Hollywood Star Pierce Brosnan Endorses Indian Pan Masala Brand
After promoting Reid&Taylor brand, Pierce Brosnan is back in his Bond avatar, this time, for an advertisement of an Indian pan masala brand. The first visuals of the campaign, out on Friday, have sent the virtual world in India into a tizzy, with many calling him 'Pan Singh Tumor' in humour. The Hollywood actor, best known for his stint as the legendary British spy James Bond in the popular film franchise, features in the print ad holding a box of the pan masala, Pan Bahar, with the text below reading 'Class never goes out of style." The actor's signature also found space in the ad, which is splashed across the front page of a few national dailies. The video ad features a luxury car, a few women and action, but there is a catch. Instead of guns and ammunition which he used in the Bond films, Brosnan is fighting with a box of the pan masala. Twitter users have taken a dig at the ad, as well as criticized it. Sahil Shah tweeted: "Breaking News: Pierce Brosnan is also going to endorse Thumbs Up. The tagline would be 'Aaj kuchh thoo Paani karte hai.' Breaking News: Pierce Brosnan to come in a new movie 'The Adventures of Peter Paan and Captain Thook'." Another user said, "Pierce Brosnan is Pan Singh Tumor." Comedian Sorabh Pant remarked: "Pierce Brosnan endorses Pan Bahar. Hugh Jackman. And, Micromax. This is the greatest Make in India moment." While there was one user who wondered why Brosnan agreed to endorse Pan Bahar, Piyush Pankaj posted: "Pierce Brosnan supports StandUpToCancer on global platform but in India promotes Chewing tobacco Pierce Brosnan". The actor has worked in films like in GoldenEye (1995), Tomorrow Never Dies (1997), The World Is Not Enough (1999) and Die Another Day (2002). A user shared that "Brosnan endorsing Pan Bahar. The world is coming to an end Bond." This is Brosnan's second endorsement of an Indian product. He had earlier endorsed suiting fabric Indian brand Reid&Taylor.
Heroes and masala films
Both Madhavan and Sathyaraj have, in two separate occasions, confirmed that they would continue acting in so called masala films. They have responded to the queries related to their approaches towards masala films after acting in meaningful roles. Sathyaraj in a recent press meet said: 'If you are an actor, you have to do various kinds of roles.' When a reporter drew his attention towards his earlier statement that he would not act in masala roles after enacting the life of the legendary Tamil leader 'Periyar', Sathyaraj simply said that it was an emotional statement. Madhavan, on the other hand hasn't said anything voluntarily on the subject. He addressed the issue when our (musicmazaa) representative queried him about his stand on acting in films like 'Rendu' and 'Arya' after handling powerful and meaningful roles like the one he had in 'Evano Oruvan'. 'I can do such roles only if I continue to do the so called masala roles. These kinds of films keep me alive in the memory of the people. No one can keep on doing same kind of roles', was his response. True to their words, Sathyaraj and Madhavan are now doing typical commercial films. Sathyaraj is acting in 'Thangam' while Madhavan is doing 'Yavarum Nalame'. Both roles have lot of masala in them.
Inspector Dawood Ibrahim (IDI) Teaser Review: Overloaded Masala!
The official teaser of Inspector Dawood Ibrahim aka IDI, will be officially released on YouTube by today (July 1st) evening. But, the teaser has already been released on the official site of Eros Now. The 1.05 minutes long teaser is a power packed one, with overloaded masala elements. The teaser is filled with larger-than-life fight sequences and resembles the teasers of some heavy masala Telugu films. So, we guess that IDI is a real spoof movie which takes a dig on the so-called 'mass' films of Southern industry. Otherwise, it is a purely entertainment oriented film with some exceptional action sequences. The major surprise factor of the teaser is leading lady Shivada Nair's fight sequence. The way certain characters are featured in the teaser is very similar to Lijo Pellissery's gangster spoof film Double Barrel.
