anirudh Ravichander, and the catchy lyrics are delivered by Grammy Award-nominated rapper Rajakumari.
The track begins with the lines, “RK ka hai wonder, Alia hai showstopper, Rungta Steels ka King Khan hai just like thunder.” Dressed in matching black outfits, the three stars hold the brand's steel rods and enthusiastically recite the brand's tagline in chorus.
"Picture Abhi Baki Hai":
The caption on the steel brand's official Instagram handle, "Picture abhi baki hai" (The film isn't over yet), hints at the possibility of a longer version of the ad in the works. This famous line is borrowed from Shah Rukh Khan's 2007 reincarnation saga, 'Om Shanti Om,' directed by Farah Khan, adding an intriguing twist to the ad's narrative.
Fan Reactions:
Unsurprisingly, the ad left fans of Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Shah Rukh Khan overjoyed. Social media buzzed with ecstatic reactions, with one fan exclaiming, "I AM OBSESSED, AND IT'S JUST AN AD (crying emoji)." Others chimed in with comments like "My mains (sparkle emojis)" and "DREAM CAST (surprise emoji)." It's evident that this unexpected collaboration of their favorite stars left fans thrilled.
A Rare Union:
While each of these Bollywood superstars has shared screen space with one another individually, this marks the first time they have come together for a project. Ranbir and Alia's on-screen chemistry was seen in Ayan Mukerji's hit supernatural film 'Brahmastra Part One: Shiva' last year. Alia previously starred alongside Shah Rukh in Gauri Shinde's 2016 coming-of-age film 'Dear Zindagi.' Shah Rukh Khan had a cameo appearance in Ranbir's 2016 romantic film 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil,' but they did not share a scene. Interestingly, Shah Rukh Khan also had an extended cameo in 'Brahmastra,' but he did not appear alongside Alia or Ranbir.
Upcoming Ventures:
As for their individual projects, Shah Rukh Khan is gearing up for 'Dunki,' Alia Bhatt has announced 'Jigra' as her next project, and Ranbir Kapoor is set to star in 'Animal,' the teaser of which was recently released on the occasion of his birthday.
This star-studded advertisement featuring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Shah Rukh Khan not only celebrates their talent but also serves as a testament to the immense love and admiration their fans have for these Bollywood icons. It remains to be seen if this collaboration will extend beyond an ad, but for now, fans are relishing this 'dream cast' moment.
