Anil Kapoor revives Mr. India for a 1987 film-themed smartphone ad.
With the comment, “The beauty of time, the thing that makes it so precious, is that it never stands still,” Anil Kapoor posted the video to his Instagram page. There are many highs and lows, appearances and disappearances in our life. Mr. India is a phenomena that transcends time; he is both the most genuine character I have ever portrayed and a ghost.
“Now, 38 years later, Mr. India is back with the Google #Pixel8!” he said. Just the tried-and-true, ageless soul of Arun Verma returning to excite and amuse you, in the flesh and unadulterated. This superhero has a reputation for vanishing at the drop of a hat, so pay close attention to this screen (wink emoji).
Arun Verma, better known as Anil’s character from Mr. India, and his tiny sidekick Jugal are shown in the latest Google Pixel commercial slipping into a scary home, where they find the smartphone. Anil then uses his voiceover to describe the features of the device.
After the commercial ends and “To be continued” appears on the screen, the tale will resume. Sridevi, Satish Kaushik, Annu Kapoor, Amrish Puri, Ahmed Khan, and Aftab Shivdasani were among the notable actors who starred in Mr. India.
