PURAB IN A BRAND NEW AVATAAR IN THE TVC
Known for his versatility through his work, be it TV shows, films and TV commercials, Model /VJ /Actor / Director Purab Kohli is the brand ambassador for the latest Wild Stone soap campaign. In the TV commercial directed by Bharat Sikka, Purab is portrayed as rugged, masculine, modern and seductive in a brand new avataar that fits perfectly with the Wild Stone’s brand character/personality.
The leading male grooming brand’s TVC that is already running on major TV channels shows how Purab is tricked by women into getting dirty during a football match with the kids to ultimately make him bathe with Wild Stone soap portraying its potency. In addition, the song ‘Aise Na Mujhe Tum Dekho’ played in the TVC is from Purab’s grand uncle Dev Anand’s film ‘Darling Darling’ and definitely adds to the recall of the film making the TVC memorable.
Purab expresses, “I’m glad to have worked with an esteemed brand like Wild Stone and talented director Bharat Sikka. I was surprised when they imagined me as rugged, masculine, modern and seductive. I have always tried my hand on something new and the look/character i had to portray for this particular TVC was something i have never done before. This is the first time I went shirtless for a TVC and to achieve the form one sees in the commercial I went down to basics with traditional free hand work outs and a natural diet.”
