The Crash the Pepsi IPL fever is catching on!  The popular duo of Indian TV, Raghu and Rajiv just joined the gang of Ranbir, Virat, India’s YouTube stars and Pepsi IPL teams with their quirky ad for Crash the Pepsi IPL.  The twins, known for their powering personality are seen in a completely different “What the stress yaar?” avatar in the ad film.  While this film, directed by Bollywood Director, E Niwas will not be an official entry for Crash the Pepsi IPL, the duo is urging consumers to vote and make their favourite ad win. With just one day to go, finalists are now gunning for the coveted title – The Viewer’s Choice Pepsi TVC.

The showcase ad film leverages the strengths of Pepsi as an iconic youth brand and the quirky creative takes a cheeky dig at the duo’s own distinctive positioning among the Indian youth. Link to ad film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxXHyMIsvE&feature=youtu.be.
