Run-run-Ranveer: actor shoots 4 ads in 4 days over 8 locations

This kind of boundless energy only Ranveer Singh can have. The Padmaavat antagonist reportedly packed in four brand endorsement shoots over eight days in different locations recently while taking a breather between schedules for Simmba. Alongside Akshay Kumar, Ranveer is one of the ad world’s favourite brand horses, and the actor zipped around breathlessly keeping commitments he had made to four leading consumer goods giants. Sources close to Ranveer said this hectic schedule literally had him living out of a suitcase.

He began the brand shoot-a-thon in Mumbai on July 13 and 14. Then flew back to Hyderabad, where he had just finished a month-long schedule for the Rohit Shetty-Karan Johar action thriller Simmba, to make the second ad film on July 15 and 16. This is believed to be for an automobile manufacturer. From Hyderabad, Ranveer jetted off to Malaysia for the third commercial that he did over July 17 and 18. And then capped this whistle-stop tour by going to Istanbul for a skincare ad that he is currently shooting. The actor will return to Mumbai tomorrow.

Ranveer’s mass popularity more than his talent and versatility as an actor is what is said to attract ad gurus to him. And he’s endorsed as many small products as he has done big brands. Last year, if you take a count, Ranveer did Thums up (replacing Salman Khan), Durex Jeans, Set Wet Male Grooming Products, Adidas, Carrera FW, Jack and Jones, Colgate, Nexa, Switzerland Tourism, Vivo Smart Phones, Make My Trip (with Alia Bhatt), Rupa Innerwear, Ching’s Desi Chinese, Head and Shoulders, Kellogg’s Oats, and Royal Stag. This year, nobody’s started counting. But the buzz is that Ranveer will not be working in November and December because he’s getting married (to Deepika Padukone, yes) and since the sun is shining down on him, this is the right time to make hay.
