KFC delivers epicness with Mrunal Thakur and Danish Sait in new ad
KFC has launched a new campaign for its
super saver offer
featuring
Mrunal Thakur
and
Danish Sait
.
The campaign film sees Thakur, Sait—and well everyone, losing it over the epic for 299 offers. The film kicks off with Thakur at a KFC counter, screaming with joy as the server reveals the jaw-dropping nine for 299 offer. Only for her to dramatically faint from the sheer epicness of it.
Enter Sait, channeling the ever-iconic Ramamurthy, trying to steady her – before spiraling himself when he hears the offer. Cue a chain reaction of chaos: multiple Danishs on a virtual call. A Gen Z squad. A pair of friends enjoying their crispy chicken. Everyone chanting '9 for 299!' on loop.
And outside the restaurant? Paparazzi scrambling for a glimpse of Thakur– only to be cheekily told 'Sorry, can't stay!'. Why? Because the epic deal is dine-in exclusive.
Aparna Bhawal, chief marketing officer,
KFC India
and partner countries said, 'With
Epic Savers
, we're bringing unbeatable value to the table – nine pieces of KFC's signature, finger lickin' good chicken at just INR 299.'
Mayuresh Dubhashi, chief creative officer, FCB Neo said, 'With this latest KFC campaign, we wanted to turn up the flavor — not just in our food, but in the fun. By bringing together unexpected celebrity moments and a jingle that refuses to leave your head, we've created a light-hearted, slightly unbelievable world that keeps our value proposition front and center. In a competitive QSR space, where value matters, it is key to make the offer memorable — so it's what people ask for when they walk in. The story and reactions in the film are a little bit extra — but when the offer is this unbelievable, it calls for it! It's QSR magic with a wink, and we're excited to see love pouring in for the campaign.'

Sholay Climax Was Changed Due To Emergency, Reveals Farhan Akhtar
New Delhi: Ramesh Sippy's classic Sholay, led by Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Amjad Khan, Hema Malini, will complete its glorious 50th year on August 15 this year. The climax - Gabbar being arrested by police - was not the one that screenwriters Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar wrote originally. The original climax was changed due to the pressure during the Emergency era (1975). Farhan Akhtar, during a promotional event for his upcoming film 120 Bahadur, revealed what the orginal climax was and why it got changed. What Farhan Akhtar Revealed In the original climax, "Sanjeev Kumar AKA Thakur was originally meant to kill Gabbar Singh with his bare feet in a brutal act of revenge after losing his family and arms to the dacoit," said Farhan Akhtar. "That was the emotional core of the film - Thakur plotting his revenge after his hands were cut off. We get lost in the Jai-Veeru friendship, but the real spine was the honest cop going after the dacoit who ruined his life," Farhan added. "They had to change it due to the Emergency, and the original ending is now available. That is actually when he cries - after crushing Gabbar with his own feet," said Farhan. Describing the frustration of his father Javed Akhtar and writing partner Salim Khan, Farhan added, "They were wondering about everyone showing up - the villagers, the police, the protagonists - and joked that the only person missing now is a postman. The ending didn't make sense to them, but they had no choice." Sholay At 50 The restored version will have its North American premiere at the 50th Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) on September 6. The gala screening will take place at the 1,800-seater Roy Thomson Hall in Toronto. The uncut version of newly-restored Sholay and featuring the original ending - which shows Gabbar Singh being killed by Thakur instead of arrested by police, and previously deleted scenes that were not part of the widely distributed theatrical cut - had its world premiere on June 27 on the large open-air screen at Piazza Maggiore in Italy's Bologna to commemorate the film's 50th anniversary.

NewJeans' Epic Takedown: Smashing a Cyber Troll in Court and Giving Hope to All!
NewJeans When K-Pop Stars Punch Back at Online Nightmares According to Sisa Journal, imagine you're part of a sizzling K-pop group like NewJeans, pumping out tracks that get everyone grooving with their fresh energy and killer hooks, only for some sneaky internet troll to warp your wholesome content into something downright creepy. That's the wild ordeal these talented five-Minji, Hani, Danielle, Haerin, and Hyein-faced head-on, refusing to back down. They hauled an anonymous YouTuber into court, slamming him for those sleazy edited shorts and toxic comments that reeked of sexual harassment. And talk about a mic-drop moment-they totally crushed it! The court mandated compensation: 500,000 KRW (roughly 31,000 INR) each for Minji, Hani, and Danielle, with an extra boost to 700,000 KRW (about 43,000 INR) for Haerin and Hyein, considering they were minors during the mess. That stacks up to a solid 2,900,000 KRW (around 1.8 lakh INR) total, even though they originally gunning for a massive 100 million KRW (about 62 lakh INR) across the board. But hey, as Sisa Journal points out, this victory goes beyond the bucks-it's a bold statement that idols can fight these digital demons without relying on their agency's firepower. The chaos unfolded between April and May 2024, with the offender twisting innocent scenes, like the girls performing energetic dances or simply snacking on cucumbers (yep, he stooped that low), into vulgar suggestions. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Your Finger Shape Says a Lot About Your Personality, Read Now Tips and Tricks Undo He even butchered lyrics from their mega-hit 'Cookie' into crude wordplay, turning fun vibes into something gross. Wrapping up in 2025, this case amps up the ongoing saga of K-pop artists reclaiming their digital turf, much like how young creators in bustling creative hubs deal with online hate while chasing their dreams. It's empowering, showing that even in a fast-paced world of viral trends, standing your ground can lead to real change. Expanding on the backstory, Sisa Journal details how NewJeans' sharp legal squad from Yulchon Law Firm went rogue, handling the whole thing independently without a peep from their agency Ador. It's that classic tale of underdogs rising up, proving personal grit can outshine corporate clout. In an era where one viral clip can skyrocket your fame or drag you down, this win feels like a breath of fresh air, especially for the younger crowd navigating their own social media minefields while juggling studies or early careers. Exposing the Sneaky World of Hidden Online Predators For what feels like forever, these cyber pests have been dodging consequences, cloaked in anonymity on platforms like YouTube, churning out hate for easy views and quick money. Picture them as those elusive villains in a suspense flick who think they're invincible-until the plot twists and they're cornered. Drawing inspiration from IVE's powerhouse member Jang Won-young, who boldly sued a infamous troll dubbed 'Tal Deok Su Yong So' and even took it international by filing in a California court to pry open Google's records on the harasser's identity. NewJeans mirrored this savvy strategy, flooding Google with persistent info demands until the creep's cover was blown wide open. The judge kept it real, ruling that such twisted innuendos aren't harmless fun-they're a direct hit on someone's dignity, leaving deep emotional scars that linger. The increased payouts for the underage members highlight the system's push to safeguard budding talents from this kind of trash. To put it in perspective, Statista data reveals that cyberbullying affects more than 40% of young internet users worldwide, with entertainment personalities often bearing the brunt, echoing the intense fan dynamics seen in vibrant music scenes everywhere. As Sisa Journal reports, this isn't an isolated triumph; it's sparking a broader movement in K-pop, where more artists are swapping silence for legal firepower, turning the tide against these digital wreckers. It's like watching a feel-good movie where the good guys assemble and finally take down the bad apples, motivating everyone from aspiring musicians to everyday netizens to speak up. Plus, in cultures where community and respect run deep, stories like this resonate big time, reminding us how online spaces should foster creativity, not cruelty.
