Mumbai: Relaxo, the brand synonymous with rubber slippers and versatile footwear for all segments of society has launched a new ad, #MazbootiBemisaal with Bollywood actor Salman Khan.

The creative leverages the star’s mass appeal that cuts across all demographics by showcasing Salman Khan in his ‘bhai’ avatar with his trademark swag. The commercial marks Relaxo's return to television advertising after eight years and aims to position the brand as a rough ‘n’ tough slipper with superior performance.
