Mumbai: Filmmaker Karan Johar on Tuesday dropped a teaser for a new ad film, featuring MS Dhoni in a charming new avatar.
Karan took to Instagram to share a clip of Captain Cool sporting cool casuals, with a new soundtrack by Arijit Singh in the background.
“Presenting MS Dhoni — our newest lover boy! But wait, Mahi’s love for his bike isn’t new. And now, thanks to Gulf Pride & Punit’s fabulous storytelling, the world finally gets a front-row seat to this blockbuster love affair! Pure cinematic magic!” wrote Karan.
In the clip, Dhoni can be seen releasing a heart balloon, while saying, “Tum jo saath chalti ho, har safar khoobsoorat banati ho (When you walk with me, you make the journey beautiful).”
Fans were quick to shower love on Dhoni.
One user wrote “Aaaye haaaaye …. Cutie pie,” another commented, “Kuch Kuch Thala hai”.
One comment read, “Very excited and most can’t wait.”
“Goluuu (red heart emojis) yaar already it’s hard to get over your after seeing this (read heart emojis). I am falling for you a little bit more,” said one person.
Praising Dhoni’s new avatar, another wrote, “Msd in new avtar (red heart emojis). One user got reminded of Sushant Singh Rajput and said, “Sushant singh rajput wala touch aa gaya.”
However, a section of users criticised the new ad.
One user said sarcastically,” Ye kis line mei aagye aap Maahi sir.”
The new ad film has been directed by Punit Malhotra.
Reacting to the post, he wrote, “It was Mahi’s magic that made it truly cinematic!”
Karan is currently gearing up for the release of ‘Kesari: Chapter 2’, which is based on the Jallianwala Bagh massacre.
Directed by Karan Singh Tyagi and produced by Dharma Productions, Leo Media Collective, and Cape of Good Films, the film stars Akshay Kumar, R Madhavan and Ananya Panday in key roles.
The film is slated to be released in theatres on April 18.
