Asian Paints launches campaign to promote new offering
Mumbai: Asian Paints has come up with a fresh campaign to promote its latest luxury offering, Royale Glitz. Conceptualized by Contract, the quirky ad-film features brand ambassador Deepika Padukone.
With a modern rendition of the classic song ‘Baar Baar Dekho’ playing in the background and tongue-in-cheek humour, the TVC shows how the new paint steals the spotlight from Padukone during a photo-shoot, leaving her visibly bemused. The 50-second #StealYourSpotlight campaign also highlights the stain-resistant feature of Royale Glitz.
Commenting on the launch of the new product and the campaign, Asian Paints – MD & CEO, Amit Syngle, said, “Consumers today are looking for that ‘X factor’ in their home interiors; something that will create a memorable and definitive impact while enhancing the beauty and glamour quotient of their home. This is what we bring to our customers with the new Asian Paints Royale Glitz interior luxury paint. The campaign conveys the same thought through our quirky and stylish TVC. We are happy to be working with Deepika once again on this ad, the concept and treatment of which is quite different from the ones she has done previously with the brand.”
Royale Glitz comes in a range of designer shades under the exclusively curated ‘Royale Designer Palette’. Inspired by the heartland story of India, these shades carry names such as Chutney green, Calcutta rains, and Coromandel Indigo which reflect Indian culture.

Navi releases new ‘Hurrypur’ film focused on speed and simplicity
Auto breakdown turns F1-style pit stop in campaign film set to Baalti’s track
MUMBAI: When life’s in the fast lane, Navi wants even your breakdowns to be over in a blink. Navi has rolled out a new film under its ongoing ‘Hurrypur’ campaign, doubling down on its core pitch speed and simplicity in everyday transactions.
The film opens on a familiar hiccup, an autorickshaw breaking down mid-ride. But what follows is anything but ordinary. The repair unfolds like a Formula 1 pit stop swift, precise, almost cinematic. Within seconds, the tyre is replaced, the vehicle is back on the road, and even the fare negotiation wraps up in record time.
Set to US-based musical act Baalti’s track “123”, the film uses rhythm and pacing to mirror its central idea, in a world that moves fast, everything around it must keep up.
The narrative builds on Hurrypur, a fictional world where time is treated as currency and delay is almost obsolete. Through exaggerated yet relatable scenarios, the campaign reflects a broader behavioural shift consumers increasingly expect instant responses, whether from people, platforms or payments.
Navi Limited MD and CEO Rajiv Naresh said the Hurrypur universe is designed to highlight the company’s focus on delivering seamless, time-efficient experiences. Meanwhile, creative agency Sideways and director Ayappa KM leaned into humour and visual energy to push the story beyond a typical product-led narrative.
Instead of listing features, the campaign sticks to storytelling turning a routine inconvenience into a high-speed spectacle.
Because in Navi’s world, even a pit stop refuses to slow things down.
