Bisleri brings a refreshing twist to their association with Royal Challengers Bengaluru
The film opens like any other cricket commercial, with a full crew and Jaideep Ahlawat in the director’s chair. But instead of the usual action-packed shoot, Jaideep takes a refreshingly simple approach, asking the players to just sit back, relax and hydrate. What follows is a witty moment that reveals the ‘commercial’ was just a simple water break. With its understated humour and BTS-style realism, this digital-first campaign shifts the lens, making Bisleri and the act of hydration the true stars of the story.
Tushar Malhotra, Director of Sales & Marketing, Bisleri International, added, “We are delighted to partner with Royal Challengers Bengaluru for the third consecutive season as we continue to champion hydration and create impact. We are sure the refreshing and witty limited-edition reveal film, in collaboration with Jaideep Ahlawat and Rajat Patidar, Venkatesh Iyer, and Tim David from the Royal Challengers Bengaluru team, will be enjoyed by our consumers across the country.”
Commenting on the association, Mr. Rajesh Menon, CEO, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, said, “We’re always looking for ways to connect with our fans beyond the boundary, and this film with Bisleri does exactly that. It captures the camaraderie, the calm within the storm, and the moments that happen when the cameras are not supposed to be rolling. We’re proud to be part of this film that celebrates the game in such a refreshingly and entertaining way.”
Commenting on the association, Mr. Jaideep Ahlawat said, “It was a privilege to collaborate with Bisleri and Royal Challengers Bengaluru on this project. I love how the film transforms something as basic as a water break into a compelling story. Its simplicity, combined with a natural flow of humour, is what really drew me to the campaign.”
Through a mix of on-ground visibility, digital storytelling, and franchise-led content, Bisleri continues to redefine how brands engage with sporting moments shifting from traditional associations to storytelling that is subtle, immersive, and culturally resonant.
