OLX Autos collaborates with Rohit Shetty to launch its fourth ad film under ‘Shetty Ke Car-Naame’ campaign
Mumbai: India’s pre-owned automobile segment OLX Autos, along with Bollywood director Rohit Shetty and actor Sharman Joshi have released their fourth ad film titled ‘Normal Car’ under the ‘Shetty ke Car-Naame’ campaign. This film would be the final leg in their campaign.
The campaign, conceptualised by Lowe Lintas Delhi, once again resonates and showcases OLX Autos’ commitment to offering the ‘Best-Price’ for any every-day car.
The campaign is a humorous take on the common tropes found across Rohit Shetty’s movies, where cars are often shown performing a wide array of stunts and often forming the centrepiece of the movies – while delivering upon the value proposition of OLX Autos, offering the ‘Best-Price’ for pre-owned cars and conveys the delightful experience consumers can expect when selling their cars to OLX Autos.
The fourth film in this series titled – ‘Normal Car’ is a sudden twist in the tale, wherein Sharman Joshi leaves the audience in splits – trying to figure out what’s special with Rohit Shetty’s stunt-car this time around. Rohit Shetty, then makes fun about the fact – his films also include every-day cars – with no special qualities. Not surprisingly, Sharman Joshi, who portrays the role of an OLX Autos employee, delights Rohit Shetty by offering the best price for even the every-day car.
From selling Rohit’s first ‘Flying Car’ to ‘Exploding Cars’ to ‘Revolving Cars’, the campaign ends with Rohit Shetty getting the best price even for the ‘Every-day Car’.
With a low per capita car ownership rate in India, pre-owned cars outpace new cars in terms of cars sold and are often the first set of wheels for many consumers. The supply for pre-owned cars stems from existing car owners. However, given the largely fragmented nature of the pre-owned car market consumers often face difficulties in realising the right price while selling their cars. The campaign seeks to highlight key offerings by OLX Autos, which aims at removing this information and access asymmetry with transparent evaluation processes such as no hidden charges, free inspection, seamless RC transfer and more.

Jubilant FoodWorks faces Rs 47.5 crore GST demand, plans appeal
Tax authorities flag alleged misclassification of restaurant services
MUMBAI: Jubilant FoodWorks Limited has landed in a tax tussle after receiving a GST demand of Rs 47.5 crore from the office of the additional commissioner of CGST and central excise in Thane, Maharashtra.
The order, issued under the provisions of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017, relates to an alleged incorrect classification of certain services under the category of restaurant services. According to the tax authorities, this classification resulted in a short payment of goods and services tax for the period between the financial years 2019-20 and 2021-22.
The demand includes Rs 47.5 crore in GST along with an equal amount as penalty, in addition to applicable interest. The order was received by the company on March 13, 2026.
In a regulatory filing to the BSE Limited and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited, the company said it disagrees with the order and believes its arguments were not adequately considered.
The company is preparing to challenge the decision and plans to file an appeal. It added that once the redressal process is complete, the demand is likely to be dropped.
Despite the sizeable figure attached to the notice, the company said it does not expect any material impact on its financials, operations or other activities.
The disclosure was signed by Suman Hegde, EVP and chief financial officer, who confirmed that the company received the order at 19:06 IST on March 13 and has already initiated steps to contest it.
The development places the quick service restaurant major in the middle of a tax debate that could hinge on how certain restaurant-linked services are classified under GST rules. For now, the company appears ready to take the matter from the tax office to the appeals desk.
