'Ab Akshay Kumar Ki Bhi Zubaan Kesari', Fans Go Berserk As He Joins SRK & Ajay For Vimal Ad
Akshay Kumar has joined Vimal Elaichi advertisement. People are trolling him for joining Bolo Zubaan Kesari universe. They have also called him a hypocrite as he had earlier said that he won't promote tobacco brands.
More than the mouth freshener, what people love is the advertisement of Vimal Elaichi and its slogan - Bolo Zubaan Kesari.
Who would have thought that it would become so popular that everyone will associate it with its tagline? The moment you hear Vimal Elaichi, Ajay Devgn and his hand gesture is what comes first to the mind.
Last year, Shah Rukh Khan was added to the advertisement of the brand, and this year seemingly Akshay Kumar has too joined the Zubaan Kesari universe.
In the new trailer that features Shah Rukh Khan and Ajay Devgn, SRK wonders 'kaun naya khiladi aaya hai'. That's when the ad shows Akshay Kumar's silhouette.

From Priyanka Chopra to Ajay Devgn, a lot of celebs have been a part of surrogate advertising, a form of advertising which indirectly promotes banned products. For the uninitiated, all kinds of advertising of tobacco products (direct and indirect) are prohibited under section 5 of the Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products Act.
Vimal Elaichi is owned by the Manikchand Group and is a leading producer of Gutkas in India.
