Mumbai: Britannia Bourbon has launched its new campaign by partnering with Indian cricketers – Hardik Pandya, Shreyas Iyer, and Deepak Chahar. The new TVC, which has Bourbon at the center of all the fun, brings out the desire for the iconic chocolaty snack. The TVC, conceptualised by McCann India- South, features the trio who are known to be friends on and off the cricket field.

The ad film depicts Hardik pulling a minor heist on Shreyas and Deepak and brings out the brand's proposition of "Original Friendship". The simple yet relatable creative is one that every friends’ gang can relate to, based on the premise that Bourbon is so delicious that you wouldn’t want to share it even with your best buddies. The TVC celebrates the mischievous, unpretentious bonds between real friends and Britannia Bourbon’s role of igniting fun between such friends.

"For over 65 years, Britannia Bourbon has been enjoyed across generations in almost every Indian household. We are really excited to introduce Hardik Pandya, Shreyas Iyer and Deepak Chahar as the new gang of friends. They have brought alive the brand idea in a fun and wicked way," said Britannia Industries, VP- marketing, Vinay Subramanyam.

Speaking about the TVC, McCann Worldgroup head of creative - South, Sambit Mohanty said, “When you pull a fast one over a friend and it’s all in good fun, you know the friendship’s got to be original. Pretty much the sentiment captured in our new film for Britannia Bourbon - the original bourbon. For it depicts a friendship built on a solid foundation of wickedness, inappropriateness, and shenanigans."
