Rahul Dravid seen shooting for the 'Indiranagar ka Gunda' advertisement (Screenshot)A newly released video shows Rahul Dravid shooting for the advertisement which showed him in the angry ‘Indiranagar ka Gunda’ avatar, which soon became a rage in cricket circles.
“VVS brings the boys,” Dravid says in one of the many snippets shown in the new video, which uses footage not used in the advertisement. Dravid is also seen hanging his head after doing things like smashing a rearview mirror.
“Don’t awaken my inner beast,” Dravid shouts in Hindi in one of the snippets.
In the advertisement for the credit card bill payment app Cred, the former India captain battled Bengaluru traffic, snarling behind the wheel, leaving people wondering: “Rahul Dravid ko gussa bhi aata hai?”

There were no star tantrums,” Ayappa KM, who directed the commercial, had earlier told The Indian Express.
“I screamed out a couple of lines to give him a basic idea. And then he got it. It’s very hard for a non-actor to explode like that,” he said.
