Ever since Neeraj Chopra etched his name in history for winning a gold medal in javelin at the Tokyo Olympics, the sport has garnered new fans around the country. And now, an advertisement seems to have aptly captured the current craze around Chopra and the country’s new love ‘Javelin’.
While earlier Cred surprised fans when they portrayed Rahul Dravid as ‘Indiranagar ka Gunda’, which was in complete contrast with the cricketer’s personality, now they gave the Olympic gold medalist a makeover and showcased him in various avatars of reporter, movie producer, marketing honcho among others who are currently aiming to cash in on the frenzy around Chopra.
“360 Degree Marketing!” wrote Chopra while sharing the 40-second clip by the company. The advertisement also takes a subtle dig at the nationwide frenzy that surrounded Chopra post his return from Tokyo after winning the gold medal.
