    Mumbai: Macho Sporto, a premium innerwear brand from the house of JGH, has roped in Bollywood youth icon Sidharth Malhotra as its new brand ambassador for its popular advertising campaign ‘YEH TOH BADA TOING HAI’. Combining the solidity and trust of Macho with the vibrance and energy of Sporto, Macho Sporto has become a darling of the discerning mass-premium consumer, and the onboarding of Sidharth Malhotra, an actor at the top of his game, is the perfect fit.

    Keeping up with the current cricket fever in the country, the brand’s latest TVC featuring the Bollywood actor is a charming take on a woman’s gaze, continuing their efforts to legitimise the female gaze. The ad shows Sidharth Malhotra being impressed by the girl making the first move, as the iconic jingle ‘YEH TOH BADA TOING HAI’ plays in the background. Macho Sporto’s new campaign with the heartthrob Sidharth Malhotra aims to not just continue the brand communication legacy, but take it a notch higher.

    Sidharth Malhotra had this to say about being announced as brand ambassador for Macho Sporto, “I am excited to partner with Macho Sporto, a brand committed to providing comfort and style to all of their consumers for decades. Their commitment to forward-thinking and innovation along with the quality, style, and freshness they bring to the table is something I resonate with. The brand has established itself as a household name, and I look forward to this collaboration.”

    Speaking about the announcement of their new brand ambassador, Sidharth Malhotra, Navinn Seksaria, managing director of JG Hosiery, the parent company of Macho Sporto, had this to say, “The ‘Yeh Toh Bada Toing Hai’ campaign is at the forefront of a modern and trendy portrayal of our brand, Macho Sporto, and who better than a Bollywood superstar like Sidharth Malhotra, whose charisma ensures that he is the centre of attention wherever he goes, to be its new face. Sidharth’s charm and youth appeal perfectly reflect Macho Sporto’s identity and having him on board will bring a breath of fresh air to our new campaign, taking the brand a ‘Toing’ higher.”

    From its inception as a newcomer in the premium innerwear segment a decade ago, Macho Sporto has risen to become the undisputed leader in its category, thanks to its groundbreaking advertising campaigns.

    Mumbai: Amul Macho turned gender stereotypes on its head way back in 2007 when the brand launched the daring “Yeh Toh Bada Toing Hai” TVC for Amul Macho underwear by focusing on female desire. With the jingle achieving cult status, the brand is back over a decade later with the launch of Macho Sporto and a new campaign along similar lines. 

    Conceptualised by creative agency Leo Burnett and promoted by media agency Madison Media Omega, the Macho Sporto campaign films consist of three films featuring actors Rashmika Mandanna and Vicky Kaushal.

    The film portrays Mandanna playing a yoga instructor and Vicky Kaushal as one of her students, depicting different humorous scenarios during their yoga sessions. The brand attempts to playfully legitimise the female gaze.

    “Through this campaign, we wanted to address and break regressive old-fashioned gender stereotypes,” said Leo Burnett CEO and chief creative officer for South Asia Rajdeepak Das. “Typically innerwear brands portray conventional male-dominant imagery, but our films depict a role reversal where we normalise and make the woman in control. This is probably the first time where a men’s wear brand is showing a woman taking the lead.”

    “We are reviving our iconic campaign ‘Yeh Toh Bada Toing Hai’ with a modern and trendier avatar of Macho Sporto. Although we are advertising men’s underwear, the campaign is centred around a young and confident woman who is empowered enough to gaze at a man she feels attracted to,” said JG Hosiery (parent company of Macho Sporto) MD Navinn Seksaria. “Breaking patriarchal stereotypes, the campaign intends to highlight how today’s women don’t hesitate in making the first move.”
