Maaza brings together Amitabh Bachchan, Pooja Hegde to launch ‘Dildaar Bana De’ campaign
- Unveils the latest campaign celebrating the spirit of magnanimity, first in Andhra Pradesh & Telangana
- Tweet: Let’s celebrate Dildaari this season with Indian Actress Pooja Hegde as the new face of brand Maaza!
Maaza’s new ‘Dildaar Bana De’ campaign beautifully ties together the spirit of magnanimity with the king of fruits – the mango, also symbolic of prosperity & generosity. With its creative conceptualization, it intends to strike a chord with people who often go out of their way to help others with acts of magnanimity and kindness.
The brand’s objective is to continue being the country’s loved mango drink, made with delicious mangoes, sourced locally from Indian farmers. The company aims to strengthen its hyper-local approach leveraging cultural nuances in the markets of Andhra Pradesh & Telangana. Its association with Indian actress Pooja Hegde as the new face of Maaza is aligned with this vision.
Announcing the launch of the new campaign, Ajay Konale, Director Marketing, nutrition category, Coca-Cola India and Southwest Asia said, “Maaza is a heritage brand of our country - since 1976, it has been India’s most loved mango drink and a strong brand in the Company’s portfolio in India. Maaza is known for its unparalleled taste of real, authentic mangoes and is a leading brand in the Mango segment. With this new positioning, we now aim to evolve the brand’s purpose, making it synonymous with Generosity & ‘Dildaari’. We are extremely humbled to have Mr. Bachchan and Ms. Pooja Hegde onboard with us to bring alive Maaza’s new evolved philosophy.”
He further added, “Andhra Pradesh and Telangana are key markets for us in India, and thus we decided to initiate the movement of Dildaari here.”
The heartwarming TVC shows Pooja Hegde enjoying a game of cricket with the kids in her neighborhood, when she accidentally hits the ball outside the grounds, which ends up landing right inside Amitabh Bachchan’s home. Bachchan, who can be seen playing the role of a senior citizen, who is infamous for never returning any balls that fall into his house – until he relishes a bottle of Maaza, which completely changes his mind and opens up his heart. The film ends with an unexpected act of ‘Dildaari’ from Bachchan, when he showers his collection of several balls that had ever fallen into his home, over the years.
Pooja Hegde, Indian actress & star of the new Maaza campaign, said, “Becoming the face of a brand that I have enjoyed drinking since my childhood, is an opportunity I could never have passed on. This campaign is very close to my heart, as it provided me with the special opportunity to co-star with my idol and inspiration - Mr. Bachchan, and also work with one of the greatest directors in Hindi cinema Mr. Shoojit Sarkar. I hope everyone watching the campaign film is inspired to spread positivity & humanity with acts of generosity and magnanimity for those around them.”
For decades, Maaza has refreshed its consumers in mind, body, and spirit by offering the ultimate mango experience. The legacy brand has played a core role in all moments of celebration, festivities, and happiness of its consumers, across the country. This New Year, the brand is rejuvenating its purpose – to spread positivity, prosperity, and magnanimity among its consumers.
