As part of the Dil Bole I Feel UP campaign, he will travel to 11 Indian cities, from Chennai to Chandigarh, to bottle reasons that make people feel UPtimistic and positive. He will make Indians dance along and ask what makes them feel UP; and in the process spread the cheer all around.

We are confident that it will resonate well with our consumers nationwide."

Looking UPtimistic at the launch, Sharman Joshi, actor and brand ambassador, 7UP said, "I feel that UPtimism is a theme that most of us can relate to and there is no pretense about it. The 7UP philosophy reflects the mood of our country and how we always manage to stay positive.
