The exhilarating chapter features cricket icons-Ravindra Jadeja, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and the dynamic captain Rohit Sharma in a film that is centred around –‘making India believe in Team India’. The heart of the campaign lies within its unique storytelling, brought to life by none other than The King of Bollywood, Shahrukh Khan as the ‘Voice of Belief.’

The narrative delves into the current emotions of Indian cricket fans –the passionate heart that fervently believes ‘India Will Win!’ with the mind that contemplates- ‘Will India Win?’ This tussle of emotions is brilliantly encapsulated in Thums Up’s iconic Split Can, visually portraying the dynamic interplay.

We will do this through tech led, real time responses from expert panels and credible influencers that encourage everyone to keep rooting for our team.”

Sukesh Nayak, Chief Creative Officer, Ogilvy India, says, "The adversary isn't always external; at times, it's our own doubt, becoming our greatest adversary. To overcome this, we must summon our inner beliefs. This World Cup, Thums Up gets SRK voicing and symbolizing the inner conflict on 'Will India win this World Cup.?’

As the ICC World Cup inches closer, Thums Up's commitment to celebrating players resilience and creating unforgettable moments for fans remains steadfast, setting the stage for a truly Toofani World Cup.”
