Frooti: Sheer Drool Power

Frooti's new film featuring Shah Rukh Khan is already a hit on Twitter. The film will be released on TV on Monday.

A bunch of kids ogling a sweaty Shah Rukh Khan as he downs a bottle of Frooti in one long swig, a light Mediterranean soundtrack in the background and a twist at the end: these are the active ingredients in Frooti's brand new film.
The ad is based on the insight that adults sometimes get so carried away by their craving for something that they end up behaving like children. This is exactly what the twist is all about: the 'kids' in the film are actually adults who, spellbound by their desire to drink Frooti, stare at Khan as a group of enthralled children would. And sure enough, the super on the screen towards the end reads: 'Magic of fresh 'n' juicy mangoes'.
After a day-long teaser campaign on Twitter (#SRKlovesFrooti), the film went viral yesterday morning and is slated to be released on TV on Monday.
Speaking about the film, Nadia Chauhan, managing director and chief marketing officer, Parle Agro, tells afaqs! that "clear action" on the part of consumers is the objective of this film. "We want to drive home the fact that when you see someone drinking Frooti, you feel like grabbing one for yourself. We've never focused on showing that in our ads so far," she explains.
Sajan Raj Kurup, founder and creative chairman, Creativeland Asia, says that the goal this time was to generate 'appetite appeal' for Frooti while retaining the brand's quirkiness. As for the insight, Kurup reveals that the idea for this campaign came from his personal experience: he was once staring atsomeone eating kebabs at a restaurant while waiting for his own meal to arrive. It was not until the man stared back uncomfortably that Kurup became aware of what he had been doing.
"To stare obliviously at something we crave for is an involuntary action. As kids, we have all done it but the embarrassment of doing it as grown-ups is inexplicable," he elaborates.
Magic behind the scenes
The film has been directed by Prakash Varma of Nirvana Films. Interestingly, the shots of the children staring were taken while they watched a magic show, an illusion-act, popcorn/candy floss being prepared and a child being fed ice-cream and jelly. The cameras, safely hidden behind black tents, were rolling as they were entertained. Thus, all the reactions in the film are genuine, including the shot of the child drooling. It was particularly challenging for the production team to find kids and adults with similar facial structures. They were, of course, identically hair-styled to leave efficient 'clues' for the viewers.
The soundtrack is a soothing mix of Mediterranean languages. The lyrics were deliberately made to sound like repetitive gibberish so that viewer attention stays put on the visuals. The words 'pelaypelaa' -- Hindi for 'drink' -- appear often.
The marketing mix includes social media, outdoor, below the line efforts (mall activations), and POP (point of purchase visibility at retail outlets).
Mesmerised?
Most brand experts see the subtle, celebrity 'under-use' as a clever move. Suman Srivastava, founder and innovation artist, Marketing Unplugged, exclaims good-naturedly, "Shah Rukh Khan? Was that him in the film?"
He feels the film is a response to the Slice Aam-sutra film featuring Katrina Kaif. "Maybe that was the client brief - 'Too many people are lusting after Slice; make them lust for Frooti.' The film delivers on that brief. After you see 90 seconds of a man drinking the entire bottle in one gulp, while kids are drooling over it, you are bound to want to drink Frooti yourself."
Kurup, without naming any competing brands, tells afaqs!, "Mango is about mischief; not about being sexy or sultry. You eat it messily, with abandon."
Srivastava adds, "The film works as a great way to make love to the product. I think too many commercials on air tell a nice story and then just bung in a product shot almost as an apology. I think this film would stand out because of its treatment of the product."
Swati Bhattacharya, national creative director, JWT India, is "utterly charmed". She says, "It has been executed very naturally; the after taste is sweet. I have seen many brands that promise to unleash the child in you; yet this looks fresh."
Brands typically struggle to lengthen the product shot window at the end of their films. Here, the product is present all through. Does it come across as shameless plugging of the product? "I don't think so. It's an integral part of the script. It fits in naturally," responds Bhattacharya.
According to Kiran Khalap, co-founder, Chlorophyll, this film stays within the 'Frooti personality', namely, 'the 'boy next door' image, quite unlike Thums Up's 'hero' archetype or Sprite's 'outlaw' archetype. "In fact," he explains, "the most unforgettable TVCs for Frooti were the Digen Verma films and even they stayed within the 'Frooti box'."
The formula this time, he says, appears to be 'demo the product and own the category'. Giving full credit for the way the insight is at the centre of this script, Khalap nevertheless critiques, "If Shah Rukh was a foregone conclusion, I would've twisted this a bit more and made him a hockey coach -- another layer from Chak De India. I don't know how the football connection strengthens the storyline."
While he thinks the film is well-directed, the bit towards the end where the children laugh at the grown-ups strikes a wrong note for Khalap who found that it stopped his smile mid-spread.

Saif Ali Khan is in no hurry to have kids

Ever since actor Saif Ali Khan tied the knot with actor Kareena Kapoor, 32, last year, he has been volleyed with questions about plans to expand his family with her. But the 42-year-old says that Bebo and he are not planning kids yet.

“Starting a family? No, I feel no pressure at all. I’m very relaxed and happy. Nothing should be done under pressure, ever,” says Saif, wise-cracking, “There is no deadline to this you see. I’m not in the newspaper business.” 

Already father to Sara, 18, and Ibrahim, 11, from his ex-wife, actor Amrita Singh, the actor-producer also likes to keep talk about his kids under wraps. “Sara and Ibrahim are fine. They are into academics right now, which is much more important. You know, I don’t really want to publicise my children,” says the protective daddy.

Producers in Bollywood, on the other hand, have wanted to cast Sara in films since she was 16. Asked if she will follow her family’s acting legacy, Saif says, “I don’t know. It’s a wonderful profession. I feel that my role as a parent is to only guide my children and not really tell them what to do. But I feel she should finish her education first.”

Deepika Padukone upset with Shahrukh Khan

The dusky beauty Deepika Padukone is upset with her first co-star Shahrukh Khan. When so much is said and written about Deepika Padukone and her ‘Ram Leela’ co-star Ranveer Singh, Shahrukh Khan who is prank star got a bright chance to make fun of Deepika on the set of Rohit Shetty’s ‘Chennai Express’.
The ‘Om Shanti Om’ actress first took his comments lightly but when he continued to enquire about her rumored beau, she got upset and took SRK’s comment to her heart. Deepika is upset that Shahrukh has made fun of her private life.
After the much publicized break-up with Ranbir Kapoor, Dippy now wants to keep her personal life to her and does not want to make it public. Though much has been written about her relationship with Ranveer, she preferred to keep mum on the issue.
She did not expect her most favorite co-star and best friend Shahrukh to make fun of her. She took his comment to her heart. Her expression on the set clearly threw the signal that she is really upset.
However, Shahrukh finally apologizes to Deepika for hurting her sentiments. He clarified his stand on the matter and broke the ice between them.

Kathak is dying in UP: Birju Maharaj

Kathak exponent PanditBirjuMaharaj feels the classical dance is dying in Uttar Pradesh. "In UP, majority of the youngsters are not interested in kathak dance but it is immensely popular in metro cities and western countries. My disciples are from India as well as abroad," said Maharaj who performed at the convocation of Bhatkhande Music University on Wednesday.

Relating the classical dance with spiritualism, Pandit Birju Maharaj said, "Parents should expose their children to classical dance from a young age. There are many families who do not allow their daughters to learn kathak because they believe it is wrong to make a career in dance. However, learning classical dance opens door for many career options. Apart from performing dance, a person can become a lecturer or write a book on it."

Pandit Birju Maharaj's wish which has remained unfulfilled is to open a dance school in the city. "As I belong to Lucknow, I have immense pain that I am unable to do anything for the city. Several years back the government had promised to give me land for academy but I am still waiting for it," said Maharaj who owns a dance school, Kalashram, in Delhi.

Meanwhile, Birju Maharaj confirmed that he would be choreographing actror Madhuri Dixit in the upcoming movie Dedh Ishqiya. Currently, the film is being shot at Sitapur. "Madhuri's expression and style of dancing reminds me of late actress Meena Kumari," he said.

Jolly LLB a laugh riot? Meerut lawyers don't think so, move HC

From its trailer, Jolly LLB sounds like a laugh riot — the judge (Saurabh Shukla) pulls up a struggling lawyer from Meerut (Arshad Warsi) for spelling prosecution as prostitution and appeal as apple in a PIL. But not everyone's amused.
A group of lawyers from Meerut Wednesday moved the Delhi High Court against the release of Jolly LLB which is due to hit the screens next week. Claiming that the movie trailer, currently on air, is "defamatory to lawyers" and amounts to "contempt of court", the lawyers asked the court to order a stay on the release of the film.
But the bench of Chief Justice D Murugesan and Justice V K Jain declined to stay the release of the film simply on the basis of the trailer.
"It is only a trailer and at this stage it is difficult for us to find out in what context it was said," the bench said. The court, however, reserved its final order on the plea.
The petition, filed by lawyers claiming to be graduates of Meerut law college, Chaudhary Charan Singh University, states "it has been shown in the film that lawyers use abusive language in court proceedings, thereby putting the dignity of the court in low esteem of society".
According to the petitioners, the movie defames all lawyers who are graduates of the university.
The comedy, which also has Boman Irani playing the role of a highly successful lawyer, is scheduled for release on March 15.
The petitioners have sought cancellation of the certification granted for the release of the film, alleging that it violates "guidelines issued by Information and Broadcasting Ministry under Section 5B of the Cinematograph Act."
"The guidelines bar visuals or words involving defamation of an individual or a body of individuals or contempt of court," states the petition.
Appearing for production house Fox Star Studio India Pvt Ltd, which has produced the film, senior advocate Neeraj Kishan Kaul argued that the scenes in the movie are the creative expression of the filmmaker.
Kaul said the trailer of the movie has been on air since January but the petitioners have approached the court just a few days before the release of the film "which is a blackmailing tactic". Arguing that "this practice has to be stopped", he asked the court to reject the plea.

Salman Khan hit-and-run case: Hearing adjourned to March 8

A Mumbai Sessions court today adjourned hearing over actor Salman Khan's plea, which challenges a lower court's order of invoking the charge of culpable homicide not amounting to murder against him in the 2002 hit-and-run case.

The sessions court deliberated whether it had the jurisdiction to examine the matter. "The matter is interlocutory in nature and therefore you should approach the Bombay High court as I don't have the jurisdiction to hear the same," the judge observed before adjourning the hearing.

The court will now decide on the matter on Friday, March 8. In his petition yesterday, the actor had said that the lower court's order was "bad in law" and "erroneous".

Salman Khan was earlier being tried for rash and negligent driving, which carries a maximum sentence of two years. However, in January the court handling his case accepted that the police has provided evidence that merits trying the actor for culpable homicide not amounting to murder.

In 2002, Salman Khan's SUV had run into a bakery in suburban Bandra, killing one and injuring four persons who were sleeping on the pavement outside.

Freida Pinto gets her man in Bollywood

Makers of freida pinto’s debut Bollywood film sign Rajkumar Yadav opposite her
There is a new man in Freida Pinto’s life. And no, we are not talking about her romantic dalliances. Buzz is that the makers of Freida’s first-ever Bollywood film have roped in Rajkumar Yadav to star opposite her.
A source says, `Now all eyes are on Freida as this film with Navdeep Singh and Vikramaditya Motwane will be her first Hindi project. Rajkumar has made a mark for himself with Kai Po Che. In fact, the makers were waiting for its release before they could announce theirs.`
An insider also states that Freida has asked Vikram to be present on the sets throughout the shooting process. `Since Navdeep wasn’t able to complete his last film with Abhay Deol and Genelia D’souza,
Freida wanted a clause in the contract. If anything goes haywire, then Vikram will have to come on board as the director and complete the film.`
Both Rajkumar and Navdeep remained unavailable for comment.

Kate Upton’s Lookalike, Ania, is a Total Doppelganger

Kate Upton’s buxom blonde look is so recognizable and so distinct that it was only a matter of time before the imitators came along.
Meet Ania, Kate Upton’s Russian twin. She doesn’t appear to be related to the Sports Illustrated swimsuit model or even know her; but thanks to Twitter, Ania was able to reach Kate directly with a photo of herself in a fur-trimmed parka… with nothing underneath.
As far as we know, Ania’s not a model by profession — in fact, she describes herself on her Twitter as a “Mail order bride in training.” But damn that’s one good lookalike.
Kate, being Kate, retweeted the photo with the note “amazing!”
So you be the judge: If these two were both cast in a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit shoot or, uh, a Russian mail-order bride catalog, would you be able to tell them apart?

Shah Rukh Khan is the new brand ambassador of Frooti

Talking about the brand, King Khan said, “It’s an absolute honour to be associated with an Indian company of the stature of Parle Agro. And I’m delighted to be the face of Frooti, the mango drink that the entire nation has always been fond of. There’s hardly any brand that conjures up so much joy, so much desire and so much magic around it like Frooti does. I feel really good about this association and I hope you enjoy watching the ad as much as I enjoyed being a part of it.”
Speaking exclusively to Bollywood Hungama, Dabboo said that, “The shoot was lot of fun. The whole mood was very upbeat and refreshing. The treatment of the shoot given was extremely happy and bright. And needless to say, when you have SRK in a shoot, he will take it to a different level altogether. In terms of this shoot, let me tell you that, if you give SRK a mango seed, he will make a mango tree of it, with his energy and enthusiasm!”

Rihanna’s jeans are a confusing optical Illusion

Rihanna, Rihanna River Island Collection, Rihanna Fashion Show, Bad Celebrity Jeans, Celebrity Denim, Denim, Jeans, Rihanna Denim, Rihanna Double Denim, Rihanna For River Island, Rihanna Jeans, Rihanna Pants, Rihanna River Island Pants, Style News
We’ve seen a good amount of double denim in our day (and worn it proudly). But we’ve rarely encountered double denim in a single pair of pants.
But hey, with Rihanna, anything’s possible. Riri celebrated her big Fashion Week celebrated her Rihanna for River Island Collection at a London party on Monday, wearing pants straight from her runway show: the Dark Wash Rihanna Double Top Straight Jeans (get ‘em now for $150).
As River Island’s website describes them, “We’re seeing double with this cool take on mixing denim! With a huge spring trend ready-made, these double top jeans have an innovative spin on casual dressing.”
Seeing double is right — at first glance, we thought Rihanna’s pants were literally falling down. But a savvy optical illusion does not a fashion statement make, or something. Try as we might to love this spin on double denim, we’re nonplussed.
Take a look and tell us how we should be feeling in the comments.

Vijay’s Thalaivaa rights may go to Sun TV

Vijay’s last two films Thuppakki and Nanban had their satellite rights sold to Star Vijay but prior to that Vijay had a long standing relationship with Sun Pictures and Sun TV which owned the rights of number of his films.

Meanwhile, the production is underway in full swing, with Thalaivaa’s Bollywood connection Ragini Nandwani having swiftly completed her entire portions of the film.

Bipasha Basu: I will become Ekta Kapoor if I wear any more rings

Bipasha Basu, who has been doing one creepy movie after the other (Raaz 3, Aatmaa, Creature) reveals that in the end her mother’s word is the final when it comes to the ‘good energies’ in her life. And so, don’t be surprised if you spot this Bong babe wearing rings in one, two or even three fingers.
But Bipasha seems to have her reservations in place, as she said, “I will become Ekta Kapoor if I wear anymore rings. But if mom asks me to do something like this, I can’t say ‘no’.”
And we totally understand. That’s ‘coz the oh-so-many flings that get reported about Bips’ might have left her mom frazzled many a times.
But do you think the ‘good luck rings’ would ward the negative energies off Bipasha’s life? Tell us what you think.

T-series buys the music rights of Salman Khan’s Mental and Kick

Not just his films, but the music of Salman Khan‘s films have also been very popular with at least couple of songs of his every film topping the charts. Naturally, music companies want to outdo each other when it comes to possessing the music rights of Salman’s films.
And the latest winner of this competition is Bhushan Kumar of T-series who has succeeded in acquiring the music rights of not just one but two of Salman’s upcoming films. Apparently, the company has bought the rights of Sohail Khan’s ‘Mental’ and Sajid Khan’s ‘Kick’.
Confirming the reports, Bhushan says, “We have got the music rights of Salmanbhai’s home production ‘Mental’ and Sajid Nadiadwala’s next ‘Kick’. Right from ‘Tere Naam’, we have believed in getting all the music rights of his projects.”

“He tells me he is expecting an ‘x’ amount and then leaves it to us. I always make sure that both of us are happy with the deal. Our friendship spans many years,” asserts he.
Meanwhile, Salman has already started shooting for ‘Mental’ in Dubai. After finishing it, he will start working on ‘Kick’.

Rajkumar Yadav nude in Shahid

After the success of ‘Kai Po Che!’, actor Rajkumar Yadav has dared to try something new – going full monty for a scene in his new movie ‘Shahid’.Even though John Abraham (New York) and Neil Nitin Mukesh (Jail) had kept their vitals discreetly hidden from the camera, Rajkumar is said to have had no qualms about going completely nude as the character demanded it.
According to Daily News and Analysis, the actor said “I felt no shame. I only felt the character’s pain. I wasn’t thinking of how much of my nudity was on display. I think once I took all my clothes off I was better able to understand the humiliation of my character in police torture.”
He added, “I wanted to feel the embarrassment and mortification of being watched naked by people. It helped me to understand my character’s torture better.”Hansal Mehta, director of ‘Shahid’ had cleared the sets of all technicians – except the cameramen – while shooting the sequence.
Here’s wishing Rajkumar Yadav the very best for his “out of the box” thinking!
