Mumbai — In a delightful surprise for fans, Bollywood cousins Bobby Deol and Abhay Deol have shared the screen for the very first time in a new, highly-viral advertisement that hilariously mocks the absurdity of modern advertising, complete with animated chickens and a cheeky nod to their elder brother, Sunny Deol.
The advertisement, for the credit payment app CRED, dropped over the weekend and instantly became a sensation for its offbeat humor and the rare collaboration between the two Deol actors.
Animated Chaos and a ‘Bhaiya’ SOS
The commercial features Bobby and Abhay in a bizarre, low-budget setup, awkwardly promoting the app. The scene quickly devolves into animated chaos when the two are suddenly transformed into stacks of gold coins, a visual effect that is deliberately over-the-top.
As the baffled Deols try to process the inexplicable turn of events, a member of the production crew proudly declares that the entire sequence was achieved using “AI.”
Clearly unimpressed and struggling to comprehend the script, Bobby looks at Abhay and asks in disbelief, “Kisko phone laga raha hai?” (Who are you calling?).
Abhay, with a trademark deadpan expression, delivers the punchline: “Bhaiya.” (Big brother).
The implication is clear: only Sunny Deol, the family’s iconic action hero, possesses the necessary gravitas—or, perhaps, the legendary “dhai kilo ka haath” (2.5-kilogram hand)—to deal with such existential advertising nonsense.
Fans Demand a Sequel with Sunny
Bobby Deol shared the clip on his social media with the caption, “Bade bhaiyya Indiranagar pahunch gaye hain @cred_club,” a reference to the brand’s previous viral campaigns. Sunny Deol responded to the post with a string of red heart emojis, showing he was clearly in on the joke.
The ad has been widely praised on social media, with many fans celebrating the Deol cousins’ long-awaited on-screen pairing and their surprising comedic timing. Comments poured in, with many users demanding a sequel that actually features Sunny Deol’s famous on-screen fury to “avenge” the absurd creative direction.
This first-ever collaboration between the Deol cousins is a major talking point, proving that the Deol family’s star power extends beyond the big screen and into the world of viral marketing.
