In what could easily be one of the grandest advertising projects in India, filmmaker Atlee, known for his blockbuster hits like Jawan and Theri, has directed a Rs. 150 crores commercial for Ching’s Desi Chinese. The mega ad film stars Ranveer Singh, Sreeleela, and Bobby Deol in leading roles bringing together an electrifying mix of Bollywood’s most dynamic stars under Atlee’s high-octane direction. The upcoming campaign is said to be mounted on a cinematic scale rarely seen in the advertising space, complete with elaborate sets, extensive VFX, and a multi-location shoot schedule. The production reportedly aims to blend Atlee’s signature massy storytelling with the quirky, high-energy brand persona that Ching’s Desi Chinese is known for. According to an independent industry source, “The ad campaign for Ching’s Desi Chinese, featuring Ranveer Singh, Bobby Deol and Sreeleela directed by Atlee, is being made on a massive budget of around Rs. 150 crores. This alone makes it one of the biggest ad campaigns ever executed, featuring celebrated stars and a huge budget.”This marks Atlee’s first commercial project after the massive success of Jawan, which starred Shah Rukh Khan and became one of India’s highest-grossing films. His collaboration with Chings and Ranveer Singh who previously fronted the brand in a series of humorous and action-packed ads signals a fresh and ambitious phase for the food brand’s marketing. With the addition of Bobby Deol, currently riding high after his web show The Ba***ds of Bollywood, and Sreeleela, one of South cinema’s fastest-rising stars, the project has already generated massive curiosity. The extravagant campaign is expected to redefine how Indian brands approach advertising with cinema-scale storytelling meeting brand creativity. Also Read: CONFIRMED!

Filmmaker Sanjay Gupta has shared his thoughts on the evolving landscape of film promotion, stating that promotional music videos are now largely outdated. The director, who was one of the pioneers of special music videos to market his films, expressed his views in a two-part tweet on September 20, 2025. In his first tweet, Gupta wrote, “I was probably the first Producer/Director to shoot special music videos to promote my films. But those were different times. We only had film and music channels to promote. Today, I feel that’s a thing of the past. The audience wont get impressed with a flashy video.”He followed up with a second tweet, reinforcing his stance: “We need to accept that just the way visits to malls make no difference to a film’s opening, music videoshowever sexy and appealingwill not compel the audience to go to the theatre. The only draw is the uniqueness of your trailer and its connect. RIP promotional video.”Gupta has often been vocal about film promotions, emphasising that a movies core elementsits trailer, story, and overall appealare what truly attract audiences, rather than extravagant marketing gimmicks. Reflecting on his earlier comments after the release of Saiyaara, Gupta praised the decision to limit the lead actors appearances in pre-release interviews, podcasts, and promotions. On his X account, he wrote: “So whoever decided at YRF to keep the lead pair of Saiyaara away from all pre-release interviews, appearances, and podcasts is a genius. They preserved the freshness exclusively for the big screen. And look at how its worked.”He criticised what he described as the corporatisation of film marketing, adding: “Film business was running smoothly. Then corporates came and tried to rewrite the rules of the game. They screwed up. Big time!!! One of their biggest screw-ups was P&A (Print & Advertising). It was purely to loot producers. Corporates left, and producers continue the stupid trend of promotions.”Gupta also pointed to the South Indian film industry as a model: “The South never followed the dumb P&A practice. They did just fine. More than fine. And then come films like 12th Fail and Saiyaara, straight to theatressmash hits with no PR nonsense. Can we please learn our lesson?”Also Read: 20 Years of Musafir EXCLUSIVE: Sanjay Gupta reveals Sanjay Dutt had hearty laugh when Oliver Stone praised his role of Billa and left Anil Kapoor stunned; opens up on light-hearted dig at Sholay: I didnt mean any disrespect.
