‘Asli Swad Zindagi Ka’ Cadbury Releases Its Iconic Ad With New Twist
What is the twist? What is Shankar Mahadevan's connection with the ad first released in 1994?
New Delhi: Cadbury Dairy Milk has recreated its iconic cricket stadium advertisement with a wonderful new twist 27 years after it was released first. In 1994, India got a taste of Cadbury with its iconic campaign ‘Asli Swad Zindagi ka’. It featured model Shimona Rashi dancing unabashedly in a cricket stadium full of people, to celebrate the batman hitting a boundary.
It was made unforgettable by singer Shankar Mahadevan, playing in the background. It was also a critical moment for Cadbury as it was trying to reposition the brand into the market. Its purpose was to change the perception that chocolates are only for children.
Now, as a tribute to Indian women athletes, the chocolate brand has recreated its iconic advertisement. It aims to celebrate and cheer women and girls who are making spectacular success stories and emerging as powerful role models for the youth. And the singer, Shankar Mahadevan again.
Singer and music composer Shankar Mahadevan is very excited. Sharing the ad on his Instagram profile, Shankar Mahadevan wrote in his caption: “After 27 years it is back! The roles are reversed! The company has decided to retain the same song that I had recorded then in 1994.” He signed off the post with, “Nostalgiaaaa.”
The comments section of Shankar Mahadevan’s post was filled up with comments. Singer Harshdeep Kaur wrote: “Wow! Brought back all the old memories.” Filmmaker Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra commented: “My my… Wow.” Another comment from a fan read: “Best, best, best.” Another Instagram user added, “legendary.” Another comment read, “Nostalgia on another level.”
