MUMBAI: JSW MG and Cheil X are back with a laughter-fuelled second phase of their ‘EV sahi hai’ campaign, this time plugging into the star power of Varun Sharma and Pulkit Samrat of Fukrey fame.
Shot against the scenic backdrops of Dehradun and Rishikesh, the new films tackle two of India’s biggest EV myths: the lack of charging stations and dreaded range anxiety, all with the duo’s signature banter and tongue-in-cheek charm.
The first film plays out like a cheeky guessing game about India’s quirky town names, cleverly tying them back to the country’s 29,000 plus charging stations. The message? No matter how offbeat the location, you’re never too far from a plug point.
The second film flips the focus to road trips, with Pulkit confidently cruising in his EV while Varun plays the sceptic, questioning whether it can survive the long haul to Goa. By the end, humour disarms doubt, leaving viewers with one simple conclusion: EV Sahi Hai.
“Humour is at the heart of this phase, because what better way to bust myths than with a laugh?” said JSW MG Motor India, head of marketing, Udit Malhotra adding that celebrity voices would help the campaign reach “people from all walks of life.”
Cheil X, national creative director, Amit Nandwani called it a conscious attempt to move beyond “just presenting facts” and instead “debunk myths in a fun and engaging manner”.
Meanwhile, Cheil X Delhi, vice president and head of operations, Kanika, said the duo’s infectious energy makes them the “perfect pair to keep the message light yet impactful.”
